Re SQL Server 2005 Express
When I attempt to copy the master file for backing up, it is being used by
another application, even after shutting down the PC completely and powering
it up again. What can I do to make back-ups?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, I have been having fun and games for well over a week now trying to get an xml file copied into an sql file, but still have no joy. I and using the bulk copy to do this and think I am close to solving it but just need a final push in the write direction.
In green below is the full source code, I think that the trouble is with the try statement part here:
Try
bulk.WriteToServer(xd)
This comes up with the error :
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Xml.XmlDocument' to type 'System.Data.IDataReader'
Basically how do I get the XML data into a reader (or IDataReader) format so that the writetoserver command can interpret it
I would be so greatful if someone could help resolve this it is becoming increasingly more frustrating

Hi,
How can we copy a file, which is located at an URL like

I just need to copy this to my network.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a VB project which uses SQL Server 2005 Express. When the project first runs, it copies its DB files from the data directory to a directory created on the C: drive. This works fine.
In a later part of the application, it is necessary to copy the DB file to another location e.g. memory stick so that it can be used to merge data onto another PC running the same application.
The data merging works too.
My problem is, despite the fact that it worked okay this morning, I am now unable to copy the DB into a second location (memory stick or location on local disc). I get an exception stating that the file is in use.
I have no other applications running (I shut down Visual Studio and was running the installed version).
What is more, the form that implements the file copying, first closes down all other forms in the application to ensure that nothing is connected to the DB.
Furthermore, the form that performs this task has no DB connections whatsoever - it simply allows the user to select a location, then creates a directory and copies the DB files to it.
If I copy/paste the code plus the FolderBrowserDialog into the first form that copies the original database out of the data directory - it works!
The code for the whole form is below - I would be hugely grateful for any ideas ...

This is a pretty basic question, but I've generated a backup file for one of my SQL 2000 databases, and I need to copy the backup file to another computer so I can burn it on CD. Whenever I try to copy the file, I get an error message saying that the file is in use by another process and can't be copied. I have tried detaching the database, shutting down Enterprise Manager, stopping the MSSQL service, but all to no avail. There must be a way to do this, but I can't get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am developing a .NET 2.0 application that uses Sql Express as its backend.
I use OleDb Provider to connect to Sql express.
One of the options in the app allows the Admin to create a Backup of the database. As part of this process, I write a log entry to one of the tables in the database, commit & close the connection, and then copy the physical database(.mdf) file to some pre-determined location using the following instruction (in VB):
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("Path to Database File", "Destination Path")
It throws an exception saying that the file is in use. Upon checking, I found that the file has been locked-up by the Sql process.
I ensured that my app closes all connections to the database, that there is none other trying to connect to it, and then again tried to execute the above instruction in my app, again raising the same error.
However, when the app terminates, then I can easily copy the databse using explorer. I also used the OleDb method ReleaseObjectPool(), but the problem persisted.
So, how can I copy the database in such a situation from within my app??
Hi,
I tried to backup the master key by the following syntax :
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'c: empmaster' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
but it failed and i got the following message:
Cannot write into file 'c: empmaster'. Verify that you have write permissions, that the file path is valid, and that the file does not already exist.
NB: I am using the "sa" user to execute this command.
I know that we have a security permission issue , but where and how ?

I am experiencing unexpected behaviour when copying an Excel file.
An Excel file from TemplateDir to WorkingDir.
Excel file is then populated in WorkingDir, ok Copy File task copies Excel File from WorkingDir to FinalDir, however non populated version of file is copied.
However, if I stop SSIS and and execute Copy Task only, the populated version of file is copied.
It seems SSIS has a kind of lock on Excel file in WorkingDir.
how lock can be released to enable Copy of populated file.
Hi,
I have an SSIS package designed to copy across a file from local machine to a location on the network.
The SSIS package works fine when I run it directly run it in the Designer, ie, it copies over the file to the network.
But when I run the package through the Job server agent, it fails giving me a validation error on the network path..
Does it have to do with the permissions of the User account used here? Could anyone please provide any information on this....
Thanks
We need to load a "master" flat file to SQL Server tables. The file is a dump from mainframe. Based on a field called "record_type", each record in the file has different columns. I would use the following as an example (the real file is much more complicated than this, but you get the idea):
For instance, my file has:
20M02221984PAPepsi1000
23F11121987MD1000
01M09182003TXCocacola1100
34F03041970DC900
If "M", the fields are "age", "gender", "birthdate", "state", "salary"
If "F", the fields are "age", "gender", "birthdate", "state", "company", "salary"
We need to load the file (only one file) into two different tables, M_table, and F_table. But I have researched and discovered in DTS the source (TEXT file) can not be queried against to filter on the gender field.
Since each record may have different number of fields, I cannot really load the flat file into a "staging" table.
Does anyone has any idea on how to achieve this? Thanks in advance!!!

Help! Surely this has happened to others before me. A new customer wants to send updates in a fixed-width txt file in which master and detail rows alternate.
How do you do this?
Do you:
1) Painfully muck around with 100,000 rows in the .txt file first--split it into 2 files, one for master records and one for detail records and then process? If so, what do you use? I'd probably hack at it with a VB Script module in a DTS package.
or
2) Is there a way to feed it into 2 tables where rows starting with x go to one table and rows starting with y go to another?
The plan was to use a fast and dirty DTS package to shove this stuff into a table (probably 2 but we might just toss the stuff we don't need and put in in one) but I'd like some advice on how to proceed.
Thanks for any suggestions!
I have SQL server 2000 which recently crashed. I try to recover it andfound out that the Master database is corrupt.

But I have full system backup of volume c on tape(using NTBackup), which includes old version of Master database. Myquestions are:1. How can I recover this file into SQL server?2. If so, it is not risky to recover Master database from two weeksago?Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to categorize a table by "type"; for example "Master file" or "Transaction file"?
If yes, then:
Where is this specification made on the table, and how can I interrogate the table to determine the "type" ....
I receive this error "Setup was unable to load the master information file' when I lanch Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components.
I was going to add ISS but recieved this error.

I executed the below query and getting the capacity values only for master database.All other DB shows NULL values for spaceused. I'm actually looking for a query to get all the capacity information other than using temp table and the procedures. Is there any way using SQL query ONLY.

Hi,
i use sql server express 2005. There are several databases which all works fine.
My problem is: when i try to expand one database in Management Studio express, i get for that database (not for others):
"the database 'mydb' is not accessible (microsoft.sqlserver.objectexplorer)" and that's it. I can't see tables nor any objects of that db, while the application still can insert records into tables of that db.
When i run this query: select * from master..sysdatabases
i see all the databases (also 'mydb') with the same mode, status ...
Thanks

I changed the Administrator Password on our Server. I also changed the sa password for the SQL Server to match. Ever since then, if one of my web pages attempts to retrieve data, the user get the error:
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
This is strange because my pages do not use the sa account in order to retrieve data. I have a copy of MS Access installed locally on the server. Using it I can access the SQL Server data with linked tables. So the SQL Server is obviously servicing internal requests.
I tried changing the passwords back again, but the problem still persists.
Anybody any ideas?

We installed RS on a non default website on our IIS server. When targeting the Reports page from the server itself (http://site:8015/Reports) we can see the welcome page. However if we try to access that same page from another machine we get a generic IE message: IE cannot open the specified page check your internet connection etc. Because the error is so generic I have no idea as to what can be the cause: IIS or RS config ? I suspect IIS because no RS error is raised but then I don't see what I could've missed on that level...
Any ideas of what could be the cause of this ?
thanks a lot
Notes:
- the DB and the RS instance are on the same server
- other sites hosted on the same server are accessible from the client machine
- Anonymous access is enabled on the site level, and on the Reports / ReportServer level. I tried unsetting it but it didn't change anything for the remote client.
- I tried changing the account RS is running under: it used to be LocalSystem, I now set it to NT AuthorityNetworkService but no difference.

We have two Baan erp servers 1) SQL2005 on windows 2003 server 2) SQL2000 on windows 200 server.
SQL 2005 server has two database instances, one being the default and the other one as a named instance.
We have been trying to access the data in these two database instances from the second server for our baan erp application on it. Now, we are able to see the data for default instance, but if we try to fetch the data from named instance we end up getting dberror 17.
We tried to register the named instance on the second server using "new sql server registration wizard" in sql 2000 enterprise manager, but there also the list only shows the default instance from sql 2005 server. I tried to type in the named instance and register (both windows and sql server authentication), but end up getting error "Database instance doesn't exist or access denied".
So, for some reason, the named instance from sql 2005 server is not getting published on the network. Please suggest some ways to get around this issue.

Last week we reset the Model datable to autogrow. Now I get an error when I try to go into it. (I discovered this since I can no longer go into the interface of the program). I wasn't here when the changes were made to the Database Model, but the change was made because the transaction log was filled up.

There are times when the database (SQL 7.0) cannot be accessed ( backup, routine maintenance, etc....) from asp page.
