Migrating From Sql2000 MSDE Database To Sql2005 Express - Attach Database Errors
Apr 23, 2006
I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate a MSDE based application into a SQL2005 Express SP2 DB Engine on Windows Vista Business but I'm facing several errors that are blocking me.
Since the installation of SQL2005 Expr. must be done in a silent mode (the end user shouldn't set anything), I'm installing it using this syntax:
SQLEXPRSP2_ITA.EXE -q /norebootchk /qb reboot=ReallySuppress addlocal=all instancename=CSERV DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1 SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" AGTACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" ASACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" RSACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"
The installation proceeds without problems but when my program tries to create the database, a message error appears:
CREATE DATABASE denied on database 'master' (I translated directly from italian).
What I would like is to install SQL 2005 with "Windows Authentication" access instead of "SQL Authentication".
If I install SQL2005 manually by setting a named instance (CSERV), Windows Authentication mode, activating the option "set the local account as SQL administrative account" (translated from italian and suggested with Vista) I get the following error (read from the LOG):
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5 (access denied) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerCSERVDataCGIDBDat.mdf'
CSERVData is the folder that the application creates and where the "mdf" and "ldf" files are stored.
So in the first case it seems that SQL2005 don't recognize the local account as administrator even if the user has administrative privileges (at least for Vista), in the second case is Vista that is blocking the action.
What is the solution??
Thank you and regards.

We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks

While doing maintenance on a development server we detached a database and later reattached it to the same server.
For some unknown reason web services execute but return no results. There are no errors reported in event viewer. I connected to the database in Visual Studio 2005 and attempted to execute a simple select statement but it returns no row.
It appears to execute the stored procedure but does not return any data. I have cut and pasted the select statement into a View which does execute.
Lastly I just created a new store procedure to test the database and it also does not return any rows. This is all very strange.
Could use a few suggestions at this point.

If I restore a SQL 2000 DB into 2005 it upgrades it for me.
When restoring a DB to a new server/instance of SQL, in SQL 2000 I had to carry out the sp_changedbowner procedure after the restore was complete.
Is the equivalent procedure when restoring a SQL 2000 DB to 2005 to go to the schema for the restored database, find the schema with the name of the SQL 2000 db owner and change the schema owner?
OR alternatively run the following query where mark is the db owner in 2000 and lladmin in the new user in 2005 ;
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::mark TO lladmin;
GO

Can anyone tell me why my SQL2000 database has grown aprox 15 % and my Log file 20,000 % when I attach it to SQL2005 .I've Thousands of Databases to Upgrade, but with the log file increasing to more than the size of the Database Its going to be a struggle !
It also takes a fair ammount of time to attach,
I suspect there is some reindexing going on , as when I try to reattach to SQL 2000 I get index errors ?
Is the re anything I can do in advance to reduce the database growth ?
I know I can truncate the log afterward but the peak diskspace consumed during my Migration may be an issue !
Thanks for any help

Hi
I have to migrate a SQL2000 database to SQL2005, I tried to use CopyDatabase Wizard (CDW) but invariably stopped all processes (may be for permissions, but I really I don€™t know) so I decided to detach de database, copy files to new server and attach it to SQL2005, it apparently works well, except for the fact that Schemas where created with the name of the users of SQL2000.
Is that correct?
Could it affect the performance or any other thing?
Is correct to do what I did?
Could be another problem in the recently attached database?
(Compatibility, data loss, corrupted structures, collation or something like that)

Hello,
I have a SQL Express database created with VWD 2005 and I want to attach it to the server using the SQL Server Management Studio. It is not the first time when I attach a database, but now, I don't know from what reason, it is not working anymore. So, I copy/paste the mdf and ldf files from the website location (the SQL Server Management Studio is not opening the folder C:usersmyuser in Vista Home Premium, don't know why) to a new location and try to attach. The error message is:

I am trying to attach a network database to my sql server express
After some reading I "Enabled" tcp/ip, named pipes, and shared memory in sql server confiuration manager.
But when I go to "Attach Database" in Sql Express managemnent studio. It does not show the network drives much less allow me to attach anything on a network drive.
What am I missing here?
If I install sql server on the network machine will my local Sql express recognize it?

I am supposed to be documenting the SQL Express 2005 SP2 installation and connection to our application on Vista. I have installed and uninstalled the application several times in trying to create the connection and document the process. I thought I was done but now the database will not attach because it thinks the databasse is already attached. The database is not attached. I even uninstalled it again thinking something was left over.
Among the possibilities are that the database we are trying to attach is from SQL Server 2003 on a Server 2003. I tend not to think it is a server issue but have no reason to make that statement.
I tend to think it is a Vista issue because I have encountered and circumvented several. Our applications work fine on the full version of SQL. I can connect my Vista computer to the servers without issue. We have no Vista Servers other than the workstation I am trying to get SQL Express running on.
I am about out of ideas. Any suggestion will be tried at this point. Brian

Hi Guys,This is my first post and I hope I'm not going to embarrass myself to much.I am currently writing a pseudo install package for SQL Server Express, it is written in VB.Net 2.0.
I have created an *.exe that fires the SQL Server Express install package silently with command line options, once complete the *.exe copies an *.MDF and an *.LDF to the newly created data directory. Once the data has been copied I fire a "CREATE DATABASE FOR ATTACH" using a SQLClient.SQLCommand to attach my DB. I am using Windows Authentication for SQL Server Express.This all works beautifully when the *.exe is being run from a local hard disk - complete success.When I move the *.exe to a CD it fails . SQL Server is installed correctly, the files are copied to the local hard disk in the correct location. I then fire the "CREATE DATABASE" command - its here I get the error.The error details are:Unable to open the physical file "c:....Exchange.LDF". Operating System error 5:"5(error not found)". Cannot create file "c:....Exchnage.ldf" because it already exists. Change the file path or file name, and retry the operation. Could not open new database 'Exchange'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. File activation failure. The physical file name "c:....Exchange.LDF" may be incorrect.Remember this works perfectly when run from the local hard disk, this only occurs when running from a CD-ROM.Now from the research I have done I believe it may be a permissions error. The setup *.exe is being run from a Administrator account and the SQL Server DB Engine Service Account is System. I'm under the impression that this should provide more than enough permissions.
Thanks for any help you guys may be able to provide...
Matt.

I m facing a strange phenomenon.
Please refer to below points.
environment:
------------------
windows XP sp2
SQL Server 2005 express [log on as 'network service'(by default)]
programming language: VC++(MFC)
There is a sample database in .mdf format which to be attached to SQL Server.
Ist case:
------------
I add MASTERDSN (for master databse) to ODBC by calling API SQLConfigDataSource() and then attach the sample DB to SQL Server by calling stored procedure 'sp_attach_db' through VC++ code.
On verification from SQL Server management studio express, the DB attached is in read only mode.
II case:
----------
I add MASTERDSN using ODBC data source administrator manually.
Now I add MASTERDSN (again with same name) by calling API SQLConfigDataSource() and then attach the DB to SQL Server by calling stored procedure 'sp_attach_db' through VC++ code.
Now on verification, the DB attached is not in read-only mode.
The problem is that why there is difference in behavior in both cases?
I want to get the sample DB attached in read-write mode in Ist case.
Hopefully waiting for ur response.
Thanks & Regards

I am having a problem Attaching, well actually not being able to see a database when attempting to attach it. I suspect this is more of a security issue rather than a problem with Management Studio, but I can't figure out what is happening.
If I copy a database to Documents and SettingsAll Users... and attempt to attach I can see the file in the selection tree. This also is the case if I copy it to Documents and SettingsDefault User... But if I copy it to Documents and SettingsADynarski... which is the account I normally log into, when I expand the folder in the selection tree, nothing is visible. And the same thing occurs if I copy the file to Documents and SettingsGuest...
I've looked at the security settings and everything appears to be normal. This is on a box with XP Home and SQL Server Express. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks,
