public void DetachDatabase ( String databaseName, boolean updateStatistics )
public function DetachDatabase ( databaseName : String, updateStatistics : boolean )
Parameters
- databaseName
A String value that specifies the name of the database to be detached.
- updateStatistics
A Boolean value that specifies whether to update the statistics for the database before detaching it.
If True, statistics are updated.
If False, statistics are not updated.
Updated text:
The data and transaction log files of a database can be detached and then reattached to the same or another instance of SQL Server. Detaching and attaching a database is useful if you want to change the database to a different instance of SQL Server on the same computer, or if you want to move the database.
This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
