if i have a given database (a model) and i want to copy this database in the same database instance. Is it ok to copy the mdf and ldf file and attach the files with a new database name in the same instance.
I have been asked to edit a web based database and have been given the site on cd. I have installed IIS, sql server express and Visual Web Developer express. I am having problems getting the mdf database connected. It works at the school where they have it installed and as far as I know I have mirrored the configuration they have on one of my test servers. The database is in App_Data the connection string is "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=c:inetpubwwwrootApp_Datacampbell.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" And the state is closed. When I view one of the aspx pages in IE I get the following.
Server Error in '/' Application.

Attemping to reattach a recovered .mdf and associated .ldf from a crashed disk drive and I am getting the error below. I attempted to create a new db, stop the service, replace the new data files with the recovered db files and restarted the SQL service so that I could run a dbcc checkdb while the db was in suspect mode, however was unable to do this. This error leads me to belive that the log file needs to be rebuild, but that the mdf files could be a decent shape. Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks!

I have a VBExpress 2008 application that uses LINQ to SQL to manipulate data in an SQLExpress 2005 database.
I successfully instatiate a DataContext object and examine its metadata through its .Mapping methods and properties. But when I attempt to set the DataSource for a BindingSource control to one of the tables, I get a run-time error.
Specifically:
Dim dc As New DiabetesData(My.Settings.DiabetesData_dbPath)
generates the error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was unhandled Class=14 ErrorCode=-2146232060 LineNumber=65536 Message="An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file SbearMedicalDiabetesDiabetesData2.mdf failed.

bsPrimary is a BindingSource on a form named frmEZView.

We've tried attaching the mdf files given to us by some customers using the script they've provided, too.
I created the database with the corresponding names, and tried to run their script. However, I get the message "The media family on device 'D:DatabaseDVVAD01.mdf' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family."
What could possibly have gone wrong? Is it also possible that the file was not properly detached, or what?
I was getting following error while creating a database or attaching a database to sql server 2005
"The file <<*.mdf>> is compressed but does not reside in a read-only database or filegroup.."
In this scenario, if you try sp_attach_db procedure, you get following error: Msg 5118, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
After little bit of troubleshooting, I found this was happening because of a folder option (of the folder where database file reside (in case of attach) or being created (in case of create)).
Go to folder properties, General Tab, click on Advanced button,check "Compress or Encrypt attributes" section. If the first option (Compress contents to save disk space) is checked, you get that error. Uncheck it to fix that problem.
I'm trying to attach a database file and it's associated database log file to SQL Server. However I am using the 'SQLDataRoot' value from the registry to determine the absolute path to the DB file and DB log file. Like so...
USE [master]
DECLARE @RC int
/* read path to SQL Server Express Data directory from registry */ DECLARE @sql_server_data_dir sysname EXEC @RC = master..xp_regread N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',N'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup',N'SQLDataRoot', @sql_server_data_dir OUTPUT SET @sql_server_data_dir = @sql_server_data_dir + N'Data'
CREATE DATABASE [PROJECT_DB] ON (FILENAME = '''' + @sql_server_data_dir + 'PROJECT_DB.mdf'''), (FILENAME = '''' + @sql_server_data_dir + 'PROJECT_DB_log.ldf''') FOR ATTACH;
GO
I have also tried using the sp_attach_db stored procedure as follows
I am very new to SQL and just completed an install of SQL 2005 Express. After install, I downloaded the Adventure Works database and attempted to attach through both the Object Browser (right-click 'Databases'--->'Attach') and by running the script that is located on the SQL download page where I got the Adventure Works db.
Here's the error that I get:
"Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 8, object ID 1, Index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes."
I have attempted to go through the help files, but unfortunately the above message is too cryptic for me and I have no idea what it's telling me.
I guess I messed up somehow, but I am not sure how to fix this.
On Vista, with SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition, I created a 6GB database and loaded it up with data. I then decided that I wanted to burn a copy of the files, so I detached (no problem.) But when I wanted to copy the physical MDF and LOG file to another folder. Vista said I did not have access to the folder, but if I hit continue, no problem--it would correct the situation. I did. I copied the files (no problem), but now when I go to reattach to the MDF (that is still in the Data folder), I get a "CREATE FILE encountered operating system 5 (Access is denied)" error. I checked permissions and SQL Server has full rights. I am the only user on the system (Admin), and the files do not appear to have anything weird set (read only, advanced permissions, etc.)
What did I do wrong? And how do I fix this? Oh the joys of advanced Vista security features Even the admin is locked out now.
I have been working on a website in Visual Studio 2005 Pro using the MS SQL Server that comes with VS. I have tried Attaching those MDF files in Visual Studio to the SQL Server Express Management but it wont let me, get an error::

Here is the info for the Web.config Connection Strings::
I'm trying to attach a MSDE 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 Express.
I simply issue sp_detach_db XXX where XXX is the name of my MSDE database. Then sp_attach_db or create database ... with attach and both way gets the following message:
Event ID. : 3415
Description: Database 'XXX' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
I'm learning to use BIDS, and have been going through the exercise in Chapter 19 of the book Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration Services. I'm probably in over my head with this since I've never used any SQL services/software before, but the company I'm interning at wants to build a workflow using SSIS, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, I volunteered to train myself for the task. I'm at a part in the book exercise where I'm editing one of the components of a Data Flow task - an OLE DB Destination. When I try to select the table/view in the editor for this, it gives me the following error:
€œAn attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsgroseMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsCase Study ExerciseCase Study ExerciseCase Study.database failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.€?
When I googled this, most people seemed to be getting it through other SQL software, so I'm not sure if the error has the same cause or not. I know that the file in the above error message already exists, but I don't understand why the task editor won't just let me select a database that already exists so I can complete the component. Can anyone explain this to me?
I have SQL Express 2005 SP2 installed in my Vista Home Premium. I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express to manage .mdf.
When I click "Add..." to attach .mdf database, I have this prompt error message :
The server principal "My-PCMyName" is not able to access the database "model" under the current security context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916)
I have elevated the rights, "Run as administrator", of my SQL Server Management Studio Express, but still having problem.
I also encounter security error when detaching the existing .mdf : The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_detach_db', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Have you ever gotten an error when copying a task in the designer? I can't copy a task. That's going to be a pain for developing big packages. I have already uninstalled BIDS and installed Visual Studio and still get the error. Any thoughts on what could I could remove and reinstall to get a working environment? Would removing VS and SQL 2005 and all its components work? I ran some of the CTP cleanup tools (ttool and msiinv) and they reported no problems and no beta software

I'm trying to copy a database from my web host to local Sql Server 2005 instance using the Copy Database wizard. I get this error:An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. Server user 'celestine' is not a valid user id database 'db2'.However, 'db2' isn't the database I was trying to copy! I am trying to copy db1, but this error is complaining about db2, which is in fact somebody else's database that I don't have a login for. Why am I getting an error about db2 when I'm not trying to do anything with db2???I can however export the tables from db1 just fine using Export. But then I have to go back and generate script to re-create the stored procs, views, etc., so it is rather tedious to do it that way.
The export menu in DTS is a bit confusing for me. I have some stored procedures in one SQL Server and want to copy them to another. The username is the same for both SQL Servers. When I try copying the stored procedure with defaul settings, I get a progress bar (24 percent ccompleted, 62 percent completed...), then when its done it says "failed to copy objects from sql server to sql server". When I double click the error for details it says "User or role '[username]' already exists in the current database". Then I try again, unchecking "use default options" for my export. I go in to alter the options, uncheck "copy database users and database groups" (I've also tried unchecking "copy object-level permissions"), run it, get progress bar (like above), and then get another error that says "There is no such user or group '[username]'".
My user name is correct, I am able to access both Sql Servers with this username, and I should have all of the appropriate permissions.
I think maybe there is a checkbox I'm not unchecking or something stupid like that.
I am trying to copy a database from our company's external SQL Server(production) to our local SQL Server(development). The Copy Database wizard fails on the step "Execute SQL Server Agent Job". Following is the error in the log file.. Please advise

I'm running SQL 7.0 SP3 on two different machines (one with additional hotfixes). I'm taking a nightly snapshot of imported data on Server1 and pushing it out to another SQL 7.0 server on our network, Server2. All but one table is copied successfully. On the final table, I receive the message, "The process could not bulk copy into table '"%"'." Error Information Category: Data Source, Source: Server2, Number 4813.
Full error message: "Expected the text length in data stream for bulk copy of text, ntext, or image data."
I've looked up 4813, but it's pretty ambiguous/generic. Also, when I SELECT from Server1 and INSERT INTO Server2 in the QA, I receive no errors. Does anyone have any insight?
When i try to copy one table , say for e.g table x from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0 it gives me an error that -
'Insert Error , column 46 ( 'Coloumn_name ',DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP), Status 6 : Data overflow . Invalid character value for cast specification .'
This column on the source server ( SQL 6.5 ) has datatype 'datetime ' with value 8 and is NULL .
Although there are other columns in this table with datatype as 'datetime' as 8 and NULL , they have been copied successfully to the destination table .Only this specific column is giving an error while copying data .
I am using import export wizard to copy data between servers . Since i have no experience with this , would like to have a solution from you to this problem. It will be great help for me .
I'm trying to use the copy database wizard in sql server 2005, but I keep getting an error that says 'No description found.'

What would you recommend doing?
I am trying to copy database from one server to another using the Copy Database Wizard in SQL Server 2008 R2. The process fails in the last step. The error msg is not clear and it says there are more than two errors etc etc.
Any advice from the crowd? Every time I try to run "Copy DatabaseWizard" I get an error message saying I must be a member of thesysadmin group and have permission to copy files over the network. I'ma local admin on both boxes and a member of the sysadmin group on bothSQL servers and an admin on the network. What am I missing here?Thanks,Ralph NobleJoin Bytes!
