Sp_attach_db Failed On Mapped Remote Drive
Mar 1, 2001
Hi,all.
I tried to issue:
sp_attach_db pubs,'F:anthonypubs.mdf','F:anthonypubs.ldf'
where the pubs.mdf and pubs.ldf are on a remote mapped drive F:,
I got error:
Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'f:anthonypubs.ldf' may
be incorrect.
Is attaching a database ONLY supported for local servers ??
What about creating database on remote drive? (I have same error msg back)
Thx
Anthony

Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])

Here is the error, I receive:

Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'TestDB'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Here is my attach script:

sp_attach_db @dbname= N'TestDB',
@filename1 = N'S:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataTestDB.MDF',
@filename2 = N'L:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOGTestDB_Log.LDF'
This server has a Raid 5 Disk Array partitioned into three Logic Drives C:, S:, L:. Not sure, why the server was configured this way. If I attach the database with the data and log files on the same logical drive, the DB attaches successfully. When I try to put the data and log files on separate logical drives, it fails. Issue seems to be with the drive partitioning. Any Ideas?

I created a DTS local package on the SQL Server. It's basically importing a text file into a table in my database. This file resides in a mapped drive (X:) from another server. When I schedule the DTS as a job, it fails. It doesn't execute any of the workflow in the design.
However, when I copy the text file into a drive local to the SQL server (D:), it runs flawlessly.
What I do right now is I have a windows scheduled task that runs a batch file that copies the text file from X: to D: at certain time intervals. Then the job scheduler runs to import it.
What am I missing? How come the job scheduler can't read the file directly from the mapped drive?
Any info would be appreciated. TIA

Hey guys
I am having a problem with a DTS package that pulls from a flat file off a mapped drive. When the package is ran alone, it runs perfectly but the stored proc that I took from an example from the net will not execute the DTS properly and I am unsure as to why it will not do so.
CREATE PROC spExecuteDTS
@Server varchar(255),
@PkgName varchar(255), -- Package Name (Defaults to most recent version)
@ServerPWD varchar(255) = Null,-- Server Password if using SQL Security to load Package (UID is SUSER_NAME())
@IntSecurity bit = 0,-- 0 = SQL Server Security, 1 = Integrated Security
@PkgPWD varchar(255) = ''-- Package Password
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
/*
Return Values
- 0 Successfull execution of Package
- 1 OLE Error
- 9 Failure of Package
*/
DECLARE @hr int, @ret int, @oPKG int, @Cmd varchar(1000)
-- Create a Pkg Object
EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'DTS.Package', @oPKG OUTPUT
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** Create Package object failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG, @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Evaluate Security and Build LoadFromSQLServer Statement
IF @IntSecurity = 0
SET @Cmd = 'LoadFromSQLServer("' + @Server +'", "' + SUSER_SNAME() + '", "' + @ServerPWD + '", 0, "' + @PkgPWD + '", , , "' + @PkgName + '")'
ELSE
SET @Cmd = 'LoadFromSQLServer("' + @Server +'", "", "", 256, "' + @PkgPWD + '", , , "' + @PkgName + '")'
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, @Cmd, NULL
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** LoadFromSQLServer failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Execute Pkg
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, 'Execute'
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** Execute failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Check Pkg Errors
EXEC @ret=spDisplayPkgErrors @oPKG
-- Unitialize the Pkg
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, 'UnInitialize'
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** UnInitialize failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Clean Up
EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @oPKG
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
RETURN @ret
GO
that is the stored proc that i am using along with a couple error trapping ones but this being the one that does the actual execution. Is there anything i can change about this in order for it to run the DTS properly from the mapped drive?
thank you

From my workstation (with SQL Server 7 Desktop Edition SP3), I seem unable to restore a database on my Server (SQL Server Standard Edition SP3). I am logged into both machines, and I am an Administrator on both machines. Using either a UNC or Mapped Drive (see below)
RESTORE DATABASE ogAEC FROM ogAECDump WITH REPLACE , RECOVERY , STATS
, MOVE 'AEC_Data' TO 'Og-sqlsrvrC-DriveMSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF'
, MOVE 'AEC_Log' TO 'Og-sqlsrvrC-DriveMSSQL7DataogAEC_Log.LDF'
RESTORE DATABASE ogAEC FROM ogAECDump WITH REPLACE , RECOVERY , STATS
, MOVE 'AEC_Data' TO 'Q:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF'
, MOVE 'AEC_Log' TO 'Q:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Log.LDF'
I get
Server: Msg 3156, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The file 'Og-sqlsrvrC-DriveMSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF' cannot be used by RESTORE. Consider using the WITH MOVE option to identify a valid location for the file.
But I am successful if I run the essentially command locally from the server:
RESTORE DATABASE ogAEC FROM ogAECDump WITH REPLACE , RECOVERY , STATS
, MOVE 'AEC_Data' TO 'C:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF'
, MOVE 'AEC_Log' TO 'C:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Log.LDF'
What can I do to be able to restore DBs from my workstation?

Hi,
I have a rather odd problem that hopefully you'll be able to shed some light on.
We want to back up the databases to a hard drive held on another server so I mapped the drive in explorer to the drive then went into Enterprise manager and tried to create a backup device and it won't see the mapped drive.
I've tried mapping to my PC and I can see that via enterprise managers backup stuff (infact any PC in the office works) but it won't see any of the servers even though we can map to them and access them via windows explorer.
I've tried when logged on via sa and the windows NT administrator and still no luck. In fact no matter what I type or do it fails and keeps telling me device error or device off line which it isn't.
On our test instance of SQL Sever we can backup to other servers but not the new live version!
Any thoughts on what might cause this to happen and how to fix it?
Help much appriciated.
Thanks Helen

Although clearly not best practice for a produciton DB, is it supported to attach MDF/LDF files that are hosted on a network drive?
I have been exploring options to host a read only archive database that we need to access on a very short term adhoc basis.

I am setting up 4 Windows 2003 server with SQL server 2005 .
I am using a new SAN device and I am setting up over 37 separate devices.
Three of the machines will be the production machines. The fourth machine will
contains log shipped copies of 37 databases.
I would like to keep each the 37 databases on its own device on the new SAN device.
The problem that I am running into is that I can only map drives up to the letter Z .
Is it possible to map more than 26 drives on a Windows 2003 server ?

I'm trying to create a job that will copy a backup file from a mapped network drive to a local folder however it keeps failing due to a privilege.
The command is:
copy 10.10.10.5f$ est.nightly H:MSSQLBackup est.nightly
I can run the command successfully from the command prompt, however using the same command in a SQL Server job it fails with "Access is denied".
How do I configure the mapped network drive to allow the Sql Server Agent to get access to it?

I am trying to add a linked server from a AMD x64 server (Windows 2003) with SQL Server 2005 64 bit to a Server running SQL 2000. These are not in the same domain.
I can create a linked server using the option "Be made using the login's current security context" but can not when trying to specify the security context, i.e. sa and the sa password. When I try I get the following message:
Msg 15185, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 98
There is no remote user 'sa' mapped to local user '(null)' from the remote server 'DTS_FSERVER'.
I have several other x64 server that I have no problem creating a linked server and specifying sa and the sa password.
The problem with using "the login's current security context" option is that I get an error when trying to run any Jobs against the linked server. The job fails withe the following error:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7416). The step failed.
I'm sure the two errors are related. Any ideas what is going on?

Hi
I have VC++ express and MSSQL SMS express and have an application working nicely locally. The Data explorer and data connections part works really easily.
Now, I want to make the application available to my home network.
I mapped the drive where the database is and called it Z: so I could put my "release" on my other network PC and assumed it would find Z: if I mapped the shared network drive on that machine and called it Z:
But: I can't even add the mapped connection on the local machine, I get:
The file "Z:databasescalorie.mdf" is on a network path not supported for database files. An attempt to attach.....etc"
It works fine on the original F drive.......
Am I approaching this the wrong way. How should I distribute to network PCs?
thanks hopefully
David

Our production database is located on one server, and our test database resides on another. Often, we need to restore the production dump to the test database. But the Restore Device from Server window doesn`t seem to allow references to dump files on a different server. I`ve tried using the Add Backup Disk File window to point to the remote location; but it doesn`t seem to save the reference when I close the window.
I`m sure there`s a way to handle this without copying the dump file from one server to the other.
This would seem to be a common scenario. Thanks for any suggestions that others have found useful.

I have an SSIS package which accesses a map UNC path drive. It works fine when I run SSIS from Visual Studio. However, when I run this from a SQL Server job, it gives an error.
I am not allowed to use xp_cmdshell due to security reasons. If someone can point me to right direction, that would be greatly appricated.

Hello, everyone:
I want to write a query to check a remote shared drive. The shared drive is mapped as T drive in my local. I run the statement,

"The system cannot find the path specified."
But I run DIR T: in DOS prompt, it works.
Any help will be great appreciated.

Hi!
What is the fastest whay to take the resultset
from an temporary table (# table)
and write it to an remote destination (mapped network drive)

Similar question if I take the resultset and convert it to xml (using FOR XML clause)

When I try to add a (SQL Server 2005 Express Edition) database to my project (I'v tried a windows application and an ASP.NET application) in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition; It fails with an error like this :
"create database failed. some file names listed could not be created (...)"
but when I open the project from the real path It works.
Is this a bug? Is there any solution? (In many situations there is a need for working with virtual drives. There must be some work around ...)

I moved my web and DB to a new server. I am trying to use a private network between my servers to connect to my DB.
I backed up my DB on the old server, copied it to my new server, then restored it.
I then went into Security > Login and set up a User Name & Password and set the db as the default db, made that user the owner, etc.
I went to my web server, changed my connection string to this:
Code:
sConString = "Driver={SQL Server};" & _
"Server=tcp:MYSERVERNAME;" & _
<!-- The server name -->
"Address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,1433;" & _
<!-- The Private IP Address between servers -->
"Network=DBMSSOCN;" & _
<!-- Telling it to use TCP -->
"Database=DBNAME;" & _
<!-- The name of the DB I am connecting to -->
"Uid=UNAME;" & _
<!-- The user name to login with -->
"Pwd=UPWD;"
<!-- The Users Password -->
(Obviously I changed the critical info above, but this is the format I used)
I cannot seem to login to the DB. I get the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e4d'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'UNAME'.
/(file path), line 5
I have read the following article and it appears I have everything right.
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;827422&spid=2852&sid=332
Somehow I cannot seem to connect/login to get the proper access. Can anyone help? Anyone see anything I am doing wrong? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for the help in advance. I am trying to get this done tonight so it is running in time for the morning.

I am unable to connect to a SQL instance on the server from a workstation on the same network.
SQL Express SP1 is installed on the server, and allows mixed authentication. The instance name is <SERVERNAME>SQLEXPRESS.
Both the Database and Browser services are running.
Local and remote connections are enabled under SAC. I also used sp_configure to make the same changes.
All Protocols for SQLEXPRESS have been Enabled using the Configuration Manager.
The firewalls on both machines have been disabled.
Rebooting the server or restarting services after various changes hasn't affected the outcome.
Local connections made directly on the server are always successful using either authentication mode.
SQL Native Client Driver is installed on the workstation.
The workstation user is trusted. However, neither authentication mode is successful.
The connection string from the workstation uses the named instance above and the SQL Native Client driver.
Other services on the server are working and avaialble to the workstation, such as shared folders.
When I attempt a connection from the workstation I receive the following errors:
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error: -1
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]SQL Networtk Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF].
Connection failed:
SQLState: 'HYT00'
SQL Server Error: 0
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server Error: -1
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
I have tried all of the recommendations I can find here without any luck. What am I missing?

Can anyone spread any light on the following.
I've created a database of 2 tables which exists over 2 drives. I had a 6 Gig log file on one drive and a 1 Gig log file on the other so I used sp_detach_db to detach it. I then deleted the log files and attempted to sp_attach_db with the following:
"sp_attach_db @dbname =N'cwc_load', @filename1 = N'f:cwc_loadcwc_load_data.mdf', @filename2 = N'e:cwc_loadcwc_load_data2.mdf'"
which are the locations of the .mdf files.
I get the error messages 5105 and 945 (which cannot be tracked down using either the Microsoft site or on-line help) but the messages are "Device Activation error. The physical file name 'F:cwc_loadcwc_load_log.ldf' may be incorrect"
"Database 'cwc_load' cannot be opened because some of the files cannot be activated"
which to me tends to suggest that the database is looking for the log files (now deleted).
I've tried forcing a new log file I created using the same locations for the mdfs. I've tried using create database cwc_load on primary (filename = 'etc) which gives the same error message, please tell me someone out there has a resolution for this.

As part of moving to SQL2K from SQL7 I'm doing sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db on the source server. For those databases that have multiple .ldf files do I need to add a separate filename= line to the sp_attach_db command for each .ldf, or only reference the original .ldf in a single filename?
Thanks,
AL
P.S. Given that I've done a few databases already, what's the effect of entering only the single filename line if multiple filename lines were required?

I followed the steps outlined in a blog I found to setup SS2005 express for remote connections. Everything appeared to go smooth until I actually tried to logon ;)
I have Sql Server 2005 Express installed on my WinXP PRO machine at home (no domain). I have opened the ports on the firewall, etc.
When I try and login from the SQLCMD command line tool I get a Login Failed error. Here is the connection string that I'm trying to use:
SQLCMD -S **.***.**.*SQLEXPRESS -U Steve -P MyPassword
The error:
Login failed for user 'Steve'.
When I use Management Studio Express on the same machine running Sql Server, it shows the User name: NEVERSTILLSteve
'NEVERSTILL' is the name of my computer.
If I try and use that same username with a remote connection I get the same error.
I have googled for the error and msg code, but nothing fitting my situation is coming up.
Anyone have any ideas for me?

Hi, all!
I am writing the VDI application to allow backup/restore MS SQL Server 2005. I would want to backup/restore remote servers as well as local. I have local instance of MS SQL 2005 and remote. Local instance has MSSQL2005_ZORG instance name, remote uses default (so it supposed to be MSSQLSERVER).
While connection to those server via SQL Server Management studio i see local server as "ZORGMSSQL2005_ZORG" and remote as "VM2000SRVZ2".
When i try to create VIrtualDeviceSet via CreateEx i pass "MSSQL2005_ZORG" as lpInstanceName parameter and all works fine. But I could't create same device set for remote 'MSSQLSERVER' instance. I passed any combination for that, such as "VM2000SRVZ2MSSQLSERVER", "MSSQLSERVER", "VM2000SRVZ2", "\VM2000SRVZ2MSSQLSERVER" and so on. No luck always get VD_E_INSTANCE_NAME (0x80770007).
Any idea?
--Thanks
