How Many Open Connections Does SQL Server 2005 Express Allow To .mdf File
May 17, 2007Hi Guys, how many connections does sql 2005 express allow to .mdf file. I stumpled on info on a microsoft site (actually a forum post on msdn) that sql server express allows only a single connection to an .mdf file.
Iam intrested in this because i developed reporting services reports in BIS and iam having problems. If i run a report from report manager, i have to wait for close to 20 minutes before i can be able to run my asp.net application agian. Else if i insert data or retrieve data from my asp.net application, then i have to wait again for 20 minutes or more before i can be able to run my reports else i will get an error that a connection can not be made to the database or that the database is being used by another process.
So in all cases, i have to wait for 20--30 minutes before a connection can be made to the .mdf file. i.e after running a report or after inserting or retrieving data from the database through my asp.net application.
Iam using sql sever 2005 express with advanced services and visual web developer on windows server 2003.
Any ideas or help.

Why Cannot Sql Server Open The File
Dec 1, 2006I created a comma-seperated text file by exporting an Access table. I tried to bulk insert into into a SQL Server table using the following code:

ROWTERMINATOR = '',

Using A Link To Open A .csv File On A Server
Feb 5, 2008I have a report that returns a field with the location of a .csv file on the network. The value of the field looks like this:

I need to let the user click a link to open the file. Simply making the Jump To Url under navigation the field value doesn't work; it's not clickable. I've tried a javascript new window command, but I'm no good at javascript.
All my google results turn up unrelated items because I'm searching "ssrs open file" or "ssrs open file in windows explorer".
Any ideas?

SQL Server 2008 :: Unable To Open Database File (MDF)
May 6, 2015I have a SQL Server 2005 database file (a .mdf file) that I am trying to open in SQL Server Management Studio so I can add a field to a table, but I am unable to open the file. I can't say that I really understand how SQL Server handles these databases. I especially don't understand the "attaching" and "detaching" operations.
I am working in VB.Net 2008 now, but my background is with VB6 using the JET engine. It was just so straightforward using the JET engine, but seems so much more complicated with SQL Server. I am trying to use .mdf files the same way I used .mdb files. I want my application to find the database file, "attach to it", and let me manipulate it.
At one time I was able to open my database in Sql Server Management Studio and edit the design of the database. The application still works but I am no longer able to modify the database because I cannot attach to it in Management Studio.
Here is a big clue: the files are no longer in the special folder anymore, which is c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA. I might have deleted the files, stupidly, thinking they were redundant. I still have the .mdf file (and the _log.ldf file) on my hard drive and the application can still open it, but when I try to use Management Studio to attach to the .mdf file, I get this error:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details.
here are the details:
Unable to open the physical file "c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAHEALSExamsSQL.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Indeed the file is not there, but why is Mgmt Studio looking there? Why doesn't it just open the file where it is? What can I do to get it back? I even copied the files to c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA? I get the same error.
Here is another clue: In Management Studio, when I right-click Databases, and chose Attach, it brings up a dialog. There I click "Add" to get another dialog in which I will select a database, but before the dialog appears I get this error:
Locate Database Files - KURANT-WIN7SQLEXPRESS
C:UsersJason KurantDesktop
Cannot access the specified path or file on the server. Verify that you have the necessary security privileges and that the path or file exists.
If you know that the service account can access a specific file, type in the full path for the file in the File Name control in the Locate dialog box.

View 9 Replies View RelatedCannot Open Company File In Office Accounting - SQL Server Problem?
Jan 10, 2008 Hi guys,
I recently installed Office Accounting 2007 Professional on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SQL Server 2005 (installed on an existing instance) and updated Office Accounting with service pack 1. However, after I have created the company file, other users were unable to open it. The error message was "The company could not be opened. Please ensure the SQL Server exists, the service is running and access has been granted."
Below are some of the stuff I had done, but still cannot solve the problem:
- Under "Manage users and roles", I granted full control to all users in the AD.
- Made the company.sbc as well as the multiuser.sbc file available to everyone on the server's shared drive.
- Granted full control to all users in the AD for the above mentioned shared drive.
- Copied the company.sbc and multiuser.sbc files onto all client computers.
- Ensured that SQL Server is running.
- Checked the security options for the linked database to ensure all users have the necessary rights.
- Enabled TCP/IP and named pipes as well as the port 5356 and have restarted the services.
- Added port 5356 as an exception in Windows firewall on all client computers.
- I even switched off Windows Firewall on the server just to eliminate this possibility!
- Tried everything listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910012
I still get that error message on all client computers!!! What else have I left out? God bless me...

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Cannot Open Data File When Running Agent Job
Apr 30, 2015I recently installed standalone version of SQL 2014 Standard on my work computer. I used Access before but I want to use a SQL server instead.
We have a shared drive that a file gets deposited every day at midnight. I want to be able to get this file and import it to the server (its basically a list of names).
Here what I have done so far:
I created the database
Created the file and successfully imported data into it using the Import Data feature.
I saved the SSIS package
Scheduled an Agent Job for this package to run at certain time,daily
At first the jobs would fail with a Access is Denied. I added a user under Credentials with my network account ( have admin rights on the work computer).Also added a Proxy for the Credential user I made.
Jobs fail with a “Cannot open data file” error. I tried changing things here and there, but I can’t get it to work.
Cannot Open Data File Error While Running SSIS Package Through SQL Server Job
Mar 10, 2008
Hi,
I created a SSIS package which will generate an output file and place it on a remote fileshare location which will look something like this
\RemoteServerNameRemoteFilePath
The package is executing fine when I am executing it through BIDS or through execute package utility and writing the output file to remote file share location.
I created a SQL job for the package and ran the Job. Then, its throwing an error saying

SQL Server To Generate XML Instead Of Redendant Query..file Open During Write Problem Or Job Not Running...
Jul 23, 2005Here's a challenge that is killing me:I've got 2 web servers and a SQL Server and about 5,000 'users' whostay connected to the site all day. I have a page that is supposed tobe 'real-time', so to do this, I have a 1px frame that refreshes every15 seconds (so the other frame doesn't have to reload all the time--thetop only reloads when a new record or a changed record hits the db).The real time data can be filtered in about 8 different ways.Currently, I have each user querying a table that contains 1 record,including the max ID and the most current insert/update posting date.The browser contains a cookie with that date. When the browser receivesnotification that there is some new info on the server, it refreshesthe top page and reloads the data. This is happening for all users. So,I thought to eliminate the 5,000 users running the same (or closevariations) of the same query each time a records is inserted/updated,that I would generate an XML file with the current day's data.In a dev environment this works 'ok'. I'm doing this by running anActiveX job on the SQL Server that calls a stored proc (FOR XML) andwrites the content to a file. Then from the web servers, I'm queryingthis file for the new timestamp and then if newer than the cookie,grabbing the XML (using the httprequest in the ASP XMLDOM) and usingXSLT to transform the data instead of parameterizing the queries.Theoretically I love this solution. Problems happen in a LIVEenvironment where either the file is being written to or the job isn'table to run. When 2 records are trying to be written within the samesecond, the file isn't being written (or maybe that the http requestingthe XML is keeping the file locked?)....anyway...this is a HUGE problethat I can't seem to solve. Once we roll to .NET I think storing thedataset in cache and updating cache (still don't know how I'll triggerthat without each user checking the db)....Long winded, sorry...help?

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 wasnt 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 wasnt 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 isnt 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

Product Key For SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 Via Open License Agreement
Sep 28, 2007
Hi,
I have a customer, Customer who has purchased SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 via Open License Agreement. The product key is not available with the media.
I checked with eOpen team and confirmed that SQL 2005 does not require product key or Volume License Key for installation.
however, according to the VKB article 331355 titled "eOpen License Web Site" under "Exceptions" it is mentioned as:
SQL Server: The product key is distributed with the media. If the customer did not get a product key with the media, refer them to their reseller. The product key is hidden between two shrink-wrapped CDs.
Need your clarification on this,
How should we provide the key to the customer.

SqlCeConnection Failing To Open A Connection To The SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition
Apr 15, 2008Good day,
I am writing an application using VB.Net 2005 for the Windows CE 5.0 device and it is connecting to a SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Database.
The trouble I'm having is establishing a connection to a SQL Server Mobile database on the device.
Here is the code I am using:
Code Snippet
Public gConnectionString As String = "Data Source=Program FilesMobAppMobDB.sdf;Persist Security Info=False;"
Code Snippet
Imports System.Data.SqlServerCe
Public Class DBManager
Public Shared gSQLCEConnection As SqlCeConnection
Public Shared Function OpenDB() As Boolean
If gSQLCEConnection IsNot Nothing Then
Throw New InvalidOperationException("Connection already open.")
End If
gSQLCEConnection = New SqlCeConnection(gConnectionString)
Try
gSQLCEConnection.Open() 'Error occurs here
Return True
Catch ex As SqlCeException
MsgBox(ex.Message & vbCrLf & ex.HResult & vbCrLf & ex.NativeError & vbCrLf & ex.Source)
Return False
End Try
End Function
In the immediate window I recieve the following messages:
A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
I believe that the first few lines are caused by the icons/pictures that I have included with my app, but the SqlCeException line occurs when the connection to the .SDF file is trying to be established.
Here is the exception output:
Message: "" (Blank)

Any ideas on what could be stopping this connection from being established? It was working before but all of a sudden just stopped. I have warm booted, cold booted, and rebuilt with no luck and also checked that SQL Query Analyzer is not running on the PDA and that the connection string is valid.
The call to OpenDB occurs in the form_load of the startup object.

My error I get is when I execute a basic .asp page:

from this peice of code:
sub dbOpen()
set dbConnect = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cstring = "DSN=mysqldsn; Trusted Connection=yes"
dbConnect.Open cstring
end sub
I have gone into ODBC and have setup both a user dsn and file dsn that equals mysqldsn and points to my database (I know you only need to set up one DSN but I'm not sure which)
I also notice under mywebsite home panel there is a connection string option. Do I do anything with that?
Definatley a lot more to it than XP's II6!
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
