The problem is SQL server could not attach files which are not on the same server?
i have a backup file copied on my machine, and not being able to restore because SQL attempts to access the FileList from the original sourec location, which is not present / over the network.
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?
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
In SQL Server 2000, I would like to attach a Database that is the file of the Database on another system. I made a copy of my Client's Database at his site. Now I would like to attach it to my server and then copy the data from my Client's DB to mine.
The only problem is they have the same file names, so when I try to attach the copy I get an error message. Is there any way to change the name of the data file and log file that a database points to so that I can attach it to my Server?
Using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express when trying to attach a database, and clicking the Add button, the folder hierarchy appears, but access to personal folders is restricted. How can this be fixed?
First, let me say that I have already reviewed information posted by experts within the chat area.
Someone completely deleted my SQL Server 7 database. I retrieved the .LDF and .MDF files from a network backup. Now I am trying to attach the database. I have tried this without creating an instance of the database by using the attach stored procedure to attache the .LDF and .MDF files I retrieved from the network backup. Also, I have tried it by creating an instance of the database and doing a detach of the newly created db .LDF and .MDF files and an attach of the .LDF and .MDF files I retrieved from the network backup. Neither of these approaches have worked.
Here is what I have tried in the Query Analyzer, but to no avail:
For the following example, I created a database instance called 'qarun_diamond_48_brett' with brand new .ldf and .mdf files and then tried to detach and then attach the .ldf and .mdf files from the network backup:
use master go sp_detach_db 'qarun_diamond_48_brett', 'F:APPSSQL 7.0DatabaseDataqarun_diamond_48_brett_log.ldf'
I tried the following attaches of the retrieved/recoverd .ldf and .mdf from the network to the newly created db instance. That didn't work, so I tried attaching to a db that had not yet been created.
use master go sp_attach_db 'qarun_diamond_48_brett2', 'F:APPSSQL 7.0DatabaseDataqarun_diamond_48_brett2_log.ldf'
Message: Server: Msg 1801, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Database 'qarun_diamond_48_brett' already exists.
If I use a different db name I get the following error: Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 13, Line 1 Device activation error. The physical file name 'qarun_diamond_48_brett' may be incorrect.
use master go sp_attach_db 'qarun_diamond_48_brett2', 'F:APPSSQL 7.0DatabaseDataqarun_diamond_48_brett2.mdf'
Message: Server: Msg 1801, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Database 'qarun_diamond_48_brett' already exists.
I have also tried these statements wtih the EXEC sp_attach_db and EXEC sp_detach_db commands from within the Master db in Query Analyzer.
Just to verify that this was an issue, I downloaded web developer 2008 and I do not experience this same problem.
BUT when I go to add a dataset in vs2005 for an asp website - all my db files come up in the dialogue box but everyone that click (every db file) I get "This file is in use. Please enter a new name or close the file that's open in another program."
But, like I said, I downloaded 2008 and it does not occur. Plus I KNOW that the db's are not being used. Can someone give me a remedy to this?
I had a database running under a SQL Server 2000 server. I detached it and then attached it to a 2005 Server. I the detached it from the 2005 server and tried to re-attach it to the 2000 server. I got this error message:
I cannot attach mdf files which i have substituted and reloaded sQl 2000 and 2005 after formatting my pc both of the sales gives errormdfs which i formatted and attached without any problem, now make a fussi thought that there may be problems with my files and i attached from my elder substitutes or from any other sample which i had downloaded from net, but still i have the same warningi have formatted my pc several times and tested themfor instance i tried to load only the sQl 2000 and to attach the mdfs which i have generated with sQl2000in case there is a superposition but i still have the same warningdo you have any idea ??the error message is below;TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio------------------------------ Attach database failed for Server 'ASUS'.

I don't have any back up from this data base and I have to attach this .mdf.

Is there any other way of opening this file or is there anybody who use sql server 2005 could help me to open this file and export it somewhere else for me...
I'm trying to attach a local mdf file to a remote Sql Server 2005 using Sql Server Management Studio. When I click add I can only browse what seems to be drive c of the server. How can I attach a mdf file from my local machine to a remote server?
I have done this many times in the past but now I am seeing a error when I try to move my db from my local machine to the server and try to re attach it. The error I am receiving is: TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express------------------------------ Failed to retrieve data for this request.

When I right click the files and check their permissions I am noticing when its moved to the server it adds a few new ones and I can't make changes to them or anyting else. That is the only difference I am seeing from the ones I did earlier this week and now with the ones that are not working. I can't find anything in sql on what might cause this so any direction would be great.
What problems could be invoked by stopping SQL Server and copying a user databases data and log files and pasting these files over existing files on another machine.
Ex: MyDB on Server1 MyDB on Server2 Stop SQL Server Server1 and Server2 Copy Server1.MyDB files Over write Server2.MyDB files Start SQL Server Server1 and Server2
Make sense. This scenerio seems to work but wonder what side affects could result.
I am very inexperienced with the Administration side of SQL Server 2005.
I have been given a .bak file which I need to restore onto my SQL Server. The database .bak file was created on another PC and I cannot seem to restore/recover the .bak file onto my SQL Server.
We have a DB on sql server 2000 64 bit and the build is 2187.
The database consisted of two transaction log files and several data files at the time we took backup. However, the backup taken was a cold backup (backup of files through OS). In this backupset, one transaction log file was skipped due to some error...... Now I want to restore the database for referring to some history data. Will I be able to attach the database with all MDF and one of the transaction log files.??
I heard this kind of recovery is not possible. If anybody can post some solution , I would be grateful...!!
My last post was terminated without the error message. To recap, I am unable to re-attach a database to a SQL server 2000 server after I detached it and attached it to a 2005 Server. When I detached it from the 2005 server and tried to re-attach it to the 2000 server I got the following error message:
" Error 5123: CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(Access denied) while attempting to create the physical file ..."
I tried using both the 2005 Server Management Studio and the 2000 Enterprise manager to do the re-attachement but got the same error message.
I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.
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?
I am trying to attached database which is My Documents using SQL Express, but when it goes to C:Documents and SettingsRAFAL I can not see any folders below.... I can see folders in Explorer! Is this some kind of bug? I am using SQl Express 2005. I have shared C:Documents and SettingsRAFAL folder with everyone. Also another problem is that when attaching database it does not rememeber the last path I was attaching from...
I've got a question regarding attaching/restoring of DBs and wonder if anyone could help me out.
Does SQL Server 2000 provide a functionality to attach/restore DB automatically? ie, some kind of polling service to attach/restore DB that were detached previously?
I am trying to attach a network database to my sql server express
After some reading I "Enabled" tcp/ip, named pipes, and shared memory in sql server confiuration manager.
But when I go to "Attach Database" in Sql Express managemnent studio. It does not show the network drives much less allow me to attach anything on a network drive.
What am I missing here?
If I install sql server on the network machine will my local Sql express recognize it?
