Okay guys here is the problem I have a database call PRD in the production server I have the same database on the development server. What would be the best way of updating the data on the development server with the data of the production server. The database consists of about 183 tables. What ever the approach is I’m going have to do it about 2 to 3 times a day, basically we are currently developing and testing lots of applications and we would always like to be working with the newest data.


Thank You

I would use BACKUP/RESTORE.

I agree with tkizer - BACKUP/RESTORE is probably the the cleanest method , but you may also consider DTS if it's a specific requirement
