This problem occurs only if i give "program files" path for creating mdf and ldf files.
But i have admin previliges on the machine.
Can some doby suggest me if any other approach for creating database.
Folks, i had a database with data and log file on seperate disks. After reboot, i've lost the log file; now i am trying to attache the data file using EM and QA, i get the following error; plz guide:
Server: Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Could not open new database 'production'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. Device activation error. The physical file name 'D:production_log.LDF' may be incorrect.
Using SQL Express 2005. I want to attach some *.mdf files that are located in a folder other than the SQL Server Data folder (for example, D:MyData). If I do so, then I get an error message that the files can not be updated because they are read only. If I move the files to the SQL ServerData folder then they attach without errors and work fine.
Is there some way I can tell SQL Server to allow the attachments in my other folder as well?
I have a file backup of a database from machine 1. I create an empty database with the same name on machine 2 and copied the backup file to machine 2. When I run a restore database, I get "Preceeding restore operation did not specify WITH NORECOVERY OR WITH STANDBY.Restart tehe restore sequence, specify the options for all but the final step. Restore failed"
Database : SQL 7.0 Trying to restore from the Enterprise manager
A database move was accomplished by detaching the database from the legacy server and attaching it to the new server. The servers ran NT 4, SP6a, SQL 7 SP2. The new server had the same name and IP as the old server.
However that process (detach attach) does not bring over the users (who had access to the database on the legacy systems) correctly.
Under databases, roles the users existed. Under security, logins they did not.
We were obliged to drop the roles and recreate the logins and assign new roles. In the case of an NT user group we were unable to drop it. We had to create a new one and add the users to that group under User Manager.
So far I have not found anything that deals with the user account/role problem.
We have to move a similar database tonight. Do any of you know of an alternative "move" that brings the user roles/logins across correctly?
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!
Hi everyone In my SqlServer Management Studio Express, on start up it shows the server type option, but greyed.So that value is fixed to database engine. ( I'm trying to work on an SqlServer Compact Edition database through the SSMStudiothat's why I'm trying to get this to change.)Besides, after I connect i go to the Object Explorer, expand the server node, and go to Replication.When i expand replication, i get the "Local Subscription" option, but nothng for Publication.( I want to work on Merge Replication, that's why I desparately need Publication to work)Am i missing something here? I did not install SqlServer separately, I only have what comes bundled with the Visual Studio 2005 Setup.
So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online: • This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician. • The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.

I created a .bat file with this instruction and It's run well:
I want to distriburte a msde database. When doing so, I also want to make a new login, make a user, make the user the dbowner of the database i installed.
I found the Stored procedures I need to use, and I have tested that it works using OSQL.
What I want to do now is to make this automatic. After installing the database the OSQL commands should be executed and no user interference should be necessary. How can that be done ?
I have several sql scripts to be executed on a set schedule, with the output directed to a text file. If the schedule triggers this process daily, is it possible to append each days output to the same output file? I've researched the osql switches and various online sources...nothing really covers this.
This is done (relatively) easily with .vbs, but so far it looks tougher with TSQL.
i'm trying to execute some scripts created by the express studio script wizard. i can connect with the studio, the website (asp worker) but i can't create the right cmdline for osql ..... this is my osql line ......
when i try to put in the trust conenction parameter is says that it conflicts with the user flag ,. probably because its a differant type of login process. any ideas?
using osql utility i have converted a table in database to excel format. I have also chinese data in my database . The problem is while converting the data into excel format ,the chinese data is not comming in excel sheet. Does anybody have an idea about this . For converting i have used
declare @x varchar(300) set @x = 'osql -S Servername -U username -P passwd -q "select * from northwind..region order by cand_index" -w 3000 -s "," -o C:directoryfilename.csv'
Hi all I am using osql utility in sql server 2000 to convert data in database to excel sheet. My datas contain both english and chinese . While converting to excel sheet english datas are comming but the datas in chinese is comming like (?) this. Does any body has any idea to solve this problem. is there any way to set font in osql utility.
set @x = 'osql -S servername -U username -P password -q "select * from
northwind..region" -w 3000 -s "," -o C:Downloaddownload.csv' This is what i have used. Note: I tried giving chinese font in excel still it is not working. Its really urgent pls reply thanks

"osql -b will specifies that OSQL exits and returns a DOS ERRORLEVEL value when an error occurs. The value returned to the DOS ERRORLEVEL variable is 1 when the SQL Server error message has a severity of 10 or greater; otherwise, the value returned is 0."
my question is : how can I get the DOS ERRORLEVEL.
example:
C:>isql -E -b -Q"backup log pubs to disk='C:adsfasd.tmp'"
the result:

It's in chinese language,means "can not use BACKUP LOG when the restore model being SIMPLE,you can use ALTER DATABASE or BACKUP DATABASE to change the restore model. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server YANG, Line 1 BACKUP LOG aborted"
Hello All, A VERY green SQL Server DBA here looking for some help. Our main production environment is Oracle, which utilizes Control-M as a scheduler. At the end of the Oracle batch process, we would like to automate a process to kick off a sql server job (perhaps via osql??) Is this possible?
I run a script with Osql and got no error but the accent caracter (french message) are modified.
the script is CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.AccentTest AS Print('é à è î ï ù') GO and come CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.AccentTest AS Print('Θ α Φ ε ∩ ∙') GO :o This is very bad! Can someone can help me? Any suggestion? PLease.....
Is there any advantage of running an SQL statement through osql with the database information over using dynamic sql?
Example:
DECLARE @DB Varchar(50) DECLARE @SQL Varchar(4000) SET @DB = '<nvr_changing_server>.<my_dynamic_db_name>' SET @SQL = 'SELECT admissiontype_id AS atype, admissiontype AS atype_desc, start_date, end_date INTO tlkAdmitType FROM <nvr_changing_server>.<nvr_changing_DB>.dbo.tlkAdmissionTypes'
DECLARE @DB Varchar(50) DECLARE @SQL Varchar(4000) SET @DB = '<nvr_changing_server>.<my_dynamic_db_name>' SET @SQL = 'SELECT admissiontype_id AS atype, admissiontype AS atype_desc, start_date, end_date INTO ' + @DB +'.dbo.tlkAdmitType FROM <nvr_changing_server>.<nvr_changing_DB>.dbo.tlkAdmissionTypes'
EXEC(@SQL)
The purpose of all this is...I need to pass a parameter for the DB that I will be inserting into...here we create a new db with a specific name based on quarterly data. We collect, crunch, validate data and ship it. Then when it's old we archive it then eventually delete it.
I have written a script that makes this quarterly build less painful. In fact I won't have to do it! :)...our Sr. Data Analysts will do it now. In order for this beautiful thing (*in my mind anyway*) to work they need to set parameters for which data to pull and where to put it. The DB is scripted into existance and the data is moved into it. So therefore they need to enter the Qtr,Yr and dbname. I have done DSQL before on smaller scripts and I am just curious if the expert pool here can shed some light on this approach. The script will most likely be run in a DTS SQL Task.
I created a sql script that transfers data from my test system to production adn vice versa. I would like to use OSQL and be able to pass parameters to the SQL script.
Example: param 1 = test; param 2 = production.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible and how to do it?
Locally executing osql to create db files on a remote Webserver, I get this error:
41> 42> 43> 44> 45> Meldung 916, Ebene 14, Status 1, Server USER-EQ9OV60EMF, Zeile 12 Server user 'Robse_Testlogin' is not a valid user in database 'msdb'.
(The above is german and translates into "Message 916, Level 14,..., Row 12")
At first I'd like to justify myself - I'm rather a greenhorn in MS SQL ;-) What I'd like to do is to create a very simple spool file from my database. I'd like to do this using OSQL tool and it's very important for me to have the spool file in the same format as it was earlier when I used Oracle and simple spool command. And it's almost the same, but white spaces... There's always one white space at the begining of each line and at least one at the and of each line. I've been trying many OSQL switches and ltrim(..) / rtrim(..) functions but the problem still exists... The spool file is rather big - around 300MB so it's not good idea to use SED (for example) to remove white spaces. So my question: IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE WHITE SPACES COMPLETELY USING OSQL SPOOL?
Hi,I have several big tables with rows more than 25 mil rowsand to update/delete/insert data in these tables,it can take minutes.I use BULK Insert/DELETE/Update with osql.While I run one of these updates,if I try to select, it seems like both read and write get locked.Shouldn't SQL resolve this kind of locking?I left these to see if it gets resolved but both never returned.So I need to kill these processes.Does anyone have any scripts to find how long queries are running?Also I need to make osql timeout and tried -t but it didn't work.I used -t 1200 with DELETE in osql but it was running for more than 40minutes. So I killed it and ran DBCC DBREINDEX on the table and re-ranit and it worked.Shouldn't the query get killed after 10 minutes?What is exactly -t option for ?thanks,
I have some long running scripts which I fire at my database using osql.(These are big files and mostly doing inserts but some also do a few otherthings.) It would be nice to have some activity indication (other than thedisk activity light) that these are running. When I used to use Oracle,their equivalent to osql had an option to print a dot (without a carriagereturn) for every "n" statements. This gave a nice "I'm alive" indicator. Ican simulate this by adding a few "print" statements in my sql, but printalways adds a carriage return. Does anyone know a way of doing a print butwithout the addition of a CR (or CR/LF)? So that a second "print" sends itsoutput to the same line as the first?I know this is a nicety and I can live without it, but it would be nice.thanks in advance,Brianwww.cryer.co.uk/brian
I have a question. I am doing some work for someone and I have a batchfile that they can run that will execute an OSQL line and a DTSRUNline. In both lines I run them using the /S /U /P switches and ofcourse the /N or /i switch to tell it what to run. I have also triedreplacing the /U /P switches with the /E switch.My problem is that as long as I specify the users password on the OSQLline (either with /U & /P or with /E & /P) it will run. If I try andjust use the /E it will say password failed for DOMAIN/USER . Ok, Idon't really care I can specify the password and the script will run.However no matter what I do the DTSRUN line will not run, it gives methis same password error.I can run this line just fine on my PC on my network and my domainusing just the /S /E switches.Any ideas as to why it will work for OSQL but not DTSRUN?Thanks in advance.
I have not seen this ever on my computer until today...
I start CuteFTP or NetObjects Fusion 8 and I get an installer window popping up saying:
"Please wait while Microsoft configures Microsoft SQL desktop engine"
ZoneAlarm warns me that OSQL.exe is trying to connect to my network. I let it.
Then ZA warns me that OSQL is trying to connect to the internet. At this point, if I let it, or deny it, the thing installer (which looks to be half way done) reloads itself and starts over with ZA warning that it's trying to connect locally, then to the internet. Over and over this happens.
It wont let either of my program start until it goes through about 5 or 6 cycles of whatever it's trying to do.
Then it just disappears and my program will load.
If I close either CuteFTP of NetObjects and start them back up, the whole OSQL.exe thing starts again.
I have rebooted and it still does this.
The odd thing is some of the IP addresses it's trying to connect to.
72.14.207.104 - Google 96.6.129.187 - Akamai 207.46.248.249 - Microsoft (ok, that's understandable) I didn't write the IP address, but it tried to get to Hotwired.com too..
I need to do a restore similar to the Restore Database in SQL Enterprise Manager using OSQL. I created an app to do the OSQL Run script command and it works fine. Is this the best way to create a setup to restore the database? Any ideas please!!
