I'm trying to use ADO to restore a SQL 7 database using a backup file. The
database already exists on the target computer, and is named the same as on
the source computer, and the MDF and LDF files are named the same as well.
I am running the below in a stored procedure:
RESTORE DATABASE DB1
FROM DISK = 'c:\mssql7\backup\DB1.bak'
WITH MOVE 'DB1' TO 'c:\mssql7\data\DB1.mdf',
MOVE 'DB1_log' TO 'c:\mssql7\data\DB1_log.ldf'
And I get an error message "File 'DB1' is not a database file for database
'DB1' ".
I also tried it without the LDF file in the expression. Same results.
Thanks.

Add ", REPLACE" to your command.

OK, replaced the original command with:
RESTORE DATABASE DB1
FROM DISK = 'c:\mssql7\backup\DB1.bak'
WITH MOVE DB1 TO 'c:\mssql7\data\DB1.mdf',
MOVE DB1_log' TO 'c:\mssql7\data\DB1_log.ldf',
REPLACE
Got the same error message.

As a followup to my previous message, I also tried the modified command
directly from Query Analyzer, and got the same message. I then tried to
restore the backup file from Enterprise Manager, and it worked fine. But
couldn't get the SQL to work.
However, I still need to get it to work, as I have an associate who needs to
restore the same backup set, but he doesn't have QA or EM. He's running the
SQL in a stored procedure using ADO.
Thanks,
Neil

OK, I got it to work. Seems I was using MOVE to move the MDF and LDF to
those locations; but the MDF and LDF for the database that was being
overwritten were already at those locations. So I removed the MOVE commands,
and it worked fine. The final version was:
RESTORE DATABASE DB1
FROM DISK = 'c:\mssql7\backup\DB1.bak'
WITH RESTORE
Thanks!

Got the same error message.
The the problem is that the logical names of the files are not DB1 and
DB1_log. You can retrieve these names with RESTORE FILELISTONLY.
