I have Test database with Log file property Automatically grow the file, option Unrestricted file growth, I wanted to alter it with Restrict file growth upto 200 MB. I'm getting an error that you cannot modify as file doesnot exist
But the file does exist. I cannot figure out what is giving the problem.
below is the sql statements
select name from sysfiles
go
Test_Data
Test_Log
USE master
go
ALTER DATABASE Test MODIFY FILE
( NAME='Test_Log',
MAXSIZE=200MB )
go
ERROR

MODIFY FILE failed. File 'Test_Log' does not exist.
I am administering several SQL Servers running SQL Server 2005 SP2 Build 3042. I have a common maintenance plan that runs on each of the servers. The maintenance plan runs fine on all the servers except for one. On the one server the Database Integrity check fails with the following error:
Check Database integrity on Local server connection Databases: <list of databases> Include indexes Task start: 2008-02-21T00:05:42. Task end: 2008-02-21T00:05:46. Failed0) Alter failed for Server €˜XYZ€™
I created a test maintenance plan to just do the integrity check and selected one database only and this also failed with the same error message. I ran this test maintenance plan and configured it for each of the databases in question and it failed each time. If I run the DBCC manually against the databases they all report fine.
I read some of the post that talked about the €œAllow Updates€? being set incorrectly but that does not apply to my problem since my configured and run values are set to 0.
I have a script that automates some db drop/restore operations and bringing the database to single user mode is part of it: ALTER DATABASE ... SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE...I want this to executes under a login, that has restricted privileges, so I've created a login and granted it a dbcreator role + ALTER ANY DATABASE privileges.
Problem: When I run the script against a database with an active/sleeping connection:It fails when using the restricted login: "Msg 5061...ALTER DATA BASE failed because a lock could not be placed on database ..."It completes successfully when using a sysadmin login According to stackoverflow.com the solution is to kill the active/sleeping connections to the database, before ALTER-ing it, which works fine, but the question is....
Questions: Why the "ALTER DATABASE..." statement works under the sysadmin login, but not under a dbcreator one?Does this mean the sysadmin login kills the connections to the target database in the background?Is it possible to grant additional privileges to the restricted login, so the "ALTER DATABASE..." statement won't need preventive killing of the connections?
I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (64-bit) and then applied SQL SP2. When I launch the "SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration" and choose "Surface Area Configuration for Features" I'm trying to enable xp_cmdshell.
After ticking the checkbox, and clicking Apply, I receive the error below. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi I’m trying to alter a table and delete a column I get the following error. The object 'DF__Morningst__LastU__19EB91BA' is dependent on column 'LastUpdated'. ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN LastUpdated failed because one or more objects access this column. I tried deleting the concerned constraint. But the next time I get the same error with a different constraint name. I want to find out if I can dynamically check the constraint name and delete it and then drop the column. Can anyone help.IF EXISTS(SELECT 1FROM sysobjects,syscolumnsWHERE sysobjects.id = syscolumns.idAND sysobjects.name = TablenameAND syscolumns.name = column name)BEGIN EXECUTE ('ALTER TABLE tablename DROP CONSTRAINT DF__SecurityM__DsegL__08C105B8')EXECUTE ('ALTER TABLE tablenameDrop column columnname)ENDGO
I want a database user to be able to alter login, database user and database role from my application. so, i assigned that user to sccurityadmin server role, db_accessadmin and db_securityadmin database roles....By now, the user can add or remove login and database user. However, the user cannot add or remove any database role membership. What am I missing here?? What should I do so that the user can create, and alter database roles in the database??
Hi people,I?m trying to alter a integer field to a decimal(12,4) field in MSACCESS 2K.Example:table : item_nota_fiscal_forn_setor_publicofield : qtd_mercadoria integer NOT NULLALTER TABLE item_nota_fiscal_forn_setor_publicoALTER COLUMN qtd_mercadoria decimal(12,4) NOT NULLBut, It doesn't work. A sintax error rises.I need to change that field in a Visual Basic aplication, dinamically.How can I do it? How can I create a decimal(12,4) field via script in MSACCESS?Thanks,Euler Almeida--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com
Hi all this is my first of most likely many posts. I am writting a stored proc that will be used on many diffrent named databases and i am setting the database name with a variable. I would like to use this variable in the following situation any clues on this would be greatly appreciated.
DECLARE @DBName varchar(50) SET @DBName='Database' alter database @DBName set recovery full
I am trying to give a user permission to change the name of a database.
They are a member of the server role 'secuirtyadmin' They are a member of the database role 'db_owner' They have been granted ALTER permission on the database.
But every time I try and run the command
ALTER DATABASE <dbname> MODIFY NAME = <newdbname>
I get an error saying the database doesn't exist or you don't have permissions.
I got the following error Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 4 I/O error 33(The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.) detected during write at offset 0x0000000a796000 in file xxxxxxxxx.ndf'.
and the respective database could not be brought online - this was just due to a problem with a .ndf file containing only indexes...is there any way to connect to/alter a database while it is in this transitional state? (it would be no loss if i could just remove the file & its filegroup)
I have a *.sql script that creates database tables, and I need to modify the database to enable the service broker. In addition, the actual name of the database is not known in advance - it is set per instance of the application.
I know I need to do:
ALTER DATABASE dbname SET ENABLE_BROKER
But I must avoid including the name of the database in the script. I did wonder if this would work:
DECLARE @DB varchar(50)
SELECT @DB = DB_NAME()
ALTER DATABASE @DB SET ENABLE_BROKER
But I just get a syntax error. Presumably this also rules out setting the database name as a parameter to the script (SqlParameter stuff)
The only option I can think of is dynamically creating the statement, either in T-SQL or in the calling .NET environment.
I've read that when this run's, it removes all db mirroring information on that db. What exactly does it remove?
Here's my senario:
We are using SQL 2005€™s db mirroring process. We are using the certificate method of authentication between the principle and the mirror db€™s.
My question is that when the ALTER DATABASE dbname SET PARTNER OFF is run, does it remove these certificate settings as well? In other words when I want to enable the db mirroring, will I need to recreate these certificates or just recreate the endpoints to use these certificates?
Conrad writes "I'm currently working on Table Partitioning. I have done everything succesfull for partitioning, what I'm struggling with is to use " SELECT MAX(NAME) from sys.filegroups WHERE NAME NOT LIKE 'PRIMARY' " to get the last used FileGroup. Now this works just fine, but when I run the following script: --Decalre variables DECLARE @LastFilegroupName VARCHAR(50) DECLARE @FilegroupName VARCHAR(50)
--Retuns the next FileGroup to be used SET @LastFilegroupName = (select MAX(NAME) from sys.filegroups WHERE NAME NOT LIKE 'PRIMARY') SET @LastFilegroupName = Replace(@LastFilegroupName,'FileGrp','') SET @FilegroupName = 'FileGrp' + CAST((@LastFilegroupName + 1) as varchar(10))
--Alter database statement ALTER DATABASE VadivelTesting ADD FILEGROUP @NewFG_Name
This script gives the following error "Incorrect syntax near '@NewFG_Name'."
When I give it a static name it works fine, but not with the variable.
Please can someone help me, I'm in struggeling with this one."
We're upgrading to SQL Server 2005, and we've restored databases from SQL Server 2000 to the development server (SQL Server 2005). Part of what we need to do is alter the database collation to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS; our SQL Server 2000 server is case-sensitive.
My initial attempts to alter the database;
alter database RGDWDEV collate SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
failed because of the presence of computed columns and user functions. So, I wrote scripts to save the definitions of the computed columns and functions, and wrote scripts to drop them. Now that they are gone, I expected to be able to successfully execute the above 'alter database' statement, but I am now getting this error;
Msg 1505, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 CREATE UNIQUE INDEX terminated because a duplicate key was found for object name 'sys.sysschobjs' and index name 'nc1'. The duplicate key value is (0, 1, DISB_ADJ). Msg 5072, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 ALTER DATABASE failed. The default collation of database 'RGDWDEV' cannot be set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
I have created a stored procedure in msdb that will accept a database name and then rebuild non-clustered indexes in that database.
I placed the sp in msdb since msdb is where most job-related information is stored.
The sp identifies non-clustered indexes whose avg fragmentation exceeds a pre-determined threshold, and then runs the following statement for each index in the resulting subset:
SET @str_sql = 'ALTER INDEX ' + @str_index + ' ON ' + @str_object + ' REBUILD '
EXEC sp_executesql @str_sql
where @str_index is the name of the index and @str_object is the name of the object (view, table).
Clearly, I need to revise the statement so that it refers to the appropriate database.
Is there a way to execute 'alter index ... rebuild' so that it points to a database other than the current?
If I execute the command ALTER DATASE SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE and there are any connections to the database, the command fails with a "Lock request time out period exceeded." message. If I use SET RESTRICTED_USER, the command succeeds with the following message: "Nonqualified transactions are being rolled back. Estimated rollback completion: 100%." This seems to be a bug.
I'm very new to DB stuff. I've created a SQL Server CE database and I'm trying to implement a query notification using a SqlDependency object, as per the instructions at:
I've connected to my DB using SQL Server Management Studio Express, and I'm getting the following error when trying to execute an ALTER DATABASE command:
I have no clue what I could be doing wrong. Is this operation supported using CE? Is there really something wrong with my syntax?
Major Error 0x80040E14, Minor Error 25501

There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 7,Token in error = database ]
I'm trying to change the file extension of one of the database files of a big database that contains 10 years of EPOS data. When this file was created, at the beginning of 2008, with the following script:
USE [Live]
ALTER DATABASE [Live] ADD FILE (NAME = 'Live_2008',
FILENAME = €˜E:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataLive_2008') TO FILEGROUP [2008] the .ndf file extension was not added to the filename. So the file now has a file type of "File", instead of "SQL Server Secondary Data File" I tried, in a test environment, to bring the database offline, change the filename to "Live_2008.ndf" and bring the database back online, but it gives me an error message saying that "cannot open the Live_2008 file", i'm guessing because it's looking for "Live_2008" and it finds "Live_2008.ndf" instead. This file is quite big (5Gb) and I cannot afford to risk to lose any data. The situation is complicated even further by the fact that it seems that a partition for 2008 does not exist. How can I find out what data this file contains? Is it going to be an issue if I leave the file like that? Thanks
I am trying to execute the following query , in Management Studio. But it takes forever. Can someone tell me why is this happening? I am running the query in 'NorthWind' database.The windows account under which I am logged into WinXP (windows authentication is enabled for the SQL Server database) is the database owner for NorthWind database. alter database NorthWind SET ENABLE_BROKER
I'm attempting to alter a database by removing one of two log files. I have truncated both log files successfully and the database has no processes but I get an error stating file cannot be removed because it is not empty. Help
I do not have a backup of the model database and have had to rebuild SQL Server 2000 once already. All my databases except model and tempdb have the collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS those two have Latin1_General_CI_AS.
During SQL rebuild I've restored over master and msdb and they work fine. Only came across problem with stored procedure and I'm lost as to how to alter model without a backup of it.
Any easy way to change model collation? The command listed in subject fails as it is a system table.
Is it as simple as going into single user mode and trying that command again?
I am trying to replace object name in views , triggers, stored procs, UDF,TVF etc.I have created a automated script to replace 'dbo.Cust' with 'dbo.Customer' in all objects and generate script as ALTER Statements. some objects are still scripted out as Create. Reason is it has some extra space in between
CREATE TABLE #test1( [NAME] [nvarchar](128) NOT NULL, [DEFINITION] [nvarchar](max) NULL, [DEFINITION_bk] [nvarchar](max) NULL, [type] [char](2) NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
Im working on Partition purge process, where I need to specify following statement:
SET @cmd = 'ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION ' + @function_name + '() MERGE RANGE (@range)' EXEC (@cmd); SET @cmd1 = 'ALTER DATABASE '+ db_name()+ ' REMOVE FILE ' + @partition_file EXEC (cmd1);
I want to put this statement in Begin Tran /Commit statement but getting error that it is not allowed. "ALTER DATABASE statement not allowed within multi-statement transaction"..what are my options to rollback in case there is a failure.Â
I am considering the use of ALTER DATABASE ... SET NEW_BROKER within an existing Service Broker instance. The reason is that I have about 23 million old endpoints in Service Broker that I am unable to clean up using the standard END CONVERSATION loops that have been discussed on these forums previously. It's a busy database, and it just cannot do the job within a reasonable timeframe.
There are no critical conversations to be lost, becuse the majority of the old endpoints deal with ASP.NET SQL caching, so they are disposable.
I have read that using the ALTER DATABASE command will delete all past endpoints, but I haven't seen much in the way of the retention of the existing message framework.
If I execute ALTER DATABASE ... SET NEW_BROKER, will it retain everything I have setup, including security, message types, contracts, services, queues, etc.? Is there anything, other than the old conversations and endpoints, that is deleted?
Recently I created a DDL Server-scope trigger using the following:
create trigger stop_alter_database on all server for ALTER_DATABASE as rollback; print 'database change stopped by stop_alter_database'; go
Then I ran the following script:
alter database [test] modify file (name=test', maxsize=2028mb);
The result was:
Msg 3609, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
database change stopped by stop_alter_database
The problem is that when I checked the max size of the data file it had changed. So, the statement was never rolled back. Is there something I'm missing because I can't find any documentation or articles that state the inability to rollback alter database statements. Whats going on?
I'm attempting to move my database from one server to the other using attach/detach method. I'm able to reattach everything just fine on the new server but I get the following error when trying to receive messages.
"Service Broker login attempt failed with error. Connection handshake failed. Error 15581 occurred while initializing the private key corresponding to the certificate....." " Please create a master key in the database or open the master key in the session...."
I have a master key in the master database so I attempted the following:
open master key decryption by password = 'pwd'
alter master key add encryption by service master key
and I receive the following error on the alter master key command:
"An error occurred during decryption"
Any suggestions on how to recover the database to use the same database key? Do I need to regenerate the key?
