I am very inexperienced with the Administration side of SQL Server 2005.
I have been given a .bak file which I need to restore onto my SQL Server. The database .bak file was created on another PC and I cannot seem to restore/recover the .bak file onto my SQL Server.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks!!
Hi,
Had a little research on the previous postings on this issue to attach Adventureworks, but could not fix my one! Need help. Here is my situation:
1. Tried to follow the article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms310325.aspx, with no luck.
Get this error message

Could not open new database 'AdventureWorks'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Msg 602, Level 21, State 50, Line 1
Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 11, object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes."
a. Ran the DBCC CheckTable on SysIndexes, but same result
2. Also tried to attach a new database from the Management Studio, but get the same error.
3. I have installed AdventureWorksDB.msi downloading from MS site and .mdf and .ldf files are in the right path as article on step 1 says.
Can anyone please suggest me what am I doing worng?
Looking forward for help!!
Thanks,

Is there a difference between MS SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
I have installed a sample from the web and put it in my localhost inetpub folder, then i open up my SQL Server 2005 Express to attach the database from the App_Data directory, it throws an error below:
errors occur in both window and sql authentication login.
Error:
Attach database failed for Server '...SQLEXPRESS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
Additional Information An exception occcured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)
Directory lookup for the file "C:Documents and SettingsmirtariqMy DocumentsWorksStarterKitVSI smallbusiness_csApp_DataSmallCompanyDB_log.LDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).(Microsoft SQL Server, Error:5133)
I m facing a strange phenomenon.
Please refer to below points.
environment:
------------------
windows XP sp2
SQL Server 2005 express [log on as 'network service'(by default)]
programming language: VC++(MFC)
There is a sample database in .mdf format which to be attached to SQL Server.
Ist case:
------------
I add MASTERDSN (for master databse) to ODBC by calling API SQLConfigDataSource() and then attach the sample DB to SQL Server by calling stored procedure 'sp_attach_db' through VC++ code.
On verification from SQL Server management studio express, the DB attached is in read only mode.
II case:
----------
I add MASTERDSN using ODBC data source administrator manually.
Now I add MASTERDSN (again with same name) by calling API SQLConfigDataSource() and then attach the DB to SQL Server by calling stored procedure 'sp_attach_db' through VC++ code.
Now on verification, the DB attached is not in read-only mode.
The problem is that why there is difference in behavior in both cases?
I want to get the sample DB attached in read-write mode in Ist case.
Hopefully waiting for ur response.
Thanks & Regards
Now that everyone helped me install SQL Server, it's time to use it... then...
I'm trying to work my through the MS Press book ADO.Net Step by Step. After installing the practice files, there is a step to attach the sample database provided. Within the folder which contains the sample files, I'm told to execute an app which I believe was called "Config.exe". This app brings up a form with 3 text-boxes, to collect the Server Name, Database Name, as well as the Database MDF Filename. There are also 2 buttons, "Attach" and "Detach".
This book assumes, that SQL Server Express is installed. In the book, the author does mention that if this isn't the case, to adjust the Server Name as necessary.
(The following do not include the quotes, but you probably already knew that...)
In the form mentioned above, the default Server Name is "(local)SQLEXPRESS",
I changed this to "(local)MSSQLSERVER".
The next text-box for Database Name contains: "AdoStepbyStep"
The last text-box for Database MDF Filename contains: "c:ADO.NET 2.0 SBSSampleDBsAdoStepbyStep_Data.MDF"
The path/spelling of the text in the above is indeed correct. Clicking the "Attach" button, results in the following:
--- ERROR ---
Function: AttachDB
Description: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBMSLPCN]InvalidConnection.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBMSLPCN]ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).
I've never used SQL Server, so please any advice needs to be at a relatively elementary level. I've primarily been a mainframe programmer, so this is new to me.
Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxx in advance for any replies!!!
Hi. I would like to if its possible to take a Express ".mdf" file and attach it to a full blown SQL Server 2005?, to "attach" it to a real SQL Server 2005?.

Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?

Is it possible to attach sdf file (SQL Server Compact Edition Database File) to sql server 2005 ent. edition?
Thanks in advance.
We are testing our product installation and run into the following problem on Windows XP and Server 2003, but not 2000:
I am trying to attach a database using a command line program that we made, but get the following error:
Could not open new database 'Launcher5'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
File activation failure. The physical file name "C:MARCMARC5DataLauncher5_log.LDF" may be incorrect.
The log cannot be rebuilt when the primary file is read-only.
My dog ate my sql2000 installation disk! After a recent xp installation I remembered that.
Now I'm in a hurry to get up and running with SQL again. I've installed SQL server 2005 express, but I can't attach any databases, or really do anything for that matter. I have a copy of SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition but that won't install on my development machine, Xp Sp2. Which way should I go, install SQL 2005 enterprise on a Win 2003 server or can I download something to administer the express version?
As always thanks for any and all replies!

I'm trying to see the differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach. I backup and detach a database from SQL Server 2000 SP3 and then attach and restore it to SQL Server 2005 SP1.
The differences I noticed are:
1. The restored database has a much larger initial size (database size is same) for data and log.
2. The attached database has a last backup date
3. If the backup is restored over a database, the restored database is showing owned by the database owner of the database restored over but syslogins and sysusers do not match.
I don't understand why #1 happens.
Are there any other differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach?
Thanks,
Peter
I have a 2005 Express DB I wish to attach to using the 2005 Mgt Studio Client (Not the express version, but the full blown 2005 Mgt Studio Client from the SQL 2005 Standard Edition Install disk). Can this be done, or can I only use the 2005 Mgt Studio Express Edition Client?
Thanks in advance.
