File Auto Expand
Jan 9, 2008In SQL 2005, when a file is expanded because of the auto expand option turned on, is this recorded anywhere (each time it expands)?

Auto-expand Drill-downs On Print
Feb 6, 2008
Yet another newbie question here in my quest to learn reporting services.
Is there a property I can set to automatically expand all drill-downs when a user goes to print a report? As it is now all the drill-downs remain collapsed when the user goes to print, which is problematic on large reports where there may be many records between groupings (users may expand one group containing 1000's of records, and then decide to simply print everything -- but they'll only get the expanded data -- I'd like to expand everything automatically and have it all print.)
Thanks,
DBCC Srhinkfile Didn't Shrink The File But Expand The Database Instead!!
Apr 6, 2001I have a 2.8G SQL 7 database with 1.6G used space. I want to shrink it to 1.8G, but after I issued the 'DBCC srhinkfile(datafile, 1800)', it didn't shrink the file, instead it expanded to 2.7G used space? I tried on a test server, the command worked every time although the time to complete the task tended to increase every time.
I did the DBCC DBREINDEX (fill factor 90) and updated usage, the size didn't change. DBCC CHECKDB, CATELOG AND SHOWCONTIG were all performed and there wasn't any error or fragmentation.
Now I'm wondering what's the actual size of my database, 1.6G or 2.7G? If there's a way that I can get back close to my original used sized, then I can try to shink the file again. Any comment is welcome. Thanks advance.
An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File (file Location).../Database.mdf Failed. A Database With The Same Name Exists, Or Specified File Cannot Be Opened, Or It Is Located On UNC Share.
Sep 2, 2007Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J
RESOLVED RESOLVED An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File &&<file String&&> Failed &&>&&>&&> But ONLY After SSE Reinstall
Sep 16, 2007RESOLVED RESOLVED RESOLVED
DOH! When I rebuilt the OS, I changed the data partition ID's, and didn't remember to change them in the connetion strings
Not great, but better than continuing to bang head against wall.
Would like to say to MS appreciators that the VS2005 reinstall actually went quite well, considering.
===========================================================================
I built an app, works fine. Had the development environment working fine (VS2005 (SP0) and SQL Server Express). It had been stable for months, no problem.
Then I had to reinstall XP Pro...(finally threw too many conflicting programs into it, I guess...)
I managed to get VS2005 reinstalled ok. However, when I opened and compiled my existing app in VS2005, using Cassini, I got the dreaded error:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file <file string> failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I also get this error for the compiled copy of the app on the same machine, running on IIS. (Where it also previously worked fine).
The Connection strings are all of the form
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=(specific file string).MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
I appreciate that there are zillions of posts on this issue. I'm hoping that someone might know why this should happen in this particular case.
The thing that's different about this case is that the app was working fine; I have the app deployed on a demo machine and also on a remote server as well as on the development machine.
The only thing that changed is that there was this fresh install of SQL Server Express.
I tried using >> sp_configure user instances enabled','1';RECONFIGURE <<< in SSMSEE, which took, but didn't help.
So something is different in SSE. Since the app is stable everywhere else, I REALLY don't want to go through and adjust the connection strings...MUCH better to figure out what SSE needs to be happy with the existing connection strings...as it was before.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT----TRIED SOME THINGS:
Changed folder and file permissions to allow ASPNET full access to the .mdf's and log files (though never had to do this before on the development machine.) No change...
Can see the table contents within the .mdf through SSMSE, and also through Server Explorer in VS2005.
So because the problem happens with both IIS and Cassini, I'm assuming it's got to be an issue between ASPNET and SSE.
EDIT --- TRIED SOME MORE THINGS:
I dimly remember that when I had this problem before, it was that the error message was too "dumb". It wasn't my file that had the permissions problems, it was that the SSE System Databases had to have permissions with respect to ASPNET.
I tried to set that up but I'm a complete newb on this area, so I don't know if I did it right. In SSMSE I created a Login for MyComputer/ASPNET, and gave it all permissions and roles, and then made it an owner for the four system databases...but no joy.
Any pointers on this last piece would be helpful.

Mar 24, 2006I know allot of folks are having this problem and I tried lots of things but nothing works. I understand the problem is coping the SQL Express on another server is the problem - I just not sure what to do?

I checked my server forum and they said I had to name a database:
Example: Database=(unique name);
But this didn't work either.
I just tried a simple web project that has only one database and one table in SQL Express with one sqldatasource and one datagrid. It works fine on my pc but when I use the copy function in Visio Studio 2005 Pro - I can't run the site on the remote server: www.myjewelrydirect.com
I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TestDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
With all the comments in these forums - this must be a bug.
I have been working on this problem for over 2 weeks - HELP!
Log File Auto Shrink Question
Nov 18, 2004Hi, I am trying to automate shrinking the transaction log file on SQL server.
Every so often we get errors with our application using SQL server, in which I resolve by running the backup log and shrink log commands. However, recently I got the error: Could not allocate space for object 'table_name' in database 'database_name' because the 'Primary' file group is full. To resolve this I had to create another transaction log and then run the backup log and shrink log commands.
I know need to automate the process of shrinking the log file. I have checked and the Auto Shrink checkbox is ticked but these errors still occur.
How can I delete the additional log file I created and automate this task of shrinking the log file within SQL server? Any help would be appreciated...Thanks
Log File Auto Shrink (Yes) Is Good Option?

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.
An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File......
Nov 14, 2006I've read through all the posts in this fourm that are related to the problem I'm getting with this error message on my main form, but none of the fixes seen to solve the problem. So I hope someone can get me pointed in the right direction.
I'm running visual studio 2005 professional, and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and this is a desktop application. I added the db file to the solution with the Add New Data Source wizard, I can create the datasets and preview the data correctly.

Error An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File
Aug 1, 2006Hi,
I've just created my first projects using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005 Express. This is the basic;
One windows service is created that updates a database. The windows service running under "Local system" account
One windows application where a user can see data (and change) from the database
A common business and dataaccess layer/project is used by both applications
Connection string to the database: "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DataDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=60;User Instance=True"
Both application is located in the same directory. When the computer starts the windows service starts and works perfectly. But when a user starts the windows applications the following error is reported "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file..A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share".
It look likes that only one of my application can connect to the database at a time!
Is it possible to use separate applications to connect to the same database file?

Error An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File
Jan 17, 2007Hello,
I have seen some solutions of which I tried on this form for the error I am receiving, but I still cannot get the issue resolved.
Here is my case:
I developed an app using SQL Express as the local data source. I published it to my server using the Once Click install feature. When I look in my project viewer, under settings, My db connection strings are listed as follows: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TAP_Master.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
From another computer, I navigate to the publish site, install and run the application with no problems. I have on another computer, the same app with an updated version number that I wish to publish, however the difference is is that this published version does not include the database as I do not want the end user to overwrite any existing data that they may have from the previous version.
I publish the updated version, install it but when the app runs, I receive the message, "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file".
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
SQL 2012 :: SSMS Auto-recovery / Auto-save New (unsaved) Queries
Feb 16, 2014Since upgrading from SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2, I've noticed that it no longer autosaves queries that have not been manually saved first. If a file has been manually saved the autorecover files end up in the following directory:
%appdata%MicrosoftSQL Server Management Studio11.0AutoRecoverDatSolution1
However, I have ended up in the situation where I have unsaved queries when my computer has crashed and have not been able to recover them.
I have also found references to .sql files stored in temp files in the following directory, but the files here seem to be very haphazardly caught:

Expand Tempdb Database
Dec 8, 1999Hi,
I need to expand tempdb database. The users keep getting this error
when they try to do a sort:
SQL Server message(1510): state 2
Sort failed. Out of space or locks in database 'tempdb'
Also in the error log I am getting these errors:
Error 1105, Severity: 17, State: 1
Can't allocate space for object '-641' in database 'tempdb'because
the 'system' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the
transaction log. Otherwise use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to
increase the size of the segment.
What I am wondering is if expanding tempdb will fix the problem, or is
there another fix that I should be looking at.
Any direction you could give me on this would be appreciated. I have very
little experience with SQL 6.5
Thanks in advance
Phil
How Can I Print What I See After I Expand A Drill Down?
Jun 14, 2007I've created a report with drill downs that are hidden initially. While viewing the report in preview, I'll expand the drill down to see the data.
If I go and print the report, the report is printed as collapsed (which is the initial setting) rather than expanded (which i expanded in the preview).
Is there a way to print in the "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" kinda way expanding and collapsing drill downs?
Thanks in advance!
Expand All/Collapse All In Snapshots
Mar 28, 2007I posted last year about getting and Expand All/Collapse All link working in reports, and it does work perfectly for on-demand reporting. I was able to get these working using the boolean report parameter and then the Jump to Report option going back to itself changing that parameter.
The issue that I have just discovered is that when a report with these Expand All/Collapse All links are in a report snapshot, clicking those links will cause it to re-render the report from the datasource at the time the link is clicked. This is an issue for one of the datasources we are using because the data is always changing, so when it goes back to re-render the counts and data returned are completely different then they were when the snapshot was first created. As time goes on the data will no longer even be in the datasource since it can only maintain 4 months of data.
Is there another way to get all detail groups to expand/collapse at once that does not require the report to be completely re-rendered from the datasource?
Global Expand And UnExpand
Oct 1, 2007
I would like to have a report that globally sets the visibility (or expanding and unexpanding) of a group. Right now, I have the + and - signs for a group, but have to select each on individually in the report.
Thanks,

Can Not Expand MSDB Folder
Jul 23, 2007Hi!
I am trying to deploy a package to SQL. However, when I open Integration services I can not expand MSDB folder. Error is; SQL Server specified in SSIS service configuration is not present or available.... Login time expired .....(MsDTSSrvr)
I have found post here that says MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file needs to be changed from
<Name>MSDB</Name>
<ServerName>.</ServerName>
to
<Name>MSDB</Name>
<ServerName>MyServerName</ServerName>
I tried MyServerName - does not work. I also tried value from connecting to Database Engine ( MyServerNameSQL2K5LOCAL) - does not help either.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, I need some documentation on deploying packgaes using File System.
I have saved Copy of the Package as File System location.
When I doubleclick the .dtsx file, Connection Manager holds my local SQL info. Goal is to deploy this to Development and other environments. Can this be handled some other way so I do not have to modify this file on every environment?
Also, this Execute Utility Package says at the top to use this utility to run SSIS on local computer.
So far, help on MSoft sites did not really help me a lot.
this is what I am using:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: IDE Standard
SQL Server Analysis Services
Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Designer
Version 9.00.2047.00
SQL Server Integration Services
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer

Expand The Document Map Nodes
Feb 15, 2007I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this. Is there any way that you can have a document map in SQL Reporting Services expand on load, or if there is a way to programmatically set the Document Map nodes to be expanded when a report is generated.
Thanks in advance for your help

Can't Expand User Database Tables
Dec 5, 2007We have a person who CAN connect to a named instance in SQL Server Management Studio. There is nothing in the log for a failed login for him. However, when he tries to expand the Tables folder under the only user database in the instance, he gets the error: Failed to retrieve data for this request (Microsoft.SQLServer.SmoEnum). Additional Information: An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. Select permission denied on object 'extended_properties',database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'(Microsoft SQL Server, Error:229).
He is trying to expand the Tables folder under a database named ADSALLDB. He can see the folder as well as the other folders (i.e. Views, Synonyms, Programmability,etc.), but can't expand any of them. He can expand the folders under the system databases.
Other uses set up just like him can connect. He is set up with read/write access to the database ADSALLDB. He can expand the system databases.
This is a named instance in a 6 node cluster. SQL Server 2005 SP1 Build Level 2221.
Thank you for any help.
Database Server Will Not Expand Mdf Or Ndf Files
Jul 23, 2005Has anyone had an issue with SQL Server not being able to expandagainst a RAID 5 file system? My current configuration is that theserver is started and stopped using the local system account. I haveonly one database (besides the master, model,etc)on the server. Whathas happend to me several times is that the primary database inquestion try's to expand the main datafile for the database (.mdf). Isetup the database to not expand automatically initially so that I canbe sure that we have enough file system space. Becuase of problems withthe application I decided to automatically expand. The other day thedevelopers came to me indicating that the databse was full and neededto be expanded. Knowing that the database was in automatic expandingmore I was surprise to hear this. I went into EM and attempted toexpand first the log and it would not indicating that it there was anissue in attempting to do so. I have never heard of a database notbeing able to expand. I ran DBCC's, etc and it came up clean. I triedto back the database up to disk and it would not backup. I finally hadto rename the datbase and rebuild it using DTS and scripts. I thoughtI had fixed it only to find out today that it (again) won't expand. Irenamed the datbase and then tried taking an older backup file andrestore it and it would not restore. This problem seems to be relatedto the file system but how I do not know.So, I am ready to run rebuild master but I have sone this before onlyto have this come back on me. I am at a complete loss. In the past Ihave had to rebuild the entire server and database from scratch. Theonly problem is that this has been done 3 times now with no completesolution or explaination. If any of you have seen this type ofbehavior and know whats going on please, please let me know what youthink the case and solution is!
View 8 Replies View RelatedConditional Expand/Collapse Of Groups
Dec 21, 2007Hi All,
I have a report that is grouping phone calls by "Category" (Outgoing, Incoming, Voicemail, etc). When the report is rendered, each category (along with totals) is shown and the details (each actual call) are hidden. Using toggling, I allow the user to burst open any category to view all of the call details.
I join the query for this report so that even if a category has 0 calls for the day, it is still shown. When expand a category with no calls I get a blank record (as I should, because there are no call details).
The question I have is ... Can I have the toggle be conditional? Can I have the ability to toggle thr group only when there are call details? Can I have the + to the left of the category name not be shown?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Merry Christmas!!!

Problems With Group Collapse/expand
Feb 27, 2007On one of my reports, the +/- for expand/collapse of groups is reversed -- i.e. when the group is expanded it displays "+" and when the group is collapsed it displays "-". The display of the document map is correct.
Has anyone else had this problem?
thx
