List Attached Databases?
Mar 12, 2007Is there a stored procedure to list attached databases?
You can do this:
use Master
exec sp_helpfile
go
Which shows you the config files for the current DB.
What if you want to do a multiple sp_detach_db? If you could get a list of the attached DB's you could recursilvely or conditioinaly detach.

Getting List Of Databases From Server
Sep 25, 2006
Is there a way I can query the database server (SQL 2000) to get a list of all the available databases? As a threshold problem I am not clear how I would connect to the server. I am using VB.Net and presently connect to one database at a time. The connection string is in an XML file, such as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Connection>workstation id=ASUS;packet size=4096;user id=sa;data source="5.15.183.222KWMSDE2"; persist security info=True;initial catalog=tsLocal;password=pass
</Connection>
Is there some special way that you connect to the server without specifying the database?
Is there a certain query I must use once I am connected? Can the information be returned in the form of a data table in a data set?
Thanks.
List Of All Table Sizes In A Databases
Mar 6, 2000Hi,
Is there a query I can run to retrieve a list of all tables and their sizes in a database? I want something that is like the feature in Enterprise Manager when you click on a database and then the 'Tables & Index' link. It lists the tables and their respective size. I want to push this into a spread sheet.
The reason why I am doing this is the compare data between 2 different databases. Since I cannot find a tool that will compare the data, the closest I can get (without bcp-ing out all data and comparing) is to look at the sizes of each table.
Thanks!

Display List Of Databases In App_Data Folder
May 16, 2007Hi All,
The web site I'm working on will allow admin users to create a new database for each new client. I'm hoping to be able to keep all of the databases in the local App_Data folder, but I'm finding that I can't even find a way of generating a list of the databases in the App_Data folder.
The code I have is:Dim serverConn As New ServerConnection(".SQLEXPRESS")
serverConn.LoginSecure = True
serverConn.ConnectTimeout = 30
serverConn.Connect()
Dim sqlServer As Server = New Server(serverConn)
For Each db As Database In sqlServer.Databases
ListView1.Items.Add(db.Name)
NextThis does populate a list of databases, but not the ones in the App_Data folder - just those attached directly to the server.Any help on this will be greatly appreciated as it's starting to drive me nuts!Thanks,Paul

View 6 Replies View RelatedUsing Mdf Not Attached To SQL Server
Aug 31, 2006Hi. I am using VS 2005 and I want to create a database file (mdf) and have it on my server, but not have it attach to an instance of SQL server. Is this possible? The hosting I am using only allows for 1 SQL DB, and obviously doesn't allow you to attach instances of a DB. I would rather go with an mdf file that access, but not sure if this is possible. If anyone knows if it is and how to pull it off it would be GREAT!!

View 6 Replies View RelatedAttached In Vb8 Vs Vb6 Incompatability
Oct 10, 2006I have two programs which access sql server 2005. One was written in vb6 the other in vb8 (aka vb.net 2005).
vb6 works well with this connection string:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Database=MyDbName;Data Source=.MyServerInstanceName
vb8 (in vs2005) generated the following connection string which works well in the vb8 application:
Data Source=.MyServerInstanceName;AttachDbFilename='C:MyDbPathMyDbName.mdf';Integrated Security=True
Within their own programs each connection string works well. However, if I use one program and then the other (e.g., vb8 program then vb6), I get an error message:
Unable to open the physical file "C:MyDbPathMyDbName.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot acces the file because it is being used by another process.)".
If I detach the database using SSMS, I can then access it with the other program. Obviously, this is not an ideal situation and not something I would want the end user to have to do.
Also, when using the vb6 connection string, SSMS lists the database in Object Explorer as: MyDbName. When using the vb8, the database is listed as C:MyDbPathMyDbName.mdf. BTW, the database is set for multi-user.
How can I get the two programs to place nice together?
Backingng Up A Database That Is Attached
Jan 10, 2006Hi,
I was trying to figure out how to back up a database that has been attached to the SQL Express instance. I found on the web this tutorial and tried to use it, however it seems like it cannot find the database. The DB is attached by the web application using AttachDbFilename in the connectionstring.

Any ideas?

Attached Db Successful In QA But Not Showing In EM
Nov 13, 2001I used Query Analyser to De-tach a SQL 7 database and that worked fine. The database became 'invisible' in Enterprise Manager and the entry was removed from the sysdatabases in Master. The mdf and ldf file remain in the file system. However, when I ran the sp to Attach the database QA said successful but it does not show in Enterprise Manager or in sysdatabases in Master. I'm going to run through the procedure again and if problems I'll check the logs but has anyone else had difficulty with this. Also with attaching the db to a SQL2000 install I believe the logins on the SQL7 install are not brought over. In my case, the client is using trusted logins with their database application so their is probably not a lot to manually recreate on the SQL 2000 install but doees anyone have nay sample code/script that can give me an idea of what is required in the area of getting logins out of the Master of SQL7 and into SQL2000.
Great forum...
Have a great day,

Re-attached DB Lost Users
Aug 10, 2005If you re-attach a db to a different server, presumably you are shutting out your users (by them not having logins to the new server). If you are moving to a different domain I can only think that having the sa pwd and switching to "Mixed Authentication" would be the only way to get back in to start adding new logins/users, is that correct?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAttached Vs Detached Database
Nov 11, 2007Hello all,
I'm using SQL 2005 Express edition. I'm currently connecting to the database file directrly (from ASP.NET) and that db file is not attached to the server.
My question is this:
What is the difference ? Will the performance improve if the db is attached and I connect to it throught the server ? I'm really not sure what the difference is.
Thanks
