What I want to accomplish is to use the data and log files from a SQL database to re- create the database on another machine, or on another instance of SQL Server. VB coders have the AttachDatabase method to do just that. My question was simply if there is a homologous method in delphi to achieve the same task, or if there is a way around the problem.
