Trasfer Database from one SQL server to another

  • I want to create a database, with data, users, security, relationships etc. on SQL Server 2008

    and then I want to move the database (with users, data, security, relationships, etc) to another server.

    Is there any tool I can use it for this purpose?

  • Do you want to move the database to another SQL 2008 instance? If so, make a full backup and restore it on the destination instance. If the destination is SQL 2000 or SQL 2005, use SSIS.

  • Thanks for your reply,

    Actually I want to copy the database from one SQL server 2008 to another Sql server 2008. 1st server is active server and second server is test server.

    Well, I'm new one in SQL server, so can you describe me procedures for the copy? (or backup or what ever?)

    What is the size of your database? If it is small then you can backup and restore Or you can detach the database and attach it.
