RE: Creating A Duplicate Database Without Enterprise Manager

Hi There,

I was wondering if there was a simple way of create a duplicate of an entire database.

I often need to create a second copy of a database for development purposes. I have lost the use of Enterprise Manager which I can no longer simply script the database and then use dts to move the data across.

Is there a way of doing this in T-SQL?

Thanks

SteveTake a full backup and restore as a different name ... that should do it .. i think ... rather than going about it the other way round.|||You lost the use of Enterprise Manager?

Rate() and PMT()

If you are familiar with Crystal reports or Visual basic, you may be familiar with the Rate and Pmt functions.

I need to duplicate them in SQL sever 7.

Anybody have code for this already? I hate re-inventing the wheel.

More (Unnecesary) details:
I have a client who has handed me the formula that I need to use for calculating Interest rates. Unfortunatly, the formula was written in Crystal reports, so now I need to pick it apart and do the work that CR does automaticly. Any help?Check this site, it should contain what you're looking for:
