Eric, you have to adjust your expections. :) -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Eric Barro Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 9:54 AM To: 'Discussion concerning MS SQL Server' Subject: Re: [dba-SQLServer] Copy a database usinga storedprocedureorfunction Geez John... This is no way to treat a lady! "Even your example doesn't directly help me much, though it certainly provides me with syntax that might eventually get me there." It's like telling her..."I like you but I don't like you that much...besides I got what I want from you" ;) -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 7:28 AM To: 'Discussion concerning MS SQL Server' Subject: Re: [dba-SQLServer] Copy a database using a storedprocedureorfunction ROTFL. Liz, you are a nice lady. I will be honest with you, being in the laity I find BOL useless. The explanations are endless loops of code that does not run as typed, and references to other entries of code that does not run as typed, and pages of arcane syntax that are no doubt useful to those more directly involved in SQL Server. There is a good reason that there are aftermarket books (which I own AND READ) to explain this stuff. I have read chapters Chapters 11, 12 and 13 of Robert Vieira's excellent Beginning SQL Server 2005 Programming and I am slowly learning, but no surprise, the question I asked is a bit beyond what a book like that can even consider. As I have clearly stated, I am not an SQL Server admin, programmer, manager or anything else. I just use it, quite successfully all things considered. Even your example doesn't directly help me much, though it certainly provides me with syntax that might eventually get me there. John W.

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.
