Hi,
What is the best way to copy sql database from one server to another server? (include time constraints)
DB Size: 11GB
Copy methods:
- Detach the database from the old server and attach it in the new server
- Back up the database in the old server and restore it in the destination server
- Using copy database wizard in SQL Server Management Studio
- Generate the create script using Generate Script Wizard (SSMS) and execute it in the destination server
- Using Transfer Object in SMO
- Database publishing wizard
