How to identify whether the files are in read write or read only?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two database files, one .mdf and one .ndf. The creator of these files has marked them readonly. I want to "attach" these files to a new database, but cannot do so because they are read-only. I get this message:
Server: Msg 3415, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Database 'TestSprintLD2' is read-only or has read-only files and must be made writable before it can be upgraded.
What command(s) are needed to make these files read_write?
thanks
I have a few servers registered in my Enterprise Manager which I am managing. Can I see the server error log files for these servers?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. The problem I am having is that when I try to attach the existing db files I get a message that says "database cannot be upgraded because it is read only or has read only files...."
Thing is... there is no write protection on the files.
Can anyone advise me on how to overcome this problem so that I can attach the db, please?
Thank you

I have a SSIS package which reads an excel file and loads data into a table using script component(C#) as a source. The package runs without any errors when I manually run it on my machine and on the server. But the package fails when run as a SQL Server Agent job.
I tried all the possible fixes I found on the web but still can't get it to work.
Some records got deleted from our DB. We don't have any triggers to log this delete transaction. Is there anyway to find out from log files or someother places to find out about this deletion. Is this information stored in transaction log. We do complete backup every night. So I think the transaction log will be truncated after the complete backup right?
Please advise on this.
thanks
I saw some .trc files will be created by SQL Server Express
I would like to view them (I suppose they are 'trace files') in order to find info about problems I encounter.
Somewhere I read 'SQL Server Profiler' should be used to read them but (to me) it seems that's not being installed using the downloads I found (SQLEXPR_ADV.exe and SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.exe) so I wonder how to get it or how to view them differently
Hi
I have decided to approach the problem here
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=103310
by using a Stored procedure, someone mentioned it's possible
for a SP to read the contents of a text file ?
IS it ?
For example i have a DB table
with fields to,from,subject,body
problem is the body field references a file (full path)
and i need to extract all info into a txt file
the full txt body, so can i perform some sort of inner
operation on the select body .. part of the SP ?
Hello,
I have 2 tables EmployeeA(Eng) and EmployeeB(Spanish) kept in seperate mdb's. I want to add the records into Sql Server 2005 table called StateEmployee.
Procedure:
1. Loop through 2 folders..one containing table EmployeeA in mdb and other containing tbl EmployeeB in diff mdb's.
2. Pick a file from EmployeeA and EmployeeB, both at the same time.
3. Count the total no of rows in both files. If equal proceed.
4. Compare the 'employeeid' of one row of employeeA to the employeeid of EmployeeB.
5. If employee id matches, load both the rows in Sql server else file it to the error table.
6. Loop through all rows simultaneously till end of row.
7. Go to next mdb.
How do i go about this step by step. I am fairly new to SSIS.
Hello there
I have written a small code that is used to read records from a txt or a csv file, but when i try to read from a txt or csv file which is in unicode, i get the following error
No value given for one or more required parameters........this error is recieved on the following line
dtadpt.Fill(DataSet.Tables("table2"))
The code for reading from a file is as follows
Dim dtrow As DataRow
Dim cmdtxt, file, path
Dim dtadpt As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim Command As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand
Dim Conn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
file = 'name of the file'
path = 'path of file'
Conn = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & path & ";" & "Extended Properties=""text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited""")
For Each dtrow In DataSet.Tables("table1").Rows
Dim id
id = dtrow.Item("id")
cmdtxt = "Select * from " & file & " where id = " & id
Command = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(cmdtxt, Conn)
dtadpt.SelectCommand = Command
Next
DataSet.Tables.Add("table2")
dtadpt.Fill(DataSet.Tables("table2"))
this code works if i choose a csv or txtfile which is in ANSI format. But i want to read from a unicode file because i have some information in that unicode format that i want to store
any idea how this can be possible
thanks and best regards

I just want to know how to search text/record inside the Html files. I had one column in my database named €˜Path€™ I saved the html file names in this column and the physical files in a folder. Full Text search is enabled on this column. Whenever I try to search it returns nothing.
Just need one small example to know how it works, what functions used to search inside the files and how.

So did some troubleshooting on the my previous post -http://forums.microsoft.com/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=272319&SiteID=1
Thanks to everyone who tried to help... So I got some insight into what is happening.
My package was having trouble reading files on a remote domain although I mapped the drives locally. This does not cause either running the package to failed either through directly running under VSS, or Execution Utility. But it failed when I try to schedule it through SQL server agent.
I wonder if it is the security context problem and asking for help of how to get around that issue.
So I have a for each file loop container that retrieve filenames on a remote domain which has a different security account then my local account. So how I got around that was to map that drive locally to a drive letter...example W:
then I use W: as my path within my package. I was trying to figure out where I can declare the connection within my package specifically, but don't know if I could do that.
If I run this through VSS or exectuion utility, it works okay. I was able to see W: and all the files on that mapped drive and read in the data.
However, when I schedule it under SQL agent, it doesn't see any files then exited the package as success right the way, because it has nothing to do....
So is there a different between the security context on mapped drive between VSS and my SQL agent? If so...How do I get around that challenge?
BTW, the two domain do not have share accounts between each others. I had to specified and map the drives explicitly.
THANKS!

Hi,
I have a package that reads a fixed width flat file data into a single CHAR column in an sql server 2005 table.
In the "Columns" tab of the Flat File Connection Manager, I set the RowDelimiter value to {LF} and nothing for the ColumnDelimiter (since I read the entire row from the flat file into a single column in my sql table).
However, in the "Advanced" tab, the ColumnDelimiter Misc property shows {LF}. This was working fine for me.
The problem I was facing was with some files which were recently identified to have rows containing a special character (probably ASCII ZERO) in the middle of the row. So, now if the record was having 400 characters and the 200 th character had this special character, the package was writing the first 200 characters into the sql table and ignoring the rest of the characters.
I am sure that the special character was ASCII ZERO - I wrote a script to read each character in the line and find the ascii code for it.
Has anyone faced this problem ever. If so, pls let me know your solution or any ideas that can help sort this problem. Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
I have a requirement to
a. Read data from Different CSV files.
b. insert and update data to Data base in multiple table using joins.
This execution runs for 1-2 hours.I can use C# with Ado.net, but only concern I see is if in between execution fails due to some connection or other error. All insert data has to be cleaned up again.I feel writing and Store procedure inside transaction, which will take path's for CSV file as input and insert data in database. using transaction we will have flexibility rollback to original state.
I'm contemplating a sql server archive strategy that rolls really old data off any sort of dbms and onto low cost media like dvds in a non relational archive format. I dont want to ever worry about these archives spanning different versions of sql when i go to retrieve a range of data that happens to span sql versions (eg one disc was sourced from 2005 another by 2008 but my report needs a union of both).
So I'm thinking about neutral/efficient formats for these archives and a live homegrown catalog that can determine exactly what disc(s) need to be mounted based on passed from and to date parameters...all so that the data that might span discs (and versions and maybe even schemas) can be merged and loaded into my sql version d'jour's "throw away" archive database for a one time report or other unplanned activity.
I remember raw data types being very convenient as an ETL format for our customers who have ssis, but wouldn't want our sqlexpress customers to be left without the archiving capability. Do the "things" that read and write raw data files really originate in some special T-SQL command that all sql editions can use, or is it strictly an ssis thing?
i attached adventure works in sql server 2008 and it showing as read only ,make it read write or remove read only tag from database.

Hi gurus,
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.

i have a database which get refreshed every day from client's data . and we need to pull heavy data from them every day as reports . so only selects happens on that database.
we do daily population of some table in some other databases from this daily refreshed DB.
will read uncommitted or NOLOCK with select queries to retrieve data faster.
there will be no dirty read as there are NO DML operation in that database so for SELECT which happens concurrently on these tables , will NOLOCK work?
Can a user of db owner role of a database change the databse option to read only and read-write?If not what permission I need to grant to the user?

OK, I'm using VS2003 and I'm having trouble. The page works perfectly when I created it with WebMatrix but I want to learn more about creating code behind pages and this page doesn't work. I think it has some things to do with Query builder but I can't seem to get change outside "please register". I have the table populated and it is not coming back with "login successful" or "password wrong" when I've entered correct information. Enclosed is what I've done in VS2003. Can you see where my error is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

if it is possible to run a distributed query against 2000 from 2005, what would the OPENDATASOURCE parameters look like? I'd like to be able to pivot without copying my older 2000 db to 2005 or using linked servers..
For reference, here's an example of a distrib query that reads excel...
ie SELECT * INTO XLImport3 FROM OPENDATASOURCE('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source=C: estxltest.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0')...[Customers$]
is there any way to view and read the sql server log using T-SQL or .NET form?
