Here is a stored procedure that will restore your database without having to remember the SQL syntax of the RESTORE DATABASE command in SQL Server 2000. This stored procedure is to be compiled and run from MSDB. The stored procedure reads from the registry to figure out the data and log path of the database files. To execute this stored procedure run the following statement:
exec pr_restore_database_new ‘ database name’, ‘the path of the backup file’, ‘backup type’
The backup types are: B = Full Backup, D = Differential Backup, L = Log Backup
The caveat here is that the way the stored procedure is written the database backup needs to be in its own backup folder. So for example, D:\DBBackups\Test\Test.bak
Here is the script:
CREATE procedure pr_restore_database_new(
@bk_name nvarchar(50),
@bk_path nvarchar(120),
@bk_type char(1)
)
