Device Activation Error
Apr 5, 2007Hi All,
Currently I have a PC that has MSDE installed on it and is attached to database (MyData.MDF and a log file MYLog.LDF) located on its hard drive at c:data. When I detach from the database, place a copy of the two files noted above on my network drive @ u:data and try to attach I get the following error€™s:
SQL[1] exec error = -1: Changed database context to 'master'.
€œDevice activation error. The physical file name u:dataMyData.MDF may be incorrect.€?
I have done some testing a have found that I can attach to a copy of my database if I move it anywhere on the c: drive, and or even to a 1Gb USB key attached to the system(e:). So far it seems to only be an issue if I move it to a mapped network drive. If anyone could please provide me with any info it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Device Activation Error On Sp_attach_db To Local Drive
Apr 25, 2007Here is the error, I receive:
Msg 5105, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'L:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOGTestDB_Log.LDF' may be incorrect.

Here is my attach script:

@filename1 = N'S:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataTestDB.MDF',
@filename2 = N'L:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOGTestDB_Log.LDF'
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?

Transaction Log Physical Device
Mar 18, 2008Are there any problems or issues with backing up a transaction log to a physical file with the ".bak" extension? We are having some trouble with are hourly trans log backups and I was wondering if this could be part of the problem. Tom.

Sep 5, 2006I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
Any way I can recover it?

Help - Error: Unable To Open The Physical File
May 17, 2007Hi, I've just finished creating my first ASP.NET website. I created it on my laptop and it works perfectly, but I'm having some problems deploying it to my web server (PC).The site works ok, but when I try to log in to my client area, I get this error:
"Unable to open the physical file "c:inetpubwwwrootONeillStrataApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:inetpubwwwrootONeillStrataApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I've searched far and wide for a solution and have read many articles, but none seem to be able to fix my problem. I've tried using that SEUtil tool, but that didn't work, I've made sure the App_Data directory on the web server isn't read only (the read-only checkbox isn't ticked, but it DOES have that little green square which I can't get rid of), I've assigned the ASPNET user as a db owner and that didn't work and I've manually attached the database to the web server's instance of SQL Express 2005.When I launch the solution in VS2005 on the web server, I can browse through the database and see the tables and data etc, but when I try to run the application, I get that message above...
Surely it shouldn't be this hard to get it going?Any help would be massively appreciated.
Unable To Open The Physical File. Operating Error
May 9, 2006Hi.. !!
I am working in a C# database application quick test where I basically use two types of access to an SQL Server Express database.
In the first part of the code, I use the traditional connection declaring a SqlConnection. When I just use only this kind of connection I do not have any problem. The issue starts when I access to the same database using Data Bindigs at the same time. When I start the application I got and error as soon as the instruction goes to open the data base connection.
The reported error is "Unable to open the physical file "<Niños.mdf>". Operating System Error 32: (Process does not have access to the file because is being using by another process)"
For additional information my connection string is:
"Data Source = localhost\SQLExpress; Initial Catalog = Niños; Integrated Security = True; User Instance = false"
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem?
Thanks
Alfredo.

Hi,
We have a very severe issue in our production, and this is very very ugent to fix this issue, there was a job started on server on 10th October, 2007, for backup of database of 3.2 TB, which caused this issue on 18th October, 2007.
I cancelled that job and even restarted the server, but still there is same issue on the server.
I am using this command to expand the physical file,

SQL Server 2008 :: Backup To Device / UNC File / Generates OS Error
Aug 11, 2009It's OS / SQL related. I backup to a UNC device, and frequently get a network related error - but not always. And the error is also OS related...
The scene: 64 bit Windows Server 2008 hosts 64 bit SQL 2008 Standard, and devices are created to point to 64 Server 2008 Server B (ServerBSQL_backupsdvc_DB.bak). The database is backed up daily, on a job, and when run the following error is returned:

The file is generated, the same size as a successful backup, but the job terminates unsuccessful.I have tried to delete the devices' file, and then the backup usually succeeds. This may point to a permissions' type error, but the user the job is run under is a domain admin. The destination server is not unavailable during this time, and the network shares also remain active throughout the excersize - although I haven't got a way to "prove" this.
I have a few databases that backup to the UNC described above (different files) that don't fail..My SQL2000 server backs up it's databases to the SQL2008 server, and those backups don't fail with this error.
My research has led me to understand that the 64bit OS tries to buffer the files it receives from another server, and I was wondering if this could be influencing the backups as the destination server is also 64 bit Windows Server 2008.
##20090812## UPDATE
I tried another way to do the backup; with the same results:
Backup database Infovest to disk = '

Unable To Open The Physical Mdf File Or Log File Because It Is Being Used By Another Process
Dec 4, 2007
Unable to open the physical mdf file or log file because it is being used by another process
I am trying to write a Windows Application using ASP.NET 2.0, C#2005 EXPRESS, and SQL 2005 EXPRESS.
I had followed the introductory video to create a connection to the Database using Windows Authentication, and use the wizard to create a dataset and checking all the tables in the database.
After that I dragged a table from the data source created from the above process. The Details Grid so created is able to perform update, delete and addition of records.
But when I went back to the database at my PC I wasn€™t able to connect to the database. And if I opened the database first and then load the windows application and perform some database operations and went back to the physical database I wasn€™t able to open the tables in the database.
The error message is that the physical database connection cannot open the .mdf file or log file because another process is using the database. I guess it refers to the Windows Application.
Is this normal? Will it have any implications after the application is deployed? I suppose that there isn€™t a scenario where a Windows application and a physical process will access the database at the same time.
Will appreciate some feedback and advice on this scenario and whether it is a problem.
Thanks and regards

How would I modify the physical file name from (e.g.) Tutorial.mdf to SATutorial_data.mdf?

Error Handling In Activation Procs
May 23, 2007I am kinda curious how the rest of you are doing your error handling inside your activation stored procedures...best practices says you should not rollback the part of your transaction that receives the record off of the queue...but using a try...catch block will only allow you to rollback the entire transaction. I tried using savepoints and starting the try...catch after the savepoint and the proc still gives me the error: "
The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot be rolled back to a savepoint. Roll back the entire transaction." when the error scenario is encountered.
I tried using @@Error and checking for errors at the statement level which would allow me to do a partial rollback, but the type of errors I receive (i.e. invalid data types etc) are aborting the entire batch instead of passing the error and continuing.
Can other people on this forum using service broker give me an idea of how you are getting around this issue?

Does anyone have any suggestions?????
Unable To Open The Physical File.....
Apr 7, 2006Hi, i'm trying to interface a c# application with an sql database created with Visual Web Developer Express.
I have published the site (and the db) on iis 5 (xp pro).
Everithing goes fine on accessing the database from internet,but when i try to connect the db while it's opened with my c# program i keep an error in the sqlconnection open command:
Unable to open the physical file "C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The file is in use by another process.)".
My connection string from webconfig:
<add name="MYDBCS" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database="C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
.....and the connection string for the c# program:
"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=c:myapp_datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=False;Connect Timeout=30;User ID=abc;Password=abc;Trusted_Connection=False;";
I have used a user to connect the database because there was a conflict trying to open the db with Integrated Security=True.
Does anyone have an idea where is the error?
Many thanks

Actual Physical File Size
Jun 21, 2004Hi Everybody,
I like to compute the actual physical database file size using queries.
From the EM database properties, the file size shown is not matching with the master..sysaltfiles.size
Ex. Actual file size is 12MB and 1MB for MDF & LDF respectively.
'sysaltfiles' shows 1464 & 96 resp. Since they are shoing it as 8K Pages,
96*8 = 768KB is not matching with 1024KB for the LDF file.
Is there any overheads (additional space from the physical file for file headers) allocated?
Thanks

Multiple Backslashes In Physical File Name
Oct 2, 2006Accidentally, I've managed to have this as part of a Create Database:
... FILENAME = N'C:MSSQLData\ estdb_Log.LDF' ...
, notice the triple backslash. The Create Database statement works fine,
and sp_helpdb says the log file name is:
C:MSSQLData\ estdb_Log.LDF
I noticed the MSDOS command prompt also allows multiple backslashes,
they're reduced to one when performing the command and I guess
SQL Server does the same thing, so no problem so far really.
But is it supposed to work this way? Quite confusing, isn't it?
Using DMO To Restore To New Database And Physical File
Mar 19, 2004I have been trying to use DMO(C++) to backup a database and then restore from that backup to a new db name AND physical data and log files, with no success. I have been able to successfully restore the backup to the same database and change the physical file names using the RelocateFiles property on the Restore object, but not change both.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Move Log File To Another Physical Disk
Jul 13, 2007Hi everyone,
Due to running out of disk space and reducing I/O contention, I plan to seperate data files and log files to different disk arrays.
My plan is to
- detach all databases
- copy log files to another disk
- attach all databases
The total size of log files is about 60GB. It becomes a problem becasue it spend too much time passing files. To reduce down time, is there any way I can do?
Can I just create new log files and remove the current files by using sql management studio?
any other suggestions? Thanks in advance
Unable To Open Physical File ...
Apr 24, 2008Using SQL Server 2005 Express SP2.
Scenario : I have VC++ 2005 Express IDE open and use the database explorer to browse tables in a database. Then I open SQL Server Managament Studio Express and try to browse the same database. I get "Unable to open the physical file ... The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
What is this "other process" that is trying to open the file? I thought the whole point of a database server was that clients talk to the server, and the server accesses the physical file. So only one process should be accessing the file. Do VC++ IDE and SSMSE work directly with the physical file, or do they channel their requests, etc. through the server.
Or is it something completly different?
Thanks,
Russel Dirks

I want to manage this applications .mdf database using microsoft sql server management studio express(iam running sql express with advanced services) which means i have to attach the database to Ms sql server managemet studio express tool.
What i dont know is if i should attach the .mdf file in the physical folder's App_Data folder at C:myapplicationFolderApp_data or the .mdf file in the virtual directory under C:InetpubwwwrootMyapplicationFolderApp_Data
I dont know which of the two i should attach. Where exactly is the running database, the .mdf file in the physical folder or the .mdf file in the virtual directory under wwwroot.

then I run this LOG restore:
RESTORE LOG ReportServer
FROM DISK='\MYMACHINEe$BackupsReportingServicesReportServerLog.bak'
WITH NORECOVERY, FILE=2,
MOVE 'ReportServer2005' TO
'G:DataReportServer.mdf',
MOVE 'ReportServer2005_log' TO
'J:LogsReportServer_Log.ldf';
GO
Msg 4038, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot find file ID 2 on device '\MYMACHINEe$BackupsReportingServicesReportServerLog.bak'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
I see file ID 2 identifying the log file. I've never done a restore like this - using copy_only and backing the database and log into separate .bak files, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something here.
Thanks for any help

Sdf File From Visual Studio To Device...
Sep 21, 2007A device solution I'm working on at the moment involves SQL compact. It is added to the currently selected project in VS2005 when I click on "Add New Data Source". The particular project it is added to within the solution is just a class library project (dll) which uses the database. The startup project on the other hand includes the windows forms etc. The problem I'm finding is that when the sdf file in the dll project is set to "copy always" or "copy if newer" it is not copied to the device at all. If I ensure that the sdf file is included in the startup project as "copy always" or "copy if newer", it does copy over to the device. Is this a bug or a feature?
