Tempdb.mdf Is Nota Primary Database File
Aug 6, 2007
I really needed to move the tempdb file to another hard drive, so I used this bit of code.
USE master
go
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev, FILENAME = 'E: empdb.mdf')
go
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = templog, FILENAME = 'E: emplog.ldf')
go
Now sql server manager won't even start. The log files says
"tempdb.mdf is not a privary database file. CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created.
WARNING: problem activiating all tempdb files. See previous errors."
Any ideas on how to make this program work again, without reinstalling it?

there is a sql job that failed yesterday. This job calls a store procedure. This store procedure doesn't use any temp table. But there are lots of updates and inserts clauses.
application log shows:
Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 2
The log file for database 'tempdb' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
----------------------------------------------------------------
tempdb.mdf 1.37gb
templog.ldf 19.6 mb
these files are located on D: drive and D drive has 52gb free space
databasename : tempdb
database_size: 1422.00 mb
unallocated space: 1403.60 mb
----------------------------------------------------------------
anyone to fix this?
i used "backup log tempdb with truncate_only" But i dont know if it truncated the log file?

Back up the transactionlog for the database to free up some log space.provided......1. My log file drive has more than 20 GB free out of 30 GB2. Both data file & log file has default setting on unrestricted filegrowth by 10%3. Currently we moved from SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000 & the load in the userside also doubled4. We can't do the temporary solution like restarting the server orSQL service, because the application is a real time system with muchless manual interaction.Thanks in advance.RegardsSeni

I'm currently running the command below and getting this error message. I am getting it every few seconds for a couple hours now. Seems to have started when I started this SPROC below. I'm just over 2 hours into running.
Not sure what this means yet, any help is much appreciated. Desperately trying to resolve this urgent matter!
thanks once again!

Hi all,
I downloaded and ran AdventureWorks.msi into my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) one year ago.But I did not know how to attach it to my SSMSE then. Last week, I deleted it from the "Add or Remove" of Control Panel and I downloaded the new AdventureWork.msi and installed it my SSMSE. Today, I tried to use the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express for the first Stored Procedure programming. I clicked on AdventureWorks.mdf and I got the following error: One or more files do not match the primary of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupt and should be restored from a backup. Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'CENADe1enxshc'. Log file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAdventureWorks_Data_log.ldf' does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database of the log may have been rebuilt previously. Please help and advise me how to correct this problem.
Thanks,
Scott Chang

We are doing restoring in a different data center and keep sending log backups and restore from there.Recently we want to bring a new volume to the sql server and move all databases to the new volume, then the problem comes, I did a test that I cannot simply change the drive letter, i.e. old disk letter x, new disk letter y, then I turn off all sql instances and move all databases(restoring status) to disk y, then get rid off disk x, resign x to disk y, so now new disk has old letter x now. then I continue the restore log against latest log backup, it returns the error.
Msg 3446, Level 16, State 2, Line 4
Primary log file is not available for database 'TestDB' (7:0). Â The log cannot be backed up.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
Is there a way to do this? or SQL Server doesn't support this change.

Hi Everone,
I need help on how to produce a SQL Server Database Primary Data File, i have read the Visual C# 2006 book by Deitel and Deitel unfortunately the book does not say how to produce the forementioned data file. The software that i currently have to help me produce this data file is Visual C#, J#, Web Development, SQL Server 2005 and Office 2007.
I have a good understanding of databases from studying SQL and Oracle but i am not sure which is the best software to use to produce the Primary Data File, ideally i would like to use Access from my Office 2007 package.
Many thanks for your help in resolving this problem.

I've just applied CU7 to a set of SQL2005 SP2 servers with no problems, except on one server.
I've now fixed the problem, but couldn't find description of it elsewhere so post it here in case it helps anyone else with the same problem.
Here's the problem I had. The server is Windows 2003 with two instances of SQL 2005 SP2 (9.00.3186)
1) Ran the patch (SQLServer2005-KB949095-x86-ENU.exe)
2) C: drive ran out of space whilst patch was running against instance A
3) Cleared down space on C: drive
4) Patch had hung, after 45 minutes of no activity I killed it
5) Re-ran patch, it reported instance A as upgraded already and just upgraded instance B
6) After reboot instance A failed to start. Instance B started with no problem.
The service was failing to start with the following recorded in the log:
Server Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3239.00 (Intel X86)
[€¦]
spid5s The resource database build version is 9.00.3186. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
spid5s Error: 5173, Severity: 16, State: 1.
spid5s One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.
spid5s Error: 5173, Severity: 16, State: 1.
spid5s One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup.
spid5s Log file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAmssqlsystemresource.ldf' does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database or the log may have been rebuilt previously.
spid5s The log cannot be rebuilt when the primary file is read-only.
spid5s Error: 945, Severity: 14, State: 2.
spid5s Database 'mssqlsystemresource' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details.
I think that the patch must have got part-way through instance A, enough to mark it as being patched, but not far enough to patch the mssqlsystemresource system database (note the version numbers in the log above - 9.00.3239 vs 9.00.3186).
The hotfix log records an error opening the registry, but the detailed log was overwritten by the subsequent (successful) run of the hotfix so there€™s no more detail available.
To fix this I copied in the mssqlsystemresource mdf and ldf files from instance B (which wasn€™t patched the first time round, and was subsequently patched successfully). From what I understand mssqlsystemresource is read-only and holds copies of system sprocs etc, so a copy will suffice. Plus I am assuming the SQL Server is clever enough to complain if it€™s not happy with the instance of the file.
Note that the problem recorded elsewhere for this error, where mssqlsystemresource or other system DBs have been moved from their original installation folders, was not the cause here.
Not sure if this is the 'correct' fix, but it got Instance A up and running. Obviously YMMV

In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.

The TEMPDB transaction log file keeps growing.The database server is new and the transaction log was presized to 1 GB on installation. After installing a number of databases, the log file grew over a day to 38GB. Issuing a manual checkpoint was the only way to free some space to allow it to be shrunk back to a usable size. The usage of the file is still going up.
I am struggling to find what process is causing the log to be used so heavily. Looking at the log reuse wait desc for tempdb returns "Nothing" and tempdb itself isn't being used very much or growing in size.

Greetings, 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.
Cheers ~ J

I have a customer they are running raid 5 on a windows 2000 server one of the drives went bad. The customer replaced the drive and raid rebuilt the drive, every thing seamed to be fine but there is one database file that cannot be attached to SQL. The file is 15G so I know there is information the error states that the file is not a Primary file. Any clue on how to fix this?

Hello all I am new here so I am sorry if this question has been asked 1,000,000 times.
First let me describe my environment:
VM-Ware ESX 3.01
3.0Ghz (Dedicated to VM)
3.0 GB RAM (Dedicated to VM)
Windows Server 2003 SP2
SQL Server 2005 SP2
Spotlight for SQL Server
Quest SQL Watch
Now the issue:
We are in current development of a new manufacturing system so the above system is just a development box at this stage. The problem that I am having is that the tempdb log file seems to grow out of control, and if I do not have time to shrink it, I have to bounce the mssql service in order to do anything once the disk is completly full. At one point I even made a job to shrink the log file every 15 minutes to try and prevent the uncontrolled growth.
I have researched this everywhere and it really is starting to get frustrating. I am highly leaning towards the application that is utilizing the database is heavily dependant on #temp tables. So I found this query to return me the top colums being used in the tempdb.
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(id), rowcnt
FROM tempdb..sysindexes
WHERE OBJECT_NAME(id) LIKE '#%'
ORDER BY rowcnt DESC
And I get the table that is using up the most rows.
SELECT *
FROM tempdb..sysindexes
WHERE OBJECT_NAME(id) LIKE '#4440A7FE'
After doing this I figured out that there is something that is writing to the tempdb around every 15 seconds about 100000+ rows at a time. And the alarming thing about it is that the record "rowmodctr" is already over 1 billion. So that leads me to beleive that this has modified rows over 1 billion times since I last rebooted the server a week ago.
So the main question that I have is. Is there a way to query what is inside that '#4440A7FE' table, so that I can pin it down to a session?
Also I have already said to the development team to use "derived tables" instead of temp tables, but they just fight with me all the time and blame the problem on hardware and configuration.
Please please help me with this as it getting really frustrating I am so sick of shriking that file. And sometimes it grows more that 3GB in less than 15 minutes.

Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:
Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.
This is what I set up last night on my test machine.
1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly
I would expect at this stage to have the following:
FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB
(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)
What I actually end up with is this:
FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB
It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.

I need some help understanding the benefit of creating tempdb with one file per processor. I believe the benefit has something to do with the way SQL Server utilizes processor threads, but I'm a bit weak on the details.

I have the classic "tempdb-out-of-space" problem. Unfortunately, my server fails to reboot properly as tempdb is located on the C: drive which is now completely full. While I understand the changes required to prevent this from happening again, I want to know if it will even reboot if I delete tempdb.mdf and tempdb.ldf. I've read conflicting information on MSDN about default tempdb file size:
- files are built to the default size (I will be fine)
- files are built to the same size as before (problem)
Which is true for SQL 2005?

My Tempdb log file is getting full very frequently. I could see that tempdb log file is not getting truncate automatically since checkpoint is not occuring as execpted.
If a shrink the tempdb its getting truncated immediately and releasing the full occupied space.
So i come to an conclusion that auto checkpoints are not happening even though the tempdb is in SIMPLE recovery model.
I search in KB and could find the article related to this error.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909369/en-us
I would like to get it confirmed is the article described is the same issue i am facing. Also if you could let me know the hot fix details for this, that would be great.

We have a problem with the size of the tempdb.mdf file. The tempdb had grown to 25Gb and consumed all the available disk space. SQL server was restarted and the tempdb was reset back to the default size. The following day the tempdb suddenly increased in size from 200mb to 25GB within a very short space of time. There were a couple of event log entries from sqlservger regarding the lack of disk. Since then the server is running without any problems but the level of free space is virtually zero on the drive with tempdb.mdf file.
What would cause the tempdb to grow suddenly and to this size?
Can I control the size the tempdb can grow to?

In tweaking performance of tempdb by adding add'l data files I want to reset back to defaults and remove all add'l files I've created. Â I was not able to do it for most as they were in use, but by starting the server in single-user mode with all other sql services shut off, and using sqlcmd I was able to use the ALTER DATABASE tempdb REMOVE FILE <tempdev#> to remove the files... except for one.
I have also tried using the command:
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev#, FILENAME = '<new location');
Restarted SQL server, and tried the ALTER DATABASE ... REMOVE FILE again but am always denied with the message that the file can't be removed b/c it's still in use.
I also tried to shrink it with EMPTYFILE but that also fails with the message that a page is a work table page and can't be removed.
I really need to get tempdb back to just one data file but am unable to find a way to remove this last data file.

I have an instance with 4 datafiles for tempdb each set at initial size of 4G and growth rate of 100MB. After some time the initial file sizes seem to have changed automatically. They now read 3962,100,3688 and 2847 respectively. Is this something done by SQL Server itself? I cannot imagine that it was done manually.
I don't think there was a restart after the initial sizes of 4G were set, could this be related to the problem?
