SQL Server quick restore
I'll often need to restore a database on my local dev box so I keep this in my snippets section. (DO NOT USE ON PRODUCTION)
Just replace [DB] with [your-database-name] and provide the correct information in the RESTORE DATABASE section and run this. This ensures that all current connections to SQL server are closed before attempting the restore.
use [master]
--Make Database to single user Mode
ALTER DATABASE [DB]
SET SINGLE_USER WITH
ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
--Restore Database
RESTORE DATABASE [DB]
FROM DISK = '.bak'
WITH MOVE '' TO '.mdf',
MOVE '' TO '.ldf'
--If there is no error in statement before database will be in multiuser mode.
--If error occurs please execute following command it will convert database in multi user.
ALTER DATABASE [DB] SET MULTI_USER
GO
