I can detach/attach SSAS database.But I have a software that protects(backs up) the files of the SSAS Database.
What the customer needs is to be able to take these backed up files and port it to a different server and attach it there.But the new server complains that these files have no corresponding detach-log files.
The customer doesn't want to backup and restore the SSAS databases.
I am actually very new to SQL databases, I have received an .MDF and .LDF for a database of size 50 GB...
I need to create or attach these files to a new database and extract some columns then convert them to .text or .csv...
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 2 node cluster with SQL Server 2014 FCI installed. Data files are on a separate Windows Server 2012 R2 file server. Data files share has been permissioned to the SQL Server service and SQL Server Agent service accounts as Full Control. NTFS Permissions are Full Control.
When I try to attach a database
CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorksDW2012
ON (FILENAME = 'apricotmssql_VIOLETMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAAdventureWorksDW2012_Data.mdf')
FOR ATTACHI get this error:
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 4
Unable to open the physical file "apricotmssql_VIOLETMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAAdventureWorksDW2012_Data.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
If I log into the file server (called APRICOT) and look at the NTFS permissions they all look good. I have also reapplied the NTFS permissions from the root folder down.
EDIT
If I log on to one of the nodes in the cluster as the SQL Server service account and navigate to apricotmssql_VIOLETMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATA and copy and paste the data file, it works fine.
EDIT2:
If I log on to the file server and Enable Inheritance at the root level, then Replace all child objects with inheritable permission entries from this object, I get this error:
User Account Control settings on all nodes and the file server are set to Never notify
hello, (this was originally posted in Administration Forum)
I am helping out with a disaster recovery of a database and i was given 4 files. 2 MDF and 2 LDF files. When I try to attach the files to SQL Server I recieve this err msg:
Server: Msg 823, Level 24, State 6, Line 1
I/O error (torn page) detected during read at offset 0000000000000000 in file 'E:chivirtualGPS0Dat.mdf'.
Connection Broken
I then tried many other combinations hoping something would work --> tried individual files, just data files, tried to create a new DB and then switching/replacing out with the files i needed...etc, nothing seems to work for me. The people I am trying to help out do NOT have backups.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks...
I have a database that consists of 4 files (1 MDF, 2 NDF's and 1 LDF-file). I can confirm that by running:
select name from sys.database_files
The result is:
Adam_Data
Adam_Log
Adam_FullText
Adam_History
About a year ago this database had 3 more NDF-files, but we moved all the objects that were stored in these secondary datafiles to the other datafiles and removed them completely from the database. This operation worked correctly otherwise the sys.database_files view would have returned more files I assume.
Everything works perfectly with this database until I try to detach and reattach it. If I detach this database and immediately try to attach it again on the same server using Sql Server Management Studio it wants me to attach 7 database files! The 4 database files that are still being used by this database (which is perfectly valid), but it also wants me to attach the 3 old database files which obviously don't exist anymore and that aren't even reported by the sys.database_files view. Is there anything I can do to make sure that an attach of this database will work again? How can I completely remove these old database files?

Hello,
I am using the full version of sql server 2005 management studio to attempt to attach sql express mdf files to sql server 2005.
I was using the databases from an ASP.NET commerce starter kit in sql express. I want to update to sql server 2005, so i detached the dbs.
i deleted the sql express management studio ctp and installed sql server 2005 from the free 6 month trial available online.
I then attempted to attach the sql express files to sql server 2005 and get the following error:

I have a server which has SQL Server 2012 SSAS.
My client wants SSIS and database engine to be installed to be mapped to this analysis services engine.
Is that possible?

I have been exploring options to host a read only archive database that we need to access on a very short term adhoc basis.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI know how to create an alias for a SQL server instance, so instead of MyServerMyInstanceName, I can type MyInstanceName into my SSMS connection box. But SSAS does not allow me to connect with the alias.
I've looked all over and found plenty of documentation that SQL 2005 and 2008 doesn't allow the use of instance aliases for SSAS. I've even found notes from Microsoft saying "we'll fix this in a future edition." I have not found any indications or notes as to whether or not this has been fixed.
Can aliases be created for 2012 SSAS? Or is this still not available?
I have just started using ASP.net.I have to develop a system that attaches word and PDF files to form. I also need to be able to do a full text search on the documents attached.I'm currently using SQL server 2000 as my backend DBMS, but I have never used it to attach files. My mates recommend using BLOGS but I'm not sure how to do this and I'm not sure if I can do a full text search using this solution.Could some body please recommend a solution to get me started.Thanks in advancedPaddy
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the need to delete old backup files via TSQL job. Found this solution online:
PushD "

It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?
We've tried attaching the mdf files given to us by some customers using the script they've provided, too.
I created the database with the corresponding names, and tried to run their script. However, I get the message "The media family on device 'D:DatabaseDVVAD01.mdf' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family."
What could possibly have gone wrong? Is it also possible that the file was not properly detached, or what?
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.
Howdy Folks,
I have a site on WS2003, IIS 6 installed on c:.
I put the site in a folder on d:. Nothing else is on d: except the web site.
I added a new website in IIS and pointed to the site on d:.
Using the default connectionString in machine.config, I am unable to connect to ASPNETDB.MDF. Therefors, I can not log in.
In SQL Server Management Studio Express, I attached ASPNETDB.MDF. I then am able to log in.
Does ASPNETDB.MDF have to be manually attched like this when the web site is located on a drive othr than where IIS is installed and running?
Thanks
Hi
I need your help in attaching an .mdf database (Created in SQL Server 2005 in another computer) to SQL server 2005. I tried the original way (right click>attache), but all I get is the following:
I recently installed the express edition of sql server express, I installed with all the default options and choose windows authorisation for login. I have tried to attach a database in studio mangement and it threw an exception about security and connection error, I presume I have no priviledges, but I have tried to grant myself rights and basically tried everything but I cant seem to get anywhere with it, would apprechiate some advise on this subject, and what steps I should take to setup and use and have complete rights to the database thanks in advance

I've created a database in sql server 2005, but now I need to detach this database and attach it in sql express. Is this possible? I keep getting an error that my database is readonly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I have a database that resides in SQL Server 7.0 that I can attach in Microsoft's SQL Server Management Studio Express and I can see all the tables from the database in that program.
My problem is that when ever I re open SQL Server Enterprise manager, the database that I attached to SSME, shows up as Database(Suspect). Now I am unable to view my tables in that database. Can anyone tell me what causes this, and how I can resolve that issue?
I need to have my sql server database, and sql server express edition database present in SSME because I am doing an import of data from SQL Server 7.0 to SQL server express.
Also, if there is another easier way to import data from SQL Server 7.0 to SQL Express edition, I would like to know...
Thanks in advance.
If I create a database in SQL Express and then copy the MDF/LDF files and attach them to a machine running SQL Server 2005 Standard - will this new database have SQL Express limitations?
Are there good reasons not to do this and create the database in SQL Server Standard using scripts generated from the SQL Express instance instead?
Basically, I'm setting up a merge replication between Standard and SQL Express for a common database and I figure attaching a copy of the database created in SQL Express is the fastest way to get this started.
Hello all!
Quick question... I've created my DB in MSSQLSMS, then attempted to created a stored procedure for it. The code itself is fine, I just need to know how to actually attach it so that it appears in the "Stored Procedures" section of my Database.
I have Right Clicked on Stored Procedures > New Stored Procedure... > Edited as required > Save
When I attempt to save it, it prompts me for a file. That's fine, did that - but I can't see ANY way to actually attach this to the DB.
Any help is appreciated!

I've stepped into a new environment and have never dealt with multiple data files on user databases only with Temp db.What would be the best way to get all my data files in sync. I have done this on databases that aren't that big in size or off in size by a lot. Here is what I have
Mdf -- 69 GB
ndf -- 3
ndf -- 3
ndf -- 3
ndf -- 3
ndf -- 4
ndf --4
ndf -- 2
I have installed SSAS on a 64 bit machine and am trying to connect to Oracle but having little success.
Some of the solutions I've read indicate to uninstall SSAS and then reinstall, making sure that the reinstall does not use the Program Files (x86) folder since Oracle has a problem with the parentheses.
Here's my question... How do you NOT install in the Program Files (x86) folder. It seems SQL Server always wants to put a small part in there.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a dumb question.

I have a database with one 320 .mdf file and one 200GB .ndf file.
I would like to reconfigure my database to have four 200GB .mdf files. How do I get from here to there?
I am using SSIS to load raw files into database. In my files I have columns Date which has format
1/1/2010 12:00:00 PM.
I want to load this column in format 1/1/2010 24:00:00. I mean in 24 hour format.

After the incremental process and full process, SSAS doesn't drop the index files #.xxx.fact.map and #.xxx.fact.map.hdr in the file.0.dim folder. We now have all the versions from 3 to 5000 sitting in the folder. The DBA team only found this when the disk is running out of space recently.
We've already check the account running the SSAS has local admin to the server.
Is there any config setting that might cause this issue? If not, what could it be causing this issue.
When opening .sql files, I get a connect to database engine prompt every single time. how to stop this from prompting vs. just using my current active connection?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?
