adding DB from another computer

Hi!
I have copied from other computer, from location "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data" files my_db.mdf and md_db_log.ldf to other
computer to the same location, and I can't see this DB. How can I import DB
using files above?
Regards,
AreqYOu will either have to attach the database using the GUI commands for that
(Right Click on the server, either in EM or SSMS) and select attach
database, then select the appropiate database files, or use the TSQL command
sp_attachdb to attach the files. See more details about the TSQL command in
the BOL (SQL Server Help files).

Check BOL for sp_attach_db. That is probably what you need.

Here is an example from BOL
EXEC sp_attach_db @.dbname = N'pubs',
@.filename1 = N'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data\pubs.mdf',
@.filename2 = N'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data\pubs_log.ldf'
