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'

Adding column problem

I consulted the SQL2K help for adding a table and copied the code and
substituted my own variables, but I get an error message about incorrect
syntax regarding the AS in line 1. I'm a newbie and am bummed that the code
provided in the help doesn't work--I'm assuming there's something I don't
know here. Here's the code:
---
Dim t_AssessmentItem As SQLDMO.Table
Dim OutputAssessmentLevelID As New SQLDMO.Column
OutputAssessmentLevelID.Name = "ShelfLife"
OutputAssessmentLevelID.Datatype = "CodeID"
OutputAssessmentLevelID.AllowNulls = False
OutputAssessmentLevelID.DRIDefault.Int = "AssessmentLevelID"
Set t_AssessmentItem = _
oSQLServer.Databases("PowerSuasionDevLocal").Tables("t_AssessmentItem")
t_AssessmentItem.BeginAlter
t_AssessmentItem.Columns.Add OutputAssessmentLevelID
t_AssessmentItem.DoAlter
--
Thanks for your help,
karolus> OutputAssessmentLevelID.DRIDefault.Int = "AssessmentLevelID"
I don't see an Int property for the DRIDefault object. You might try
specifying a default constraint name and value instead. For example:
OutputAssessmentLevelID.DRIDefault.Name = "DF_t_AssessmentItem_ShelfLife"
OutputAssessmentLevelID.DRIDefault.Text = "0"
Hope this helps.

Karolus,
You say your problem is about "incorrect syntax regard the AS in line
1".
It looks like you are using VB/VBA. Have you set a reference to the
"Microsoft SQLDMO Object Library"?
If you haven't, then "SQLDMO.Column" will not work.
Check:
VBA = Tools > References
VB = Project > References
Sincerely,
Chris O.
