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" ;)

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.

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
