DatabaseName Element (XMLA)

Identifies the [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] [!INCLUDEssASnoversion] database to be restored by the parent Restore command.

Syntax

  
<Restore>  
   ...  
   <DatabaseName>...</DatabaseName>  
   ...  
</Restore>  

Element Characteristics

Characteristic	Description
Data type and length	String
Default value	None
Cardinality	0-1: Optional element that can occur once and only once.

Element Relationships

Relationship	Element
Parent elements	Restore
Child elements	None

Remarks

The DatabaseName element identifies the database into which the Restore command restores a backup file. If this element is not specified or contains an empty string, the name of the database contained in the backup file is used.

If the database already exists on the target instance, an error occurs unless the AllowOverwrite element for the parent Restore command is set to True.
