As you know, SQL Server 2008 R2 Express supports 10GB.
So What happens if I try to attach a file which’s size is more than 10GB?
choices,
A- warn me before trying to attach and stop attaching.
B- attach 10gb of file and then warn me about “can not attach anymore”.
B makes no sense. Are you suggesting it would stop mid-field and just leave it hanging?
Attaching a database does not involve processing transactions – it’s all or nothing.
