  • what do you mean by refresh? do you mean restore?

  • You do have to define refresh. For example, we do a regular "refresh" where in we move the production database down to our QA environment through a backup and restore. This is followed by a few scripts to clean up security and eliminate some sensitive production information. That's one method of "refresh." Another one that we do is build a development database from scratch, dropping the old one. We use Visual Studio Team System to do this, but it's also possible to do using tools like Red Gate SQL Compare. You can even build out the whole thing by hand, but that's really hard.

    What are you looking for in particular?
