SQL Server Doesn't Recognize Local F G Drive Problem
May 8, 2008
I have a Windows Internal Database (installed by SharePoint WSS 3.0) and SQL Server Management Studio Express installed on W2K3 Std server. The server has local hard disk drive C, E, F & G. However SQL Server Management Studio Express only recognize C and E drive, for example in the set default database location or in attach database file dialog window only C & E drive are available. Anyone knows why and how to fix the problem?
Thanks
Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Hi, I just started working with Visual Web Devloper 2005 Express Developer and sql server 2005 Express Edition. My web is hosted with 1and1.com. They have informed me that I can't upload the database generated by the developer software and from what I understand, I will import those files into the mssqlserver database on my site. From my limited understanding, this is done from the backup file that is created from my local sql database. I didn't see a way to do that within VWD 2005 so I downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express. When I opened it I chose the SQLServer (sqlExpress) located on my computer. The connection seems to work fine. However when I go to open a file and open the database that is in my web I get an error that states that there is no editor and to be sure the aplication for file type .mdf has been installed.
I'm not sure where to go from here or if I'm even on the correct path.
I'm using DTS to import a text file (fixed field). In my sample data, I have 21 rows of data.
DTS only brings in 15 or so, because it fails to recognize the CRLF on some of the rows, and just treats it and the subsequent row as part of the previous row.
The text file is being produced via FTP from an IBM Iseries. It imports just fine into Notepad and Excel.
Anyone have any ideas why DTS would have trouble with this ?
I have a simple parent that uses an Execute Package Task to call a simple child package. The child package has a Data Flow that I disabled. When running the child package by itself, the data flow task is bypassed. When running the package via the parent the data flow task executes.
Second issue is when you disable the package configurations in the child, the parent doesn't recognize that it's diables and tries to load the configurations.
It's almost like there are some settings in a child that get ignored by the parent??
i had installed Sqlserver on drive E: before but i changed the drive letter to D: yesterday and now i can't start my sql server. how can i fix this problem?
I'm trying to build a new cluster with SQL Server 2K Enterprise onWindows 2003 server. When I run the install, I tell it to put theprogram files on the D: (local) drive and the data/log files on shareddrives. However, after the installation is complete, almost all thefiles go in the C: drive in program filesMicrosoft SQL Server, ratherthan the D: drive (it does create a few files on D:). We've experiencedthis on more than one server build.Anyone know any way around this?Post answers publicly, please, or email tosteven.wechsler(at)mtvstaff.com (the posting email address is hosed).Thanks,Steve
We are attempting to restore one of our databases from a backup that went to a local drive on the server. We see the backupset in the list but receive an error that it is not available when we try to use it. When we try to restore from device and select the files the drive letter is not available. When we attempt to enter the path to the file it can't locate it. We don't have space on our SAN to copy the backup there and we can't add the local drive to the cluster resources.
Hello, I need help with the setup of my sql server express 2005 and more specifically, with the location of the database files. Normally, database files are located on the c: drive. In my situation, being in a high school environnement, I need to have the database files on the network drive ... lets call it g:drive. The reason why it cannot be on c:drive is because this drive is protected using DeepFreeze. Now, I was able to change the location of the new drive as I went into the properties window of the sql server instance but when I try to create this new database, sql gives me grief ;-| I am from the group of people that thinks that to anything, there is a solution and am hoping that to this problem, there is hope of a solution. Can anyone help? Thank you
I want to perform backups to a network drive. I need to know if I can access the backup drive via UNC. I have not been able to get it to work and, for now, I would just like to know if what I am trying to do SHOULD work.
For example I want to backup to device mdtnts_prod02LM2BackupNameBack.DAT.
I've been working with SQL Server for a few years now and I've had quite a few cases where users cannot backup SQL to a network location or external hard drive. Why can SQL not do this? Is it some limitation of the speeds at which SQL needs to backup the information and the external hard drives/network drives do not meet the requirements?
for example : there is a bitmap file in my harddisk "c:a.bmp". How can I upload it to the db with the field "image" via mssql command, my DB is mssql database.
I have a 600 gig database that has a mirror. I need to move the databases from local drives to a SAN. Can anyone recommend a document that lists the steps to go through to move both the principle and mirror to the SAN with no down time? or minimal down time?
Hi, I have created an sql server 2005 maintenance plan for a daily backup. The plan has two 'Back up database task' i.e. one backup on the local drive while the second on a network drive. When the plan is executed, a backup is created on the local drive but not on the network drive. If i check the log, it says "Access Denied" whereas i have full access to the network drive with complete permissions to read, write and delete. Can anyone help me understand how to take a backup on both a local and network drive at the same time using a maintenance plan ? I shall be obliged... Regards...
We are seeing very high Average Disk Queue Length numbers in one of our clusters (both nodes of the cluster are Virtual, but have their own dedicated virtual environments). Our main data drive also houses TempDB, which I would like to move.
Each node in the Active/Passive cluster are running Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bit and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 64bit. There is a separate drive for Log files and data files.
The data files also have TempDB on them as previously mentioned. I am reading that you can set up a local disk on each node of the cluster, with the same drive letter and path and then move tempdb as you would with a stand alone SQL Server.
I am having a problem accessing my local A: drive, using the bulk insert command. The actual sql server pc thinks I am accessing its sql server's A: and not my local a: drive. I am trying to read in a simple CSV delimited ascii file into a sql table. Wow what a nightmare just to read a simple ascii file into a table. Unfortunatley I am writing a program in VB.net for an operator to import ascii data from floppy diskettes.
I am using this command below: The command works fine but I have to go to the actual server and put the floppy disk in over there. I want the operator to be able to use there own A: or any location drive for that matter. Sql server over the network is not allowing us to access any local drive to import this data. I get an error 21 because the sql server does not have the floppy in its drive. It seems like some kind of security issue, but I am not sure. Any information would be most appreciated in this matter. Thanks in advance.

This server has a Raid 5 Disk Array partitioned into three Logic Drives C:, S:, L:. Not sure, why the server was configured this way. If I attach the database with the data and log files on the same logical drive, the DB attaches successfully. When I try to put the data and log files on separate logical drives, it fails. Issue seems to be with the drive partitioning. Any Ideas?
The application (SQL2000 SP4) is running and appears to be functioning OK. The issue is that the SB Server doesn't recognize it, so when I try to add services to SBS, I fails the check. When I try to publish it to the AD, I get error 22039. MSCRM 3.0 is also installed on the same box and is working fine.
I have a maintenance job which has many job steps - checkdb, backup, rebuild index, etc...
I was asked to setup a job which will copy all backup files to a central location.
Now I wrote the script and its working good (part of a new job step)
But, I am now thinking to add some more logic in the job step:-
that is, if the previous job (server maintenance) is successfully completed with the backup job (if completed successfully), then only the copy to location job will start, if the other job step is failed, my copy bkp job will not run.
I have just upgraded from Report server 2005 to 2008 r2. I have a program that calls the report server to run some reports but I have getting the error Server did not recognize the value of http header SOAPAction:
[URL] .....
I can log in to the report server and run any report that I want without any issues.
We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
How to backup half of dbs from a server on C drive and the other half on D drive and vice versa, first half on D drive and other half On C drive using only one job and one stored procedure??
Using scheduling from job add 2 schedules to the job so first schedule backup first half to C and second half to D , the second schedule backup first half to D and second half to D.
I am facing a problem in connecting to the local database with server name as (local).
I have installed SQL Server 2005 in my machine. When I try to connect to the SQL server with the server name as SUNILKUMAR I am able to connect but when I try to connect to the same server with the server name as (local) I am not able to connect. SUNILKUMAR is my machine name and SQL server is running locally.
if anyone can help me what is the problem in this case it is highly appriciated.
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
1: TempDB keeps getting filled. Restart of the server has not fixed it. I shrink it, but the space gets filled again. Now I can't even shrink it anymore 2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there
I have a GridView that is populated by a stored procedure via linq. I changed the stored procedure to return an additional column, but I can't get the additional column to show up in the GridView. The GridView has autogeneratecolumns=true, so if I were using a SqlDataSource the new column would show up automagically. But now it is not showing up and I cannot reference it. I can't figure out how to make linq recognize that my stored procedure has changed. I have tried deleting the sproc definition from the dbml file, making sure the partial class is removed the .vb file, refreshing the stored procedures list in database explorer, and adding the sproc definition back again (a hassle), but still it insists on defining only the original columns and not the new column. How do get linq to get back in sync with the database?
What I need to do is get all of the records from T2 that don't match EXACTLY to a record in T1. So I figured a LEFT OUTER JOIN should work:
SELECTT2.* FROMT2 LEFT OUTER JOIN T1 ONT2.C1 = T1.C1 ANDT2.C2 = T1.C2 ANDT2.C3 = T1.C3 WHERET1.C1 IS NULL
But this statement returns the DENISE record when I do this (which has an EXACT match). So, my thoughts took me to the NULL values in T1.C2 and T2.C2 for this record and I thought that, perhaps, the NULL values aren't being recognized as being equal (as they are UNKNOWN). So I started digging around and found SET ANSI_NULLS OFF. I tried it but with no luck. Can you offer any insight on this one? What can I do to have NULL values recognized as being equal?
This is the result set that I would like to have returned in this example:
Our network people changed our machine name one character without our permission, they say their naming standards can't handle an "underscore" we put in our name...now the SQL Server won't run because it doesn't recognize the name of the machine.
Is there a way of bypassing or telling SQL server that we changed the name without having to reload all of our information?
I have MS SQL 2000 Standard edition licensed in "per device" mode on adual xeon. However the properties->Processor tab on EM only list 1 cpu(CPU 0) and has "use all available processors" selected and the use [#]is greyed out.Anybody else experience this? Is it really using both processors? Or doI have some limited product key? I called MS tech support but they werelike, "um that'll be $295 to open a support instance" <*click*>.Thanks!--~zillaPosted via http://dbforums.com
