Alter Database File Extension
May 14, 2008
Hi,
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'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

We are running into the following error while changing a column data type from nvarchar (1200) to varchar(8000)
"Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2, Line 1
Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.TBL1 '.'PK_CL_ID' in database 'Client01' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.
The statement has been terminated."
Now tried to change the filegrowth of the log file to unlimited
ALTER DATABASE Client01
MODIFY FILE ( NAME = Client01_log, MAXSIZE = unlimited);
The query executes without error but I do not see the auto growth as unrestricted. It's still 2GB

I can run this command to make changes for 1 DB USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'Name_log', FILEGROWTH = 10000KB )
GO
Is it possible to create a script which changes log file size to let's say 100MB for all DBs in all servers instead of running the above command by logging into each server? We have about 200 servers and close to 3000 DBs.

I checked quickly one network  and I ran into the folders; I found out the folder MSSQL backup, nothing strange so far. Within that folder, anyway, I found out several backup and one very huge file (datawarehouse) with extension FILE. I am wondering what can be? I got datawarehouse mdf of course and datawarehouse log but what is that huge file (1 TB)?

I was told by my website provider that they do not support the .mdf extension and only support the mdb extension. What am I not getting here? I am using SQL Server Express 2005. Is .mdf a subset of .mdb?

Hello there!
I am in need of urgent help. i do believe that when you used the command SPOOL filename without specifying an extension name, it automatically puts an .lst extension name. Can you help me identify if there is any way i can generate a file without an extension name? I am in need of help right now. I hope someone will answer my post as soon as possible. I really really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Jen

I set up a basic ForEach enumerator loop and specified files of type *.sql.
In the directory, I had some files I needed to keep but didn't want the package to touch, so I changed the extension to *.sqlo. Much to my dismay, the ForEach loop picked up those files. (Though it did skip the *.xml and *.bat and a few other types...)
Sounds like a bug to me.

I programmed a Source extension, that accesss a text file. In my code I have the following code to open a file:
protected override void reader(PipelineBuffer buffer)
{
TextReader reader = File.OpenText(_filename);
The komponnet works well. How do I grant permissions to access this text file? Because I got problems when I try to run my package using a task created in the SQL Server Agent.

I have just begun to try out differential backups. Almost every reference I found on the internet said to use a .dif file extension. Books Online "Back Up Database Task (Maintenance Plan) MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/uirfsql9/html/ed1ef012-fa14-4ba5-bafe-d1527ba065b3.htm only says :
Backup file extension Specify the extension to use for the backup files. The default is .bak.
                                                                                                                                  Â
Using .dif for the differential shows "Microsoft Office Excel Data Interchange Format" as the type when looking at the backup folder. URL... indicates that .dif has 11 different uses, including "Difference data file." In a couple of posts in this forum in April and May of this year David Dye said that the file extension for differential backups is .bak, the same as for the full backup.
Â
If this is the case, this would cause a problem with our maintenance plan policy which is to retain the two most recent backup files on the server. If we do a full backup for the base on the weekend and differential backups the rest of the week, our full backup would have to be restored from out tape system before we could do a restore. Recoveries are pretty rare, but when we get that panicked phone call that someone accidently deleted all the records of a major client, time is of the essence in getting that point in time restore done.

Hello,
I try to add an data extension who take the information to connect to the database in a config file. But It's could not retreive the values corresponding to the key.
I'm using the class ConfigurationManager from the namespace System.Configuration.
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["QueryModel"]
Without the config file, the extension is working well.... I got the impression that reporting service and Visual Studio BI don't find the config file.
If someone can help me or have some advices. I will be pleased

When I am saving a SSRS report in excel format in a shared network drive, how can I add the date extension to the filename ?I assume this is something that needs to be handled within the SSRS reporting side rather than the subscription side.

hello ... I am trying to copy 1 field from a table in database called DB1 to a same table in DB2 .. I am not sure if this is possible. I found out form www3.schools.com it's doable using Select Into ... but it uses MS Access for example (Northwind.mdb) ... I wonder what's the extension database in MS SQL? Does anyone know where can we check the query syntax on the web? Can anyone tell me it's correct? I dun have MS SQL from home .. so :(
======copy prodID from DB1 to DB2 table called production1 (both DB1 and DB2)=======
// this is done in SQL QUERY ANALYZER under DB1?
SELECT production1.prodID INTO production1 IN DB2 FROM DB1
=====create VIEW in DB2=======
// this has to be done in DB1 ... if I have multiple databases, is there anyway to do it using something like SELECT INTO to create view in differences databases?
CREATE VIEW production_id AS SELECT prodID from DB1

Using SSRS 2008R2 is it possible to change the file extension of a CSV data driven subscription? Â I'm outputting a text file with a .csv extension, but users have access to these files and I don;t want them opened with Excel and then saved back in an incorrect format.Â
These are the options I have from the report "manage" option. Â

I have implemented a package to load multiple files to a destination. Since the source was a txt file, i have created as flat file source. However now we are getting files in excel format as well.
Is there anyway the source gets changed dynamically based on the file extension, output of the foreach file enumerator? I can think one solution to have 2 dataflow tasks based on precedence constraining and expression one is for .txt and other one is for .xls.

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J

Good Morning..
We're having a heck of a good time trying to implement our first CDE project in SSRS 2005.
In our SDE class library we have included an App.Config file where we want to store configuration settings..
Trouble is that when we view the configuration settings or connection string settings in debug mode, they're not being read for some reason..
Here's our app.config file:
-------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
</configSections>
<appSettings>
<add key="eventLogName" value="FocusDPEEventLog" />
</appSettings>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="PassConnString" connectionString="Data Source=SOMEDATASOURSE;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=SOMEUSERNAME;Password=SOMEPASSWORD;Unicode=True"
providerName="System.Data.OracleClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what our Immediate window Debugger is tellin' us about our configuration settings:
-------------------------------------------------------------
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings
{System.Configuration.KeyValueInternalCollection}
[System.Configuration.KeyValueInternalCollection]: {System.Configuration.KeyValueInternalCollection}
base {System.Collections.Specialized.NameObjectCollectionBase}: {System.Configuration.KeyValueInternalCollection}
AllKeys: {Dimensions:[0]}<----incorrect should be 1
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings
Count = 1 <----ok, is one, but the wrong 1, see 3 lines down...
base {System.Configuration.ConfigurationElementCollection}: Count = 1
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0]
{data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true}<--Should be PassConnString
base {System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement}: {data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true}
ConnectionString: "data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true"
Name: "LocalSqlServer"
ProviderName: "System.Data.SqlClient"
Now notice the stuff in bold...I have NO IDEA where this gosh-danged thing is reading, but it doesn't seem like it's the app.config file in our class library...
thanks..
Doug

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 have the next question, and i would like to hear what do you thinkabout, and if is there a better solution for "my problem"here is the question, I have a huge table with 60GB of data (imagefiles). The problem happen always when i try to ALTER the structure ofthe table. For example I change a field char(3) to char(4)...thesqlserver then performs the "alter table" command...that must besomething similar than "insert into the new table + drop the actualtable" and for that I need about 60GB o space for my LOG file, andtakes hours to complete the operation.Is this the only way to alter a single field in my table??I would like to heard you opinions...Thanks..ALberto
