How to estimate the size of datafile while creating the database?
View 2 Replies View RelatedGreetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.

For a database, we have 4 data files in a particular file group and the file sizes are almost 70 GB each.
Do I come across any performance issues if I create/pre-allocate an additional data file in the same file group so that the existing files don't grow too much?
yes,I have an error, like 'The database file may be corrupted. Run the repair utility to check the database file. [ Database name = SDMMC Storage Cardwinpos_2005WINPOS2005.sdf ]' .I develope a program for Pocket Pcs and this program's database sometimes corrupt.what can i do?please help me
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create an ssis package with dynamic csv file as output. and out format contains query output.
sample file name:
Unique identifier + query output + systemdate();
The expression is looking like this.
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName] + ".CSV"
-- user filepath is a variable from ssis package. File name is the output from SQL query. using script task i have assigned the values to @[User::FileName] .
When I debugged the script task the value getting properly but same variable am using for Flafile destination. but its not working.
I know allot of folks are having this problem and I tried lots of things but nothing works. I understand the problem is coping the SQL Express on another server is the problem - I just not sure what to do?
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42
This is the last statement on the Stack Trace:
SqlException (0x80131904): An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file e:wwwdata81d0493fwwwApp_DataTestDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.]
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) +735091
I checked my server forum and they said I had to name a database:
Example: Database=(unique name);
But this didn't work either.
I just tried a simple web project that has only one database and one table in SQL Express with one sqldatasource and one datagrid. It works fine on my pc but when I use the copy function in Visio Studio 2005 Pro - I can't run the site on the remote server: www.myjewelrydirect.com
I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TestDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
With all the comments in these forums - this must be a bug.
I have been working on this problem for over 2 weeks - HELP!
Can anybody run me through the process to create a CSV file from an SQLexpress database using BCP.exe ?
Or is there a simpler way to create a CSV for that matter?
Really important and would be much appreciated.
Hi,
If anyone knows ,please tell how to store all fields with comma seperation by select statement into a text file, without using Extended Stored Procedure.
Thanks in advance.
I have a system which has several different dbases involved, and have created an update procedure within it all. It all works fine, but as a refrenence point I want to create a log file,each time the procedure is run.
This file will have useful info such as no of transactions added, no of product row n customer rows, any unmatching entries and any exception records. What I dont know is how do I create such a file?
I was thinking maybe I could save the info into a table, and then somehow transfer this into a txt file? The txt file will be replaced each time the stored procedure is run.... Does any1 know any links or ideas that might help me?...I never does anything lik this b4 but I have seen it done.....
Thanks in advance!
Hi All!
I am still trying to understand all the differences between SQL 2000 and 2005. This question probably has a really easy answer, but I just don't know it. I need to create a DTS routine that creates a file from a table. The catch is, it needs to have a header segment, data segment, and footer segment. In SQL 2000, I would have created activex script to create this file. Since SQL 2005 is going away from activex script I am at a loss.
The file will be in this format.
Header
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Footer
Basically output header from table... loop through table for data... and output footer from table.
If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate the help.
Thanks.

Hi,
We are using VS 2005 with SQL Server Mobile Edition. We created the .sdf file on the desktop and added this file to our VS project and set the Build Action to content. Next we deployed our app on Symbol PDA which has Windows CE 5.0 as the OS. We followed the following steps:
1. Deploy the app.
2. Install .NET CF 2.0
3. System_SR_ENU.CAB
4. sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
5. sqlce30.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.CAB
6. sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB
Now I want to create a new .sdf file in PDA. So I open QA3.0 and type the create database command. But I get error:
You need to have a database connection opened in order to run this operation.
What could be the issue?

Vilas

I am using this bcp out construct and it works fine except that if the query does not return values it bcp's out a file anyhow. This is not wanted and I am looking for a work around.
SELECT @Year = CONVERT(varchar(4), @trxYearMonthStart, 120)
SELECT @Month = RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar(7), @trxYearMonthStart, 120),2)
SELECT @cmd = 'BCP "SELECT * FROM ' + @TableToBeCleaned + ''
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + ' WHERE '+ @SelectedColumn + ' BETWEEN '
print @cmd
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + '''' + CONVERT(varchar(10),@trxYearMonthStart,120) + ''' and ''' + CONVERT(varchar(10),@trxYearMonthEnd,120) + ''''
print @cmd
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + 'AND NOT EXISTS (Select * from DBCleanerHist Where TableName = ''' + @TableToBeCleaned + ''' and sYear = '+ @Year + ' and sMonth = ' + @Month + ')'
print @cmd
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + ' " QUERYOUT ' + @DBCleanerBackUpPath+'' +@TableToBeCleaned +'_'+ @Year + '_' + @Month + '.txt '
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + ' -c -C1250 -S -Uopms -Psmpo'
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @cmd
The subquery checks first in DBCleanerHist if a file already has been extracted onto hd and if so do not create an empty file and overwrite an existing file.

Bit of a SQL newbie, having taken over a support role for a piece of software that my firm sells. It is basically a DB that runs on MSDE or SQL Server in either desktop or enterprise scenarios.
We do sell our software to clients who may or may not already have SQL on their machines. During installation, it searches for sqlservr.exe for existing SQL installations and if it finds nothing, will then install MSDE 1.0 to house the db files.
My question is this -
I can manually create a db or manually attach an existing db through sql query analyser where there is a full-blown SQL installation. Is there any way I can do the same where there is only MSDE installed? The simple solution, I guess, would be to download one of the freeware or shareware MSDE "Enterprise Managers", but this won't always be suitable for a client installation.
Many thanks for your assistance all.

Hi All,
We have a fairly standard process whereby we get a trigger file from a client FTP site, and check whether it's blank (zero length) or not. if it's not zero length, then we attempt to download the actual data file. if that's successfull, we overwrite the trigger file with a blank file.
now this is all very easy in a batch script or unix shell script, but there appears to be no "create file" option in the file system task. I've also tried having a flat file destination in a data flow task but it insists that it wants columns to be fed to it.
how can I create a blank file?!?!?
Andrew.
Here is my code
ALTER PROCEDURE Test
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @From varchar(10)
DECLARE @To varchar(10)
DECLARE @DBName varchar
SELECT TOP 1 @From = CONVERT(char,CreateDate,101) FROM CustomerInfo
WHERE TicketNum =
(SELECT TOP 1 TicketNum FROM CustomerInfo
WHERE CreateDate <= DATEADD(mm, -30, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
ORDER BY CreateDate DESC)
SELECT @To = CONVERT(char,GETDATE(),101)
SET @DBName = 'Archive_SafeHelp'
CREATE DATABASE @DBName + ' ' + @From + ' ' + @To
END
I am trying to create a database based on the name contained in the variables. I get the error 'Incorrect syntax near '@DBName'. How do i accomplish this?

Is there a way I can use one SQL server 2005 (full edition not express) Stored procedure that can execute a .SQL file as if it were in the SQL management studio Query window?
I have the situation where I have some .SQL file which were created with the 'Create to File' option in SQL Management studio. I then want to send them to a user who can execute them to create a SP on his SQL server without having to run the SQL management tools.

Hi,
I have a created a DTS packges which is reading data from sql server table, manipulate this data as required and then create a text file with that data. I created the text file using FileSystemObject. I was writing one field at a time to the text file.
I need to same thing but instead of creating text file, I need to create a excel file with each column from database going to separate column in excel sheet. I tried to do this with FileSystemObject, but it was wrting all the columns from database to one cell in excel sheet. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks!
