During installation of SQL Server 2000 I set the default location for data files as D:MySQLServer which resulted in the location D:MySQLServerMSSQL.
I then installed SQL Server 2005. I do not remember being given the option of specifying location for the Data Files. Then I read that the location for named instances is deteremined by the first installation of SQL Server. The location for the data files for SQL Server 2005 turned out to be MSSQL.1 but under C:Program Files.....
I want the default location for SQL Server 2005 to be under D:MySQLServer, something like D:MySQLServerMSSQL.1. How do I do I change the default location for the Data Files.
Hi, I am working on a new installation which I did not set up and realized was using the wrong partition of the server to store the data and log files, I have already created several databases, I want to use another partition for these databases without having to drop them and create them all over again. In BOLine i saw this command but want to make sure its safe, hope somebody can comment on this or if I am missing something.thank you
I added a secondary data file to TEMPdb yesterday and gave it a wrong location by mistake. If I try to change the location, then I am getting an error now. I think that is because TEMPdb is in use and that is why I cant change it's secondary file's location. Do I need to take TempDB offline and then change the secondary file's location??
Hey everyone I've got this question that has me stuck for the last few days but its an important part of my website.....What I am trying to do is basicly have a user be able to upload a file, have that uploaded file plus some other info automaticly display on other parts of my site, and have a different user eventually be able to download that file....I have thought about allowing the file upload as a BLOB but still cannot find a proper way to execute this using VB, plus I have heard that this way of doing it is not reccommeneded cause databases were not designed to store large files like this, lots of articles recommened having the file upload to a Folder on your server then get the binary data for the file that can be placed in a database to refrence that particular file.....Well this also proves to be a lot harder then said here is what I got so far (written in C#) protected void UploadBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (FileUpLoad1.HasFile) {
FileUpLoad1.SaveAs(@"C:Documents and SettingsAdamMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsWebsiteFiles" + FileUpLoad1.FileName); Label1.Text = "File Uploaded: " + FileUpLoad1.FileName; } else { Label1.Text = "No File Uploaded."; } } and here is the asp part of the code that goes with it<asp:FileUpLoad id="FileUpLoad1" runat="server" />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label> Now from what I know is I need to get the binary of the file which I have read you can do with the Page.Request.Files statement but again not sure how I would impliment this. Does anyone have any suggestions on which way I should take when dealing with this should I try and just use the BLOB method or use the binary refrence method? and if so how would I impliment this, heck even some good tutorials on the subject would be great... Thanks.....Adam
I am working on SQL Server 2014 and I want to know, Is it possible to change the location of SQL log file and will it affect to the database if it is possible to change its location?Â
I would like to change the default location where new databases are created.
In Server Management Studio, I right clicked my instance and selected Properties. I selected the Database Settings option and am presented with an option to change the Database Default Location (the location for databases and logs can be changed here). If I change the paths for the DB's and logs, and create a new DB, the new files are saved to the new default location paths that I just entered.
My question is this:
If I change these paths, will my system databases (master, model, msdb, tempdb) still be accessible and usable by SQL server? I don't need (want) to change the location of these files, only all my other databases and logs.
I have one column in SQL Server 2005 of data type VARCHAR(4000).
I have imported sql Server 2005 database data into one mdb file.After importing a data into the mdb file, above column data type converted into the memo type in the Access database.
now when I am trying to import a data from this MS Access File(db1.mdb) into the another SQL Server 2005 database, got the error of Unicode Converting a memo data type conversion in Export/Import data wizard.
Could you please let me know what is the reason?
I know that memo data type does not supported into the SQl Server 2005.
I am with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with SP2.
Please help me to understans this issue correctly?
I'm trying to install the Eval copy of SQL Server 2005 on a Win2k Server computer. The error message that
"The drop location is missing file(s) that allow setup to determine how a multi instance product should be installed. Setup cannot continue, please repair the drop and try again."
I have just installed SQL Server 2005. I was not given a choice during installation (that I remember seeing anyway) about which drive I wanted to place the default SQL instance on.
It ended up on C: and I needed it on D:.
So my questions are:
Is there a way to move it to D: that is easier than the way you had to go about it in SQL 2000? Is there a way to do it during setup so I can avoid this in the future?
Hey all, WE have a document management system where by Adminstrators can upload documents, once the document is uploaded the binary data is stored on in a folder on the web server. We used to stored the documents in the actaul db table, but we found that there were to many documents and it was using alot of space on db server. So my boss has decided we are now going to upload the binary data onto the web server. Currently we are donig this with new documents which have been added or documents which are gettinguploaded when reloading, but there are many documents in the db table which have not been updated and are still embedded in the db table. So i need to figure out how to go about copying the data storewd in the db table and storing it in web servers folder location. I've tried various things for a enitre day but im going round in circiles. MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream((Byte[])dtrResults["file"]); BinaryReader bReader = new BinaryReader(mStream); int intFileSize = (int)mStream.Length; Byte[] byteFile = (Byte[])dtrResults["file"]; i can get to this state but then how do i create a folder on the BinaryREader to then store the binary data of the file to the location. BinaryReader bReader2 = new BinaryReader(File.Open(strDocFolder + strSavedFileName, FileMode.Create)); int count2 = bReader2.Read(byteFile, 0, intFileSize); bReader2.Close();i've also tried this but when the file gets created in the folder there is no content. i do know that the file does contain content as ive tried this and downlaoding the file from that page acctually works string strContentTpe = WValue.WStr(dtrResults["contenttype"]); int intFileSize = VValue.VInt(dtrResults["filesize"]); / Byte[] byteFile = ((Byte[])dtrResults["file"]); //Downloads the data correctly Response.ClearContent(); Response.ClearHeaders(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="" + WValue.WStr(dtrResults["docfilename"]) + """); Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", WValue.WStr(intFileSize)); Response.ContentType = strContentTpe; Response.BinaryWrite(byteFile); I hope ive made some snese andthat someone can hlep me. Have a nice dayZal
I am finding that in order to have the Web Services Task work successfully the location of the WSDL file has to be on a local drive that SSIS is executing upon. Is the current intended behavior?
In my SSIS task I use a URL path to store information extracted from the Web Service. The information is stored on a different server than the one that SSIS is running upon. This works properly without error.
I have confirmed that SSIS has appropriate permissions to read/write to that directory on that server. When I attempt to reference the WSDL file (located in the same URL directory that I am saving the information) I get a web services error, 'The Web Services Name is empty, Verify that a valid web service name is available."
When I update the Web Service Task attribute to point to the WSDL file located on a local drive it works correctly. I have confirmed that both WSDL documents are exactly the same.
The behavior seems a little strange...so I must be missing something subtle.
I am so new to SQL Server 2005 and just studying. Saying that... We use SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Some one sent me a file (info.mdb) and asked me to load the data in this file in to a table called Products and also asked me to load in another table (ProdCat) where id = 'X05'. So being not knowing anyting regarding data loading etc, how should I do this and proceed? The .mdb means its a Access database file? If that is the case, I dont have Access in my machine and what should I do?
Hello, Any body helop me in such respect that my log file was corrupt. I have mdf file only. Is there any tool to recover data from mdf file or export data to any other db.
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
I try to import data from excel file, my excel file have column called Name, the value of this column is text: ex: Binh Chanh, 1,2,3,4,5.....When i import into sqlserver 2005, these rows which have value 1,2,3,4,5 (number) , now have Null value in SQL server 2005.
I had to to relocate the database log file and I issued an Alter database command but by mistake I put a space in the file name as below. The space is at the beginning file name. Now I am unable get the database loaded to SQL Server. The database has 2 replications configured, so deleting and re-attaching the database means the replication needs to be re-configured. Is there an alternative way to issue a command to update the database FILENAME ? Not sure if this can be edited in master database (sys files).
ALTER DATABASE [User_DB] MODIFY FILE (NAME = User_DB_log, FILENAME = 'I:SQLLogs User_DB_log.ldf') GO
Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?
Does anyone have any great suggestions on how I can import an online XML file into an SQL 2005 table?
So far I tried to accomplish it with SSIS Data Flow Task where my source is XML Source (Data access mode: XML file location; XML location: URL, Use inline schema = True). This set up properly identified the columns to be imported.
I used Copy Column data flow transformation task to load data to OLE DB destination table that has same structure.
When I run the task it does execute with no errors, however the table remains empty. It looks like I am failing to read the actual data.
Do you have any suggestions? I am willing to go around this approach with stored procs/com/you name it €“ just make it work!
Easy question, I hope We are setting up an active active sql cluster. The management have done everything the wrong way around and purchased the hardware already.
We are planning on having 2 databases 1 in each instance. We will place the transaction log files for each database on their own cluster "physical disk" resource. We only have 4 disks availalbe for the transaction log files. To make things a little more complicated I have been given no information on the expected transaction use other than they should be no larger than 50GB
Here are my options
1. 2 Mirrored raid arrays one for each sql instance 2. 1 Raid 10 array with 2 logical drives (so the transaction logs are sharing the same disk spindles)
What would you do? seperate the disk spindles or share them and go for fast disk performace.
Is the name of the most recent backup file for each database stored anywhere in SQL2K? I want execute a SQA job periodically that takes the BAK from database A and restores it over database B (using the T-SQL RESTORE DATABASE procedure), but I need to know the exact name of the .BAK file; i.e. I need to know the yyyymmddhhmm value at the end of that file.
I've got some users that created a database with the log file on a drive that doesn't have a lot of space. I'd like to truncate the log and move it to a different drive. I can truncate it, but is moving it as easy as changing the files properties through SSMS?
version:SQL Server 2000. db size: 25.6GB trans log file: 32GB so far: I have read the Forum FAQ on "clearing the transaction file" and some DBCC SHRINK in Books Online.
I am trying to set up maintenance plan or backup plan. File sizes are getting very large and performance is horrible since we have had no regular maintainence in the past (No DBA in house).
1. What is the best way to identify the location of the transaction log file associated with a particular database?
When I right-click on the database name in Enterprise Manager and select properties, I can see one location for the transaction log.
However, If I right-click on the database > All Tasks > Shrink Database > click Files and select Temp_Table_Log, I get a different location.
2. We delete then repopulate about 105000 records in one particular table each day. In addition, we do the same with about a hundred rows in several other tables daily. -- Should I be doing Full Backups nightly? -- I have the option set to "AutoShrink" on the db. Will this truncate and shrink the transaction log as well as shrink the db when I do a full backup?
I am requested to list out SQL Server setup file location but a bit confused with it, I can see two setup files in two different locations:
All Programms>Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2>Configuration Tools>SQL Server Installation Center (64bit)>Right Click>Open File Location:Â Directing to LandingPage C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100Setup BootstrapSQLServer2008R2x64
But here below it is found the setup file location:
Is it possible to set the log file location during installation? I don't see an option under Advanced. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have an FTP server that will be receiving files. The directory and file structure will be a folder with a client name (can be called anything) and it will have files in it (these files will have the same filenames as all the other directories. So I will have folder JimmyDoe with files a.txt, b.txt, c.txt and I will have JonnyDue with files a.txt, b.txt, and c.txt.
Now I'm trying to figure out a way to get that dynamic file location to a DTS package so I can import all the data from the text file into a SQL server. The way the SQL server will be set up is that each Folder from the FTP site will be a separate Database and each file will 1:1 with a table with the same name..
My biggest issue is figuring out a way to tell the DTS package the file location to pull all those files and then importing them to the proper database.
I'm not limiting the solution to DTS packages so if .NET can be incorporated to make it easier then so be it. But keep in mind I can have up to 200 folders with 12 - 20 text files ranging from hundreds of rows of data to many thousands of rows. And the package needs to be ran twice a day so time/performance is an issue.
To recap: Need DTS package that uses Dynamic file source and transfers data to Dynamic database destination.
(And I'll write slow VB.NET code to handle this before I create/manage 200+ DTS packages as a solution)
I want to change the default backup location of MSSQL. I know we can configure it while installing. But I want to change the default backup location of a particular database, running on a database server.

I'm writing a script for a pending migration (2k enterprise to 2k5x64 enterprise). I've got about 325 or so databases, spanned across 3 instances that I need to migrate. My plan is to do a mass scripted detach of all DBs of the old boxes, copy the files (on a new domain) and then reattach all of the mdf and ldf files.
I've been writing a sql script that will scan a "staging" directory for each of the MDF and LDF files, then programmatically run sp_attachdb. The problem is that the mdf and ldf files weren't always a 1 to 1 naming convention. My predecessors stuck all sorts of things in the file names that make doing a simple scripted search pretty difficult. The disk paths are going to be different from server to server (simpler), so I need to move the files
Is there a way (using sp_attachdb or otherwise) that I could somehow scan each of the MDF files to get the path of the LDF? I can already do that with a .bak file using the RESTORE FILELISTONLY command, but I'm not sure how to do it like this. I'm figuring there has to be a way though, as SSMS seems to know where the LDF is if you try to attach an MDF.
Usually, Google does well, but I haven't been able to find anything as of yet. Any ideas?
I want to move index file(69 gb) to different location.Right now data and index files are on the same drive(e), I am trying to move index files from e drive to f drive, so I will get 69 gb free on e drive . Can anyone please advise me what precautions I should take and advise best practice.
I asked this before and was told that it was an option on setup, but for the life of my I can't find it.
I have a requirement for all the transaction logs to go to a separate drive (L:), I would like to be able to specify this location as part of the install but I don't see the option. I have been successful doing so after the install but it is a bit annoying to have to do it that way when it seems like the install should have this option. I am reaching out once more to see if anyone can tell me if I am missing something in the install process that will allow me to do this?
I have a requirement to have all the transaction logs for our SQL Server databases go to a drive letter L: - I would like to do this during the install process but I don't see any way to specify in the setup. I am able to go in and do it after the install but it is a bit of a pain to do.
Anyone know how I can do this in the install itself?
