DBFs into SQL Server 2008

ITKE — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:28:14 +0000

Does anyone know of an efficient way to import DBFs into SQL Server 2008 (besides the “import into Access, then import the Access files into SQL server-method”)? I don’t work with SQL Server much, but I do it enough to have had this problem before (to be exact, it seems I have this problem once a year).

Db23 — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 03:38:56 +0000

Hi,

I am at total lost at trying to copy system db(master, model, distribution, etc) from a 2005 server on one machine to another 2005 server on a different machine, so all the logins, job, etc are also copied to the new server.

I have tried to google this problem and am at a lost to how to do this. Is possible to even do this, if it isn’t can someone please suggest a good practice at how I should go abouts at create a standby server from a production server.

Basically what I have now is a script to copy and restore all the user dbs on the prod to standby server, but what about the logins, jobs, alerts, replication data on the production server, how do I go about copying these over so the standby server will still function?

I am really at a lost so any input and idea will be greatly beneficial to me.

Thanks.
