Issue with Database Restore from Production

I restored my test database form production; updates the value of HTTPAlias in PortalAlias.

I've noticed other tables also referencing values for production server. e.h the Urls table containing Url pointing to production.

How do I make sure noting is pointing to production after the restore?

URLs table should contain relative URLs only, otherwise it is an issue in the module generating the records.

Re: Issue with Database Restore from Production

The urls table contains values with the server name. e.g.

http://myServerName/MyWork/myTopics/tabid/65/Default.aspx?Command=Core_Download&EntryId=38072

Re: Issue with Database Restore from Production

You might perform a replace on the Urls table:

U P D A T E dbo.Urls
S E T Url = REPLACE(URL, N'http://yourServerName', N'http://NewServerName')
W H E R E Url Like N'http://yourServerName/%'

(I had to add spaced into "update", "set" and "where" to pass the security checks in this forums)
