I am a senior software programmer who is still working hard to get a DBA hat. I am in love with SQL Server. SQL Server for me is all about passion. I am MCSA in SQL Server. Through this blog I am giving myself an opportunity to learn more about SQL, as well as sharing my knowledge and expertise with the world.

Question of the Day

Restoring On Top I

I am doing development work on a database and want to keep a backup so I can reset my database. I make some changes and want to restore over top of my changes. When I run this code, what happens?

USE Master
BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'
GO

USE DNRTest
GO
CREATE TABLE MyTest(myid INT)
GO
USE master
RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
