Establish log dhipping db in sql2005

Hi all
I have db on my log shipping server as standby\readonly and my transaction log
was out of sync, I would like to make full bak from the source server and
restore
on log shipping server but when I right click the db in sql manager studio
the RESTORE database option DIM out. I can do this with sql 2000 to
reestablish
db when my transaction log was out of sync but look like I can't do this
with sql 2005. Have i missed any thing here?
Please help
Thanks in advanced
frank
Personally I have not played yet with it on SQL Server 2005 , but can you
issue BACKUP/RESTORE in the query builder instead of SSMS?

Escaping international (unicode) characters in string

Y'all:

I am needing some way, in the SQL Server dialect of SQL, to escape unicode
code points that are embedded within an nvarchar string in a SQL script,
e.g. in Java I can do:

String str = "This is a\u1245 test.";

in Oracle's SQL dialect, it appears that I can accomplish the same thing:

INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (TEST_COLUMN) VALUES ('This is a\1245 test.");

I've googled and researched through the MSDN, and haven't discovered a
similar construct in SQL Server. I am already aware of the UNISTR()
function, and the NCHAR() function, but those aren't going to work well if
there are more than a few international characters embedded within a
string.

Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Thanks muchly!
GRB

SELECT @.str = 'This is a' + nchar(1245) + ' test'

Note here that 1245 is decimal. If you want to use hex code (which you
normally do with Unicode), you would do:

SELECT @.str = 'This is a' + nchar(0x1245) + ' test'

When there are more than one or two non-US-ASCII characters in the string,
this quickly becomes impractically unwieldy, thus my comment in my original
posting:

Thanks anyway, though. :-)

If the are in sequence, you could do:

convert(nvarchar, 0x34123512...)

although this is certainly not too funny as you have twitch the bytes
around.

Another solution to use something like Microsoft Visual Keyboard, and
simply put the actual characters there.
