I attached my database to SQL 2005 but it's showing up as read-only for some reason. I've attached this before just fine in another instance of the Vista OS. Why would it attach differently this time compared to all other times and show read only?
The .mdb and .ldf files are not read only if you right-click and check out their properties.
I used Query Analyser to De-tach a SQL 7 database and that worked fine. The database became 'invisible' in Enterprise Manager and the entry was removed from the sysdatabases in Master. The mdf and ldf file remain in the file system. However, when I ran the sp to Attach the database QA said successful but it does not show in Enterprise Manager or in sysdatabases in Master. I'm going to run through the procedure again and if problems I'll check the logs but has anyone else had difficulty with this. Also with attaching the db to a SQL2000 install I believe the logins on the SQL7 install are not brought over. In my case, the client is using trusted logins with their database application so their is probably not a lot to manually recreate on the SQL 2000 install but doees anyone have nay sample code/script that can give me an idea of what is required in the area of getting logins out of the Master of SQL7 and into SQL2000.
Great forum...
Have a great day,

Hi all (newbie @ asp.net)(oldie @ ASP 3)What is the purpose of using an attached MDF database files in the App_Data folder on a web site as to importing it into the SQL server directly or creating it on the SQL server. Does a mdf database attached file purely use the SQL server as a connection interface.Is it something similiar to DSN(ODBC) Connections for ms access databases.

I was trying to figure out how to back up a database that has been attached to the SQL Express instance. I found on the web this tutorial and tried to use it, however it seems like it cannot find the database. The DB is attached by the web application using AttachDbFilename in the connectionstring.

Any ideas?

Hello all,
I'm using SQL 2005 Express edition. I'm currently connecting to the database file directrly (from ASP.NET) and that db file is not attached to the server.
My question is this:
What is the difference ? Will the performance improve if the db is attached and I connect to it throught the server ? I'm really not sure what the difference is.
Thanks
Hey!
I need help getting all the users that are "attached" or "allowed" to access a given database and their login information. I do not know if this is even possible but I had tried to do my own research and cant figure it out/find any info on it. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Hi All
I am in process of moving a SQL 2005 solution from a development box that used local storage to UAT environment with SAN attached storage. The solution uses database snapshots
The database files are on the SAN storage but during testing I was unable to create a Database snapshot on the SAN disk. Creating snapshots on the local disk worked fine.
Is their some restriction/problem in using the database snapshot technology with SAN storage?
i attached adventure works in sql server 2008 and it showing as read only ,make it read write or remove read only tag from database.

I was using a SQL Express database for some time now with no problems for a NUnit Test project. No, all of a sudden, I'm getting these problems:
DatabaseProviderTest.TestContainsUser : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException : Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'XXXXXX'.
For the SQLEXPRESS database, I checked and I am a user, and I gave myself every permission imaginable. The default database is master, so I don't know why I am getting this problem?
Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi allI have a question concerning sql database mdf files. In the old days I would user a ms access database. This file would be stored with the actual web files and would utilise a dsn connection. I have noted when designing with vwd 2005 express it allows you to use 2 methods of creating a mdf database. You can either create it as an attachment mdf or you can create it directly using sql manager. My question is, if you create the mdf database as an attachement file can you store it in the same manner as if you where using a ms access database, meaning can you store it with the web site's files so it uses the file storage allocated size and then create a connection similar to a dsn (but for sql) to the isp's sql engine or does it have to be uploaded to the isp' s sql server.The reason for this question is some of my customers do not want to pay the extra cost to have an sql allocation, however I do not want to go back to using old asp methods to create advanced sites as I prefer using stored procedures. Any help will be appreciated

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am supposed to be documenting the SQL Express 2005 SP2 installation and connection to our application on Vista. I have installed and uninstalled the application several times in trying to create the connection and document the process. I thought I was done but now the database will not attach because it thinks the databasse is already attached. The database is not attached. I even uninstalled it again thinking something was left over.
Among the possibilities are that the database we are trying to attach is from SQL Server 2003 on a Server 2003. I tend not to think it is a server issue but have no reason to make that statement.
I tend to think it is a Vista issue because I have encountered and circumvented several. Our applications work fine on the full version of SQL. I can connect my Vista computer to the servers without issue. We have no Vista Servers other than the workstation I am trying to get SQL Express running on.
I am about out of ideas. Any suggestion will be tried at this point. Brian
Hello,
In my vb.net application, I have an attached database called dbMaster with the following tables:
tblCustomer, tblProducts, tblUsers
In visual studio 2005, is it possible to publish only one table? My problem is, is that I want to send my end users updated data from my tblCustomer, and am finding that on my test laptop, if I publish dbMaster, it sends all tables when I just want one to be sent.
Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to try repair a database without being attached, giving the path to the files?
I'm trying to attach a database that i recover from a disk, and i'm not able to attach, gives me an error, saying i should do a db check.
I have two database files, one .mdf and one .ndf. The creator of these files has marked them readonly. I want to "attach" these files to a new database, but cannot do so because they are read-only. I get this message:
Server: Msg 3415, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Database 'TestSprintLD2' is read-only or has read-only files and must be made writable before it can be upgraded.
What command(s) are needed to make these files read_write?
thanks

I downloaded the SR2 - major mistake Now I cannot get into the sample databases I have on my machine. I can attach to the Servers, but they have SR1 and now I guess if I would make changes from my SR2, then they will be screwed up.

i have a database which get refreshed every day from client's data . and we need to pull heavy data from them every day as reports . so only selects happens on that database.
we do daily population of some table in some other databases from this daily refreshed DB.
will read uncommitted or NOLOCK with select queries to retrieve data faster.
there will be no dirty read as there are NO DML operation in that database so for SELECT which happens concurrently on these tables , will NOLOCK work?
Hi I have an application that I have started to develop. I have successfully set the connection to open the SQL Server database that I created. When I first started on the program, I was able to create Table Adapters by dragging the tables or stored procedures onto the DataSet work surface and going through the configuration process. At one point, however, I stopped being able to see any of my stored procedures in the database view although they are there because when I go to create a new table adapter, I am able to right click and add the new adapter and find the stored procedure in the wizard.Is there any way I can reset this so that my stored procedures are visible again. I have tried refreshing to no avail - and I think this is creating problems in other parts of the application.Any help appreciate.Roger

I have a database available and it is in live production.
I want to show only three tables in the front end. asp.net application in dropdown menu. I checked the internet and found only query for seeing all the tables from the DB.
Does anyone know where I can get a digram showing the database schemas for all of the system database. I need to know the realtionship between tables in the system databases. Would like to download something from the internet preferably, or if someone has something they can e-mail?
