Hello!
I am searching for all kind of stuff related to execute a script that would do some querys, alter tables etc... and I haven't found anything with dbxpress driver mentioned. Now I am asking if it is possible using any dbxpress component or mybe You are thinking of creating such special component that will allow to execute a script?
Also I have been searching for the way how to execute detach and attach of a database from Delphi 7/2005, especially for archiving the database when user has MSDE instead of MS SQL server. Can You guys help?

Best regards,
Goran

An ability to execute scripts is put into MS SQL Server syntax. So you can just write a script through ";" and execute it. This method can be used for all scripts except CREATE PROCEDURE - this query always must be the first in the script.

> detach and attach

Try to close a connection, change parameters and re-connect
