Suppose I want to send a database to someone else via internet. Sometimes I want to let people from other forums to have my code and data so they can see what's wrong.

I'm not being able to send my database succesfuly.

I perform a back up, then I pack my project along with the back up, and I expect that they restore from the back up. But apparently it is not working.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your time

There are many reasons whu the backup may not be restoring - such as , they are attempting to restore a SQL Server higher version database backup to a lower SQL server version. Do they send you any error messages?

Ah ok, so it should work unless they use the wrong version...

What could I do then?, How can I put the database or it's contents in SkyDrive, so any person can download it and create the database in his or her environment?

Thanks in advance for your time

You could also set the table to federate and allow them permission to edit your table.
