SQL Server DB As Service Or Attached File ?
Apr 2, 2007
Hello,
I was wondering about the principles of SQL Server. In all of my books, they show me to attach the DB, even create the DB through Visual Studio 2005. Which creates a .mdf file and a .ldf file.
Ok, but I cannot open those files through SQL Server Management. The only DB I am able to manage through SQL Server Management is the ones created with it.
So my question is: For a Multi-User type Application, is there a problem to attach a network based file through VS2005, the same way as an access file ?
Again my keyword here is Multi-User. Sorry if this myth be a stupid question but I am used to MSAccess. SQL Server is a lot more complexe and I don't want to start in the wrong direction.
Thank you for your response.

Hi,
I have an interesting situation here. I have a SQL Server 2000 database which is attached to SQL Server 2005. The database (SQL 2000) however only has service pack 3 applied. I need to apply SP4 before I can move forward with SQL 2000->2005 upgrade. The question: can I somehow apply this support package with my current configuration or should I install full SQL 2000 front-end anew (which I don't have at the moment)? Whenever I try to run SQL 2000 SP4 it complains "SQL Server 2000 is not installed on this machine."
The server I try to install the update is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition x64. SQL Server 2000 database itself is x86 (obviously).
Thanks.

Hi allI have a question concerning sql database mdf files. In the old days I would user a ms access database. This file would be stored with the actual web files and would utilise a dsn connection. I have noted when designing with vwd 2005 express it allows you to use 2 methods of creating a mdf database. You can either create it as an attachment mdf or you can create it directly using sql manager. My question is, if you create the mdf database as an attachement file can you store it in the same manner as if you where using a ms access database, meaning can you store it with the web site's files so it uses the file storage allocated size and then create a connection similar to a dsn (but for sql) to the isp's sql engine or does it have to be uploaded to the isp' s sql server.The reason for this question is some of my customers do not want to pay the extra cost to have an sql allocation, however I do not want to go back to using old asp methods to create advanced sites as I prefer using stored procedures. Any help will be appreciated

I'm having some problems with SQL Server 2005. I installed the Personal Starter kit but don't have the Express edition installed so I attached the .mdf file to SQL Server 2005. That's ok and I also changed the connection string to integrated security.<add name="Personal" connectionString="Data Source=MyTestServer;Initial Catalog=Personal;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>I tried setting the security settings in the Management studio under Security | Logins | BUILTINAdministrators where I select the User mapping and check the checkbox before the Personal.mdf file. But this doesn't seem to do the trick. How can I set the correct security settings?

Hi all,I have a problem and need some ideas.What I have done: I created a page to upload an excel file into a SQL Server table along with some customer info (from the login, day, etc.). This excel file contains several rows (some of them may be blank) and columns (also some may be blank). The file is stored in an image object.The file will be checked (they want to do it manually, because contents is a problem). If they say it is OK, I want to run a program to add a record into an existing table with the request no. (from the first table, where the object is stored) and all the information available from the filled rows (first row is header). I have a column, which can be checked, if the row contains data or not.Any ideas?I know how to read from and write the contents of the object to a field in the SQL table. Can I use this?Thanks for any idea / code / link.

Hi. I am using VS 2005 and I want to create a database file (mdf) and have it on my server, but not have it attach to an instance of SQL server. Is this possible? The hosting I am using only allows for 1 SQL DB, and obviously doesn't allow you to attach instances of a DB. I would rather go with an mdf file that access, but not sure if this is possible. If anyone knows if it is and how to pull it off it would be GREAT!!

Hi, paws.
My server crashed recently, I didn't give to much importance because I knew that having access to the partitions I could recover my DB files and attach my database to my new server, and everything was fine until ... I found that my DTS Packages and Jobs where not in my Attached DB.
Now, where can I find these ?
Can you help a tormented man ?
Thanks in advance.

I attached .mdf and .ldf from the app_data folder in an asp.net web site. I set the configuration to SSPI. The trouble is, I get this error
requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'IN-XYZmattaniah'.
If I create a database and connect to it using SSPI I do not get this error. I assume there is something I am missing.

Hello,
I have attached a Sql Server table in an Access database.
This wasn't a problem, I can open my attached table from Access, use it in queries.
Now I'm trying to open it from an asp page, for example :
SQL="SELECT * FROM myAttachedTable"
Set Rs= server.createobject("ADODB.Recordset")
Rs.Open SQL, myAccessConnectionString , 3, 4
I get :
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][Pilote ODBC Microsoft Access] ODBC -- failed connection to 'My SQL Server'.
again if I enter the same sql query directly in Access it all works.
What am I missing ?
Thanks a lot

our clients have the flexibility to detach and attach databases (I know there are a lot of considerations around this but there is now way of changing it), once they attach a database we need to run some code to update a bunch of values in the database.
Other than creating a SQL Agent job are there any other options available to automatically execute a script once the database has been attached?

Hi all (newbie @ asp.net)(oldie @ ASP 3)What is the purpose of using an attached MDF database files in the App_Data folder on a web site as to importing it into the SQL server directly or creating it on the SQL server. Does a mdf database attached file purely use the SQL server as a connection interface.Is it something similiar to DSN(ODBC) Connections for ms access databases.

I have an almost virgin install of SQLExpres running on a WIN2K Pro system.
Have been able to create and connect db to Access 2000 without problem.
Now I wish to extend to remote connections. Using Surface Area Configuration tool, I changed Remote Connections to Local and Remote.
Whenever this setting contains TCP/IP and I try to restart the service I receive the following errors:
System Log:
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 10013.
Application Log:
Server TCP provider failed to listen on [ 'any' <ipv4> 0]. Tcp port is already in use.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0xa.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0x1.
Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
If I change back to Local Connections Only or Local and Remote using named pipes only, the service starts up again without a problem.
After five days of investigating, researching, reinstalling and waiting I have to ask for help.
Any suggestions or leads?
Thank You in advance.

Hello! I have the following problem. I developed CLR Stored Procedure "StartNotification" and deploy it on db. This sp calls external web service. Furthermore, this sp is called according with SQL Server Agent Job's schedule. On my PC SQL Server works under Local System account and this web service is called correctly (Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM). But on ther other server the following exception is raised during job running:
Date 17.04.2007 16:42:10
Log Job History (FailureNotificationJob)
Step ID 1
Server MSK-CDBPO-01
Job Name FailureNotificationJob
Step Name MainStep
Duration 00:00:00
Sql Severity 16
Sql Message ID 6522
Operator Emailed
Operator Net sent
Operator Paged
Retries Attempted 0
Message
Executed as user: CORPmssqlserver.
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution
of user defined routine or aggregate 'StartNotification':
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type
'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. System.Security.SecurityException:
at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand,
StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet)
at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand()
at System.Net. The step failed.
What is the reason of this behaviour? Unfortunately I do not have direct access to this server.
I have the following guesses:
1) CORPmssqlserver may have not enough permissions to call web service
2) Something wrong with SQL Server account's permissions
2) Something wrong with SQL Server Agent account's permissions
I will take the will for the deed. Thanks.

Hi all,
I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service.
What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?)
What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
Thanks in advanced!

I have two programs which access sql server 2005. One was written in vb6 the other in vb8 (aka vb.net 2005).
vb6 works well with this connection string:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Database=MyDbName;Data Source=.MyServerInstanceName
vb8 (in vs2005) generated the following connection string which works well in the vb8 application:
Data Source=.MyServerInstanceName;AttachDbFilename='C:MyDbPathMyDbName.mdf';Integrated Security=True
Within their own programs each connection string works well. However, if I use one program and then the other (e.g., vb8 program then vb6), I get an error message:
Unable to open the physical file "C:MyDbPathMyDbName.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot acces the file because it is being used by another process.)".
If I detach the database using SSMS, I can then access it with the other program. Obviously, this is not an ideal situation and not something I would want the end user to have to do.
Also, when using the vb6 connection string, SSMS lists the database in Object Explorer as: MyDbName. When using the vb8, the database is listed as C:MyDbPathMyDbName.mdf. BTW, the database is set for multi-user.
How can I get the two programs to place nice together?

Hi,
I was trying to figure out how to back up a database that has been attached to the SQL Express instance. I found on the web this tutorial and tried to use it, however it seems like it cannot find the database. The DB is attached by the web application using AttachDbFilename in the connectionstring.

Any ideas?

I used Query Analyser to De-tach a SQL 7 database and that worked fine. The database became 'invisible' in Enterprise Manager and the entry was removed from the sysdatabases in Master. The mdf and ldf file remain in the file system. However, when I ran the sp to Attach the database QA said successful but it does not show in Enterprise Manager or in sysdatabases in Master. I'm going to run through the procedure again and if problems I'll check the logs but has anyone else had difficulty with this. Also with attaching the db to a SQL2000 install I believe the logins on the SQL7 install are not brought over. In my case, the client is using trusted logins with their database application so their is probably not a lot to manually recreate on the SQL 2000 install but doees anyone have nay sample code/script that can give me an idea of what is required in the area of getting logins out of the Master of SQL7 and into SQL2000.
Great forum...
Have a great day,

If you re-attach a db to a different server, presumably you are shutting out your users (by them not having logins to the new server). If you are moving to a different domain I can only think that having the sa pwd and switching to "Mixed Authentication" would be the only way to get back in to start adding new logins/users, is that correct?

Is there a stored procedure to list attached databases?
You can do this:
use Master
exec sp_helpfile
go
Which shows you the config files for the current DB.
What if you want to do a multiple sp_detach_db? If you could get a list of the attached DB's you could recursilvely or conditioinaly detach.

Hello all,
I'm using SQL 2005 Express edition. I'm currently connecting to the database file directrly (from ASP.NET) and that db file is not attached to the server.
My question is this:
What is the difference ? Will the performance improve if the db is attached and I connect to it throught the server ? I'm really not sure what the difference is.
Thanks

Hey!
I need help getting all the users that are "attached" or "allowed" to access a given database and their login information. I do not know if this is even possible but I had tried to do my own research and cant figure it out/find any info on it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

When you have SQL Server Express installed, and you drop a database in App_Code it will be attached and you can browse it with Server Explorer in Visual Studio. Same when you choose Website -> ASP.NET Configuration, you get a new ASPNETDB database in App_Code and it will be attached.My question: is it normal behaviour that I cannot see these databases in the Object Browser in SQL Server Management Studio?For the record: I also have SQL Server 2005 Dev installed, so the Management Studio I have is not the Express edition.

i'm building a web page to help our support staff run and export their sql queries faster and more easily than going through the sql server manager. i found an article at codeproject [1] that i was able to customize to be more flexible, but i'm not sure how to get it to export the results of a query along with the comments that preceed the query.
for example, i have the following sql file: -- this query does a certain thing, and the comment can be pretty long at times, depending on how complicated the query is
select * from table where columnid > 100would anyone be able to tell me how to edit Kolluri's export function to allow for a comment section? alternatively if his way of doing an export is out of date, i'd be interested in a newer way. most importantly, though, i need to be able to export the comments along with query results.my ultimate goal is to have a drop down list of databases on the server, a list of query files (from a certain consolodated folder) for them to run on the chosen database, a "test query" function, and an export function that exports the comments and results.[1] http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/ExportClassLibrary.asp

I need to get a unique value to use for a record *before* the record is added to a table. It doesn't have to be contiguous with existing records, but it must always be unique, has to be persistent over multiple instantiations of an ASP.NET application, and has to work in that sort of a multi-session environment (where other sessions could need additional unique values before the first session gets around to actually adding a record to the table).
I considered generating and using unique CLSIDs for this, but the resulting value also needs to become part of the filename of some files that are being saved to the disk (and those names also saved in the table), and including text CLSIDs along with other filename data would make for some unpleasantly long and difficult to work with filenames.
I also don't think there's a practical way for me to use a trigger associated with an identity column for this, because I need to save files to disk using the unique value before I even know if the record will in fact end up being added to the table, and what's more, the numbers and names of those files will vary in ways that might be difficult to handle in a stored procedure.
What I'm thinking I will have to do is create a separate database table called something like "UniqueIDGen". This table would have a single record in it with a single integer value, initialized to a value of 1. Then, each time an ID is needed, this one record would be locked, read and incremented by 1. The only reason for doing it this way instead of with an application variable, as I see it, is that the values need to be unique and continue incrementing in perpetuity, no matter how many times the ASP.NET application is recycled or the server is rebooted.
But I still have to wonder if there might be a more efficient method provided by SQL Server for this type of unique value generation ... something that is equally as persistent without requiring an entire table with only a single record to be allocated to such a basic task. Does anyone know of a more elegant solution for this?

I attached my database to SQL 2005 but it's showing up as read-only for some reason. I've attached this before just fine in another instance of the Vista OS. Why would it attach differently this time compared to all other times and show read only?
The .mdb and .ldf files are not read only if you right-click and check out their properties.
