Currently I develop desktop applications with Vfp 6 & 9. The data entry to the databases are been done by say operators in desktops. The owner generally has a laptop and he likes to copy the data to his laptop in the evening so that he can evaluate the work done so far.
Now the operators copy the data to a flash drive and gives it to the owner when they leave for home. Will the sql process be as easy as that or very different. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Stephen Russell" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2011 5:43 PM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Copying SQL Data from one m/c to another > On Sat, Aug 27, 2011 at 5:16 AM, Ajoy Khaund <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> If SQL Server Express Edition is installed in two computers, then can I >> just copy the data folder from the first machine and paste it to the >> second machine. >> Is that possible or is it something completely different? > ----------------- > > Read up on detach and reattach. > > There are data meta databases as well as your database.
