Sp_attach_db
May 16, 2000Can anyone spread any light on the following.
I've created a database of 2 tables which exists over 2 drives. I had a 6 Gig log file on one drive and a 1 Gig log file on the other so I used sp_detach_db to detach it. I then deleted the log files and attempted to sp_attach_db with the following:
"sp_attach_db @dbname =N'cwc_load', @filename1 = N'f:cwc_loadcwc_load_data.mdf', @filename2 = N'e:cwc_loadcwc_load_data2.mdf'"
which are the locations of the .mdf files.
I get the error messages 5105 and 945 (which cannot be tracked down using either the Microsoft site or on-line help) but the messages are "Device Activation error. The physical file name 'F:cwc_loadcwc_load_log.ldf' may be incorrect"
"Database 'cwc_load' cannot be opened because some of the files cannot be activated"
which to me tends to suggest that the database is looking for the log files (now deleted).
I've tried forcing a new log file I created using the same locations for the mdfs. I've tried using create database cwc_load on primary (filename = 'etc) which gives the same error message, please tell me someone out there has a resolution for this.
Sp_attach_db
Aug 6, 2002As part of moving to SQL2K from SQL7 I'm doing sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db on the source server. For those databases that have multiple .ldf files do I need to add a separate filename= line to the sp_attach_db command for each .ldf, or only reference the original .ldf in a single filename?
Thanks,
AL
P.S. Given that I've done a few databases already, what's the effect of entering only the single filename line if multiple filename lines were required?

Sp_attach_db And Sort Order
Dec 6, 2001Hi,
I'm doing some work for a client who has not been backing up
his databases. After a server crash he has been left with
the .MDF and .LDF files. I have managed to successfully
use sp_attach_db on all but two databases. When attempting
to use sp_attach_db I get the following error message :
1> sp_attach_db @dbname = N'CSGDEV', @filename1 = N'e:SQL_DataDirDataCSGDEV_Data.MDF', @filename2 = N'e:SQL_DataDirDataCSGDEV_Log.LDF'
2> go
Warning: sort order 51 in database differs from server sort order of 52.
Warning: Unicode comparison flags 196608 in database differs from server
Unicode comparison flags of 196609.
Msg 1816, Level 16, State 1, Server CSGSERVER, Line 1

I'd appreciate any ideas. I'm not a SQL Server expert (heck, I'm not even

EXEC Sp_attach_db Have A Error
Feb 2, 2004I entered the following in the Query Analyzer and got the result shown:
EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = N'DS2004',
@filename1 = N'd:ds2004_data.mdf',
@filename2 = N'd:ds2004_log.Ldf'
Server: Msg 5172, Level 16, State 15, Line 1
The header for file 'd:ds2004_data.MDF' is not a valid database file header. The PageAudit property is incorrect
I can find nothing about PageAudit property.
What is it and how do I need to modify the command?
Many thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedSp_attach_db And Security With Windows Group
Nov 12, 2003Hello,
We use local server windows groups to allow or disallow use of our SQL databases. We are now being asked to move off of our current server. My thoughts are to dettach and attach the database. What is going to happen to all my permissions based on the user groups of our old server? I intend to create the same group names on the new server but they will be newservergroupname as opposed to oldservergroupname. Is it just a case of scripting the database user, roles and object level permissions an manually changing oldserver to newserver?

Oct 29, 2007
hi,
My problem is, I am going to ship MSDE with our product. Now the problem is that if some one copies the .MDF and .LDF files and uses "sp_attach_db" to attach the db files to his own server then my database will be exposed to him. I have tried this and it gets exosed. I cant deploy NT Authentication for the database, bcoz if the end user installes Enterprise manager then my database will be exposed to him. Is there any way that i can sequre the LDF and MDF files of my database so that no one can use that with sp_attach_db? I m using MSDE(Sql server 2000).
Permission Problems With Sp_attach_db During Installation
Sep 26, 2007
I successfully install SQL Express silently.
Then I try the following
-S .INSTANCE -Q "sp_attach_db 'ATTACH_AS_NAME', 'C:Program FilesAPP_NAMESQLDataAPP_DB.MDF'"
This works...sometimes. But Many times I wll get a permissions error on the folder "C:Program FilesAPP_NAME". If I go and give "Everyone" "Full Permission" to the folder...it works fine.
My questions are:
1) What system users need access (and at what level) to this folder to do an attach? Because obviously giving everyone full access is bad.
2) Is there a better method for deploying a populated database with my application that this?
Logins, Object Ownership And Sp_detach_db/sp_attach_db
Apr 4, 2000Here's one. :)
I have Database A in Server 1 which contains objects (tables and SPs) that are owned by users other than dbo. Then I detach this database from Server 1 using sp_detach_db and attach it to Server2 (sp_attach_db). Even if the same logins exist or are created in Server 2, I still won't be able to access the objects in Database A using these logins. I know that this happens because of different SIDs for the same login names across the 2 servers. So given that I want to achieve this without having to use the Import Wizard or any other method, how do I go around this lil bit of a problem? Any thoughts? :)
Thanks!
Sp_attach_db Failed On Mapped Remote Drive
Mar 1, 2001Hi,all.
I tried to issue:
sp_attach_db pubs,'F:anthonypubs.mdf','F:anthonypubs.ldf'
where the pubs.mdf and pubs.ldf are on a remote mapped drive F:,
I got error:
Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'f:anthonypubs.ldf' may

Is attaching a database ONLY supported for local servers ??
What about creating database on remote drive? (I have same error msg back)
Thx

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?
How To Properly Use GO, BEGIN, END
Jan 12, 2008I have writen a small program in a Query window that runs fine if I hilight and run small chuncks. (I have listed the statements with out the clauses so it is more easly viewed here.)
The problem is if I simply execute the Query window I get massive errors that don’t make sence. I am guessing I need some GO and BEGIN/END statements? But I don’t know where I should use them.
I would really appreciate a few pointers so I can just run the Query window.

How To Build Properly
Jun 30, 2006
Hi,
I'm very new in SSIS. I've created 3 packages in the project. sometimes when i modified the project and save/save-all it, when i tried to build (isn't this used to deploy?), I am being asked by this:
Package 1 has been modified outside the source editor. Do you want to reload it?
When I press on yes, all my modifications were not save. If i answered no, the build process stops. i dunno if this is because the build process is already finished or it was terminated because i chose 'NO'. When i tried to rebuild it again, it will ask me the same question.
What is the proper way to save and build the project? When it says ' do you want to reload it?', does it mean reloading the old copy before modification?
Thanks!

Order By Not Working Properly
Jan 17, 2007Hello, i have something like this, i want the annoucements (status = 0) to be on top, then topics with (status = 1) below, then the rest of the topics.
So i tried:
SELECT forum_topics.id, forum_topics.status, forum_topics.username AS starter, forum_topics.subject, forum_topics.closed, forum_topics.answerpostid, forum_topics.views, forum_topics.answers, forum_topics.lastanswer, forum_topics.lastanswerid, forum_topics.created AS started, forum_answer.username, forum_answer.answer, forum_answer.created FROM forum_topics LEFT OUTER JOIN forum_answer ON forum_answer.id = forum_topics.lastanswerid WHERE (boardid = @ID OR boardid = 0) ORDER BY (status) ASC, (created) ASC
Problem is that they are not sorted diffrently, when i change the (created) ASC to (created) DESC i get the same result and the rows are not sorted, they only get sorted by status so i have status=0 at the top, then status=1 then the rest. How do i get them to be sorted first by status ASC then by created ASC/DESC?

MDAC 2.6 SP1 Not Installing Properly
May 22, 2002I installed MDAC 2.6 SP1 on my 2000 machine in order to get SQL server 7.0 to work properly on my machine. I'm trying to get installed on server which is on NT 4.0 SP6 so that when I save a DTS package on my 2000 machine and run it on the server it doesn't get the error client access ODBC driver not capable. I intalled MDAC 2.6 SP1 on the server but it doesn't look like its updating it. The install goes fine. I reboot but when I go into the ODBC connections and look at the driver for the client acceess it still has version 6.00.00.05 while my 2000 machine says 6.00.07.00
Any ideas on why its not updating. Can I just take the DWBODBC.DLL from my machine and copy it to the server?
SQL Agent Not Starting Properly
Sep 28, 1999We have SQL Server 7.0 running on an NT 4.0 sp5 box. Whenever we stop the SQL Server Service, we get the message that SQL Agent will also be stopped. If we do this, all the services seem to stop fine, but when we try to start the SQL Server Agent Service back up, it won't let us. In order for it to restart, we have to reboot the server so that it starts 'automatically'. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is?

Ragged Right Not Working Properly

Hi,
I am exporting a table to a fixed width flat file using "Ragged Right" format. Though i specify carriage return for the last column, the text file is not taking it up.
I am doing the following for connection
cmFlatFile.properties("Format").SetValue(cmFlatFile,"RaggedRight")
cmFlatFile.properties("RowDelimiter").SetValue(cmFlatFile,vbCrLf)
and while adding the column i am setting up the width as follows
vColumns = flatFileDestination.InputCollection(0).GetVirutalInput().VirtualInputColumnCollection
For cols = 0 to vColumns.Count -1
Dim col As IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFileColumn90 = ff.Columns.Add()
if cols = vColumns.Count - 1 Then
col.ColumnDelimiter = vbCrLf
end if
cols.ColumnType = "FixedWidth"
cols.Columnwidth = 20
......
Next cols
Still the rows are exported next to each other just like when we use FixedWidth.

Problem is that when I install my Package on SQL Server on different Server for example JOHN, and now my database is ProductionDB and [SSIS Configurations] table will be on ProductionDB database.

Cannot De-install SQL 2000 Properly
Sep 5, 2007Hi,
Long story, Ihad SQL 2000 happily installed and running for a long time. Attempted to load SQL 2005 alongside, but in retrospect see that I used the same install directory as SQL 2000. Found that the SQL 2000 databases still ran, in that I was able to run applications that rely on them. Enterprise manager ans Query Analyzer are still in the start/program list, but when I try to open them they say that the DSN isn't there, and the odbc driver is missing. Also if I try to configure the system SQL DSN in ODBC datasources I get the same message. I guess the SQL 2005 install has scrambled the ODBC setup.Tried deinstalling SQL 2005, but the problem persists. Tried reloading mdac-typ, same problem. Tried reinstalling SQL2000, same problem. Tried fully deinstalling SQL2000 from Add/remove program, said it completed, but the shortcuts are still there, the applications that use the db's still work, only it no longer appears in Add/Remove programs.
Is there a command line string to manually remove it, or where do I go to repair my mdac, or is this what I actually want to do?
Thanks in advance
