    Thanks Steve for this interesting question, but your explanation de facto confirms the correctness of answer number 4.

    The way answer 4 is written, I have to agree even though the question clearly states that you don't want to do a restore from a backup.  You DO have to do a restore but it only requires WITH RECOVERY instead of a restore from a backup and answer 4 is worded in such a fashion as to be correct if you only consider the words in the answer.

    It's also a good example of why I hate taking tests. 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
