Deleted My Database Log File, Can't Reattach
Jul 20, 2005
Hello,
A utility I was running caused our database's log file to run out of
hard drive.
So, I detached the database, deleted the log file, and tried to
reattach.
SQL server fails to reattach because it cant find the log file. (Why
it cant just create a new default one is beyond me...but...)
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname = 'sgvault',
@physname = 'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL
ServerMSSQLDatasgvault.mdf''
Could not open new database 'sgvault'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Device activation error. The physical file name 'C:Program
FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdatasgvault_log.LDF' may be
incorrect.
Do you know how I can fix this dilemma? Thanks!

I have a publisher database set up for a merge replication. This is using parameterized filter with join filters.
I also have a stored procedure that does deletes & inserts on the table where the parameterized filter is applied to aid in changing a subscriber's eligibility to receive so and so data. I have observed that running the stored procedure takes extraordinarily long and as a result, the log file grows to a size 1.5 - 2.5 times the database size.
At first I reasoned that this might because I had it set up to use precomputed partitions and changing it requires recalculating the partitions. As a test, I turned off the precomputed partitions. Didn't work. I turned on "optimize synchronization" AKA "keep_partition_changes", which normally is not available when you have precomputed partition on, and that didn't work, either.
At this point, I think I can rule out precomputed partitions being a problem here but I'm stumped now what else I should do to reduce the amount of log writes being required. We do need the parameterized filters & join tables, so that can't go.

Hi
I have a database consisting of multiple files on a remote server.
Both servers have the same user (bob) which is in the administrator group.
The directory that the mdf/ndf files exist on is shared as "nas" with full rights given to the user bob.
They are both in the same workgroup.
SQL server is running as this user (not ideal I know but server and services will be locked down later)
The script I used to create the database uses the following line to enable remote database files:
-- Enable the use of network drive for DB files
DBCC TRACEON(1807)
GO
I used SSMS to detatch the database and then modified my create script by removing database sizes and adding "FOR ATTACH" at the end. (I have also tried using sp_attach_db but no use)
So the script looks like this:
CREATE DATABASE [dbname] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'DBName', FILENAME = N'\123.45.67.89asDBName_FG.mdf' , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 10GB ),
-- Filegroups for the Alerts Table and Indexes.
FILEGROUP [FG_DBFile2]
( NAME = N'DBFile2_FG', FILENAME = N'\123.45.67.89asDBFile2_FG.ndf' , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 5GB ),
FILEGROUP [FG_AlertsIndexes]
( NAME = N'DBFile3_FG', FILENAME = N'\123.45.67.89asDBFile3_FG.ndf' , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 5GB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'DBName_log', FILENAME = N'\123.45.67.89asDBName_log.ldf' ,MAXSIZE = 13GB , FILEGROWTH = 0%)
FOR ATTACH
GO
When I run the script I get the following error:
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 5
Unable to open the physical file "\123.45.67.89asDBName_FG.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)".
I know the permissions are ok as I can map a drive without being prompted.
SQL server is running as the user bob which is the same user I log onto the server as.
I am running Windows 2003 Server R2 Standard Edition on server with SQL Server 2005 SP2.
The NAS box is running SQL Server R2 Storage Edition.
One thing I noticed was that the mdf/ndf files on the NAS box are locked as if SQL is still using them, i.e. I cannot rename them, move them, alter any properties etc. I just get "Access Denied".
I've tried rebooting both servers but still no luck. I've also tried stopping SQL server then renaming the files, but again "Access Denied".
I know there has been a problem in the past detaching and attaching db files on a NAS, but the Hotfix is included in SP2, which I am using.
I hope I have included enough info but if I've missed anything, it can be provided.
(Event Log basically replicates what the error message says.)
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J

Hi All,
In SQL Server 2000(Sql Query Analyzer), I had opened a main program file for debugging purpose.
Somehow by mistake its entire contents get replaced/deleted.
I don't have the backup.
I would appreciate anyone who can save me by advising to restore this program.

I'm using an ASP.net /SQL server Configuration to run a small database site for my company,
I have broken the database...darn
I had 4 databases in the SQL list and decided since 3 of them showed no subfolders what so ever and SQL would not let me open them saying
"you haven't got enough space on the disk or the files your trying to access don't exist" -- I'm paraphrasing but that's about the jist of it. I decided they didnt do anything and to delete these DB from the list (to be honesty i dont even know if this is what caused the problem to start with)
what i did then was register a root database, this database is the database (i believe) is used to query and store results (from the asp.net), it was located at
C:XXXXXXsecureJobBrokerDB
once i added this and found it did seam to be where the website data was coming from. i deleted two of the entrys in the SQL object Explorer that showed me the error "you haven't got enough space on the disk or the files your trying to access don't exist" i now realise this must have been a big mistake since after i removed this the system let me login but didnt let me do anything else, it alowed me to browse the pages but didnt let me query any of the DB side of the application, What have i done and how can i restore it? (we have no official backup, we do have a MASTER and A TEST DB registered in the object explorer which contain copys of the DB)
i had one idea can i use the web.config section <connectionString> to make the web site look toward either The Master OR TEST copys of the DB
<connectionStrings>
<add name="classifiedsConnection" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|standguidedb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
will this solve my problem if i edit this entry to point to another DB thats identical to the old one

When connecting to an SQL Server (v7 in this case) the log file shows that old and deleted databases are still being opened as part of the process. Further, these db names are now reserved and cannot be reused, even thought I've deleted them.
Is there any way I can purge all traces of these deleted db names?
You might have guessed, I'm a newbie, which is why there are a few dozen deleted DBs.
Thanks for any help

I posted this in the SQL Server Express forum as well...
My app deployed via ClickOnce. It ships with a database creation script which creates the database in the ClickOnce data directory. Upon uninstall, the entire data folder is deleted successfully. But if you then reinstall the app, SQL Server Express still thinks the database exists. Right now, to get a re-install to work, I have to go into Management Studio Express, click on the db (get an pop-up error as the physical db file is no longer there) and then click delete.
So my question is... what system proc should I execute in the db creation script before I run the CREATE DATABASE command?

I have detached the database via sp_detach_db in a job, (I was trying to use a job to detach the database, then make copies of the mdf file, then attach the databases as different copies, somehow the job failed due to file locked) I tried to delete the physical files, but they were still locked. I tried several times, two of them I was able to delete the mdf files, but not the ldf file. The other one both mdf file and ldf file can not be deleted. I was not able to see the database via Management studio.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Stepping thru the code with the debugger shows the dataset rows being deleted.
After executing the code, and getting to the page presentation. Then I stop the debug and start the
page creation process again ( Page_Load ). The database still has the original deleted dataset rows.
Adding rows works, then updating works fine, but deleting rows, does not seem to work.
The dataset is configured to send the DataSet updates to the database. Use the standard wizard to create the dataSet.
cDependChildTA.Fill(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild, UserId); rowCountDb = cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Count; for (row = 0; row < rowCountDb; row++) { dr_dependentChild = cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows[0]; dr_dependentChild.Delete(); //cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows.RemoveAt(0); //cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows.Remove(0); /* update the Client Process Table Adapter*/ // cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild); // cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild); }
/* zero rows in the DataSet at this point */ /* update the Child Table Adapter */ cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild);

I know allot of folks are having this problem and I tried lots of things but nothing works. I understand the problem is coping the SQL Express on another server is the problem - I just not sure what to do?
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42
This is the last statement on the Stack Trace:
SqlException (0x80131904): An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file e:wwwdata81d0493fwwwApp_DataTestDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.]
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) +735091
I checked my server forum and they said I had to name a database:
Example: Database=(unique name);
But this didn't work either.
I just tried a simple web project that has only one database and one table in SQL Express with one sqldatasource and one datagrid. It works fine on my pc but when I use the copy function in Visio Studio 2005 Pro - I can't run the site on the remote server: www.myjewelrydirect.com
I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TestDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
With all the comments in these forums - this must be a bug.
I have been working on this problem for over 2 weeks - HELP!

I am developing a C# mobile 5.0SDK app that utilizes SQL2005 Compact Edition device files on Vista using as far as I know the latest SPs and versions.
Last night, I could open tables from the Server Explorer .sdf file, see the contents, edit the schema, etc. Now today, I assume all of a sudden,I am able to open schema but cannot open the table to see the contents. I get:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition captioned error dialog box that says "Access to the database file is not allowed. [ File name = ],[,,]
Using Sql Server 2005 Management Studio Express, I can open the table, do queries etc. I have tried rebooting, deleting, opening old projects, deleting dataset, disconnecting mobile device, but I still get the same error. I have tried stopping the SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) service on the server but get:
Cannot open MSSLQ$SQLEXPRESS service on computer 'p5w64'. Access is denied.
I have no idea what to do next to start moving forward again, other than try the XP environment which I will do next.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thank you.
