I have a trial version of SQL Server 2012 Enterprise on our test server that has expired. I would like to install a fresh copy of another Enterprise edition and attach the current db to the new one. I have done this locally by moving the mdf and ldf files to the new destination, then attaching the db through SSMS.
However the database on the test server is 700GB big and besides the mdf/ldf files there are 16 partitions (sql server database secondary data files). Will the same procedure apply in this case?
