I have tested this in our development environment by using 2 differenct methods :1/ Detach/Attach.2/ Backup/Restore.Both methods work fine except obviously the detach/attach method is very quick and the backup/restore takes several hours. My questions is am I getting any advantage in the way of fragmentation etc by doing a backup/restore as opposed to just doing the detach/attach.Thanks in advance.Neil." |

| I'd do the detach / attach method followed by reindexing. Make sure you update statistics after reattaching.------------Chris LivelyLively Consulting |
