通过C＃代码从备份文件还原远程计算机上的MSSQL数据库

Question

I have a mssql database on remote machine and backup file for this database. I want to create a method (c#) for restoring of database from backup. I will execute my method on my local machine. Can somebody help me to create such method for restoring remote database?

Answer 1

Try the this:

    public  void RestoreDatabase(string fileName)
    {
        try 
        {           
            using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("connectionString"))
            {
                string sql = "RESTORE DATABASE YourDatabase FROM DISK = N''" + fileName;
                conn.Open();
                SqlCommand _command = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
                _command.ExecuteNonQuery();                
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
             throw;
        }
    }

You call it this way :

    RestoreDatabase(@"\\remotemachine\...\YourFile.bak");

NB: Put an actual path for where the file is located
