A guy (say MrQ) on group microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet have posted a funny question

MrQ

Hi,
Can I backup & restore my sql server database from aspx page located on a
client machine ?
Thank You.

First answer (say MrA)

Sure you can .

use BACKUP DATABASE sql statement..

Just remember do not connect to the DB you want to back up. Connect to
master DB

MrQ

Thank you for your reply.
How can I implment this?

MrA

I am afraid you cant. If you asking this

MrQ

Sure I know how to backup and restore a db using sql server 2000 or 2005. Im
asking about how can I provide a web form, using asp.net 2.0, to the client
that can let him or her do the same task remotely?

Hmm, he can use sql statement to play with sql server but don't know how to use it in .net
