I have a VBExpress 2008 application that uses LINQ to SQL to manipulate data in an SQLExpress 2005 database.
I successfully instatiate a DataContext object and examine its metadata through its .Mapping methods and properties. But when I attempt to set the DataSource for a BindingSource control to one of the tables, I get a run-time error.
Specifically:
Dim dc As New DiabetesData(My.Settings.DiabetesData_dbPath)
generates the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was unhandled
Class=14
ErrorCode=-2146232060
LineNumber=65536
Message="An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file SbearMedicalDiabetesDiabetesData2.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."

"SbearMedicalDiabetesDiabetesData2.mdf"
bsPrimary is a BindingSource on a form named frmEZView.
Public Class DiabetesData includes a property Public BGTests As Table(Of BGTest) and a subsequent definition of BGTest.
Attemping to reattach a recovered .mdf and associated .ldf from a crashed disk drive and I am getting the error below. I attempted to create a new db, stop the service, replace the new data files with the recovered db files and restarted the SQL service so that I could run a dbcc checkdb while the db was in suspect mode, however was unable to do this. This error leads me to belive that the log file needs to be rebuild, but that the mdf files could be a decent shape. Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks!

we lost a drive that was holding our log files for a database. I have the .mdf file from the database. So I'm trying to attach the database using just the mdf file but it fails because its still looking for the log file.
Bit of a SQL newbie, having taken over a support role for a piece of software that my firm sells. It is basically a DB that runs on MSDE or SQL Server in either desktop or enterprise scenarios.
We do sell our software to clients who may or may not already have SQL on their machines. During installation, it searches for sqlservr.exe for existing SQL installations and if it finds nothing, will then install MSDE 1.0 to house the db files.
My question is this -
I can manually create a db or manually attach an existing db through sql query analyser where there is a full-blown SQL installation. Is there any way I can do the same where there is only MSDE installed? The simple solution, I guess, would be to download one of the freeware or shareware MSDE "Enterprise Managers", but this won't always be suitable for a client installation.
there was a failure due to power shutdown,and the .mdf and .ldf files on the DB is not longer available. there is a backup done 5days ago with the title nice_cls.BAK. How do i restore or reattach the .bak file on the NICE-CLS database.
Hi there, I'm trying to attach a DB using a single MDF file. The file was not properly detached as our server had crashed suddenly neither was the a proper backup done..When I try to attach it says "the file you've specified is not a valid sql server database file" . But another database was restored using a MDF file without any problems ? Please do get back if anyone may get what the problem likely is ? It'd be of great help. Let me know if my problem was clear or if I've to put it in a different fashion.
Hiis it possible to attach a database when a log file is missing?My database had one .MDF file and 2 .LDFs. I lost one of the .LDFs. Is itpossible to recover any data?Tegie
Hi all, I have deleted the .ldf file now i am having only the .mdf file. Is it possible to attach the database without shutdown the sql server. Thanks.
How do I reattached a SQL server database if the log file was not backed up and none is available. Our server went belly up and the backups were only copying the *.MDF files. The log files were not being included in the backup for some reason.
I know in version 7.0 you could reattach with out the log file but I am having a more difficult time figuring out how to get around thin in SQL 2000. Anybody got any ideas???
we have a requirement to create a database of our application in client's system. and we assume that already MS Sql server is installed.
we have a .mdf file of our database. Is there any way I can attach .mdf file to the database using command line. so that I can write a batch file and run that batch to create the database in our client's system.

I have a dataflow task that creates a text file and posts it in a FTP share. In need to rename the file attaching datestamp(current date of package execution) at the end of filename. For ex: My dataflowtask creates a file called 'Samplename.txt'
I need to rename it to : 'Samplename20080225.txt.
I think it can be done using the File task...I see an option to rename the file but not sure of how to configure the task to attach current datestamp.
I see some suggestions online, but complete steps on how to implement the above would be highly appreciated.
I have been asked to edit a web based database and have been given the site on cd. I have installed IIS, sql server express and Visual Web Developer express. I am having problems getting the mdf database connected. It works at the school where they have it installed and as far as I know I have mirrored the configuration they have on one of my test servers. The database is in App_Data the connection string is "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=c:inetpubwwwrootApp_Datacampbell.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" And the state is closed. When I view one of the aspx pages in IE I get the following.

We've tried attaching the mdf files given to us by some customers using the script they've provided, too.
I created the database with the corresponding names, and tried to run their script. However, I get the message "The media family on device 'D:DatabaseDVVAD01.mdf' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family."
What could possibly have gone wrong? Is it also possible that the file was not properly detached, or what?
I was getting following error while creating a database or attaching a database to sql server 2005
"The file <<*.mdf>> is compressed but does not reside in a read-only database or filegroup.."
In this scenario, if you try sp_attach_db procedure, you get following error: Msg 5118, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
After little bit of troubleshooting, I found this was happening because of a folder option (of the folder where database file reside (in case of attach) or being created (in case of create)).
Go to folder properties, General Tab, click on Advanced button,check "Compress or Encrypt attributes" section. If the first option (Compress contents to save disk space) is checked, you get that error. Uncheck it to fix that problem.
I'm trying to attach a database file and it's associated database log file to SQL Server. However I am using the 'SQLDataRoot' value from the registry to determine the absolute path to the DB file and DB log file. Like so...
USE [master]
DECLARE @RC int
/* read path to SQL Server Express Data directory from registry */ DECLARE @sql_server_data_dir sysname EXEC @RC = master..xp_regread N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',N'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup',N'SQLDataRoot', @sql_server_data_dir OUTPUT SET @sql_server_data_dir = @sql_server_data_dir + N'Data'
CREATE DATABASE [PROJECT_DB] ON (FILENAME = '''' + @sql_server_data_dir + 'PROJECT_DB.mdf'''), (FILENAME = '''' + @sql_server_data_dir + 'PROJECT_DB_log.ldf''') FOR ATTACH;
GO
I have also tried using the sp_attach_db stored procedure as follows
I am very new to SQL and just completed an install of SQL 2005 Express. After install, I downloaded the Adventure Works database and attempted to attach through both the Object Browser (right-click 'Databases'--->'Attach') and by running the script that is located on the SQL download page where I got the Adventure Works db.
Here's the error that I get:
"Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 8, object ID 1, Index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes."
I have attempted to go through the help files, but unfortunately the above message is too cryptic for me and I have no idea what it's telling me.
I guess I messed up somehow, but I am not sure how to fix this.
On Vista, with SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition, I created a 6GB database and loaded it up with data. I then decided that I wanted to burn a copy of the files, so I detached (no problem.) But when I wanted to copy the physical MDF and LOG file to another folder. Vista said I did not have access to the folder, but if I hit continue, no problem--it would correct the situation. I did. I copied the files (no problem), but now when I go to reattach to the MDF (that is still in the Data folder), I get a "CREATE FILE encountered operating system 5 (Access is denied)" error. I checked permissions and SQL Server has full rights. I am the only user on the system (Admin), and the files do not appear to have anything weird set (read only, advanced permissions, etc.)
What did I do wrong? And how do I fix this? Oh the joys of advanced Vista security features Even the admin is locked out now.
I have been working on a website in Visual Studio 2005 Pro using the MS SQL Server that comes with VS. I have tried Attaching those MDF files in Visual Studio to the SQL Server Express Management but it wont let me, get an error::

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:

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.
I'm learning to use BIDS, and have been going through the exercise in Chapter 19 of the book Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration Services. I'm probably in over my head with this since I've never used any SQL services/software before, but the company I'm interning at wants to build a workflow using SSIS, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, I volunteered to train myself for the task. I'm at a part in the book exercise where I'm editing one of the components of a Data Flow task - an OLE DB Destination. When I try to select the table/view in the editor for this, it gives me the following error:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsgroseMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsCase Study ExerciseCase Study ExerciseCase Study.database failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.?
When I googled this, most people seemed to be getting it through other SQL software, so I'm not sure if the error has the same cause or not. I know that the file in the above error message already exists, but I don't understand why the task editor won't just let me select a database that already exists so I can complete the component. Can anyone explain this to me?
I have SQL Express 2005 SP2 installed in my Vista Home Premium. I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express to manage .mdf.
When I click "Add..." to attach .mdf database, I have this prompt error message :
The server principal "My-PCMyName" is not able to access the database "model" under the current security context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916)
I have elevated the rights, "Run as administrator", of my SQL Server Management Studio Express, but still having problem.
I also encounter security error when detaching the existing .mdf : The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_detach_db', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
if i have a given database (a model) and i want to copy this database in the same database instance. Is it ok to copy the mdf and ldf file and attach the files with a new database name in the same instance.
I have an File System Task that copies a file from one directory ot another. When I hard code the target directory (c:dirfile.txt) it works fine. When I change it to a virtual directory (\serverdirfile.txt) I get a security error:
