Using SQL Server Management Studio

To detach a database

1. In SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer, connect to the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine and then expand the instance.

2. Expand Databases, and select the name of the user database you want to detach.

3. Right-click the database name, point to Tasks, and then click Detach. The Detach Database dialog box appears.

   • Databases to detach
     Lists the databases to detach.

   • Database Name
     Displays the name of the database to be detached.

   • Drop Connections
     Disconnect connections to the specified database.

     [!UWAGA]

     You cannot detach a database with active connections.

   • Update Statistics
     By default, the detach operation retains any out-of-date optimization statistics when detaching the database; to update the existing optimization statistics, click this check box.

   • Keep Full-Text Catalogs
     By default, the detach operation keeps any full-text catalogs that are associated with the database. To remove them, clear the Keep Full-Text Catalogs check box. This option appears only when you are upgrading a database from SQL Server 2005.

   • Status
     Displays one of the following states: Ready or Not ready.

   • Message
     The Message column may display information about the database, as follows:

     • When a database is involved with replication, the Status is Not ready and the Message column displays Database replicated.

     • When a database has one or more active connections, the Status is Not ready and the Message column displays <number_of_active_connections> Active connection(s) — for example: 1 Active connection(s). Before you can detach the database, you need to disconnect any active connections by selecting Drop Connections.

     To obtain more information about a message, click the hyperlinked text to open Activity Monitor.

4. When you are ready to detach the database, click OK.

[!UWAGA]

The newly detached database will remain visible in the Databases node of Object Explorer until the view is refreshed. You can refresh the view at any time: Click in the Object Explorer pane, and from the menu bar select View and then Refresh.
