复制数据库的最佳方法是什么?

备份和恢复是我所知道的最直接的方法。您必须在服务器之间小心,因为安全凭据不会随还原的数据库一起提供。

可以跳过创建空数据库的步骤。可以在还原过程中创建新数据库。

这实际上是我所知道的克隆数据库的最简单和最好的方法。您可以通过编写备份和还原过程的脚本来消除错误,而不是通过SQL Server Management Studio运行该过程。

您还可以探索其他两个选项:

1. 分离数据库,复制.mdf文件并重新附加。
2. 使用SQL Server集成服务(SSIS)复制所有对象

我建议在必要的时候坚持备份、恢复和自动化。

这是我过去使用过的动态SQL脚本。它可以进一步修改,但它将为您提供基础知识。我更喜欢编写脚本以避免使用Management Studio时出现的错误:

Declare @OldDB varchar(100)
Declare @NewDB varchar(100)
Declare @vchBackupPath varchar(255)
Declare @query varchar(8000)


/*Test code to implement 
Select @OldDB = 'Pubs'
Select @NewDB = 'Pubs2'
Select @vchBackupPath = '\\dbserver\C$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\pubs.bak'
*/

SET NOCOUNT ON;

Select @query = 'Create Database ' + @NewDB
exec(@query)

Select @query = '
Declare @vBAKPath varchar(256)
declare @oldMDFName varchar(100)
declare @oldLDFName varchar(100)
declare @newMDFPath varchar(100)
declare @newLDFPath varchar(100)
declare @restQuery varchar(800)

select @vBAKPath = ''' + @vchBackupPath + '''
select @oldLDFName = name from ' + @OldDB +'.dbo.sysfiles where filename like ''%.ldf%''
select @oldMDFName = name from  ' + @OldDB +'.dbo.sysfiles where filename like ''%.mdf%''
select @newMDFPath = physical_name from ' + @NewDB +'.sys.database_files where type_desc = ''ROWS''
select @newLDFPath = physical_name from ' + @NewDB +'.sys.database_files where type_desc = ''LOG''

select @restQuery = ''RESTORE DATABASE ' + @NewDB + 
' FROM DISK = N'' + '''''''' + @vBAKpath + '''''''' + 
'' WITH MOVE N'' + '''''''' + @oldMDFName + '''''''' +  
'' TO N'' + '''''''' + @newMDFPath + '''''''' +  
'', MOVE N'' + '''''''' + @oldLDFName + '''''''' +  
'' TO N'' + '''''''' + @newLDFPath + '''''''' +  
'', NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10''

exec(@restQuery)
--print @restQuery'


exec(@query)
