[dba-SQLServer] Copy a database using astored procedureorfunction

I did Google search and got a bunch of "how to use the wizards" stuff.
Google has a lot of good stuff, but you really have to know how to phrase
the question or you just get "how to use the wizard" type answers.

Believe me Eric, I read my books, and I Google before I ever come here.

So John...Elizabeth searched BOL for 'copy database' and she found it in
less time than it took for you to formulate your original question?

What's up with that? :)

Me thinks you need "Google Search"...reminds me of what the users wanted for
searching a component parts list in our company. When asked what types of
searches they conduct they simply said "we want to search on everything". Ya
right! They wanted "Google Search" all right.

I don't go to BOL either John so don't feel guilty. :) I go to "Google
Search".

I am embarrassed to be held up as any kind of example in this company of
experts. 

I searched BOL for 'copy database', something that I do regularly instead of
bringing my simple questions to gurus.  I got an answer from BOL in less
time than it took JC to formulate his original question.
Which, coincidentally, is much much less time than all the combined rants on
this topic.  

Of course, I've found much to learn, even in the rants, which is what is
continuously wonderful about this list.


Thanks, 


Liz

Yes, Robert, it was a huge waste of MY time, and undoubtedly yours.  It just
shows how little you read from my posts.  I have clearly stated that I know
nothing.  Your response is two pages of stuff that I have no clue what it is
and am entirely incapable of understanding, then you state that is only half
the solution and it is now time for me to go write the other half.

OTOH look at Elizabeth's solution.  It apparently works and is compact and
readable.  And no snotty "now go learn enough to be worthy to be in my
presence" comments.

Yes, Robert, it was a huge waste of MY time, and probably yours.  

I have no doubt that you know this stuff, you are just useless to me.
It is not my fault that you are useless to me BTW.  

Take off your Priest robes, roll up your sleeves, get the "tone" out of your
voice and write simple code with explanations of what it does and you could
be helpful.  Until such time, do not bother to respond to my requests for
help because you are useless to me, and you are just irritating (apparently
your intent).  

If you want to be treated as the professional that you seem to be, act like
it.

John,

So the code I sent you for a parameterized stored procedure to do everything
except the restore was "less than useful."

I apologize for the "huge waste of everybody's time" (including
mine) to give you a good, solid, viable way of solving your problem.

Robert
