Hi

With the sql server on line help , The syntax for the sp_attach_db has
the file name .It is aslo given that max of 16 files can be geven. I
attached a db with a single d.mdf .

could u pls tell what r the 16 file types or how a db can be attached
with 16 files.



With thanks

You can use CREATE DATABASE ... FOR ATTACH to attach a database of more
than 16 files. See the SQL 2000 Books Online
<tsqlref.chm::/ts_create_1up1.htm> for details.

BTW, sp_attach_db and sp_single_file_attach_db are basically just
wrappers for this command.

Hope this helps.
