An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:WebApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
My web.config file, the connection strings
<connectionStrings>
<add name="POAdatabaseConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=sss;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=POAdatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=SSPI" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
I cann't really find the statement for attaching aspnetdb.mdf. I don't where to find it. Is there any other web.config file in the C drive? Thanks for help!
I know the chances of getting a positive answer on this are remote but here goes:
I have a db that I need to move to a new server (that isnt on the same network !)
Firstly tried, backing up the DB, copying the backup to various removable media, copied it onto the new server, then tried restoring. The restore almost completes, then comes up that backup is incomplete !
If I restore the DB on the original server from the same backup file it works fine !
Second method, detached the DB, copied the mdf file to a memory stick, copied onto the new server, attempted to attach the mdf file and get:
I/O error (bad page ID) detected during read at offset 0x00000003f80000 in file ..........mdf
Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 2
If I re-attach the file on the original server this works !!!
My next step will be to get the two servers connected over the network, so that I can use DTS, but this is not ideal and would like to avoid this if possible.
If anybody has any suggestions, I would be eternally grateful.
p.s. I have tried restoring/attaching on other servers in case it was a problem with the new server, but get the same problems.

please tell me how to attach my database, I really need the data..
thx..
I am trying to attach a database to SQLEXPRESS. I get an error, [Directory Lookup for the file C: . . . DataORION.mdf" failed with the operating system error 5(Access is denied.)]
I tried to attach another database and got the same error. I have attached databases to SQLEXPRESS before successfully. I tried to attach using single file to no avail.
I am using the query, "sp_attach_db @dbname=N'ORION', @filename1=N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataORION.MDF'
go"
ORION.mdf is in the Data folder for SQLEXPRESS
What am I doing wrong or what did I change inadvertently to restrict my access to the file?

Hi
I Have just detached my SQL Server database, I am currently running SQL Server 2005, when I try to reattach it I get the error Cannnot open user default database - Login Failed
Any ideas.

Hi,
SQL Server 2005
When I try to attach a SDE data.mdf I get.
SQL Server detected a logical consistency-based I/O error: incorrect pageid (expected 1:3067392; actual 0:0). It occurred during a read of page (1:3067392) in database ID 10 at offset 0x000005d9c00000 in file 'E:ODYSSEUS SDE DataMSSQL.1MSSQLData.mdf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log or system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online. Could not open new database 'sde'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 824)
Is there anyway to fix this DB so it can be attached.
Thanks for your thoughts & comments...
I have done this many times in the past but now I am seeing a error when I try to move my db from my local machine to the server and try to re attach it. The error I am receiving is:

When I right click the files and check their permissions I am noticing when its moved to the server it adds a few new ones and I can't make changes to them or anyting else. That is the only difference I am seeing from the ones I did earlier this week and now with the ones that are not working. I can't find anything in sql on what might cause this so any direction would be great.

We have a log shipping database running on SQL 2000 ENT SP4, the secondary DB is in standby/read only mode . we have a job that runs every day to take it offline, make a copy of the files and attach them as a new database for reporting purposes.
We're planning to upgrade to SQL 2005 however, when we copy the Standby/read only database files and attach using "CREATE DAABASE FOR ATTACH" we get :
msg 1284
Cannot attach a database that was being restored.
this works in SQL 2000 but not SQL 2005, is there a way to force attach the DB ?
Thanks.
Hi Guys,This is my first post and I hope I'm not going to embarrass myself to much.I am currently writing a pseudo install package for SQL Server Express, it is written in VB.Net 2.0.
I have created an *.exe that fires the SQL Server Express install package silently with command line options, once complete the *.exe copies an *.MDF and an *.LDF to the newly created data directory. Once the data has been copied I fire a "CREATE DATABASE FOR ATTACH" using a SQLClient.SQLCommand to attach my DB. I am using Windows Authentication for SQL Server Express.This all works beautifully when the *.exe is being run from a local hard disk - complete success.When I move the *.exe to a CD it fails . SQL Server is installed correctly, the files are copied to the local hard disk in the correct location. I then fire the "CREATE DATABASE" command - its here I get the error.The error details are:Unable to open the physical file "c:....Exchange.LDF". Operating System error 5:"5(error not found)". Cannot create file "c:....Exchnage.ldf" because it already exists. Change the file path or file name, and retry the operation. Could not open new database 'Exchange'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. File activation failure. The physical file name "c:....Exchange.LDF" may be incorrect.Remember this works perfectly when run from the local hard disk, this only occurs when running from a CD-ROM.Now from the research I have done I believe it may be a permissions error. The setup *.exe is being run from a Administrator account and the SQL Server DB Engine Service Account is System. I'm under the impression that this should provide more than enough permissions.
Thanks for any help you guys may be able to provide...

Hello.
Our GIS group is working with SQL Server 2005 in conjunction with ESRI's ArcGIS software. SQL Server is being used as a test bed until we formally migrate our existing Microsoft Access mdb's over. So, at this time we are conducting various tests and have the freedom to "blow up" our databases.
We are currently testing ArcSDE Workgroup edition, which will only work with SQL Server Express (SSE). SSE will let us create spatial joins and relationships, while maintaining data integrity. So one possible workaround was to detach the database from SQL Server 2005 and then attach it to SSE. Unfortunately, we ran into a problem in re-attaching the database back to SQL Server 2005.
The exact steps are as follows:
Back up database using back up tool in SQL Server 2005.
Detached database from SQL Server 2005.
Attached database to SQL Server Express (hereafter SSE).
Created a table in database while it was attached to SSE.
Detached database from SSE.
Attempt to attach database to SQL Server 2005 failed
Successfully restored database in SQL Server 2005 using Restore tool.
Step number 6 above failed and generated the following error:

Questions:
Why did I get this error?
Can incorrect or missing permission or ownership settings generate this kind of error?
When should one detach/attach a database?
I welcome your assistance and suggestions.
tried to attach a database in sse-ms, and for some reason the database name is changing to G:someFoldersomeFolderdb.mdf, even tho i dont have a drive g:,
during "attach as" screens inside sse-ms, , ie attach>add> then select the database the mdf loction is what it is suppose to be ie C:inetpubwwwrootapp_datachp11wroxunited.mdf but the database name in the same screen shot is G:someOtherFolderAndPathwroxunited.mdf and the attach as is also the G:someOtherFolderAndPathwroxunited.mdf.
pretty confused, could use a clue, thanks
Hi,
I've just created my first projects using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005 Express. This is the basic;
One windows service is created that updates a database. The windows service running under "Local system" account
One windows application where a user can see data (and change) from the database
A common business and dataaccess layer/project is used by both applications
Connection string to the database: "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DataDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=60;User Instance=True"
Both application is located in the same directory. When the computer starts the windows service starts and works perfectly. But when a user starts the windows applications the following error is reported "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file..A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share".
It look likes that only one of my application can connect to the database at a time!
Is it possible to use separate applications to connect to the same database file?

Hello,
I have seen some solutions of which I tried on this form for the error I am receiving, but I still cannot get the issue resolved.
Here is my case:
I developed an app using SQL Express as the local data source. I published it to my server using the Once Click install feature. When I look in my project viewer, under settings, My db connection strings are listed as follows: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TAP_Master.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
From another computer, I navigate to the publish site, install and run the application with no problems. I have on another computer, the same app with an updated version number that I wish to publish, however the difference is is that this published version does not include the database as I do not want the end user to overwrite any existing data that they may have from the previous version.
I publish the updated version, install it but when the app runs, I receive the message, "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file".
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I had few databases developed in SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. I have detached all the databases and stopped developing anything new other than taking reqular backup of detached .mdf and .ldf files. I installed Vista on the other Hard drive that corrupted my XP installation drive letters so I had to reinstall XP OS. I have reinstalled SQL 2005 Dev edition. Now I am trying to attach the database it is giving error of Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)". I tried to copy those .mdf and .Ldf files through windows explorer and it is not letting me copy past in the other place. I am getting Access denied from OS. I have about 5 databases and only one has this problem.
What is going on and how do I solve this? Is the OS has locked the file? My home computer is not in a domain. I tried to right click the file to see if I can set access permission on the file. There is no such security options. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay
I've installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional evaluation edition on both my desktop & on the server to try out the Debugger to be used with my Stored procedures
I got this error message every time i try to 'Step into Stored Procedure' from my desktop to connect to the stored procedure which resides on the Server.
Error message: Unable to Start T-SQL Debugging. Could not attach to SQL Server Process on 'Server1'.The RPC server is unavailable
The 'Step into Stored Procedure' works though if I open the stored procedure directly on the server.
Both my PC and Server has been installed with Remote Debugger and my windows login has been assigned permission to debug on the debugger that resides on the Server and has sysadmin server role on SQL 2005 both on PC and Server.
Can someone tell me what i miss out to debug Stored procedure in the SQL Server 2005 on the Server from my PC?
Thanks in advance.
I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
Any way I can recover it?
Thanks.

I did a sp_detach_db of a database, then deleted the log file because it was too big. Now, when I try to sp_attach_db, or even sp_attach_single_file_db, it will not re-create the db.
When I tried to attach a database from Enterprise manager, I got "error 3624, location: scanrid.cpp:321 Expression: m_len != 0 spid 51 proseccid 436......" The files are all there, but it seems there are problems of activating files, or the files are crashed. Any one got idea? Actually, we just need one table in that database. Is there any way to save a table from mdf file or ndf file? Or repair files?

I've created a database inside my ASP.net project, the database is in the App_Data folder as exepcted.I can't run the aspnet_regsql until I have attached it using SQL Server Management Studio, but when I try to attach the database it doesn't let me navigate through my folders properly. The database is in C:UsersWardieDocumentsFirstProjectApp_Data but SQL SMS only lets me navigate to the folder C:UsersWardie and no further for some reason, meaning I can't attach the database and can't use the aspnet_regsql service to create the membership tables.Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have copied the .mdf and .ldf files from one db and I'd like to attach the copies to a new db on the same server. When I try to attach the copied files I get the error, "the physical file name may be incorrect". Original db filename is "MC_DISC_Data.mdf", I copied this and renamed it to, "MC_Data.mdf" in my sqldata folder. I can see the physical file name is still the original name when I'm trying to attach db using EM, how can I change it to the copied name?
