Hi All,
I have SQL Server database. Server name is DBServer. I have database A
in this server. If i click properties, the data files name show
"A_Data" and the transaction log name show "A_Log". I backup database A
to C:\ABackup.
After that, i create database B. I want to restore database A to
database B. I choose "from device" and select the location to
C:\ABackup. But when i tried to restore, in the Original File Name
(tab Option) show "A_Data" and "A_Log". If i click OK to restore, the
data files name and transaction log name will change into A_Data and
A_Log.
What i want is that in my database B the name of data files and
transaction log not change after i do restore from database A.
Does anybody know how to do that?
Thanks before.On the Restore Database window select your file using 'From device'.
Go to Options. On 'Restore As' update the directory path and file name. You
can not change the logical name here, only the physical name.
Finish the Restore
If you are using SQL Server 2005
Select Database Properties, select Files tab
You can change the Logical Name here.
Hope this helps,

You can restore a database with a different name ,so there is no need to
create a new database prior to restore operation
