SQL script to “copy” a database

Question

I want to write a SQL script that will copy a database on the same server. I could do a backup/restore, but I think it might be faster to just \"copy\" somehow. Does anyon

Answer 1

CREATE DATABASE mydatabase_copy AS COPY OF mydatabase;

This will work on an AZURE Database, and will achieve the same end result. Two attached databases - the original and the copied one.
