Microsoft SQL Server/Database manipulation
Creation
editTo create a database, its files have to be defined:
- Master Database File (.mdf)
- Log Database File (.ldf)
CREATE DATABASE [MyDB] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'MyDB', FILENAME = N'D:\DATASQL\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\MyDB.mdf' , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'MyDB_log', FILENAME = N'D:\DATASQL\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\MyDB_log.ldf' , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO
Reading
editThen to select it, it's either possible to set it at the beginning of the script:
USE MyDB;
SELECT * FROM MyTable;
or to call all the objects with their full path. Eg:
SELECT * FROM [MyDB].[dbo].[MyTable];
Backup

Restoration
editIf the database to restore doesn't exist on the destination server, it's necessary to create it empty first. In SSMS, with a right click on Databases, New database.
The process is a right click on the database to restore, and Restore the database, select the .bak.
Otherwise in SQL it gives:
RESTORE DATABASE MyDB
FROM DISK = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Backup\2016-02-16-MyDB.bak'
