I understand that you must sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db to move databases to a new server. What if you want to reinstall SQL 7.0 to a different drive on the same server? My situation is this:
We have C:, D:, and E: drives. I accidentally installed SQL 7 on the C: drive instead of the D: drive. I need to reinstall on D: and I need the data. Any suggestions?

I installed SQL Server Express and uninstalled it through the control panel add/remove programs. When I try to reinstall is I get an error message that says it is already installed. I'm having the same problem with the toolkit. I saw a post describing a similar problem and tried reinstalling it through the Add Programs button but got the same result. The only SQL programs I see in Add/Remove Programs are MSFT SQL Server Native Client and MSFT SQL Server Setup Support Files (English). I tried to get to the change button on the former but it just removed the entry. How can I tidy things up so I can reinstall it? I'm running XP second edition.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I've got a weird problem that started today on our SQL server at work. Apparently the transaction logs filled up for one DB, and SQL server decided to create 230 gb of errors on the subject, filling my D: drive. Well, I had no problem deleting the error logs and truncating the transaction logs, but my Enterprise Manager MMC will no longer function.
Search results turned up a fix that worked for most people, but not for me. So I'm pretty sure I've got no choice but to reinstall over-the-top. But, will this cause any loss of existing databases (obviously back them up first), users/security, and scheduled tasks (db backups, etc)?
I'd like to do minimal damage to this thing because there are several DB's set up from before my time, and I don't have time to manage this thing completely (as you might have guessed, no one really manages things here). Any help is appreciated.

Hello all
From time to time I receive mssql server databases to export from our customers. Last time I deleted the database files without detaching them. How can I detached them, since I need to atach new ones with the same name?
I'm using MS SQL Server 2003 and the databases are 6.5.
Thank you all.

Hi,
Im not new to SQL Server but I am new to v.2005. We have done a class project and to finish up I am creating schemas, logins and different user roles and permissions.
I now need to detach the DB and send it to our team leader for submission. I'm scared to do this because I don't know if all the logins and passwords I've created will appear in it's new location. Will they be there in the new server's security folder just as I created them or will they dissapear into the ether?

Hello all...
I am working on a project that contains several databases in SQL and many settings. The problem I am encountering is that I want to be able to update the program for all my customers. That is no problem.
The problem I am meeting is where, when the program is updated, all the settings and all the information in the databases reverts to the default values, or the values that were compiled with the new update.
I want to be able to update their program without deleting all the settings they have.
Thanks,

Q1.)In SQL Server 2000, is it always possible to use copies of thedata and transaction log files of a database from one server toreattach to a new database on another server, or even to the sameserver, without first detaching from the existing database?Books Online says that detaching a database closes the data and logfiles cleanly. I read some where that some times, it is possible toattach without detaching, if the data and log file are in stablestate.This is what I tried - Tried to copy Northwind.mdf and ldf files usingwindows explorer and it gave an error message that the files are inuse. I shutdown the server and now I could easily copy them. Afterthat I renamed these files and successfully attached them as a newdatabase.Q2.)Is it possible to do the same with large production databases?Q3.) Please explain what goes on during detaching /attaching process.Thanks in advanceRavi

Having a bit of an issue 'moving' a database. I've only just installed SQL Server 2005 on a Development/Test box so I can learn and mess around with it without doing any serious damage to anything important.
One of the first things I've done is install the AdventureWorks database and, having installed it, decided I would move the files to their optimum locations. However having detached the database I can't seem to move or copy the .mdf or .ldf files - something still seems to have its tentacles around them - 'Access denied' error. Even rebooting the server doesn't work. So I've had to delete then re-attach the database. The question then is does Detach serve any useful purpose? Or am am doing something wrong? With SS2000 I could detach a database, relocate the physical files and re-attach in seconds. The same procedure with SS2005 has taken me an hour!

I am currently having a problem in the implementation of a Database for my C#.net winform application.
Look at the 2 diagrams below:
Diagram 1 : A typical databse design where it usees only 1 mdf file.
Diagram 2: A new proposed approach to implement the Database with multiple mdf files of the same schema!!
In the new proposal of the DB, each mdf files is kept separately and an additional module is required to attach and detach these databases as and when required. The purpose: the performance of all actions on the small data is not affected by the size of the large data
How does this 2 methods measure up in terms of resource usage, performance, etc??
Need comments and views. Thanks.
I hope this is the right forum for this question.
I am working with an asp.net project in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. This is a starter kit project. There is a database that came with the project that I want to open up in the SQL Server 2005 Express management studio so that I can modify it.
I have detached the db in the VWD environment.But, I do not see this db in the db folder with in the SQL Server studio's IDE. I am assuming that I have to attach the database to the SQL Server management studio in order to work with it. Is this the correct way to do this type of thing? Is there a better way of doing it(a stored proc like mentioned below)?
I also have a question about the icons that pertain to this situation. I have noticed two variations of the same icon. I want to be sure I am interpretting these correctly. I am assuming that the icon that is a cylinder representing a db with the little
electrical plug coming out from behind it means that the db is attached. There is another version of this icon that has a red "x" over the plug. I am assuming that this means it is detached. Is this correct?
I have attached and detached dbs in Sql Server Express. Is the process the same for doing this with a project in Visual Web Developer? Is there a stored proc that I can use to detach from the SQL Server 2005 environment after I have made a database and attach this to my project in VWD in one step?

All,
I wanted to to detach a DB say MyDB from MSDE and wanted to attach it to SQL Express.
It could able to Detach the DB from MSDE,but attachment to SQL 2005 is failing. When I verified MSDE Instance through Managment studio "MyDB" wasnot there ; means it got detached.I couldnt find the DB in SQL 2005. When I tried manually through command prompt I was able to attach "MyDB" to SQL2005.
Please help me out!!
Here is the code which I have written.
if SUCCEEDED(hr = CoCreateInstance (CLSID_SQLDMOServer, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_ISQLDMOServer, (LPVOID*)&pSQLServer))
{
pSQLServer->SetLoginSecure (TRUE);
SQLDMO_LPCSTR DB = OLESTR("MyDB");
//Connect to MSDE First
if SUCCEEDED(hr = pSQLServer->Connect (szDbServer, szUserName, szPassword))
{
pSQLServer->DetachDB(DB,lpszResult); //Detach the DB
pSQLServer->DisConnect(); //Disconnect MSDE
LPBSTR lpszResult2 = NULL;
long lNumDB;
//Connect to SQL 2005
if SUCCEEDED(hr = pSQLServer->Connect (szSQLExpDbServer, szUserName, szPassword))
{
//LPCOLESTR lpo = A2COLE(sTemp);
//sTemp.operator LPCTSTR
pSQLServer->GetDatabaseCount (&lNumDB);
SQLDMO_LPCSTR files = OLESTR("C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQLData\MyDB.mdf,C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\MyDB_log.ldf");
pSQLServer->AttachDB(DB,files,lpszResult2); // Attach the DB to SQL 2005
pSQLServer->DisConnect(); // Disconnect SQL 2005}
Since the "Cannot Open User Default Database (error 4064)" thread is closed, and I had this same error, I'd thought I'd leave the solution that worked for me since I spent about 2 hours researching this problem. After detaching my database, then reattaching it, I couldn't log back in with my login ID. I could get in using the sa account. I could also log in with my login ID if I set the default database to master using SQL Server Management Studio by navigating to Security, Logins, right-clicking my login ID, then setting the default database to master. However, this isn't a solution, because I need my login ID to default to the database I reattached, not master.
One way of resolving this is to set the new Login ID as the owner. Right click the database under Databases in Management Studio, choose Properties, choose Files, then set the owner with the new login ID. I can then connect to the reattached database with my login ID. If I set the owner back to sa, I can't connect with my login ID, I have to use sa. If someone has a solution to relink my new login ID and the user with the same name so I can log in with sa set as the owner, I'd love to hear it. I can't make that work.
BTW, if I go under Logins, right click my new login ID, choose properties, then User Mapping, my reattached database is selected under Users mapped to this login. However, the Users and Default Schema columns are both set to dbo.

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?

I've been using my DotNetNuke database for weeks on my local PC with SQL Server Express. It attaches as a "User Instance". Basically, I am using all the DotNetNuke defaults. Today I decided to attach the DotNetNuke database in SQL Server Management Studio Express and peek at the tables. I attached the database; then I detached it when I was done. This all went well. But when I tried to open my DotNetNuke web site again I now get a message that it cannot connect. Attaching and detaching the database in SQL Server Management Studio obviously changed something about the database, but I don't know what. My connection string to the database has not changed.
The specific error displayed in the browser is:
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider
In event viewer is this message:
Exception information:
Exception type: SqlException
Exception message: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
My connection string is this:
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Any suggestions about how I can correct this?
I have SQL Express 2005 SP2 installed in my Vista Home Premium. I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express to manage .mdf.
When I click "Add..." to attach .mdf database, I have this prompt error message :

I have elevated the rights, "Run as administrator", of my SQL Server Management Studio Express, but still having problem.
I also encounter security error when detaching the existing .mdf :
The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_detach_db', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Please advice. Thanks.
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
Hi
I have another question : 1) Restoring SQL Server Databases after uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Server.
Two days ago there was some problem with Norton Antivirus, so Windows 98 restored itself to a previous state. The SQL Server name was not available when I tried to start again, so I had to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server. I started a new Database just a week before this happened (the change from Access to SQL Server as I stated in the other thread http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=987880) and after reinstallation I could not access the Database any more - even while it is in the Data directory. I did not have any backup to restore from - I just started creating tables, so there was only the Log file created and the MDF database file. I tried to import it for a while to the new server, but as the database is not shown in the new server, it was unable to import like I hoped. So how do you restore it back to SQL Server when you have no backup and only the (undamaged) MDF database file if you only have one server? I had to recreate the Database from scratch again - I don't want it to happen again.
