Howdy all -
I am *not* a DBA, so please bear with me. A client's Windows 2000
server went belly up yesterday afternoon after getting updates from
Windows Update. Wouldn't come up at all any more. I broke the mirror
for the OS, rebuilt the Windows 2000 installation, and installed MS-SQL
2000 and SP3 so that now the server is configured identically to what
it was before the crash.
Now I have the databases in D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data. D: is a mirror of the (now broken) old
installation. How can I get the databases into the active installation
of MS-SQL on the C: drive?
I was thinking of creating databases with the same name, shutting down
SQL and copying the files from D: to C: but that sounds too easy.
Any pointers greatly appreciated. Please remember that I am not an
experienced DBA, so use short words and speak slowly... :-)
