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.

DB Engine :: Unable To Open Physical File - Operating System Error 5

Apr 16, 2008

I am trying to attach a database to SQL 2005. This database has not previously been attached. I have only just installed SQL.

I get the following message: Unable to open physical file "C:ArrowSQLArr@DataArrow_data.mdf" Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)" (Microsoft SQL Server: Error 5120)".

I have loaded SQL and the database fiel and directory with the same user account which is a local administrator on this machine. I have checked that I have read/write access to the file.

The machine runs Windows Vista Business. SQL has SP 2 loaded. What causes this?

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.

Hi,

We have a very severe issue in our production, and this is very very ugent to fix this issue, there was a job started on server on 10th October, 2007, for backup of database of 3.2 TB, which caused this issue on 18th October, 2007.
I cancelled that job and even restarted the server, but still there is same issue on the server.

I am using this command to expand the physical file,

ALTER DATABASE [ODS] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'ODSFG33File1', SIZE = 307200000KB )

Error:

MODIFY FILE encountered operating system error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) while attempting to expand the physical file.

24GB of RAM
MS Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition with SP1
MS SQL Server 2005 (9.0.3152) Enterprise Edition with SP2

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.

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="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

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

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

FCB::Open: Operating System Error 32(The Process Cannot Access The File Because It Is Being Used By Another Process.) Occurred W

Dec 3, 2007

Hello all,
I am running into an interesting scenario on my desktop. I'm running developer edition on Windows XP Professional (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Developer Edition). OS is autopatched via corporate policy and I saw some patches go in last week. This machine is also a hand-me-down so I don't have a clean install of the databases on the machine but I am local admin.

So, starting last week after a forced remote reboot (also a policy) I noticed a few of the databases didn't start back up. I chalked it up to the hard shutdown and went along my merry way. Friday however I know I shut my machine down nicely and this morning when I booted up, I was in the same state I was last Wenesday. 7 of the 18 databases on my machine came up with

FCB:pen: Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) occurred while creating or opening file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.
and it also logs
FCB:pen failed: Could not open file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.).

I've caught references to the auto close feature being a possible culprit, no dice as the databases in question are set to False. Recovery mode varies on the databases from Simple to Full. If I cycle the SQL Server service, whatever transient issue it was having with those files is gone.
As much as I'd love to disable the virus scanner, network security would not be amused. The data and log files appear to have the same permissions as unaffected database files. Nothing's set to read only or archive as I've caught on other forums as possible gremlins. I have sufficient disk space and the databases are set for unrestricted growth.

Any thoughts on what I could look at? If it was everything coming up in RECOVERY_PENDING it's make more sense to me than a hit or miss type of thing I'm experiencing now.

Error: 5123 CREATE FILE Encountered Operating System Error 5A(Access Denied.)

Mar 22, 2006

HI ,

This is a problem I encountered when I had to detach a database file (type .mdf):

1) I went to the MS SQL Management Server Studi and detached my database file successfully from a connection called Workhorse.

2) I needed to place the .mdf database file into a zip file in order to put it on a remote server. I did this using Shared Portal. This was also successful

3) However when I tried reattaching the database file, I got this error:

CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5A(Access denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file "CProgram FilesMSSQL ServerMSSQLData<databasename>.mdf'

Q) The database file and log file (ldf) exist in the correct directory so I don't know what happened. Can any one help?

Thanks much

Unable To Open BCP Host Data-file

Feb 13, 2007

I am having trouble with BCP. I get the same error with xp_cmdshell as I do with entering bcp as a DOS command. I have checked and rechecked the file names and permissions and even restart the PC.

Does BCP even work when SQL Server 2005 Express on a PC?

declare @sql varchar(8000)
select @sql = 'bcp SYMITAR..ACCOUNT in C: estEXTRACT.ACCOUNT -T -f C: estACCOUNT.FMT -S'+@@servername

Could the fact that it's actually pulling BCP from c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80Toolsinn be a problem? I know this because it doesn't recognize the -x extensionof the bcp command.

...

I added the c: est to the path and removed c:Program FilesMicrosoft
SQL Server80Toolsinn from the path. While it recognizes the -x
extension now it still gets the same error message:

SQL EXPRESS WOES!!! Unable To Open The Pysical File...

Jul 13, 2005

Well, I'm to the point of giving up. If there was a 1-800 # that charged $400 /minute for support at this point I would pay it! I have been developing an ASP.net 2.0 web application that basically has login security. I have been struggling to get this thing to work. On my local machine it works fine, but when I copy the code (including the ASPNETDB.mdf that is in the APP_Data directory) over to a web server, I get to the login screen but when I attempt to login I get an error.

SQL Server 2008 :: Unable To Open Database File (MDF)

May 6, 2015

I have a SQL Server 2005 database file (a .mdf file) that I am trying to open in SQL Server Management Studio so I can add a field to a table, but I am unable to open the file. I can't say that I really understand how SQL Server handles these databases. I especially don't understand the "attaching" and "detaching" operations.

I am working in VB.Net 2008 now, but my background is with VB6 using the JET engine. It was just so straightforward using the JET engine, but seems so much more complicated with SQL Server. I am trying to use .mdf files the same way I used .mdb files. I want my application to find the database file, "attach to it", and let me manipulate it.

At one time I was able to open my database in Sql Server Management Studio and edit the design of the database. The application still works but I am no longer able to modify the database because I cannot attach to it in Management Studio.

Here is a big clue: the files are no longer in the special folder anymore, which is c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA. I might have deleted the files, stupidly, thinking they were redundant. I still have the .mdf file (and the _log.ldf file) on my hard drive and the application can still open it, but when I try to use Management Studio to attach to the .mdf file, I get this error:

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express

An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details.

here are the details:

Unable to open the physical file "c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAHEALSExamsSQL.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

Indeed the file is not there, but why is Mgmt Studio looking there? Why doesn't it just open the file where it is? What can I do to get it back? I even copied the files to c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA? I get the same error.

Here is another clue: In Management Studio, when I right-click Databases, and chose Attach, it brings up a dialog. There I click "Add" to get another dialog in which I will select a database, but before the dialog appears I get this error:

Locate Database Files - KURANT-WIN7SQLEXPRESS
C:UsersJason KurantDesktop
Cannot access the specified path or file on the server. Verify that you have the necessary security privileges and that the path or file exists.

If you know that the service account can access a specific file, type in the full path for the file in the File Name control in the Locate dialog box.

Operating System Error 5: 5(Access Is Denied.). When Try To Attach .mdf File To Server.

Feb 22, 2008

I had few databases developed in SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. I have detached all the databases and stopped developing anything new other than taking reqular backup of detached .mdf and .ldf files. I installed Vista on the other Hard drive that corrupted my XP installation drive letters so I had to reinstall XP OS. I have reinstalled SQL 2005 Dev edition. Now I am trying to attach the database it is giving error of Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)". I tried to copy those .mdf and .Ldf files through windows explorer and it is not letting me copy past in the other place. I am getting Access denied from OS. I have about 5 databases and only one has this problem.
What is going on and how do I solve this? Is the OS has locked the file? My home computer is not in a domain. I tried to right click the file to see if I can set access permission on the file. There is no such security options. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Vijay

Cannot Bulk Load Because The File Could Not Be Opened. Operating System Error Code 5(Access Is Denied.).

Jan 23, 2007

I am facing a issue with bulk upload on Test Server.

Issue: When running Openrowset command from SQL server other that Test Server query runs fine when trying to run the same command from Test Server it gives error.

Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Cannot bulk load because the file "\ServerNameinputFileName.csv" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).

For example: If the command is run from System A connecting to SQL Server instance on Test Server Test Server it gives this error. If the same command with same rights is run from any other SQL server instance say Dev1 its running fine.

If the command is run from Test Server connecting to any SQL Server instance including Test Server it is running fine.

Tried: 1) Given the read/write rights on shared folder, to user under which the SQL server service is running on Test Server

2) Given the read/write rights on shared folder to everyone.

Query:

SELECT DISTINCT * FROM OPENROWSET

(

BULK '\ServerNameinputFileName.csv',

FORMATFILE='\ServerNameFormat.xml'

)

AS FileList

Please provide me with some solution. What can be the reason for such behaviour?

Error, Unable To Open Database After Install On XP Computer

Jan 24, 2008

Hi all,
I'm new to .NET and VB2008 and trying to write my first database application. It runs fine on my development PC (Vista) but I decided to publish/install an early beta to my daughters XP computer and am getting an error reading: Unable to open database.

The CD drive on that pc has been giving us trouble so I deployed to a subdirectory on the dev pc and moved those files to a thumbdrive, copied to the same subdirectory on client pc and installed from there. I've installed it more than once, trying different paths for the installed version hoping that was the issue but have hit a wall. Can anybody help?

Thanks,

Dominic

It was running correctly in sqlserver 2000.I have enabled the xp_cmdshell feature in the configuration.
Please help me and suggest me.
