Hi all. Sorry for the OT post. If anyone actually sees this, can you 
please respond directly as I'm still not seeing my posts and the ones 
coming in are quite erratic.

I've made a backup of my shopping cart database in SQL Server. When I 
set up a new cart, I just do a restore to a different physical 
filename. However, the logical filename is always the same as the 
original. I can't find alot about this in a couple hours of reading 
SQL documentation, but it does say that when you do a restore, you 
can either restore using the logical filename or the physical 
filename.

My questions: If I need to restore one of the cart databases for some 
reason, will everything be OK if I just choose the correct backup 
files and restore to the physical filename?

What would happen if I did a restore to the logical filename? I 
presume it would change all the databases with that logical filename?

I also read in my travels that all databases must have a unique 
logical filename, but obviously SQL lets me add databases all day 
long with the same logical filename.

Is there a way to change the logical filename of a database either 
during or after a restore? It won't let me change it in the options 
dialog. Well, it lets me change it, but then returns an error that 
the logical filename is not part of the database.

Thanks for any help you SQL gurus can give me on this one.
