Remarks
When sp_attach_single_file_db attaches the database to the server, it builds a new log file and performs additional cleanup work to remove replication from the newly attached database.
Used sp_attach_single_file_db only on databases that were previously detached from the server using an explicit sp_detach_db operation.
Permissions
Only members of the sysadmin and dbcreator fixed server roles can execute this procedure.
Examples
This example detaches pubs and then attaches one file from pubs to the current server.
EXEC sp_detach_db @dbname = 'pubs'
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname = 'pubs',
@physname = 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\pubs.mdf'
