Attach Database Problem - SQL Server Express 2005.
Dec 17, 2007I 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
Unable To Attach DataBase In SQL Server 2005 Standard
May 6, 2007Now 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!!!

View 1 Replies View RelatedBackup/Restore Vs Attach/Detach 2000 Database To 2005
Jul 15, 2006I'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,

Can Multiple Workstations Running SQL 2005 Server Express Attach To The Same Database Files On A Shared Network Location?
Mar 15, 2007Can 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL 2005 And SQL 2008 Database Volume Capacity
Dec 1, 2007Hi Everybody:
4 -5 years ago, I started my career as a translator translating the MetaTexis CAT (Computer Aided Translation Software).
It's amazing to see all the improvements that have been made until now, but recently I found some problems regarding
databases:
I heard that ACCESS databases volume is limited up to 2 GB and that SQL 2005 databases volume is limited up to 4 GB, but I think this information is wrong, or at least I was only able to import 10% of that amount.
Speaking in words, 2 GB doesn't represent a database with a volume of 125,000 segments/sentences (for ACCESS) and 4 GB a volume of 250,000 (for SQL 2005).
Concrete, my "mega.mxtm" database has "only" 359 MB and suddenly I refuses to import more sentences. Is that normal? (MICROSOFT SQL 2005)
Question: Is the new SQL 2008 also limited? Is there any way to "free" or increase the volume capacity?
Point 2: As I updated the SQL 2005 into 2008 I am not able to open the "old" "mega.mxtm" anymore... : (
Regards!

A Question Regarding Copying A Database From SQL 2005 To SQL 2008 Server

Does copy database wizard use OLEDB for the transfer?

Migrating From Sql2000 MSDE Database To Sql2005 Express - Attach Database Errors
Apr 23, 2006I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?

Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
