Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick
I have a table that has 5 values that I want to MSSQL to create a csv file for. After it is created, dump that csv file back into the database as a binary file. Is this possible?
if i have a given database (a model) and i want to copy this database in the same database instance. Is it ok to copy the mdf and ldf file and attach the files with a new database name in the same instance.
New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?
we lost a drive that was holding our log files for a database. I have the .mdf file from the database. So I'm trying to attach the database using just the mdf file but it fails because its still looking for the log file.
Bit of a SQL newbie, having taken over a support role for a piece of software that my firm sells. It is basically a DB that runs on MSDE or SQL Server in either desktop or enterprise scenarios.
We do sell our software to clients who may or may not already have SQL on their machines. During installation, it searches for sqlservr.exe for existing SQL installations and if it finds nothing, will then install MSDE 1.0 to house the db files.
My question is this -
I can manually create a db or manually attach an existing db through sql query analyser where there is a full-blown SQL installation. Is there any way I can do the same where there is only MSDE installed? The simple solution, I guess, would be to download one of the freeware or shareware MSDE "Enterprise Managers", but this won't always be suitable for a client installation.
Hi there, I'm trying to attach a DB using a single MDF file. The file was not properly detached as our server had crashed suddenly neither was the a proper backup done..When I try to attach it says "the file you've specified is not a valid sql server database file" . But another database was restored using a MDF file without any problems ? Please do get back if anyone may get what the problem likely is ? It'd be of great help. Let me know if my problem was clear or if I've to put it in a different fashion.
Attemping to reattach a recovered .mdf and associated .ldf from a crashed disk drive and I am getting the error below. I attempted to create a new db, stop the service, replace the new data files with the recovered db files and restarted the SQL service so that I could run a dbcc checkdb while the db was in suspect mode, however was unable to do this. This error leads me to belive that the log file needs to be rebuild, but that the mdf files could be a decent shape. Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks!

I have a VBExpress 2008 application that uses LINQ to SQL to manipulate data in an SQLExpress 2005 database.
I successfully instatiate a DataContext object and examine its metadata through its .Mapping methods and properties. But when I attempt to set the DataSource for a BindingSource control to one of the tables, I get a run-time error.
Specifically:
Dim dc As New DiabetesData(My.Settings.DiabetesData_dbPath)
generates the error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was unhandled Class=14 ErrorCode=-2146232060 LineNumber=65536 Message="An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file SbearMedicalDiabetesDiabetesData2.mdf failed.

How do I reattached a SQL server database if the log file was not backed up and none is available. Our server went belly up and the backups were only copying the *.MDF files. The log files were not being included in the backup for some reason.
I know in version 7.0 you could reattach with out the log file but I am having a more difficult time figuring out how to get around thin in SQL 2000. Anybody got any ideas???
we have a requirement to create a database of our application in client's system. and we assume that already MS Sql server is installed.
we have a .mdf file of our database. Is there any way I can attach .mdf file to the database using command line. so that I can write a batch file and run that batch to create the database in our client's system.
I have a dataflow task that creates a text file and posts it in a FTP share. In need to rename the file attaching datestamp(current date of package execution) at the end of filename. For ex: My dataflowtask creates a file called 'Samplename.txt'
I need to rename it to : 'Samplename20080225.txt.
I think it can be done using the File task...I see an option to rename the file but not sure of how to configure the task to attach current datestamp.
I see some suggestions online, but complete steps on how to implement the above would be highly appreciated.
The situation : I am making mass changes to my program and database. The goal is to not make changes to the database at the customer sites, but to clone their current database, and work with that one.
The solution: I wrote code and queries to detach the database, copy it to another directory on the same computer with a different name, then attach it with the new name. The process is: run : sp_detach_db "' + aDatabase + '", ''false'';' (aDatabase is the original database name) Then, in code, delete the original .ldf file, and copy the database.mdf file to new directory with new name. then run (for both the new and the original databases):
This works, up to a point. The problem : When I inspect the properties of the newly attached database, with the new name and new directory, the logical name of the database is still the original name.
but it returns(even though I have deleted the .ldf files for the original dataset) : Could not open new database 'Test62'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. Cannot create file 'E:Data6Test62Test62_log.LDF' because it already exists. Change the file path or the file name, and retry the operation. File activation failure. The physical file name "E:Data6TestTest_log.LDF" may be incorrect.
(original database name = data6 est est, new database name is data6 est62 est62) Is there a way to do this? Or do I just need to give it up?

I wanted to create a removable SQL Server 7.0 database. So I created the database using the sp_create_removable system stored procedure, imported objects and data, ensured that the database is configured properly for distribution on removable media (using sp_certify_removable system stored procedure), and detached it from original SQL Server. So far, so good. The database consists of 3 files: MYDB_SYS, MYDB_DATA and MYDB_LOG. I copied MYDB_DATA on a CD, and MYDB_SYS and MYDB_LOG on hard disk of a different server. If I execute the following statement:
Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 4, Line 1 Device activation error. The physical file name 'E:MYDB_DATA.NDF' may be incorrect. Server: Msg 945, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Database 'MYDB' cannot be opened because some of the files could not be activated. Server: Msg 1813, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Could not open new database 'MYDB'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
I can successfully execute the above statement if I make MYDB_SYS.MDF file read only, but then MYDB is created as read only, and this option can not be changed.
