Need to copy a database in the same server without using backup re

Hi,
I need to copy a database 'management' in the same server and name it as management_mid. Is there any command or script to copy the database without
using the backup restore operation? Thanks in advance.Use a DTS package.

and location. You can also try sp_attach_db.

Use this below list of commands, But it require a minutes down time for
actual database.
sp_detach_db management
go
copy the MDF and LDF file for management database to a different folder
go
-- attach the original database management
sp_attach_db
'management','physical_mdf_file_with_path','plysical_ldf_with_path'
go
--attach the new database
sp_attach_db
'management_mid','physical_mdf_file_with_path','plysical_ldf_with_path'
Note:
DTS/BCP are also possible , but will take long time. It requires some manual
tasks as well.
