To restore the SQLSpyNet database you will need to use the above code within Query Analyzer of course!

1: RESTORE DATABASE SQLSpyNet

2: FROM DISK = 'Download Location of SQLSpyNet.bak'

3: WITH REPLACE,

4: MOVE 'SQLSpyNet_Data' TO 'Location of Data files with the name

SQLSpyNet_Data.mdf',

5: MOVE 'SQLSpyNet_Log' TO 'Location of Log files with the name

SQLSpyNet_Log.mdf',

6: STATS = 10

Just remeber though on Line 2 you will need to replace "Download Location of SQLSpyNet.bak" with the path that you downloaded the SQLSpyNet.bak file to For example'C:\Temp\SQLSpyNet.bak'. The same for lines 4 & 5. Replace the text I have there with the paths that you wish to save the .mdf and .ldf files to. The following code snippet gives you an example of what your code may look like after changing the text as I have specified.

RESTORE DATABASE SQLSpyNet

FROM DISK = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

Server\MSSQL$MYSQLSERVER\BACKUP\SQLSpyNet.bak'

WITH REPLACE,

MOVE 'SQLSpyNet_Data' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

Server\MSSQL$MYSQLSERVER\DATA\SQLSpyNet_Data.mdf',

MOVE 'SQLSpyNet_Log' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

Server\MSSQL$MYSQLSERVER\DATA\SQLSpyNet_Log.mdf',

STATS = 10

For more information on restoring databases refer to Chapter 10 in the book. The process is described in a little more detail there. The code listings on the site have been made available to make life a little easier for you. However you should note that in some instances you cannot run the whole code file for whole a chapter in one go. Instead the recommended approach is to run each code listing seperately. The reason for this is the code appears as it does in the book. However SQL Server requires that CREATE statements i.e. CREATE PROCEDURE are the first lines of code in batch.

Also you need to be aware of the placeholders in the listings. You may find in the code listings that I have a direct reference to the physical location of a file on disk. You NEED to change this before the code will run. For example if I have BACKUP DATABASE SQLSPyNet TO DISK = 'x:\SQLSpyNet.bak' you would need to change the "x:\" to the actual path where you would like the backup to be saved to.

Anyway enjoy the book, and most of all have fun!
