Fully automated SQL Server Restore

Question

I\'m not very fluent with SQL Server commands.

I need a script to restore a database from a .bak file and move the logical_data and logical_log files to a specific p

Answer 1

not sure how to add comments under a particular solution but I have just implemented the solution provided by Mevdiven above...

There is a slight problem with the drop table in my environment (Server 08 r2). I have had to modify this to use the object id in order to drop successfully.

I also had problems due to a large number of partitions in the backup file, so I had to change the string to be nvarchar(MAX).

I also added ability to restore the database into another directory (as our dev vs prod environments have different paths)
