Change Logfile Location Without Taking Offline

Dec 7, 2007

If I can get around taking a few databases offline, I'd like to. I need to get logfiles on a lower-capacity drive.

Ideally, I wouldn't like to have multiple logfiles swimming around. But, I was thinking that if I created a second logfile, and then backed up the transaction log, I might be able to remove the first logfile?

The other thought I had, was creating a second logfile, and then turning off autogrow on the first log.

Maybe there is a better solution? Maybe neither of these will work?
Thoughts?

DB Engine :: Keeping Service Up While Taking Drive Offline

Sep 2, 2015

I have clustered instance with two (2) data drives on it. Drive J has around 50 databases on it and drive K has about 15. One of the system administrators was trying to increase the size on K by 20 GB and he instead increased it by 200. Now he needs to take the accidental 180 GB back but the drive will need to come offline briefly. Is it possible to take the K drive offline, along with the databases whose data files resides on it, without taking the whole instance down?

Offline Command Hangs When I Try To Take Database Offline

Apr 10, 2007

Hi, I am relative newbie to SQLServer. When I try to take a user database offline, the query "hangs," with the query processing circle spinning. The Sharepoint 7 application is running on top of the Enterprise SQL Server 2005 db with several logins sleeping and awaiting commands. No errors are generated until I kill the offline command. Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to kill all the connections?

Reinstalling SQL 7 After Detaching Dbs

Dec 8, 1999

I understand that you must sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db to move databases to a new server. What if you want to reinstall SQL 7.0 to a different drive on the same server? My situation is this:

We have C:, D:, and E: drives. I accidentally installed SQL 7 on the C: drive instead of the D: drive. I need to reinstall on D: and I need the data. Any suggestions?

Detaching And Attaching

Dec 10, 2006

Hi,
Im not new to SQL Server but I am new to v.2005. We have done a class project and to finish up I am creating schemas, logins and different user roles and permissions.
I now need to detach the DB and send it to our team leader for submission. I'm scared to do this because I don't know if all the logins and passwords I've created will appear in it's new location. Will they be there in the new server's security folder just as I created them or will they dissapear into the ether?

Sweating very much

Attaching And Detaching A Database

Jul 20, 2005

Q1.)In SQL Server 2000, is it always possible to use copies of thedata and transaction log files of a database from one server toreattach to a new database on another server, or even to the sameserver, without first detaching from the existing database?Books Online says that detaching a database closes the data and logfiles cleanly. I read some where that some times, it is possible toattach without detaching, if the data and log file are in stablestate.This is what I tried - Tried to copy Northwind.mdf and ldf files usingwindows explorer and it gave an error message that the files are inuse. I shutdown the server and now I could easily copy them. Afterthat I renamed these files and successfully attached them as a newdatabase.Q2.)Is it possible to do the same with large production databases?Q3.) Please explain what goes on during detaching /attaching process.Thanks in advanceRavi

Detaching And Moving Databases

Nov 23, 2006

Not sure if this is the exact forum I need but here goes.

Having a bit of an issue 'moving' a database. I've only just installed SQL Server 2005 on a Development/Test box so I can learn and mess around with it without doing any serious damage to anything important.

One of the first things I've done is install the AdventureWorks database and, having installed it, decided I would move the files to their optimum locations. However having detached the database I can't seem to move or copy the .mdf or .ldf files - something still seems to have its tentacles around them - 'Access denied' error. Even rebooting the server doesn't work. So I've had to delete then re-attach the database. The question then is does Detach serve any useful purpose? Or am am doing something wrong? With SS2000 I could detach a database, relocate the physical files and re-attach in seconds. The same procedure with SS2005 has taken me an hour!

Regards,

Gordon F.

Views On Attaching/Detaching Mdf Files

Apr 9, 2008

I am currently having a problem in the implementation of a Database for my C#.net winform application.

Look at the 2 diagrams below:

Diagram 1 : A typical databse design where it usees only 1 mdf file.


Diagram 2: A new proposed approach to implement the Database with multiple mdf files of the same schema!!

In the new proposal of the DB, each mdf files is kept separately and an additional module is required to attach and detach these databases as and when required. The purpose: the performance of all actions on the small data is not affected by the size of the large data

How does this 2 methods measure up in terms of resource usage, performance, etc??

Need comments and views. Thanks.

Detaching And Attaching A Database For My Project

Mar 22, 2008

I hope this is the right forum for this question.

I am working with an asp.net project in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. This is a starter kit project. There is a database that came with the project that I want to open up in the SQL Server 2005 Express management studio so that I can modify it.

I have detached the db in the VWD environment.But, I do not see this db in the db folder with in the SQL Server studio's IDE. I am assuming that I have to attach the database to the SQL Server management studio in order to work with it. Is this the correct way to do this type of thing? Is there a better way of doing it(a stored proc like mentioned below)?

I also have a question about the icons that pertain to this situation. I have noticed two variations of the same icon. I want to be sure I am interpretting these correctly. I am assuming that the icon that is a cylinder representing a db with the little
electrical plug coming out from behind it means that the db is attached. There is another version of this icon that has a red "x" over the plug. I am assuming that this means it is detached. Is this correct?

I have attached and detached dbs in Sql Server Express. Is the process the same for doing this with a project in Visual Web Developer? Is there a stored proc that I can use to detach from the SQL Server 2005 environment after I have made a database and attach this to my project in VWD in one step?

-thanks in advance

It could able to Detach the DB from MSDE,but attachment to SQL 2005 is failing. When I verified MSDE Instance through Managment studio "MyDB" wasnot there ; means it got detached.I couldnt find the DB in SQL 2005. When I tried manually through command prompt I was able to attach "MyDB" to SQL2005.

Error 4064 After Detaching And Reattaching Database

Oct 8, 2007



Since the "Cannot Open User Default Database (error 4064)" thread is closed, and I had this same error, I'd thought I'd leave the solution that worked for me since I spent about 2 hours researching this problem. After detaching my database, then reattaching it, I couldn't log back in with my login ID. I could get in using the sa account. I could also log in with my login ID if I set the default database to master using SQL Server Management Studio by navigating to Security, Logins, right-clicking my login ID, then setting the default database to master. However, this isn't a solution, because I need my login ID to default to the database I reattached, not master.

One way of resolving this is to set the new Login ID as the owner. Right click the database under Databases in Management Studio, choose Properties, choose Files, then set the owner with the new login ID. I can then connect to the reattached database with my login ID. If I set the owner back to sa, I can't connect with my login ID, I have to use sa. If someone has a solution to relink my new login ID and the user with the same name so I can log in with sa set as the owner, I'd love to hear it. I can't make that work.

BTW, if I go under Logins, right click my new login ID, choose properties, then User Mapping, my reattached database is selected under Users mapped to this login. However, the Users and Default Schema columns are both set to dbo.

Is There A Problem Detaching A Database From SQL2000 And Attaching It To SQL2005?

Dec 5, 2007

Hi

I have to migrate a SQL2000 database to SQL2005, I tried to use CopyDatabase Wizard (CDW) but invariably stopped all processes (may be for permissions, but I really I don€™t know) so I decided to detach de database, copy files to new server and attach it to SQL2005, it apparently works well, except for the fact that Schemas where created with the name of the users of SQL2000.
Is that correct?
Could it affect the performance or any other thing?
Is correct to do what I did?
Could be another problem in the recently attached database?
(Compatibility, data loss, corrupted structures, collation or something like that)

Unable To Open User Instance Type Database After Attaching And Detaching In SQL Mgmt Studio

Apr 15, 2007

I've been using my DotNetNuke database for weeks on my local PC with SQL Server Express. It attaches as a "User Instance". Basically, I am using all the DotNetNuke defaults. Today I decided to attach the DotNetNuke database in SQL Server Management Studio Express and peek at the tables. I attached the database; then I detached it when I was done. This all went well. But when I tried to open my DotNetNuke web site again I now get a message that it cannot connect. Attaching and detaching the database in SQL Server Management Studio obviously changed something about the database, but I don't know what. My connection string to the database has not changed.



The specific error displayed in the browser is:
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider

In event viewer is this message:

Exception information:

Exception type: SqlException

Exception message: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.

Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.



My connection string is this:

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />



Any suggestions about how I can correct this?

SQL Server Management Studio Express On Vista Home Premium (Error On Attaching And Detaching .mdf)

Sep 5, 2007



I have SQL Express 2005 SP2 installed in my Vista Home Premium. I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express to manage .mdf.

When I click "Add..." to attach .mdf database, I have this prompt error message :

The server principal "My-PCMyName" is not able to access the database "model" under the current security context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916)


I have elevated the rights, "Run as administrator", of my SQL Server Management Studio Express, but still having problem.

I also encounter security error when detaching the existing .mdf :
The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_detach_db', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)


Please advice. Thanks.

Say you have a database that had a process run for 2 days in a transaction until if filled the disk. The error causes a rollback (presumable another 2 days). I want to restore from a backup instead of waiting for the rollback to complete. Please to be telling me how to?

Whats Better?

Jul 20, 2005

<usualDisclaimer>Please forgive me if this is in the wrong group, and if so,what is the right group.</usualDisclaimer>Let me start off by first saying im a newb. Ok, with that out of the way Iam trying really hard and boy have I learned a lot in the last little whilebut I have a question i just can't seem to find a good answer to.Lets say i have a table that simply stores how many times someone has loggedinto a webpage. Is it better to store each login as a new record then countthe records or is it better to simply have one record that updates the totalvalue by incrementing that one field. I have read all manner of articlesand some say one way is better vs. the other but what I can't find is why?If I knew why one way was better than another then I could make and educateddecision and choose the best way that is right for me. Is updating more orless expensive then inserting? Does it matter and is a relevant question?And before anyone comments on my use of all uppercase letters for my tablename I do this so that my table names stand out within the sql serverenterprise manager. In other words system tables are lowercase and mytables are uppercase. People always seem to give me crap for this but neverback it up with a good explanation so far as I can tell its personalpreference? Am I wrong?CREATE TABLE USER_METRICS(-- here i can select all the records and count them up.ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,Email VARCHAR(250));-- Or this?CREATE TABLE USER_METRICS(-- and of course here can i simply retrieve the value of Total_LoginsID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,Email VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL,Total_Logins INT);Regards,Muhd
