Best practice is to explicitly specify the table name/alias for every column in a query. Otherwise, if one of the tables adds a column with the same name, the same...

Other issues:
1) if there's an error in a db file (such as would show up in a DBCC CHECKDB), it won't reattach
2) during a reattach, the file gets...

It's no longer needed for moving files around on the same instance. Instead you can update the master catalog with the file locations, take the db offline, move the files,...

It may depend on specifically what you're trying to do.
