How to detach and attach a database in SQL Server

The Detach and Attach functionality that comes with the Studio is the fastest method to easily migrate a database to a different instance or server as compared to others. And it is also the simplest one.
The operation can be done in a few clicks, it doesn't take much time and doesn't require deep database expertise.

In this video tutorial, we will show you how to migrate a database from one server to another using the Detach and Attach functionality of dbForge Studio for SQL Server, a universal IDE for common database development, management, and administration tasks.
The only restriction is that a SQL Server version of the target instance must be the same or later than that of the source one.
In this tutorial, we will transfer the AdventureWorks2019 database from one server to another to show you how it works.
