| Chris writes "Does SQL need to have the server running in order to access the database? I uploaded the two files, AZWD.MDF and AZWD.LDF to a root directory in a website. Is there a way to connect to them without them having to be in a directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data?Thanks,Chris" |

The database engine of the instance has to be running for you to acces the contents of the Server.The MDF and LDF don't have to be in the "C:\Program Files\..." folder they can be anywhere but they must be attached to that instance. quote:
Also look for sp_attach_db in SQL Server help file BOL
BOL is always a good place to start...RegardsNIf you want your computer to be faster then throw it out of the window. |
