How to attach a restored DB to a WSS 2.0 site.
Hi,The question is in context with WSS 2.0.As a part of backup and restore activity we are taking daily backup of our PROD database(SQL 2000). Accidentally we have deleted some files. Now to recover them we have restored the DB (which contains those files) to our Development DB (SQL 2000). The DB is of approx 62 GB !!. Now I want to attach this DB to my Development site. I tried attaching this restoredDB thorough front end ; but it is not working. I created an altoghther different Web application and attached this restored DB (and removed the default DB assocaited while creation new web app). Still the DB is not getting restored.I read somewhere to use stsadm upgrade command to reflect the changes but still is not working...In WSS 3.0 I have attached content DB thorugh addcontentdb command. Somehow in WSS 2.0 there is no addcontent DB commnad . And adding through Central Admin is not working. Any help or suggestions!!!

Hi Shubhangi,There is no such command which you can use it in Wss2.0 to add the database. What error are you getting while adding the database to web application from SharePoint central administration site. What is service pack levek for Wss2.0(make sure wss2.0 service pack 3) ?Thanks,Yogesh.
