asp_database_setup thread: Re: SQL Restore script


Message #1 by "Lasse Seten" <lasse@w...> on Wed, 18 Dec 2002 01:05:32
I had the same problem and my solution was:
Make sure you don't open the database you are restoring. Use any other DB.
Your modified code should look similar to this...

: set conn = server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
:    conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Driver={SQL
: Server};Server=servername;Database=master;UID=User;PWD=password"
:
: SQL = "Restore Database MyTest from Disk='c:\mytest.bk' with
: Recovery"
:
: Set RS=Conn.execute(SQL)

Regards Lasse
