Hi
With the sql server on line help , The syntax for the sp_attach_db has
the file name .It is aslo given that max of 16 files can be geven. I
attached a db with a single d.mdf .
could u pls tell what r the 16 file types or how a db can be attached
with 16 files.
With thanks
Can anyone spread any light on the following.
I've created a database of 2 tables which exists over 2 drives. I had a 6 Gig log file on one drive and a 1 Gig log file on the other so I used sp_detach_db to detach it. I then deleted the log files and attempted to sp_attach_db with the following:
"sp_attach_db @dbname =N'cwc_load', @filename1 = N'f:cwc_loadcwc_load_data.mdf', @filename2 = N'e:cwc_loadcwc_load_data2.mdf'"
which are the locations of the .mdf files.
I get the error messages 5105 and 945 (which cannot be tracked down using either the Microsoft site or on-line help) but the messages are "Device Activation error. The physical file name 'F:cwc_loadcwc_load_log.ldf' may be incorrect"
"Database 'cwc_load' cannot be opened because some of the files cannot be activated"
which to me tends to suggest 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 database cwc_load on primary (filename = 'etc) which gives the same error message, please tell me someone out there has a resolution for this.
As part of moving to SQL2K from SQL7 I'm doing sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db on the source server. For those databases that have multiple .ldf files do I need to add a separate filename= line to the sp_attach_db command for each .ldf, or only reference the original .ldf in a single filename?
Thanks,
AL
P.S. Given that I've done a few databases already, what's the effect of entering only the single filename line if multiple filename lines were required?
how do i use "sp_attach_db" properly so that i can make a new database with only the .mdf file?

I am getting device activation errors while running this stored procedure.
Is there any other way to attach those files back to the SQL Server.

Hi,
I'm doing some work for a client who has not been backing up
his databases. After a server crash he has been left with
the .MDF and .LDF files. I have managed to successfully
use sp_attach_db on all but two databases. When attempting
to use sp_attach_db I get the following error message :
1> sp_attach_db @dbname = N'CSGDEV', @filename1 = N'e:SQL_DataDirDataCSGDEV_Data.MDF', @filename2 = N'e:SQL_DataDirDataCSGDEV_Log.LDF'
2> go

I'd appreciate any ideas. I'm not a SQL Server expert (heck, I'm not even
a Windows expert...) as you can probably tell.
Thanks and cheers,

I entered the following in the Query Analyzer and got the result shown:
EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = N'DS2004',
@filename1 = N'd:ds2004_data.mdf',
@filename2 = N'd:ds2004_log.Ldf'
Server: Msg 5172, Level 16, State 15, Line 1
The header for file 'd:ds2004_data.MDF' is not a valid database file header. The PageAudit property is incorrect
I can find nothing about PageAudit property.
What is it and how do I need to modify the command?
Many thanks
Hello,
We use local server windows groups to allow or disallow use of our SQL databases. We are now being asked to move off of our current server. My thoughts are to dettach and attach the database. What is going to happen to all my permissions based on the user groups of our old server? I intend to create the same group names on the new server but they will be newservergroupname as opposed to oldservergroupname. Is it just a case of scripting the database user, roles and object level permissions an manually changing oldserver to newserver?
I am attaching a database with 3 data files.When I execute "exe sp_attache_db..." I obtain this error:database 'POINT' cannot be opened because some of the files could not beactivated.I have deleted its LDF file.Usually I detach my db, then I delete transaction log, and reattach 3 datafiles...Now it doesn'work!!!!!!!!!!Someone can help me?Thanks.

hi,
My problem is, I am going to ship MSDE with our product. Now the problem is that if some one copies the .MDF and .LDF files and uses "sp_attach_db" to attach the db files to his own server then my database will be exposed to him. I have tried this and it gets exosed. I cant deploy NT Authentication for the database, bcoz if the end user installes Enterprise manager then my database will be exposed to him. Is there any way that i can sequre the LDF and MDF files of my database so that no one can use that with sp_attach_db? I m using MSDE(Sql server 2000).
I successfully install SQL Express silently.
Then I try the following
-S .INSTANCE -Q "sp_attach_db 'ATTACH_AS_NAME', 'C:Program FilesAPP_NAMESQLDataAPP_DB.MDF'"
This works...sometimes. But Many times I wll get a permissions error on the folder "C:Program FilesAPP_NAME". If I go and give "Everyone" "Full Permission" to the folder...it works fine.
My questions are:
1) What system users need access (and at what level) to this folder to do an attach? Because obviously giving everyone full access is bad.
2) Is there a better method for deploying a populated database with my application that this?
Here's one. :)
I have Database A in Server 1 which contains objects (tables and SPs) that are owned by users other than dbo. Then I detach this database from Server 1 using sp_detach_db and attach it to Server2 (sp_attach_db). Even if the same logins exist or are created in Server 2, I still won't be able to access the objects in Database A using these logins. I know that this happens because of different SIDs for the same login names across the 2 servers. So given that I want to achieve this without having to use the Import Wizard or any other method, how do I go around this lil bit of a problem? Any thoughts? :)
Thanks!
Hi,all.
I tried to issue:
sp_attach_db pubs,'F:anthonypubs.mdf','F:anthonypubs.ldf'
where the pubs.mdf and pubs.ldf are on a remote mapped drive F:,
I got error:

Device activation error. The physical file name 'f:anthonypubs.ldf' may
be incorrect.
Is attaching a database ONLY supported for local servers ??
What about creating database on remote drive? (I have same error msg back)
Thx
Anthony

This server has a Raid 5 Disk Array partitioned into three Logic Drives C:, S:, L:. Not sure, why the server was configured this way. If I attach the database with the data and log files on the same logical drive, the DB attaches successfully. When I try to put the data and log files on separate logical drives, it fails. Issue seems to be with the drive partitioning. Any Ideas?
Im new to stored procedure, but here's what I want, if someone can get me started and provide this as an example it would be VERY welcome!I have the following, a SP with parameter IsMale.

How do I check if the parameter is empty?2. How do I add the text to my selection query?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,I am trying to write a stored procedure, which has two insert statements.the first insert statement, is simple which inserts data into a table and returns the primary key for the new row added. using this primary key, i am writing another insert statement, which passes a list of elements which would be then entered into another table, with the primary key of the first table.Is this possible to do in a single stored procedure?

I'm trying to construct the following SQL statement but am missing something somewhere.
I get a syntax error with the 1st FROM highlighted.
If i construct a query out of the bit that works and then construct a query on that query then i can get it to work no problem but how to mimic that in SQL ? I can't simply view the SQL of the queries because the query names replace the SQL statements.
I'm trying to SUM the 5 volumes that get returned by the TOP 5 SQL statement. The VotingUniverse_TotalVolumeByType query returns the TotalVolume which will enable me to divide the SUMmed 5 volumes by the TotalVolume to obtain a %age.
SELECT
Type,
Sum(Volume) AS Volume,
TotalVolume
FROM
>>>>>>>>>>this following bit works............
(SELECT TOP 5
VotingUniverse_TopFirmsVolumeByType.Type,
VotingUniverse_TopFirmsVolumeByType.Volume
FROM
VotingUniverse_TopFirmsVolumeByType
WHERE
(((VotingUniverse_TopFirmsVolumeByType.Volume)
In (SELECT TOP 5 VotingUniverse_TopFirmsVolumeByType.Volume

VotingUniverse_TopFirmsVolumeByType

ORDER BY
VotingUniverse_TopFirmsVolumeByType.Volume;)
>>>>>>>>>>>end of bit that works
INNER JOIN
VotingUniverse_TotalVolumeByType
ON
Type = VotingUniverse_TotalVolumeByType.Type
GROUP BY
Type,
TotalVolume;
hope this makes sense to someone anyway

I have a xxx.exe running on SQL 2000 server as a sql job every hour. For some reason this job sometime just hung in the middle and never finish. But
if I stop it and rerun it, it will be down within 10 seconds. I am wondering
if we can set up something so that the job aborts automatically if it ran more than 10 minutes.
Hi everyone.
We are running Sql 6.5 sp5 on a Pentium II 350 Mhz with 512 Mb. RAM, 1 ScSi 4 Gb hd, one 8Gb ScSi hd and 2 IDE hd (13,6 Gb and 8Gb) computer running windows NT 4.0 sp 6 without any problems.
Now have bought a new computer. The new one is a Pentium III 733 Mhz 512 Mb Ram with 2 ScSi ultra wide 2 18Gb each and one 40 Gb Ide Hd. We have installed windows NT 4.0 sp 6 and Sql 6.5 sp 5. We have restored our database to make some tests to it. The database is 7 Gb big.
The results of our test are that the old computer is between 20% and 30% faster than the new one when doing sql instructions and using the database even knowing that the hd´s of the new computers are 4 times faster than the old ones.
Would you please give us any help or clue that would make the new computer go faster?
We know that upgrading to sql 7 will work but we need first to make this computer work better with the 6.5.
Thank you.

I often use DTS to move databases between the servers. When you choose "Transform" data and “Column Mappings and Transformation” window opens, the default option is “Append rows to destination table”.
Question: Is there a way to change the default option to “Delete rows in destination table”, so I wouldn’t have to go thru the transformation of dozens of tables every time I move databases around.
P.S. I know that I can save DTS package with my settings and use it later. The problem is that every time it might be different database or objects might change. So, it is not a solution for me.
Thanks
Dear All,
I have a client requirement. We are integrating two applications. So the problem is that, whenever some updates (meaning to say "create" , "delete" , "update") happens in the SQL DB Tables, i needed to track that data and send it to a different system.
What I have thought abt is that if SQL could generate a file with all the values deleted/updated/created in the DB, then I could take those values and do the needful. Please help me..
Thanks,

I am upgrading my database from SQL Server 2000, SP4 to SQL server 2005, SP2.

2) Do I need to recreate the views and Stored procedure?
3) Do we have a checklist from Micorosoft for upgradation?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a tableCreate Table Payments {paymentid int,customerid int,amount int,date datetime}What I want is the sum of the amounts of the last payments of all customers.Now the last payment of a customer is not necessarily the one with thehighest paymentid for that customer BUT it is the one with the highestpaymentid on the MOST RECENT date. We dont keep the time part just the dateso if there are more than 1 payments of a customer on a date ( and there aremany such cases ) only then the paymentid decides which is the last payment.Further the last payment may be the last as of today but I may want to findthe sum of all the last payments upto say March 1, 2003or any date. My own solution is too slow even it is correct.SELECT SUM( AMOUNT )FROM PAYMENTS AS P1WHERE PAYMENTID =( SELECT MAX( PAYMENTID ) FROM PAYMENTS AS P2 WHERE P1.CUSTOMERID =P2.CUSTOMERID AND DATE =( SELECT MAX(DATE) FROM PAYMENS AS P3 WHERE P3.CUSTOMERID = P2.CUSTOMERIDAND DATE < #9/8/03# ))What would be the most efficient solution to this.Both in SQL Server and in Access 2000thx in advance
