An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:WebApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
My web.config file, the connection strings
<connectionStrings>
<add name="POAdatabaseConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=sss;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=POAdatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=SSPI" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
I cann't really find the statement for attaching aspnetdb.mdf. I don't where to find it. Is there any other web.config file in the C drive? Thanks for help!
Help!
I did a sp_detach_db of a database, then deleted the log file because it was too big. Now, when I try to sp_attach_db, or even sp_attach_single_file_db, it will not re-create the db.
When I tried to attach a database from Enterprise manager, I got "error 3624, location: scanrid.cpp:321 Expression: m_len != 0 spid 51 proseccid 436......" The files are all there, but it seems there are problems of activating files, or the files are crashed. Any one got idea? Actually, we just need one table in that database. Is there any way to save a table from mdf file or ndf file? Or repair files?

I've created a database inside my ASP.net project, the database is in the App_Data folder as exepcted.I can't run the aspnet_regsql until I have attached it using SQL Server Management Studio, but when I try to attach the database it doesn't let me navigate through my folders properly. The database is in C:UsersWardieDocumentsFirstProjectApp_Data but SQL SMS only lets me navigate to the folder C:UsersWardie and no further for some reason, meaning I can't attach the database and can't use the aspnet_regsql service to create the membership tables.Does anyone know how to fix this?

For a test I detached a database, copied the ldf to a new location, and re-attached successfully. OK, now I want to use the orignial ldf, so I detach, and when I try to attach to the origninal ldf I get:
Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line1
Location: recovery.c:2693
Expression: seenCkptEnd

Any Ideas on what happened and how to reattach to my original log file?

I know the chances of getting a positive answer on this are remote but here goes:
I have a db that I need to move to a new server (that isnt on the same network !)
Firstly tried, backing up the DB, copying the backup to various removable media, copied it onto the new server, then tried restoring. The restore almost completes, then comes up that backup is incomplete !
If I restore the DB on the original server from the same backup file it works fine !
Second method, detached the DB, copied the mdf file to a memory stick, copied onto the new server, attempted to attach the mdf file and get:
I/O error (bad page ID) detected during read at offset 0x00000003f80000 in file ..........mdf
Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 2
If I re-attach the file on the original server this works !!!
My next step will be to get the two servers connected over the network, so that I can use DTS, but this is not ideal and would like to avoid this if possible.
If anybody has any suggestions, I would be eternally grateful.
p.s. I have tried restoring/attaching on other servers in case it was a problem with the new server, but get the same problems.

Hello,
MSSQLSERVER VER : 2000
Using - Attach and Detach Database to move the database from one Server to another server.
I did detached the database from Production and attached my test server, everything OK
Questions about - syslogins & sysdevices data dictionary tables
1. When I select * from sysdevices on production it shows all the database name size,phyname etc. After attaching to my test server I cannot see these things.. I know because it different master database but, how do I fix this.
2. syslogins - is there way to move all the syslogins after attaching to test server.
Please let me know if you guys have done anything on this.
Thanks.

I have copied the .mdf and .ldf files from one db and I'd like to attach the copies to a new db on the same server. When I try to attach the copied files I get the error, "the physical file name may be incorrect". Original db filename is "MC_DISC_Data.mdf", I copied this and renamed it to, "MC_Data.mdf" in my sqldata folder. I can see the physical file name is still the original name when I'm trying to attach db using EM, how can I change it to the copied name?

Any way to fix this?
hi ,
i want to use a database that someone created in SQL SERVER 2000/WINDOWS SERVER 2003.My system is SQL SERVER 2000/XP SP2 PRO .The problem is that the database is an unknown file .I mean ,it isn't ,as usually, an .mdf or .ldf file ,so i cannot attach it to the server.
Is there a problem in compatibility between the different versions of windows?Or is missing something from the database?What can i do?
Thanx in advanced
How I can detach from DB and validate it?
(I mean check if it is detached or not)
Is there any why to return a value from sp_detach_db in C++?
(may a cross posting, please check under developer posts)
I want to attach a database that one of the developers had detach it. The LDF file was deleted after detach.
I tried to attach and rebuild the log file in SQL2005 using the following:
USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [Test] ON
(FILENAME = N'G:MSSQLDataTest.mdf')
FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG
GO
I get the following error:
File activation failure. The physical file name "D:MSSQLDATATest_log.LDF" may be incorrect.
The log cannot be rebuilt because the database was not cleanly shut down.
Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'Test'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
What should I do?
Thanks,

I feel that I have done something stupid here.
I used SSMSE to detach my database so that I could create a copy - no problem here.
But then in SSMSE I right-clicked Databases, chose attach and expected to see my original database. But there are no databases shown in the attach window!
I have tried to find the original database in SSMSE but nothing I do allows me to see it. However, Windows Explorer shows me that the files are still where they were when I detached them.
Please help - this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

Hey gang,I've been trying to restore a DB from it's MDF and LDF all morning;the catch? The LDF appears to be corrupt.When I first started the SQL Server, the db in question was marked as"Suspect'. I did some research on this and it has caused me to attemptdetaching, backing up, deleting the LDF, using ATTACH DB and evensp_attach_single_file_db, and sp_add_data_file_recover_suspect_db.Nothing works.So, with an MDF and no LDF ... is it possible to recreate thisdatabase somehow? Can I attach the MDF to another (empty) database toretrieve it's contents? (Tried it, couldn't get it to work), can Iextract the contents of the MDF - even if it's just the objects andnot the data itself - in some capacity?I've read in various places about attaching an MDF with no LDF and thesystem will recreate the LDF as needed, but that doesn't work either.Ideas are most, most, most welcome.

Hi,
I have a database that I developed using both Toad for SQL and SQL Server Managment Studio.
All was working fine. I could connect to the database with one of the above and also run two an applications I developed (one in C# and One in VB.NET using VS Express) using the standard SQLConnection class.
the following connection string worked fine...
Server="(local)"; Trusted_Connection="yes"; Database="CDEvolution";
Now, for one reason or another I decided to create a new data source in my Visual Studio project and pointed it to the database fine.
At first it seemed ok as I could see all tables from teh database. However somethign strage has happened. I now can't access the database in TOAD or SQL Server Managment Studio. I also couldn't connect using the above string.
I finally managed to get the two appllications I developed to access database using the following connection string...
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataCDEvolution.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=6000;User Instance=True;
and the applications work fine, however I can access the database using the DB tools.
In SQL Server Managment Studio I remove the database and tried to attach it again but I keep getting the following error message...Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 5, object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes.
Could not open new database 'C:PROGRAM FILESMICROSOFT SQL SERVERMSSQLDATACDEVOLUTION.MDF'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Any ideas on how I can get access back?
Cheers in advance,
Kevin
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.

Hi,
We are trying to attach a Database from SQL7 to SQL2K SP3.
On SQL7
The Database was detached and the MDF copied to the New Server.
On SQL2K
We used the attach Db (in Enterprise Manager).
We get a red 'x' as normal against the logfile and noramlly it would create a new one when u proceed, but this time we are getting an error after the dialogue box asking to create a new one:
Error 1813: Could not open new database 'dbname'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Device activation error. The physical file name 'd:mssql7datadbname.ldf' maybe incorrect.
The path is where the logfile resided on the old server.
