Cannot Attach Mdf: Create File Encountered Operating System Error 5 While Attempting To Open The Physical File...

Sep 5, 2006

I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.

Any way I can recover it?

Thanks.

.mdf File In Virtual Directory And Physical Folder, Which One Should I Attach To Sql Server Management Studio Express

Jun 26, 2007

I have a an asp.net application running under IIS. this application is using two folders, the virtual directory under C:Inetpubwwwroot and the application phisical folder at C:.
I want to manage this applications .mdf database using microsoft sql server management studio express(iam running sql express with advanced services) which means i have to attach the database to Ms sql server managemet studio express tool.
What i dont know is if i should attach the .mdf file in the physical folder's App_Data folder at C:myapplicationFolderApp_data or the .mdf file in the virtual directory under C:InetpubwwwrootMyapplicationFolderApp_Data
I dont know which of the two i should attach. Where exactly is the running database, the .mdf file in the physical folder or the .mdf file in the virtual directory under wwwroot.

Unable To Open The Physical Mdf File Or Log File Because It Is Being Used By Another Process

Dec 4, 2007


Unable to open the physical mdf file or log file because it is being used by another process

I am trying to write a Windows Application using ASP.NET 2.0, C#2005 EXPRESS, and SQL 2005 EXPRESS.

I had followed the introductory video to create a connection to the Database using Windows Authentication, and use the wizard to create a dataset and checking all the tables in the database.

After that I dragged a table from the data source created from the above process. The Details Grid so created is able to perform update, delete and addition of records.

But when I went back to the database at my PC I wasn€™t able to connect to the database. And if I opened the database first and then load the windows application and perform some database operations and went back to the physical database I wasn€™t able to open the tables in the database.

The error message is that the physical database connection cannot open the .mdf file or log file because another process is using the database. I guess it refers to the Windows Application.

Is this normal? Will it have any implications after the application is deployed? I suppose that there isn€™t a scenario where a Windows application and a physical process will access the database at the same time.

Will appreciate some feedback and advice on this scenario and whether it is a problem.

Thanks and regards

Unable To Open The Physical File.....

Apr 7, 2006

Hi, i'm trying to interface a c# application with an sql database created with Visual Web Developer Express.
I have published the site (and the db) on iis 5 (xp pro).
Everithing goes fine on accessing the database from internet,but when i try to connect the db while it's opened with my c# program  i keep an error in the sqlconnection open command:
Unable to open the physical file "C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The file is in use by another process.)".
My connection string from webconfig:
<add name="MYDBCS" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=&quot;C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
.....and  the connection string for the c# program:
"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=c:myapp_datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=False;Connect Timeout=30;User ID=abc;Password=abc;Trusted_Connection=False;";
I have used a user to connect the database because there was a conflict trying to open the db with Integrated Security=True.
 
Does anyone have an idea where is the error?
Many  thanks

Actual Physical File Size

Jun 21, 2004

Hi Everybody,
I like to compute the actual physical database file size using queries.

From the EM database properties, the file size shown is not matching with the master..sysaltfiles.size

Ex. Actual file size is 12MB and 1MB for MDF & LDF respectively.
'sysaltfiles' shows 1464 & 96 resp. Since they are shoing it as 8K Pages,
96*8 = 768KB is not matching with 1024KB for the LDF file.
Is there any overheads (additional space from the physical file for file headers) allocated?

Thanks
Babu

Multiple Backslashes In Physical File Name

Oct 2, 2006

Accidentally, I've managed to have this as part of a Create Database:

... FILENAME = N'C:MSSQLData\ estdb_Log.LDF' ...

, notice the triple backslash. The Create Database statement works fine,
and sp_helpdb says the log file name is:

C:MSSQLData\ estdb_Log.LDF

I noticed the MSDOS command prompt also allows multiple backslashes,
they're reduced to one when performing the command and I guess
SQL Server does the same thing, so no problem so far really.

But is it supposed to work this way? Quite confusing, isn't it?

I have been able to successfully restore the backup to the same database and change the physical file names using the RelocateFiles property on the Restore object, but not change both.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Move Log File To Another Physical Disk

Jul 13, 2007

Hi everyone,

Due to running out of disk space and reducing I/O contention, I plan to seperate data files and log files to different disk arrays.

My plan is to
- detach all databases
- copy log files to another disk
- attach all databases

The total size of log files is about 60GB. It becomes a problem becasue it spend too much time passing files. To reduce down time, is there any way I can do?

Can I just create new log files and remove the current files by using sql management studio?

any other suggestions? Thanks in advance

Unable To Open Physical File ...

Apr 24, 2008

Using SQL Server 2005 Express SP2.

Scenario : I have VC++ 2005 Express IDE open and use the database explorer to browse tables in a database. Then I open SQL Server Managament Studio Express and try to browse the same database. I get "Unable to open the physical file ... The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".

What is this "other process" that is trying to open the file? I thought the whole point of a database server was that clients talk to the server, and the server accesses the physical file. So only one process should be accessing the file. Do VC++ IDE and SSMSE work directly with the physical file, or do they channel their requests, etc. through the server.


Or is it something completly different?

Thanks,
Russel Dirks

Help - Error: Unable To Open The Physical File

May 17, 2007

Hi, I've just finished creating my first ASP.NET website. I created it on my laptop and it works perfectly, but I'm having some problems deploying it to my web server (PC).The site works ok, but when I try to log in to my client area, I get this error:
"Unable to open the physical file "c:inetpubwwwrootONeillStrataApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:inetpubwwwrootONeillStrataApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I've searched far and wide for a solution and have read many articles, but none seem to be able to fix my problem. I've tried using that SEUtil tool, but that didn't work, I've made sure the App_Data directory on the web server isn't read only (the read-only checkbox isn't ticked, but it DOES have that little green square which I can't get rid of), I've assigned the ASPNET user as a db owner and that didn't work and I've manually attached the database to the web server's instance of SQL Express 2005.When I launch the solution in VS2005 on the web server, I can browse through the database and see the tables and data etc, but when I try to run the application, I get that message above...
Surely it shouldn't be this hard to get it going?Any help would be massively appreciated.

An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File (file Location).../Database.mdf Failed. A Database With The Same Name Exists, Or Specified File Cannot Be Opened, Or It Is Located On UNC Share.

Sep 2, 2007

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
 I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
 Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J

Unable To Open The Physical File. Operating Error

May 9, 2006

Hi.. !!

I am working in a C# database application quick test where I basically use two types of access to an SQL Server Express database.
In the first part of the code, I use the traditional connection declaring a SqlConnection. When I just use only this kind of connection I do not have any problem. The issue starts when I access to the same database using Data Bindigs at the same time. When I start the application I got and error as soon as the instruction goes to open the data base connection.
The reported error is "Unable to open the physical file "<Niños.mdf>". Operating System Error 32: (Process does not have access to the file because is being using by another process)"

For additional information my connection string is:

"Data Source = localhost\SQLExpress; Initial Catalog = Niños; Integrated Security = True; User Instance = false"

Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks
Alfredo.

RESOLVED RESOLVED An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File &&<file String&&> Failed &&>&&>&&> But ONLY After SSE Reinstall

Sep 16, 2007

RESOLVED RESOLVED RESOLVED

DOH! When I rebuilt the OS, I changed the data partition ID's, and didn't remember to change them in the connetion strings

Not great, but better than continuing to bang head against wall.

Would like to say to MS appreciators that the VS2005 reinstall actually went quite well, considering.

===========================================================================





I built an app, works fine. Had the development environment working fine (VS2005 (SP0) and SQL Server Express). It had been stable for months, no problem.


Then I had to reinstall XP Pro...(finally threw too many conflicting programs into it, I guess...)


I managed to get VS2005 reinstalled ok. However, when I opened and compiled my existing app in VS2005, using Cassini, I got the dreaded error:

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file <file string> failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

I also get this error for the compiled copy of the app on the same machine, running on IIS. (Where it also previously worked fine).


The Connection strings are all of the form

connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=(specific file string).MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"


I appreciate that there are zillions of posts on this issue. I'm hoping that someone might know why this should happen in this particular case.


The thing that's different about this case is that the app was working fine; I have the app deployed on a demo machine and also on a remote server as well as on the development machine.


The only thing that changed is that there was this fresh install of SQL Server Express.


I tried using >> sp_configure user instances enabled','1';RECONFIGURE <<< in SSMSEE, which took, but didn't help.


So something is different in SSE. Since the app is stable everywhere else, I REALLY don't want to go through and adjust the connection strings...MUCH better to figure out what SSE needs to be happy with the existing connection strings...as it was before.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT----TRIED SOME THINGS:




Changed folder and file permissions to allow ASPNET full access to the .mdf's and log files (though never had to do this before on the development machine.) No change...

Can see the table contents within the .mdf through SSMSE, and also through Server Explorer in VS2005.

So because the problem happens with both IIS and Cassini, I'm assuming it's got to be an issue between ASPNET and SSE.

EDIT --- TRIED SOME MORE THINGS:

I dimly remember that when I had this problem before, it was that the error message was too "dumb". It wasn't my file that had the permissions problems, it was that the SSE System Databases had to have permissions with respect to ASPNET.

I tried to set that up but I'm a complete newb on this area, so I don't know if I did it right. In SSMSE I created a Login for MyComputer/ASPNET, and gave it all permissions and roles, and then made it an owner for the four system databases...but no joy.

Any pointers on this last piece would be helpful.

EDIT - MORE INFO

An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File...failed. A Database With The Same Name Exists, Or Specified File Cannot Be

Mar 24, 2006

I know allot of folks are having this problem and I tried lots of things but nothing works. I understand the problem is coping the SQL Express on another server is the problem - I just not sure what to do?

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42

This is the last statement on the Stack Trace:

SqlException (0x80131904): An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file e:wwwdata81d0493fwwwApp_DataTestDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.]
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) +735091

I checked my server forum and they said I had to name a database:
Example: Database=(unique name);

But this didn't work either.

I just tried a simple web project that has only one database and one table in SQL Express with one sqldatasource and one datagrid. It works fine on my pc but when I use the copy function in Visio Studio 2005 Pro - I can't run the site on the remote server: www.myjewelrydirect.com

I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:

<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TestDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

With all the comments in these forums - this must be a bug.

I have been working on this problem for over 2 weeks - HELP!
