I have a process that retrieves a zip file from a FTP site, it unzip's the file, now I need to initiate a restore of a database. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Jeff

have it unzip it to a defined location and name them write a SQL command restore
Restore ....
Then put that in as a SQL task or define it with an OSQL task in a bat job and call that.

The zip file will always be extracted to the following:
c:\RealPage_FTP\U1050266.bak
I'm good with SQL from a data perspective, but not on the admin side. How would I write a SQL statement to restore this file over the existing database 'RealPage'?
thanks,
Jeff

I went through the steps of the restore, but instead of executing, I scripted it.
Does this correct?
RESTORE DATABASE [RealPage]
FROM DISK = N'C:\RealPage_FTP\U1050266.bak'
WITH FILE = 1
,NOUNLOAD
,STATS = 10
GO

The quickest way would be to do it from Mgmt Studio and instead of clicking ok use the script option to script it out.
