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
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
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
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:

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.
Hello,I use the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I want to create a new database, but I cant find where and how.Can anyone provide me with starter's tips and/or a good tutorial?
Thanks!
hi
i have a database file backup which is having no extension (eg saims) . Can i create a database using this backup in sql server expression edition.
Or else is there any way to get the .mdf file from sql server 2005 full edition??????????????
Thanx in advance
Hi,
I have a script that performs an unattended installation of SQL Server and works fine.
However, if I un-install via the control panel all the files are removed apart from the databases that are created by me when SQl server was installed. This is good and ensures data is not deleted.
The files left over are in the following directory:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
and contains:
MyDatabase.mdf
MyDatabase_log.LDF
The problem I have is after performing the re-installtion of SQL server (unattended) I am unable to create a new database with the same name (in this instance called "myDatabase").
The actual files are physically there so this is the reason a new database with the same name cannot be creacted.
Again this is ok again because it ensures I cannot overwrite existing data. However I am unable to re-attach this database to SQl server so I can continue to use it!
The question is:
How do I make this database usable again after an unattended install? Is there a parameter I am missing?
Below are the commands I use that are passed to the installation of SQL Server as command line parameters:
#define SQL_SILENT "-q /passive /norebootchk /qn reboot=ReallySuppress"
#define SQL_USERNAME "username=MyUserName"
#define SQL_COMPANYNAME "companyname=MyCompanyName"
#define SQL_ADDLOCAL "addlocal=ALL"
#define SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS "disablenetworkprotocols=0"
#define SQL_INSTANCENAME "instancename=MSSQLSERVER"
#define SQL_SQLAUTOSTART "SQLAUTOSTART=1"
#define SQL_SECURITYMODE "SECURITYMODE=SQL"
#define SQL_SAPWD "SAPWD=#Password#"
#define SQL_SAVESYSDB "1"
#define SQL_USESYSDB ""
#define SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR ""
#define SQL_INSTALLDATADIR ""
#define SQL_PARAMETERS SQL_SILENT + " " + SQL_USERNAME + " " + SQL_COMPANYNAME + " " + SQL_ADDLOCAL + " " + SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS + " " + SQL_INSTANCENAME + " " + SQL_USESYSDB + " " + SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR + " " + SQL_INSTALLDATADIR + " " + SQL_SAVESYSDB + " " + SQL_SQLAUTOSTART + " " + SQL_SECURITYMODE + " " + SQL_SAPWD
The last four commands I have played around with but for some reason SQL Server service will not start when these are used! (This is a different issue though!).
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Paul

Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,

Using Visual Web Designer 2005 Express and SQL Server Express 2005 I am not able to create a "working" SQL database. I am able to use the NORTHWIND.MDF and other tutorial .mdf files without any problems. I am presently using an MS Access database without any problems. I was able to use the upsize wizard in Access to create a SQL database (which isn't recognized by VWD). I have downloaded the SQL Server Management Studio Express. OK, I think I'm ready to go. When I attempt to create a new SQL database through VWD 2005 I receive an error "Connections to SQL Server files (.mdf) require SQL Server 2005 Express to be working properly. Please verify the installation of the component..." I reinstalled the software, but get the same message.What am I missing please?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Hi all,
In the last one and half years, I used the Northwind Database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to learn the programming of SqlConnections, Data sources, Database Exploere, ADO.NET 2.0, etc. via VB 2005 Express.
The Northwind Database in my SSMSE got lost very often, but I was not aware of it. How can I know where the Northwind Database is used or processed by my VB 2005 Express projects that were the examples of some tutorial books or my trial projects? How can I release the Northwind Database back to my SSMSE from the VB 2005 Express projects? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

Is this possible to attach a database from a SQL 2005 server to a Server runnning SQL 2000?
I have searched but came up empty.
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.
