Should I use a SQL script, or what?My co-worker thinks you can just copy a database to another DB server, but I don't think it is that easy.(move the *.MDF,*.LDF files)Also the database will need to be populated. I can create the SQL Script to insert all the needed records.ThankDan " |

| You can do it either way.The easiest is to use sp_detachdb and then sp_attachdb (see BOL)but you can also do a copy in the way you mention or use DTS.Paul |
