| Take a backup of the database and send the backup file by whatever means, email or anything else. See here on how to take a backup http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187510.aspx |

Yes you can, but it is not recommended. Detaching a database requires downtime, backup does not.Tara KizerSQL Server MVP since 2007http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |
