You can add an existing content dB to an
existing site collection
Once this activity is done, SharePoint
creates the Url buy default and you can just navigate to the Url and check if
the content dB has all the data and verify is this was successfully done.
Adding content dB to site collection:
1) Go
to central Administration
2) Application
Management
3) Databases à Manage
content database à Add a content database
4) Check
Database server name(this would populate automatically, just verify)
5) And
give Database name – this would also populate or have a name by default BUT we
need to CHANGE this
the Database name has to be a name of an
existing DB which you want to add to the site collection.
You really don’t have to worry about all
the other default options
6) Select
Windows Authentication if not selected.
7) No
other changes.
8) OK
9) It
will show the database in Add a content database screen.
Check Point
1) Go to Central Admin à Application
Management.
2) Site Collections à View all
site collections
3) This will take you to a screen where
you can see the Url of your site collection corresponding to the DB that you
attached to the site collection.
Make sure you select the correct Url of
your site collection
4) Click on the Url to see other details
5) Browse the url/_layouts/settings.aspx
to see the data in the DB.
In my case it is à http://myserver01:9999/sites/Team/_layouts/settings.aspx
