Hi
I need your help in attaching an .mdf database (Created in SQL Server 2005 in another computer) to SQL server 2005. I tried the original way (right click>attache), but all I get is the following:
Hi,
I've created a database in sql server 2005, but now I need to detach this database and attach it in sql express. Is this possible? I keep getting an error that my database is readonly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
I'm trying to attach a MSDE 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 Express.
I simply issue sp_detach_db XXX where XXX is the name of my MSDE database. Then sp_attach_db or create database ... with attach and both way gets the following message:
Event ID. : 3415
Description: Database 'XXX' cannot be upgraded because it is
read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and
rerun recovery.
What does it mean?
Thanks for any help,
Peter
Hello,
I've seen threads concerning this problem. I have followed the prescribed steps to fix the problem. I've set the db owner to sa, I've set compatibility to 2005. Still I can't get the diagram to function.
Can anyone out there help me?
Thanks, Bill
Hi there,
I have created an .iss file which when compiled creates a setup.exe file on a cd rom. Within the .iss I have extracted the sqlexpress files out so that it will install straight from disk to the users machine rather than from the .msi file. All this has been successful so far....
My problem is:- I want to attach a database to the an instance of sqlexpress on the users machine. I have detached it from SQL Server 2000 and copied it over to the cd. The setup file copies these over the users hard drive. I have looked through many forums etc and the words that keep popping up are:-
sqlcmd.exe
template.ini
type into the command prompt.
Sorry if I'm a little ignorant but I am not sure how to go about these. How do I open the command prompt on the users machine from CD? Do I have to create something to do this?
Any information would be appreciated, any guidance or scripts would be great.
Regards
Sam
Hi All ...
I am not facing a problem while connecting to sql server 2005 databse, when i attach that first, in management studio, then I can access that from localhost, its fine at this point. but when i detach that database from management studio i am facing the follwing error while accessing it from localhost i.e.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Unable to open the physical file "D:databaseHunzian.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)". An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file D:databaseHunzian.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
The connection string to access that database is
undefined=@"Data
I will be happy to have your replies .
I just upgraded a large SQL 2000 database server to SQL 2005, and I have 2 databases that won't attach to the 2005 Server. They are both very small, about 90MB in size, and when I attach them to 2005, the process alternates between running and spinloop status. It can sit forever, and will never complete. I restored backups before the upgrade to a SQL 2000 Server, and reran DBCC CheckDB on both, and got no consistency errors, Updated Stats and indexes, then detached and moved the data files to 2005, and same thing.

Hello,
I am using the full version of sql server 2005 management studio to attempt to attach sql express mdf files to sql server 2005.
I was using the databases from an ASP.NET commerce starter kit in sql express. I want to update to sql server 2005, so i detached the dbs.
i deleted the sql express management studio ctp and installed sql server 2005 from the free 6 month trial available online.
I then attempted to attach the sql express files to sql server 2005 and get the following error:

I am trying to attach to the SQL Server 2000 sample Northwind database using SQL Server 2005. When I do the Database-->Attach using the GUI everything seems alright. I can open the Northwind database and see the usual listing of stuff.
However, when I click on the Database Diagrams, I get an error message stating "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database support objects."
I have tried repeatedly to get the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to work, all to no avail. I have restarted my machine, and the properties of the database is now saying that the owner is the same as the other databases I have, but I keep getting the error message.What am I doing wrong here? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Howdy Folks,
I have a site on WS2003, IIS 6 installed on c:.
I put the site in a folder on d:. Nothing else is on d: except the web site.
I added a new website in IIS and pointed to the site on d:.
Using the default connectionString in machine.config, I am unable to connect to ASPNETDB.MDF. Therefors, I can not log in.
In SQL Server Management Studio Express, I attached ASPNETDB.MDF. I then am able to log in.
Does ASPNETDB.MDF have to be manually attched like this when the web site is located on a drive othr than where IIS is installed and running?
Thanks

I can detach/attach SSAS database.But I have a software that protects(backs up) the files of the SSAS Database.
What the customer needs is to be able to take these backed up files and port it to a different server and attach it there.But the new server complains that these files have no corresponding detach-log files.
The customer doesn't want to backup and restore the SSAS databases.
Hello,
I have a database that resides in SQL Server 7.0 that I can attach in Microsoft's SQL Server Management Studio Express and I can see all the tables from the database in that program.
My problem is that when ever I re open SQL Server Enterprise manager, the database that I attached to SSME, shows up as Database(Suspect). Now I am unable to view my tables in that database. Can anyone tell me what causes this, and how I can resolve that issue?
I need to have my sql server database, and sql server express edition database present in SSME because I am doing an import of data from SQL Server 7.0 to SQL server express.
Also, if there is another easier way to import data from SQL Server 7.0 to SQL Express edition, I would like to know...
Thanks in advance.
If I create a database in SQL Express and then copy the MDF/LDF files and attach them to a machine running SQL Server 2005 Standard - will this new database have SQL Express limitations?
Are there good reasons not to do this and create the database in SQL Server Standard using scripts generated from the SQL Express instance instead?
Basically, I'm setting up a merge replication between Standard and SQL Express for a common database and I figure attaching a copy of the database created in SQL Express is the fastest way to get this started.
I am actually very new to SQL databases, I have received an .MDF and .LDF for a database of size 50 GB...
I need to create or attach these files to a new database and extract some columns then convert them to .text or .csv...
Hello all!
Quick question... I've created my DB in MSSQLSMS, then attempted to created a stored procedure for it. The code itself is fine, I just need to know how to actually attach it so that it appears in the "Stored Procedures" section of my Database.
I have Right Clicked on Stored Procedures > New Stored Procedure... > Edited as required > Save
When I attempt to save it, it prompts me for a file. That's fine, did that - but I can't see ANY way to actually attach this to the DB.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi There
Can U help me?
Have a MDF file from SQL7 and I attempt to attach the databse to sql 2000.
However, keep getting this error when Accessing the database.
Cannot Open Database 'dbname' from version 524. Upgrade database to latest version.
Is there a work-around to solve this problem

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 2 node cluster with SQL Server 2014 FCI installed. Data files are on a separate Windows Server 2012 R2 file server. Data files share has been permissioned to the SQL Server service and SQL Server Agent service accounts as Full Control. NTFS Permissions are Full Control.
When I try to attach a database
CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorksDW2012
ON (FILENAME = 'apricotmssql_VIOLETMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAAdventureWorksDW2012_Data.mdf')
FOR ATTACHI get this error:
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 4
Unable to open the physical file "apricotmssql_VIOLETMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAAdventureWorksDW2012_Data.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
If I log into the file server (called APRICOT) and look at the NTFS permissions they all look good. I have also reapplied the NTFS permissions from the root folder down.
EDIT
If I log on to one of the nodes in the cluster as the SQL Server service account and navigate to apricotmssql_VIOLETMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATA and copy and paste the data file, it works fine.
EDIT2:
If I log on to the file server and Enable Inheritance at the root level, then Replace all child objects with inheritable permission entries from this object, I get this error:
User Account Control settings on all nodes and the file server are set to Never notify

I have made a backup of a sql 2000 database that was on the server at work and and I would like to use it in sql 2005 express on my home laptop.
Can anyone help? I can't seem to work out how to do it. Do I restore it or re-attach it? Is it possible?
Sorry if these are basic questions.

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?

We have our production SQL 2005 server (64 bit Standard Ed.) attached to an iSCSI Equalogic SAN. We have set up 2 new servers an installed the cluster service. My question is: can I install SQL 2005 in this cluster environment an latter on disconnect the data and log volumes from the production server, attach those volumes to the cluster an reattach the DBs? the reason we need to do it like that is that we don't have enough spare space in the SAN to initially create these 2 volumes in the cluster.
Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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.
