使用SQL在VB.NET中“另存为”或“重命名”数据库的最佳方法

Question

In my application I wanted to Open an existing blank database (called "New File" - with full structure but no data), then fill the database using the application then save the database with a different name and path. What is the most appropriate method of doing this? I use SQLEXPRESS and VB.NET 2010.

Answer 1

The best supported solution would be to use SQL Server Management Objects , which provides full programmatic control to SQL Server, and is largely (exclusively?) what Management Studio uses. Something to be aware of is the difference between the logical name and physical name of the database. You original question does not address which you are attempting to rename, but they are completely separate. For the former, there should be no active processes open in the database. For the latter, you will probably find it easiest to Detach, move the file using OS conventions, then re-Attach.
