Flustered... A Database With The Same Name Exists, Or Specified File Cannot Be Opened, Or It Is Located On UNC Share.
Dec 5, 2006
Hello everyone,
I have been playing with a Standard Version of VS 2005 and SSE 2005 and I just cannot get these two to interact together well. I am sure it is a noob problem but I have seen this error addressed on this forum and I am just not getting it. Here is exactly what I am doing.
I want to create a database within SSE using the Management Studio. Then, I want to connect to it with VS2005. Both SSE and VS2005 are local. I just cant seem to get this to work.
I always seem to get this error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataSecond.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
One thing... I create the website with Location: HTTP. I don't even know anymore why I do this.. I think because I like to be able to pull up a browser and get to my app. Other than that I am doing nothing special. However, I get the above error when I hit F5 to run the app inside VS2005.
Is there someplace where a complete noob can find a thorough and simple covering of this? Again, I have read through some of the previous posts on this and I don't understand too many of them and it seems as if there are at least 13 causes of which I don't know which one I have. Help!
Greetings, 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
I 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?
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42
This is the last statement on the Stack Trace:
SqlException (0x80131904): An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file e:wwwdata81d0493fwwwApp_DataTestDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.] System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) +735091
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:
with my ssis-package i have to read several flatfiles. this files are stored in different folders on a unix machine. in my loop-task i have first a script, that checks whether the file exists. it does, so i set the path to a variable. in the connection-manager for the flat-file i have set source for the file to that variable. the bulk-insert-task starts, read the file and everithing is cool. but, sometimes, the package fails with this message:
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot bulk load because the file "\Owpu0kas 0 0 5 eceivedw000005.090" could not be opened. Operating system error code 53(error not found)."
i stop the degugging-mode, restart debuging and what happens? it runs ... maybe for the next one, two or three files and the error comes again, but never on the same file. i'm going crazy, what can i do?
I'm exporting reports daily to a file share and I need to rename the reports with a pseudo time stamp.
Example: I have a report named "Disk Usage" and when I export (using a data-driven subscription) I want to rename it "Disk Usage - (Jan07)" - or something to that effect.
I'am doing functionality test on DTS packages and saving my DTS packages to meta data services instead of saving them as local packages. We would like to see what information would be provided by saving them this way, but when we try to open the meta data browser (the 3rd icon under DTS) we get the following error:
An error occurred while trying to access the database information. The msdb database could not be opened.

I am asked to create 100 procedures to a database. Any best way to create them in a database one by one by calling the files and saving the execution output files in a folder?
Hello,Could you explain me please the following error:"Database 'DemoDotNET' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files orinsufficient memory or disk space.

I opened SQL Server management studio and tried to connect with the local database and received the error message:
Database 'msdb' cannot be opened. It has been marked suspect.....
I have pasted the only error from the event log I could find below, but it doesn't mean much to me.
In the event I can't find what the problem is, and not being a database administrator, can anyone tell me what I can do to get back in working order without messing up all the databases in my SQL Server 2005. I'm afraid I only have a MASTER backup from several months ago, and am afraid if I use this, I will loose the latest data. I'm a novice, and do not understand the relationship of the master/msdb/model databases to my core custom databases. Can I do some sort of master rebuild without affecting the other databases I have?
I have tried sp_resetstatus but this didn't fix the problem, but it did enable me to actually connect to the SQL server instance so I could access all the other databases.
Many thanks Gerard
Event log error detail:
The log scan number (152:284:1) passed to log scan in database 'msdb' is not valid. This error may indicate data corruption or that the log file (.ldf) does not match the data file (.mdf). If this error occurred during replication, re-create the publication. Otherwise, restore from backup if the problem results in a failure during startup.
I have a stored procedure that is located in one database and I would like to have it execute against a different database. My problem is when I go to execute it, it is still executing against the database it is stored in. Is it possible to tell this stored procedure when it runs to execute its code against this second database?
This is what I have now, which isn't working:

Can someone please tell me what is meant by a file share?I'm doing a little reading on MS Sql Server and they talk about howyou can connect to the sql server through a named pipe.I'm guessing that a file share means a specific service running on aserver. Is this correct?The book says the following:When you connect to a file share you use a Universal Naming Conventionpath to a file server: \FILESERVERSharename.To connect to a named pipe, you connect to a share of the form:\COMPUTERpipesqlqueryThanks Hope you can clear this up for me.
Hi all, I'm kinda new at programming, and am currently attempting to create a web application. I have an error when I try to insert information into a sql server database, and can't find how to fix it no matter how hard I try. The error I get is: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user. I have it so a user is logged in and is shown a form to fill out, then submits it (which creates an insert statement and sends it to the database). My connection string is as follows: CnnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "data source=serverdestination;" + "User id=user;" + "Password=pass;"; If you need any more information, just let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am facing a issue with bulk upload on Test Server.
Issue: When running Openrowset command from SQL server other that Test Server query runs fine when trying to run the same command from Test Server it gives error.
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "\ServerNameinputFileName.csv" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
For example: If the command is run from System A connecting to SQL Server instance on Test Server Test Server it gives this error. If the same command with same rights is run from any other SQL server instance say Dev1 its running fine.
If the command is run from Test Server connecting to any SQL Server instance including Test Server it is running fine.
Tried: 1) Given the read/write rights on shared folder, to user under which the SQL server service is running on Test Server
2) Given the read/write rights on shared folder to everyone.
Query:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM OPENROWSET
(
BULK '\ServerNameinputFileName.csv',
FORMATFILE='\ServerNameFormat.xml'
)
AS FileList
Please provide me with some solution. What can be the reason for such behaviour?
I have a view saved on server - mhsvi-datawarehousedatawarehouse.This view, in it's TSQL connects to a databasethat is set up as a linked server. That server is mhsvi-sql2008ainstance1.When I try to add the view to Excel in order to automatically refresh for users as a report - I get the following error - (I get it as well)
The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened.Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make sure the external database is available and hasn't been moved or reorganized, then try the operation again.I have access to the database where the view is saved and the database that the TSQL calls.
Can anyone point out what's wrong with the following script? I wanted to print all the LOGFILE names in all databases which are not in SIMPLE recovery model. Thanks in advance.

I have tried using the <domain><user> username syntax. I have tried sending to multiple different machines. The only deployment that succeeded was to \localhostc$ est with administrator credentials entered into the Subscription (unacceptable, of course).
I've seen this issue raised on this forum at least twice, and neither was met with any ideas or answers. Has anyone encountered and overcome this issue?
If you are having trouble accessing Meta Data Services on W2k3 and SQL 2000 and get the error that the "msdb database could not be opened" I found that hot fix 912812 on the operating system is the culprit. Remove it and Meta Data goes back to working, although I am being asked to approve the ActiveX control every time the page refreshes.
Hope this helps somebody, to took me long enough to track it down.
If anyone has a resolution to the ActiveX question I'd love to know the answer.

In the "Choosing Between SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" white paper, i can read that: "SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition support data file storage on a network share" and "Number of concurrent connections = 256"
But when i try to connect with two different PC at the same time to a .sdf file store on a network share, i have an error message : "File is locked by an other processus"
The firsth PC is connected but the secondth can't
";Mode=Read Write" in the connection string don't change anything.
