Creating A Database On A Network Path
Aug 9, 2006
When I try to create a new database on a network path, I get the following error:
"\server est estdatabase.mdf" is on a network path that is not supported for database files.
Am I trying something that isn't possible? Should databases always be stored on the server PC running SQL (Express)?
I'm using Visual Basic Express and SQL Express (installed on a local PC not the server, so the connectionstring is ".SQLEXPRESS"), TCP/IP is enabled.
Regards, EBA

I have two, probably related, problems:I have a very simple site. It will be used on the local intranet only. I want to use the windows authentication so users do not have to log on. The aspnetdb has been created using the configuration tool. If I use Server Explorer in vs to work on the site on my local machine, I can open aspnetdb, look at its tables, etc. If I use Server Explorer in vs to work on the site on the server, aspnetdb will not open and gives this error message: ..."network path that is not supported for database files"...Other sites on the same server give the same message, but the sites work. I think this is because they can read the file but not write it; but that is a guess. We have tried everything; my head is ready to explode. We are using SQLServerExpress. It resides on the server's C drive (as does our data database). The web site, and hence the aspnetdb are on the F: drive of the same machine. Does SQLServerExpress treat the F: drive as a UNC drive? If so, are we in deep doo doo? I'm at a loss.As far as logging in: If I debug from vs, the login works beautifully both on my local machine and running from the server using vs. Login does not work when accessing the site from iexplorer. Mystified by that one, too. I tried to implement profiles and they crash, too; that led me to consider a write problem.Don't know what to do; any help is appreciated.

Hello,
Completely new to this stuff, so sorry if I'm asking
something that is painfully simple to resolve!!! Also, not sure whether
there are standard formats for code, errors etc.
OK. When I create a Login.aspx file in VWD Express on my local Hard Disk Drive, the file works and runs correctly, allowing
me to log in etc.
However, when I do exactly the same thing using a remote Network Drive connection to an Intranet server, when you enter the
Username and Password, and Click the Log In Button, the following error message appears:-
The file "[Network Drive]AuthorsApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf" is on a network path that is not supported for database files.An
attempt to attach an auto-named database for file
S:AuthorsApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name
exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC
share.
Then I get the following information - which I'm sure is supposed to help, but doesn't!!!

I am trying to use a file system task to create a directory. The error indicates that the path does not exist. But isn't that what the task is for: Creating a path (essentially a set of related folders)? Here is the path as supplied via variable:
\Computernamecommon3 Day StorageHWillamkeygrip
Anything obviously wrong?
BTW, I have no control over the fact that there are spaces in this path
Thanks in advance

I have a DTS that pulls a file from a networked drive (generally using the u: designation) for part of its process. Recently, the server has been dropping network drive connections, so sometimes the DTS will fail (I'm not certain why it's dropping the connections, nor do I have the access or control to figure out such.)
I've been told that I should change the DTS package to use an explicit path (i.e., \serverfolder1folder2file.mdb instead of u:folder2file.mdb) to work around this problem. However, Enterprise Manager doesn't seem to like using this for the "File name" attribute in the connection properties. (This is an Access connection, if that matters.)
Is there any way to get the explicit path (probably the wrong terminology here) to work with the connection properties?

We installed the SQL Server 2012 GUI tools, including "Upgrade Advisor," on a new virtual machine. We can connect to the old SQL Server 2008 R2 clustered databases just fine over port 1433 using SQL Server Management Studio 2012, but Upgrade Advisor is a mixed bag. Here are the steps we are taking:
- Click on "Start," "All Programs," "Microsoft SQL Server 2012," "SQL Server 2012 Upgrade Advisor"
- Fill in the server name with a valid SQL Server Network Name
- Select "SQL Server" as the only component to be analyzed
- Fill in the instance name with a valid named instance
- Use Windows Authentication (the default)
- The "SQL Server Parameters" window displays valid database names, meaning that we have a successful connection to the desired SQL Server instance at this point
- Leave all of the databased selected (the default)
- Click the "Run" button
- The "Upgrade Advisor Progress" window spins for a while and eventually generates the following error:
TITLE: mscorlib
------------------------------
The network path was not found.
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
Why would Upgrade Advisor be able to display the database names after making a successful connection only to fail later saying that it cannot find the network path?

When a new database is created in enterprise manager the path for the database and transaction logs are defaulted to d:mssql7data or wherever you installed SQL Server to initially. Is there a way to change the defaults to place the data on one drive and the logs on a different drive?

Good Morning,
I'm hoping that someone can help me. I have a SQL 2005 SSIS package that will run Friday mornings to empty/load a table with data from another database. On Friday evenings I'll need to run another package, but want to make sure the table load completed prior to launch. For this I planned to use a file watcher task, however I cannot for the life of me figure out how to output a 'done' semaphore, from the morning job, to a networked drive.
A file system task will not work because there is not a 'create file' option. I do not have an existing file that I can rename either.
I tried an execute process task running cmd.exe with the following argument:
Code Snippetecho Done> \NetworkedServerftprootLoad.Done
This fails because UNC paths are not recognized. (The package executes from another server so I cannot use a local path, nor am I allowed to set-up a local share.)
Can someone offer an alternative suggestion? I'm really hoping this is easier than I'm making it.
Thank you in advance,
Roger

When trying to install Business Contact Manager (BCM) for Outlook 2007, the setup failed and I was refered to a log file in my Local Settings/Temp folder. The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 as an instance or as instance if SQL Express is already installed. There is an MSSMLBIZ instance in Services..
Who can I send the Log File to for analysis and the fix feedback?
When I first went into Computer Management and clicked on Services and Applications in the left panel, the error message appeared "Snap-in failed to intialize. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager CLSID:{CA9F8727-31DF-41D2-975C-887D84903967} This message diappeared when I clicked on Services and Applications again. Under Services, there are 3 SQL services - one is an application that was uninstalled 3-4 weeks ago and I disabled this service. The other 2 are: SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and the other one is SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) When I tried to start either of the last 2, the message appeared: Services "Could not start the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Under Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSGL.1 folder is mostly empty. So, it seems like the Path in the Registry is not valid and that nothing is being installed in the MSSQL.1 folder. If so, how do I fix this?
How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and run properly? what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.
Thank you!
Gary

Hi all,
In my office computer network system (LAN), my Windows XP Pro PC has SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed and I was granted to have the Administrator priviledge to access SQL Server Express. I tried to create a SQLCLR project in my terminal PC.
1) I tried to set up a remote connection to SQL Server Express in the following way: SQL Server EXpress => SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. In the Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connection - local, I clicked on Remote Connection of Database Engine, SQLEXPRESS and I had a "dot" on "Local and remote connections" and "Using TCP/IP only". Then I clicked on "Apply" and "OK" buttons. Then I went to restart my database engine in SQL Server Management. When I went to check SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration, I saw the arrow is pointing to "Service", not to "Remote Connections"!!!??? Is it right/normal? Please comment on this matter and tell me how I can have "Remote Connecton" on after I selected it.
2) After I restarted the database engine (I guess!!), I executed the following project code (copied from a book) in my VB 2005 Express:

Hey everyone,
I'm in the midst of setting up hMailServer on my server and at one point it tells me to enter the name of my database I setup for my email. I entered my database name along with the username and password to access the database. What I'm lost on is the database server address. I thought that would be localhost but I wasn't quite sure and I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with this.
Thanks for any help,

Hey guys,
I uploaded my website from VWD Express to ipower. My database did not work, which I have learned upon some research should have not been a shock to me, but most definetely was. When I contacted tech support they told my that my web.config files were pointing to my local paths. That I should change them and I should be fine. Elsewhere, in the knowledge base I found the strConnect that I am under the impression I need to use.
strConnect = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Server=SQL-A1; UID=account_username; PWD=account_password; Database=user_db_name" oSQLServer.Connect strServer,strLogin,strPwd
The problem is, I'm a complete newbie, learning as I go and I can't find anything on where or how I insert this into my web.config to correct my paths. IPower will not help with coding. I know my current connection string is in web.config in the appsettings, that's about as far as my knowledge goes.
So, could anyone show me how I go about putting this into my web.config? Examples are very helpful :]
On a side note, I've been reading that this is a common problem among newbies like myself. So, is changing these files actually going to work, or am I wasting my time? Also, before I get knee-deep into it, is the database-publishing kit put out by MS the way to go here?
Thanks for any and all replies, you guys are always awesome.

Hi-
I have installed a SQL 2005 software and created 4 instances and 4 databases on each server namely , Adventureworks , sample , testdb1, testdb2.
After creating these many databases , i was very confused to find out the actual database files in Programfiles directory as each instance was created in a separate directory namely MSSQL.1 , MSSQL.2...etc.
how do i identify the correct database path for sample database in instance3.
is there any system tables or stored proc that i can user to identify this path.

Greetings,I have to admit that I'm still a beginner in the database field, but I'mactively studying, and this is why I will be utterly grateful for theproper, accurate, and wise guidance to the right direction or specificpaths of database studies.I simply want to make my first major database project a "personalknowledge database" or a "personal encyclopedia", so to speak. By this Imean that I want to gather diverse, multi-format bits of knowledge intoa single database divided into major categories, sub-categories, and soon. For example, I want to scan collected articles from newspapers &magazine and save them as images, type hand-written notes into thecomputer and save them as MS Word or Text files, save audio files withsearchable keywords, even save searchable MS OneNote audio & text files,all into directories & sub-directories. Then I want to be able to searchall these files for specific words or subjects; sort them according todate, subject, etc; update, add to or append, edit, or even cut & paste(within) any of those records in the database, which rely on easilycustomizable formats like text & images (in contrast with audio files orOneNote files, for example).I also want to prevent wasting time in the future, by avoidingrepetitive, same-keywords typing for every non-text new entry, like animage or audio file, by having a customizable keyword list open (byright clicking for example), where one could mark all the relevantkeywords for the picture or audio file. Also have a short descriptionfor each one of those entries when needed. And I want to be able to addslick, good-looking graphics to the interface of the database and theforms of the records.Basically, my priorities include: saving time filling the database withknowledge, quickly & accurately finding the future targets of anysearch, presenting the search results in a highly comprehensible &organized form, and a good looking interface & forms for every entry,which are pleasing to the eye and encouraging to study.I already use graphics applications for the "looks" part. So my questionis: what are the technologies or applications that I should learn byheart and use in order to design such a database in the best way? WouldMS Access alone do it all for me? Or should I learn other technologies?I'll be grateful for anyone taking the time to help. Thanks.Sincerely,Yasso"Claiming that God does not exist because there are people suffering anddying is like saying that barbers do not exist because there are peoplewith long hair!

I have a database that I have made with Sql Server 2005 Express. I am building a windows app using this db as the back end. I am using visual C# Express as well.
I found out during this project that I had to detach my database in order to establish a new connection to it using the express editions. I learned that this is a short coming of the Sql Server 2005 Express Edition. So I detached my db. When I reattached my database the name had the path to where the file was in it's name. I don't think I have done anything to cause this. But, obviously something went wrong.I have a jpeg screenshot of this but can't post it in this forum.
I created another small database as a test to see if the same thing would happen again. The database only has one table with two columns. I detached and then reattached it with no problems. It did not get the weird file name that automatically included the path to the file.
Does any one know what is going on with this? Do you know how I can reattach this database and only have the original name(not the path to the file)?
Thanks

Hi, I've to restore a bk into a new DB, because the old one has a lot of devices created on different places and phisical disks.
Im not sure to do that, cause Ive heard some problems with this action.
The old Db has 10 devices of data and 10 devices of log, and I want to create only one device of data (sum of all the data devices) and only one device of log (sum of all log devices)
Is it possible or not?
Tnx a lot!

Hi
Scenario: In general user will take database backup from database server to local system. User perform some changes to his local database based on his requirement. Again user connects to database server and click on update, local database should update to server database by informing each record status to the user. ex: record 1 updated / call closed do you want to update?
Here local database is going to be Pocket pc database and server database is on SQLDatabase. Can any one suggest best way to implement this feature in Windows Pocket pc, c#. I would appreciate your reply.
Thanks,

Hello. I am attempting to add a distribution database to an instance of SQL Server on my local PC. I am using SQL 2005 Developer Edition. I am able to set the instance up as a distributor using the following command:
exec sp_adddistributor @distributor = N'computernameinstancename'
I use the following command to create the distribution database:
exec sp_adddistributiondb @database = N'distribution', @data_folder = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData',
@data_file_size = 4, @log_folder = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData',
I get the following error when executing that command:
Msg 14430, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_adddistributiondb, Line 214
Invalid destination path C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData.
It's not due to permissions on that particular folder. I have tried using other folders, all with the same results. Also, I am an Administrator on the PC, so I have full permissions. I have tried running the SQL Server services as myself and Local System. Same results both times. Co-workers with apparently the same setup are able to create the distribution database without a problem.
Has anybody had this type of problem?
Thanks,
Evan

Hi everyone,
I am working on a Hospital Information System project with a team of 6.Each one of us builds or modifies a part of the system and shares the project over a common repository. The problem here is that we use the absolute path of the database in our connection string. Although the directory structure of our project is the same for each member, since the main project folder itself is stored in different locations on each person's computer (for example, one may have it stored in c:My Documents and the other in d: My Documents), we are forced to modify the connection string manually each time someone else from the team updates the repository with the database. How do we make the path of the database relative so that we don't have to modify the connection string manually each time after receiving an update from the repository?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
