  • Article

As a SQL Server DBA, the migration of SQL Server from an existing version to the latest version is a usual activity. In today’s cloud-oriented world, many organizations still prefer an on-prem environment; my organization is one of them. There are multiple reasons to keep your data on-prem, like having more privacy and control of the environment. Currently, our major project is to migrate our existing Microsoft SQL Server 2019 to SQL Server 2022. Recently, we completed the POC. Today, let’s discuss the steps of the SQL Server 2022 installation and migration of our databases.

Question of the Day

A Quick Restore

While doing some testing of an application, I wanted to reset my environment after doing some testing with this code: 

USE DNRTest

BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'
GO
/*
Bunch of stuff tested here
*/RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
What happens if this runs, assuming the "bunch of stuff" isn't anything affecting the instance.
