Attaching Files

Jun 21, 2005

I have just started using ASP.net.I have to develop a system that attaches word and PDF files to form.  I also need to be able to do a full text search on the documents attached.I'm currently using SQL server 2000 as my backend DBMS, but I have never used it to attach files. My mates recommend using BLOGS but I'm not sure how to do this and I'm not sure if I can do a full text search using this solution.Could some body please recommend a solution to get me started.Thanks in advancedPaddy

Error In Attaching .mdf Files.. How Can This Be Solved?

May 11, 2006

We've tried attaching the mdf files given to us by some customers using the script they've provided, too.

I created the database with the corresponding names, and tried to run their script. However, I get the message "The media family on device 'D:DatabaseDVVAD01.mdf' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family."

What could possibly have gone wrong? Is it also possible that the file was not properly detached, or what?

Views On Attaching/Detaching Mdf Files

Apr 9, 2008

I am currently having a problem in the implementation of a Database for my C#.net winform application.

Look at the 2 diagrams below:

Diagram 1 : A typical databse design where it usees only 1 mdf file.


Diagram 2: A new proposed approach to implement the Database with multiple mdf files of the same schema!!

In the new proposal of the DB, each mdf files is kept separately and an additional module is required to attach and detach these databases as and when required. The purpose: the performance of all actions on the small data is not affected by the size of the large data

How does this 2 methods measure up in terms of resource usage, performance, etc??

Need comments and views. Thanks.

Recovery/attaching Database Files

Jun 2, 2006

hello, (this was originally posted in Administration Forum)

I am helping out with a disaster recovery of a database and i was given 4 files. 2 MDF and 2 LDF files. When I try to attach the files to SQL Server I recieve this err msg:

Server: Msg 823, Level 24, State 6, Line 1
I/O error (torn page) detected during read at offset 0000000000000000 in file 'E:chivirtualGPS0Dat.mdf'.
Connection Broken

I then tried many other combinations hoping something would work --> tried individual files, just data files, tried to create a new DB and then switching/replacing out with the files i needed...etc, nothing seems to work for me. The people I am trying to help out do NOT have backups.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks...

Apr 18, 2006

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:

Attaching A Valid Database Fails Because Of Old Mdf-files

Sep 3, 2007



I have a database that consists of 4 files (1 MDF, 2 NDF's and 1 LDF-file). I can confirm that by running:

select name from sys.database_files

The result is:
Adam_Data
Adam_Log
Adam_FullText
Adam_History


About a year ago this database had 3 more NDF-files, but we moved all the objects that were stored in these secondary datafiles to the other datafiles and removed them completely from the database. This operation worked correctly otherwise the sys.database_files view would have returned more files I assume.

Everything works perfectly with this database until I try to detach and reattach it. If I detach this database and immediately try to attach it again on the same server using Sql Server Management Studio it wants me to attach 7 database files! The 4 database files that are still being used by this database (which is perfectly valid), but it also wants me to attach the 3 old database files which obviously don't exist anymore and that aren't even reported by the sys.database_files view. Is there anything I can do to make sure that an attach of this database will work again? How can I completely remove these old database files?

Regards,
Michael

SQL 2012 :: Attaching SSAS Database Files On A Different Server?

Jun 26, 2015

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.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Attaching Received Files To New Database

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Cannot Access Path When Attaching Database With Data Files On SMB Share

Oct 1, 2014

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

Error Attaching .mdf

Feb 2, 2006

I have been asked to edit a web based database and have been given the site on cd.
I have installed IIS, sql server express and Visual Web Developer express.
I am having problems getting the mdf database connected. It works at the school where they have it installed and as far as I know I have mirrored the configuration they have on one  of my test servers.
The database is in App_Data
the connection string is "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=c:inetpubwwwrootApp_Datacampbell.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
And the state is closed.
When I view one of the aspx pages in IE I get the following.

Server Error in '/' Application.


Configuration Error

Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Re-Attaching Databases

May 5, 2004

Haven't posted in a while but got great advice the last time I did - http://www.dbforums.com/t573220.html
I hope someone can give me some advice this time.

Due to a flawed Microsoft hotfix the o/s on which my SQL Server was trashed completely causing me to lose some databases completely. The o/s and SQL Server have now been reinstalled (same version as before).

I have about 716 databases and logfiles which I need to re-attach to the server. I don't have the old master db or a db of all the database names. I was thinking I could write an asp script using FSO to get all the database & log file names & paths and attach them using sp_attach_db.

If anyone knows an easier way to do it or has advice to give, I would be really greatful.

Detaching And Attaching

Dec 10, 2006

Hi,
Im not new to SQL Server but I am new to v.2005. We have done a class project and to finish up I am creating schemas, logins and different user roles and permissions.
I now need to detach the DB and send it to our team leader for submission. I'm scared to do this because I don't know if all the logins and passwords I've created will appear in it's new location. Will they be there in the new server's security folder just as I created them or will they dissapear into the ether?
Signed:
Sweating very much


It is better to be prepared and not have an opportunity than to not be prepared and have an opportunity

Renaming While Attaching

Apr 26, 2007

I am using SQL Server Management Studio with SQL Server 2005. On my development SQL server, I have developers using a database named TestData. An off-site developer has sent new versions of TestData.MDF and TestData.LDF. I want to attach this new database to the same development server for testing, without overwriting the existing database in use by the developers. How can I rename this new TestData to something like TestDataNew while attaching it? I only have the MDF and LDF files.

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 Db Doesn&#39;t Work

Mar 1, 2001

I try to copy a DB from one server to another. On the target server an older version of the DB has been deleted and I now try to attach the new version using "sp_attach_db DBname, Filelocation", but I always get an error "Device Activation error. The physical file name 'D:mssql7dataAgency_log.ldf' may be incorrect"
"Database 'Agency' cannot be Created"

To me it seems that the database is looking for the log files (now deleted).
I've tried forcing a new log file I created using the same locations for the mdfs. I've tried using create a new database and replace the mdf file, but nothing works.

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:

Attaching DB Using Single MDF File

Feb 9, 2004

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
"the file you've specified is not a valid sql server database file" . But another database was restored using a MDF file without any problems ?
Please do get back if anyone may get what the problem likely is ? It'd be of great help. Let me know if my problem was clear or if I've to put it in a different fashion.

Cheers
Ganesh
