Creating Log File && Attaching Db?

Jul 7, 2004

Bit of a SQL newbie, having taken over a support role for a piece of software that my firm sells. It is basically a DB that runs on MSDE or SQL Server in either desktop or enterprise scenarios.

We do sell our software to clients who may or may not already have SQL on their machines. During installation, it searches for sqlservr.exe for existing SQL installations and if it finds nothing, will then install MSDE 1.0 to house the db files.

My question is this -

I can manually create a db or manually attach an existing db through sql query analyser where there is a full-blown SQL installation. Is there any way I can do the same where there is only MSDE installed? The simple solution, I guess, would be to download one of the freeware or shareware MSDE "Enterprise Managers", but this won't always be suitable for a client installation.

Many thanks for your assistance all.

:cool:

Hi there,
I'm trying to attach a DB using a single MDF file. The file was not properly detached as our server had crashed suddenly neither was the a proper backup done..When I try to attach it says

Error Attaching .mdf File...

Jan 7, 2008

Attemping to reattach a recovered .mdf and associated .ldf from a crashed disk drive and I am getting the error below. I attempted to create a new db, stop the service, replace the new data files with the recovered db files and restarted the SQL service so that I could run a dbcc checkdb while the db was in suspect mode, however was unable to do this. This error leads me to belive that the log file needs to be rebuild, but that the mdf files could be a decent shape. Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks!

Error Attaching .mdf File

Mar 6, 2008

I have a VBExpress 2008 application that uses LINQ to SQL to manipulate data in an SQLExpress 2005 database.

I successfully instatiate a DataContext object and examine its metadata through its .Mapping methods and properties. But when I attempt to set the DataSource for a BindingSource control to one of the tables, I get a run-time error.

Specifically:

Dim dc As New DiabetesData(My.Settings.DiabetesData_dbPath)

For Each mt As MetaTable In dc.Mapping.GetTables

...(examine some properties)...

Next

frmEZView.bsPrimary.DataSource = dc.GetTable(Of BGTest)()

generates the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was unhandled
Class=14
ErrorCode=-2146232060
LineNumber=65536
Message="An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file SbearMedicalDiabetesDiabetesData2.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."

From the Immediate window: ?My.Settings.DiabetesData_dbPath

"SbearMedicalDiabetesDiabetesData2.mdf"

bsPrimary is a BindingSource on a form named frmEZView.

Public Class DiabetesData includes a property Public BGTests As Table(Of BGTest) and a subsequent definition of BGTest.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Attaching A SQL Server 2000 DB W/out The Log File

Oct 31, 2001

How do I reattached a SQL server database if the log file was not backed up and none is available. Our server went belly up and the backups were only copying the *.MDF files. The log files were not being included in the backup for some reason.

I know in version 7.0 you could reattach with out the log file but I am having a more difficult time figuring out how to get around thin in SQL 2000. Anybody got any ideas???

To Rename A File By Attaching Date Stamp Using SSIS

Feb 26, 2008

Hi All,

I have a dataflow task that creates a text file and posts it in a FTP share.
In need to rename the file attaching datestamp(current date of package execution) at the end of filename.
For ex: My dataflowtask creates a file called 'Samplename.txt'

I need to rename it to : 'Samplename20080225.txt.

I think it can be done using the File task...I see an option to rename the file but not sure of how to configure the task to attach current datestamp.

I see some suggestions online, but complete steps on how to implement the above would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Attaching A Database

Apr 2, 2008

The situation :
I am making mass changes to my program and database.
The goal is to not make changes to the database at the customer sites, but to clone their current database, and work with that one.

The solution:
I wrote code and queries to detach the database, copy it to another directory on the same computer with a different name, then attach it with the new name.
The process is:
run : sp_detach_db "' + aDatabase + '", ''false'';' (aDatabase is the original database name)
Then, in code, delete the original .ldf file, and copy the database.mdf file to new directory with new name.
then run (for both the new and the original databases):

Create Database "' + aDatabase + '" on
(NAME = ''' + aDatabase + ''', FILENAME = ''' + FormatFilePath(aPath) + aDatabase + '.mdf''
For Attach

This works, up to a point.
The problem :
When I inspect the properties of the newly attached database, with the new name and new directory, the logical name of the database is still the original name.

I TRIED running this query :
sp_attach_single_file_db @dbName= "' + aDatabase + '",'
@physname= ''' + FormatFilePath(aPath) + aDatabase + '.mdf'

but it returns(even though I have deleted the .ldf files for the original dataset) :
Could not open new database 'Test62'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Cannot create file 'E:Data6Test62Test62_log.LDF' because it already exists. Change the file path or the file name, and retry the operation.
File activation failure. The physical file name "E:Data6TestTest_log.LDF" may be incorrect.

(original database name = data6 est est, new database name is data6 est62 est62)
Is there a way to do this? Or do I just need to give it up?

Attaching A Removable Database

Dec 1, 2000

Hi,

I wanted to create a removable SQL Server 7.0 database. So I created the database using the sp_create_removable system stored procedure, imported objects and data, ensured that the database is configured properly for distribution on removable media (using sp_certify_removable system stored procedure), and detached it from original SQL Server. So far, so good. The database consists of 3 files: MYDB_SYS, MYDB_DATA and MYDB_LOG. I copied
MYDB_DATA on a CD, and MYDB_SYS and MYDB_LOG on hard disk of a different server. If I execute the following statement:

Execute sp_attach_db
@dbname = 'MYDB'
, @filename1 = 'C:MYDB_SYS.MDF'
, @filename2 = 'E:MYDB_DATA.NDF'
, @filename3 = 'C:MYDB_LOG.LDF'

I get the following messages:

Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'E:MYDB_DATA.NDF' may be incorrect.
Server: Msg 945, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
Database 'MYDB' cannot be opened because some of the files could not be activated.
Server: Msg 1813, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not open new database 'MYDB'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.

I can successfully execute the above statement if I make MYDB_SYS.MDF file read only, but then MYDB is created as read only, and this option can not be changed.

Please, help.

Attaching And Detaching A Database

Jul 20, 2005

Q1.)In SQL Server 2000, is it always possible to use copies of thedata and transaction log files of a database from one server toreattach to a new database on another server, or even to the sameserver, without first detaching from the existing database?Books Online says that detaching a database closes the data and logfiles cleanly. I read some where that some times, it is possible toattach without detaching, if the data and log file are in stablestate.This is what I tried - Tried to copy Northwind.mdf and ldf files usingwindows explorer and it gave an error message that the files are inuse. I shutdown the server and now I could easily copy them. Afterthat I renamed these files and successfully attached them as a newdatabase.Q2.)Is it possible to do the same with large production databases?Q3.) Please explain what goes on during detaching /attaching process.Thanks in advanceRavi

Attaching AdventureWorks Database

Today I installed SQLEXPR.EXE that I found here:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.3042&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=5120&LinkId=20476

I made sure that I downloaded the 64-bit version.

I then wanted to download and install the Adventure Works database located here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E719ECF7-9F46-4312-AF89-6AD8702E4E6E&displaylang=en

Since I am running Vista 64-bit, I downloaded and installed AdventureWorksDB_x64. It wouldn't install. I got "Access is denied" and CREATE FILE error plus several others.

I then uninstalled it and downloaded AdventureWorksDB - this is the X86 version. It installed fine.

Can anyone explain what am I missing? Thanks!

Problems Attaching To Database From VWD

Nov 7, 2006

Hi Mike,

I hope you can help me with my SQL Server Express problem. I have a database that was created in VWD Express 2005, that is currently in C:web projectsproject nameApp data...etc. I have been able to connect to and use the database with an application that I am building as a learning exercise, ( I'm a complete newbie to .NET and SQL Server) but now I can't connect to the database from SQL Server manager.

I have tried attaching the file which has worked a few times, but now that won't work either. I keep getting a message that the file can't be found or I do not have sufficient permissions to access it. I can connnect to the file fine from within VWD, but because of the above problem I can't now run the application (it throws an exception).

I suspect that I've got some of the basic configuration settings wrong, but I really don't know where to start looking. Below is an example of one of the messages I've been getting

Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SmoEnum)
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 32(error not found) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:InetpubwwwrootBalloonShopApp_DataBalloonShop.mdf'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

Any help would be very gratefully recieved

Error On Attaching A Database

Jan 4, 2006

I got the error message below:
