Hi Guys,

I need to refresh SQL Database. We got three servers

Server (A) Production
Server (B) Replication of Production
Server (C) Development

I need to get the last data to develop few requirements. We need to refresh data on server (B) and then refresh on server (C). On both the servers do I need to right click on database and then click on refresh to refresh database or do I need to run any script? Please can anyone help me out with query, we are using SQL 2008.

Can anyone please provide if any script available

Thanks,

D

The Refresh simply refreshs your view/screen with the list of objects.

To move data from production to test and dev, I would either
- backup the production database. restore into test/dev. scramble the data in certain tables, if required. reset the logins. and re-release any changes to the database (floowing your change control process).
- if its a small set of tables, tansfer the data using BCP/import wizard
