Help.

We lost one of our NT boxes, but was able to save the SQL files. How can I get them to be recognized in an new install of SQL7?

The previous version of SQL that created this DB is gone.

THanks,

J

Check out SP_ATTACH_DB. Example below.

EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = N'pubs',
@filename1 = N'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\pubs.mdf',
@filename2 = N'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\pubs_log.ldf'
