Remarks

The AttachGeodatabase method allows a Geodatabase to be attached to a Database Server.   The dataFileName parameter must contain the full path name to the mdf file to be attached, for example: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\MyDatabase.mdf".    The logFileName is an optional parameter, i.e., you can set it to 0.  If not specified, the log file will be re-created.  The Geodatabase must first have been detached from a database server, before it can be attached.

You must be a server administrator to perform this operation.
