CREATE DATABASE Test GO SELECT * INTO Test..MagazineNETSchedule from MagazineNETSchedule SELECT * INTO Test..Issue from Issue GO BACKUP DATABASE [Test] TO DISK = N'd:\Test.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'my special DB', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 GO DROP DATABASE Test GO CREATE DATABASE Test GO RESTORE DATABASE Test FROM DISK = N'd:\Test.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'Test' TO N'd:\Test', MOVE N'Test_log' TO N'<d:\Test.ldf>', NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10 GO <move tables with DROP + SELECT INTO or DELETE + INSERT INTO> GO DROP DATABASE Test GOBut, the restore didn't work as is. I had to do a manual restore. There was some kind of error which I don't remember. As for the move table, I didn't understand what to do exactly so I went from the insert from one database to another.
