SQL Server 2000 Database Restore

  • Hi,

    Im able to restore a database from a .BAK file & the data imports fine, the issue im having is after the data has been successfully imported...

    Before the database restore the database name (In my case GlobalSTORE) has a little hand? under the database, then after the restore its gone and consequently I cant get the GlobalSTORE application to make a connection with the GlobalSTORE database.

    I need to know how to get that little hand? back again. I presume this has something to do with replication??

    Please see pic below as to the "Little Hand" i refer.

    Below is a step by step account of how I restore the database.

    -Open SQL Enterprise 2000 & navigate to the "GlobalSTORE" Database.

    -Right click on the "GlobalSTORE" database >> All Tasks >> Restore from Database.

    -I restore "From a Device" which is the local HDD and select the appropriate .BAK file.

    -Under the options tab i select the checkbox "Force Restore Over Existing Database"

    -Click OK and the restore begins & ends successfully.

    Regards

    -Mike

  • Apologies, I just realized I pasted this under the SQL 2005 section.

    Is anyone still able to shed some light on this issue?

  • Do you know what kind of replication you have setup on the database? You can script the replication from database on the source and then run that script on the destination.
