Author "Installing" a SQL Server Database
Tony

2002-11-29, 9:23 am

Hi all,

I am using an MSPRESS trainging book for ASP.NET. In one
chapter it says to install the "Contacts" database from a
folder on the cd. In this folder there are four files:

Contacts.LDF 1,024 KB
Contacts.mdb 1,188 KB
Contacts.MDF 1,152 KB
InstallContacts.sql 21 KB

How do I go about creating the database in SQL Server? I
have installed the SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition on my
machine (Win2k Pro).

Thanks!

Well... I suspect the book has some more detailed instructions, but... I
have you looked at the contents of InstallContacts.sql ? You can probally
run this script from Query Analyzer (ships with SQL Server) to create the DB
from scratch.

You can also look in Books Online under sp_attach_db for infomation about
how to attach the database files with the .mdf and .ldf extensions. The .mdb
is probally an Access database.
