Database Explorer In VB Express:AdventureWorks.mdf-Files Do Not Match The Primary File Of The Database

Nov 5, 2007

Hi all,

I downloaded and ran AdventureWorks.msi into my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) one year ago.But I did not know how to attach it to my SSMSE then. Last week, I deleted it from the "Add or Remove" of Control Panel and I downloaded the new AdventureWork.msi and installed it my SSMSE. Today, I tried to use the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express for the first Stored Procedure programming. I clicked on AdventureWorks.mdf and I got the following error: One or more files do not match the primary of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupt and should be restored from a backup. Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'CENADe1enxshc'. Log file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAdventureWorks_Data_log.ldf' does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database of the log may have been rebuilt previously. Please help and advise me how to correct this problem.

Thanks,
Scott Chang

Failed Hotfix - One Or More Files Do Not Match The Primary File Of The Database

Apr 29, 2008

I've just applied CU7 to a set of SQL2005 SP2 servers with no problems, except on one server.
I've now fixed the problem, but couldn't find description of it elsewhere so post it here in case it helps anyone else with the same problem.


Here's the problem I had. The server is Windows 2003 with two instances of SQL 2005 SP2 (9.00.3186)
1) Ran the patch (SQLServer2005-KB949095-x86-ENU.exe)
2) C: drive ran out of space whilst patch was running against instance A
3) Cleared down space on C: drive
4) Patch had hung, after 45 minutes of no activity I killed it
5) Re-ran patch, it reported instance A as upgraded already and just upgraded instance B
6) After reboot instance A failed to start. Instance B started with no problem.

The service was failing to start with the following recorded in the log:
Server Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3239.00 (Intel X86)
[€¦]
spid5s The resource database build version is 9.00.3186. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
spid5s Error: 5173, Severity: 16, State: 1.
spid5s One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.
spid5s Error: 5173, Severity: 16, State: 1.
spid5s One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.
spid5s Log file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAmssqlsystemresource.ldf' does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database or the log may have been rebuilt previously.
spid5s The log cannot be rebuilt when the primary file is read-only.
spid5s Error: 945, Severity: 14, State: 2.
spid5s Database 'mssqlsystemresource' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details.



I think that the patch must have got part-way through instance A, enough to mark it as being patched, but not far enough to patch the mssqlsystemresource system database (note the version numbers in the log above - 9.00.3239 vs 9.00.3186).
The hotfix log records an error opening the registry, but the detailed log was overwritten by the subsequent (successful) run of the hotfix so there€™s no more detail available.

To fix this I copied in the mssqlsystemresource mdf and ldf files from instance B (which wasn€™t patched the first time round, and was subsequently patched successfully). From what I understand mssqlsystemresource is read-only and holds copies of system sprocs etc, so a copy will suffice. Plus I am assuming the SQL Server is clever enough to complain if it€™s not happy with the instance of the file.

Note that the problem recorded elsewhere for this error, where mssqlsystemresource or other system DBs have been moved from their original installation folders, was not the cause here.
Not sure if this is the 'correct' fix, but it got Instance A up and running. Obviously YMMV

How Can I Return A Database From The DataBase Explorer Of VB 2005 Express To The Object Explorer Of SQL Server Management Studio

Mar 3, 2008

Hi all,

I just realized recently that a database "XYZ" in the Object Explorer of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) is put in the Database Explorer of my VB 2005 Express for processing a Stored Procedure in executing the SELECT statements (not by using Input and/or Output Parameters) during the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming, then the content of the database "XYZ" is not in the SSMSE. How can I return the database "XYZ" from the DataBase Explorer of VB 2005 Express back to the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) safely? Please help and advise.

Thanks in advance,

2005 Database Will Be Shown In Management Sudio Express Or App_Data/Database Explorer?

Feb 13, 2008

I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express sample databases from 2 books, ASPnet 2.0 and ADOnet 2.0. The ASPNETDB.MDF was shown in App_Data and Database Explorer, but not in the SQL Server Management Studio Express. The AdoStepBy Step database created by a ConfigDB.exe was displayed in the Management Studio, but not in the App_Data, or Database Explorer.

Is this the way SQL Server 2005 runs the 2005 databases for SQL Server 2005 Express only? Or also in SQL Server 2005?

TIA,
Jeffrey

Right Code Statements Of SqlConnection && ConnectionString For Connecting A Database In Database Explorer Of VB 2005 Express?

Feb 14, 2008

Hi all,

In the VB 2005 Express, I can get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString of a Database "shcDB" in the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) by the following set of code:
///--CallshcSpAdoNetVB2005.vb--////

Imports System.Data

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Imports System.Data.SqlTypes

Public Class Form1

Public Sub InsertNewFriend()

Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=shcDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)

Try

connection.Open()

Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_insertNewRecord", connection)

command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
.......................................
etc.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If the Database "shcDB" and the Stored Procedure "sp_inertNewRecord" are in the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express, I plan to use "Data Source=local" in the following code statements to get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString:
.........................
........................

Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=local;Initial Catalog=shcDB;Integrated Security=SSPI;"

Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)

Try

connection.Open()

Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_insertNewRecord", connection)

command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
........................
etc.

Is the "Data Source=local" statement right for this case? If not, what is the right code statement for my case?

Please help and advise.

Thanks,

AdventureWorks Database Not Seen By Management Studio Express CTP

Apr 19, 2006

When I install AdventureWorks.db for SQL Express, it runs without errors. The database files (data and logs) are in the SQL Express 2005 data directory. However, I can not see the database in Managment Studio Express CTP. I've tried repairing and uninstall/install again. Does not help.

I have SQL Express 2005 cleanly installed. I have the pubs and Northwinds databases cleanly installed. (I was able to execute the queries that came for installing these). I can see both pubs and Northwinds in Management Studio Express CTP.

Any suggestions?

SQL Server Management Studio Express, Database Explorer In Visual Web Developer Express...which To Use???

Apr 16, 2007

When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
 Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
 When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
 Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
 
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

How Can I Attach AdventureWorks Database To SQL Server Management Studio Express?

Sep 25, 2006

Hi all,

I just downloaded AdventureWorks_Data.mdf, AdventureWorks_Data.ldf, AdventureWorksDW_Data.mdf, and AdventureWorksDW_Data.LDF files to the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1|MSSQLData folder of my Windows XP Pro PC. I tried to attach the AdventureWorks database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express in the following way: I clicked on SQL Server 2005 Express=>SQL Server Management Studio Express=>Right clicked on Databases=> clicked on "Attach..."=> "Attach Databese" showed up. But I can not type in anything under the MDF File Location, Database Name, Attach As, Owner, Status, Message!!!??? What is wrong in my way of doing the attachment of AdventureWorks database (described above)? Please help and advise.

Thanks,

Scott Chang

P. S. I do not have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

I read an SQL Express post dated 19 April 2006 and learned the above-mentioned way to attach the AdventureWorks database in the SQL Server Management Studio Express. But that way does not work for me.

Recovery :: Primary Log File Is Not Available For Database

May 6, 2015

We are doing restoring in a different data center and keep sending log backups and restore from there.Recently we want to bring a new volume to the sql server and move all databases to the new volume, then the problem comes, I did a test that I cannot simply change the drive letter, i.e. old disk letter x, new disk letter y, then I turn off all sql instances and move all databases(restoring status) to disk y, then get rid off disk x, resign x to disk y, so now new disk has old letter x now. then I continue the restore log against latest log backup, it returns the error.

Msg 3446, Level 16, State 2, Line 4
Primary log file is not available for database 'TestDB' (7:0).  The log cannot be backed up.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.

Is there a way to do this? or SQL Server doesn't support this change.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio - Opening SQL-File From Explorer Does Not Connect Automaticly To Server/database

Apr 25, 2008

hello,

I have a question about opening files in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.

In the old Query Analyzer from SQL 2000 I can open SQL Files via drag & drop (from explorer to QA) or open it with a double click in the explorer. Then the Files opened, if I had actual a connection to a server / database (QA is stared with one file and has a connection to Server/Datebase), with this connection.

Now in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I'll be asked everytime for Server and have to get the database from the database list - it does not connect automaticly to server/database, that is actual connected (I have opened a file with the connection and a connected database in the object explorer).

Someone do not have this problem - but we found no option to set it up.

Any ideas?

thanks &
best regards,
Christian Kiedels

Tempdb.mdf Is Nota Primary Database File

Aug 6, 2007

I really needed to move the tempdb file to another hard drive, so I used this bit of code.

USE master
go

ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev, FILENAME = 'E: empdb.mdf')
go

ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = templog, FILENAME = 'E: emplog.ldf')
go

Now sql server manager won't even start. The log files says

"tempdb.mdf is not a privary database file. CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created.
WARNING: problem activiating all tempdb files. See previous errors."

Any ideas on how to make this program work again, without reinstalling it?

SQL Server Database Primary Data File

Aug 8, 2007



Hi Everone,
I need help on how to produce a SQL Server Database Primary Data File, i have read the Visual C# 2006 book by Deitel and Deitel unfortunately the book does not say how to produce the forementioned data file. The software that i currently have to help me produce this data file is Visual C#, J#, Web Development, SQL Server 2005 and Office 2007.

I have a good understanding of databases from studying SQL and Oracle but i am not sure which is the best software to use to produce the Primary Data File, ideally i would like to use Access from my Office 2007 package.

Many thanks for your help in resolving this problem.

Deploying SQL Express Database Files With ClickOnce App Using OLE

Jan 18, 2008



I've written a ClickOnce app that deploys a Sql Server Express data file (.mdf) and log file (.ldf) along with the other application files. SQL Express SP2 is a prerequisite for this app. After the applicaiton installs and starts up it copies these files to a specific folder and attaches them by calling the AttachDatabase() method of a Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server object.

This method works fine using Windows XP, however when I run it on Windows Vista I get the following exception:

Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FailedOperationException: Attach database failed for Server 'localhostSQLEXPRESS'. ---> Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Unable to open the physical file "C:WashMasterDatabasewasshmaster.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".

This exception occurs when I try to programmatically attach the database.

I've searched through the MSDN forums for a solution and I've only found two suggestions:

1.) Create all database connections using a User Instance.
2.) Create the database (using SQL) in the target folder, rather than copying it over from the deployment folder.

I don't like the idea of using User Instances because my entire data access layer is currently written using Ole and I would rather not rewrite it if I don't have to. I cannot find any way to use User Instances with Ole.

I also don't like the idea of creating the database using SQL because it is fairly large.

Here are my questions:

1.) Can User Instances be used with Ole?

2.) Can I somehow programmatically set the permissions of the copied data and log files so that SQL Express can access them without error?

3.) Is there a better method for doing what I'm trying to do or am I destined to have to either rewrite in data access layer so I can use User Instances or create my large database rather than copy it to the target directory?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I have to write a program in VB to receive the read data from a RFID reader for my graduation project.The problem is I am not a computer science student so I have only general info on programming.

I created my DB in VB express but I couldn't find out how to send the read data (that will be either in XML or ASCII format) to my database...The read data will be transferred to my computer by the RFID reader's software but after that I don'T know how to transfer it to my DB.As I know I have to use commands like read.xml etc,but no idea how write the complete program.

I checked the forum and couldn't find the answer,sorry if someone already answered my question and I missed it.



Thanks...

SQL 2012 :: DBCC Shrinkfile Empty File Not Distributing Data Evenly In Primary File Group With Multiple Files

Apr 29, 2014

Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:

Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.

This is what I set up last night on my test machine.

1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly

I would expect at this stage to have the following:

FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB

(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)

What I actually end up with is this:

FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB

It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.

AdventureWorks Database

Jun 3, 2007

I am unable to attach the AdventureWorks database in management studio. I installed it when I installed SQL Server 2005 but can not find the mdf or ldf files anywhere. When I inserted the installation disks again to do a custom instal, and selected AdventureWorks, the response came back that it was already installed. What do I need to do to be able to attache this db in the management studio?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Considerations... Backing Up IIS 6 Web Files And SQL Server 2005 Express Database

Mar 1, 2006

Anyone know of a good "free" way to back up web files and SQL Server 2005 Express Database?
I was able to use Windows Server 2003 Backup utility to back up the folder where the Databases were stored, as well as the web files, with no errors.
But I have heard a lot of discussion that you can't just simply backup SQL Server data files?
I'm wondering how sound the backup I've created is...
Any suggestions?
