Why Cannot Sql Server Open The File
Dec 1, 2006
I created a comma-seperated text file by exporting an Access table. I tried to bulk insert into into a SQL Server table using the following code:
BULK INSERT databasename.dbo.tablename FROM 'C:commaseparatedfilename.txt'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ';',
ROWTERMINATOR = '
',
FIRSTROW=2)
but it returns the following error:
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "C:commaseparatedfilename.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(error not found).

I have a report that returns a field with the location of a .csv file on the network. The value of the field looks like this:
\ServerNamedatafile.csv
I need to let the user click a link to open the file. Simply making the Jump To Url under navigation the field value doesn't work; it's not clickable. I've tried a javascript new window command, but I'm no good at javascript.
All my google results turn up unrelated items because I'm searching "ssrs open file" or "ssrs open file in windows explorer".
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Guys, how many connections does sql 2005 express allow to .mdf file. I stumpled on info on a microsoft site (actually a forum post on msdn) that sql server express allows only a single connection to an .mdf file.
Iam intrested in this because i developed reporting services reports in BIS and iam having problems. If i run a report from report manager, i have to wait for close to 20 minutes before i can be able to run my asp.net application agian. Else if i insert data or retrieve data from my asp.net application, then i have to wait again for 20 minutes or more before i can be able to run my reports else i will get an error that a connection can not be made to the database or that the database is being used by another process.
So in all cases, i have to wait for 20--30 minutes before a connection can be made to the .mdf file. i.e after running a report or after inserting or retrieving data from the database through my asp.net application.
Iam using sql sever 2005 express with advanced services and visual web developer on windows server 2003.
Any ideas or help.

I have a SQL Server 2005 database file (a .mdf file) that I am trying to open in SQL Server Management Studio so I can add a field to a table, but I am unable to open the file. I can't say that I really understand how SQL Server handles these databases. I especially don't understand the "attaching" and "detaching" operations.
I am working in VB.Net 2008 now, but my background is with VB6 using the JET engine. It was just so straightforward using the JET engine, but seems so much more complicated with SQL Server. I am trying to use .mdf files the same way I used .mdb files. I want my application to find the database file, "attach to it", and let me manipulate it.
At one time I was able to open my database in Sql Server Management Studio and edit the design of the database. The application still works but I am no longer able to modify the database because I cannot attach to it in Management Studio.
Here is a big clue: the files are no longer in the special folder anymore, which is c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA. I might have deleted the files, stupidly, thinking they were redundant. I still have the .mdf file (and the _log.ldf file) on my hard drive and the application can still open it, but when I try to use Management Studio to attach to the .mdf file, I get this error:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details.
here are the details:
Unable to open the physical file "c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAHEALSExamsSQL.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Indeed the file is not there, but why is Mgmt Studio looking there? Why doesn't it just open the file where it is? What can I do to get it back? I even copied the files to c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA? I get the same error.
Here is another clue: In Management Studio, when I right-click Databases, and chose Attach, it brings up a dialog. There I click "Add" to get another dialog in which I will select a database, but before the dialog appears I get this error:
Locate Database Files - KURANT-WIN7SQLEXPRESS
C:UsersJason KurantDesktop
Cannot access the specified path or file on the server. Verify that you have the necessary security privileges and that the path or file exists.
If you know that the service account can access a specific file, type in the full path for the file in the File Name control in the Locate dialog box.

Hi guys,
I recently installed Office Accounting 2007 Professional on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SQL Server 2005 (installed on an existing instance) and updated Office Accounting with service pack 1. However, after I have created the company file, other users were unable to open it. The error message was "The company could not be opened. Please ensure the SQL Server exists, the service is running and access has been granted."
Below are some of the stuff I had done, but still cannot solve the problem:
- Under "Manage users and roles", I granted full control to all users in the AD.
- Made the company.sbc as well as the multiuser.sbc file available to everyone on the server's shared drive.
- Granted full control to all users in the AD for the above mentioned shared drive.
- Copied the company.sbc and multiuser.sbc files onto all client computers.
- Ensured that SQL Server is running.
- Checked the security options for the linked database to ensure all users have the necessary rights.
- Enabled TCP/IP and named pipes as well as the port 5356 and have restarted the services.
- Added port 5356 as an exception in Windows firewall on all client computers.
- I even switched off Windows Firewall on the server just to eliminate this possibility!
- Tried everything listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910012
I still get that error message on all client computers!!! What else have I left out? God bless me...

It works fine and I see the system tables and can make my own tables.
But how do I open a standalone MDF file with it? Or maybe it is a restriction ?
I am trying to get to the database for my personal start kit.

I recently installed standalone version of SQL 2014 Standard on my work computer. I used Access before but I want to use a SQL server instead.
We have a shared drive that a file gets deposited every day at midnight. I want to be able to get this file and import it to the server (its basically a list of names).
Here what I have done so far:
I created the database
Created the file and successfully imported data into it using the Import Data feature.
I saved the SSIS package
Scheduled an Agent Job for this package to run at certain time,daily
At first the jobs would fail with a Access is Denied. I added a user under Credentials with my network account ( have admin rights on the work computer).Also added a Proxy for the Credential user I made.
Jobs fail with a “Cannot open data file” error. I tried changing things here and there, but I can’t get it to work.

Hi,
I created a SSIS package which will generate an output file and place it on a remote fileshare location which will look something like this
\RemoteServerNameRemoteFilePath
The package is executing fine when I am executing it through BIDS or through execute package utility and writing the output file to remote file share location.
I created a SQL job for the package and ran the Job. Then, its throwing an error saying
Executed as user: DomainUser. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 9.00.3042.00 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved.

DomainUser have all the permissions on the remote file share location.
SQL server agent is running with the log-on account DomainUser(same as the above).
Could anyone help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Sriram.

Here's a challenge that is killing me:I've got 2 web servers and a SQL Server and about 5,000 'users' whostay connected to the site all day. I have a page that is supposed tobe 'real-time', so to do this, I have a 1px frame that refreshes every15 seconds (so the other frame doesn't have to reload all the time--thetop only reloads when a new record or a changed record hits the db).The real time data can be filtered in about 8 different ways.Currently, I have each user querying a table that contains 1 record,including the max ID and the most current insert/update posting date.The browser contains a cookie with that date. When the browser receivesnotification that there is some new info on the server, it refreshesthe top page and reloads the data. This is happening for all users. So,I thought to eliminate the 5,000 users running the same (or closevariations) of the same query each time a records is inserted/updated,that I would generate an XML file with the current day's data.In a dev environment this works 'ok'. I'm doing this by running anActiveX job on the SQL Server that calls a stored proc (FOR XML) andwrites the content to a file. Then from the web servers, I'm queryingthis file for the new timestamp and then if newer than the cookie,grabbing the XML (using the httprequest in the ASP XMLDOM) and usingXSLT to transform the data instead of parameterizing the queries.Theoretically I love this solution. Problems happen in a LIVEenvironment where either the file is being written to or the job isn'table to run. When 2 records are trying to be written within the samesecond, the file isn't being written (or maybe that the http requestingthe XML is keeping the file locked?)....anyway...this is a HUGE problethat I can't seem to solve. Once we roll to .NET I think storing thedataset in cache and updating cache (still don't know how I'll triggerthat without each user checking the db)....Long winded, sorry...help?

I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
Any way I can recover it?
Thanks.

Unable to open the physical mdf file or log file because it is being used by another process
I am trying to write a Windows Application using ASP.NET 2.0, C#2005 EXPRESS, and SQL 2005 EXPRESS.
I had followed the introductory video to create a connection to the Database using Windows Authentication, and use the wizard to create a dataset and checking all the tables in the database.
After that I dragged a table from the data source created from the above process. The Details Grid so created is able to perform update, delete and addition of records.
But when I went back to the database at my PC I wasnt able to connect to the database. And if I opened the database first and then load the windows application and perform some database operations and went back to the physical database I wasnt able to open the tables in the database.
The error message is that the physical database connection cannot open the .mdf file or log file because another process is using the database. I guess it refers to the Windows Application.
Is this normal? Will it have any implications after the application is deployed? I suppose that there isnt a scenario where a Windows application and a physical process will access the database at the same time.
Will appreciate some feedback and advice on this scenario and whether it is a problem.
Thanks and regards

I want to start by saying I know virtually nothing about SQL Server.
I work for a website and have an old database of ours. It was exported in Sql Server 2008. It has 3 files an mdf file, a secondary data file, and a transaction log file.
When I try to attach I get an error, and the error is 5173 stating "One or more files do not match the primary file or the database." I have looked at the top 20 results for this error in a Google search and have found nothing. I just want to get in and look at some of the data, run a few basic queries.

Hi All
On the Sql Peformance Monitor, I have scheduled a log to give me memory and perfomance of my server and I store the results in .csv file every hour and it works perfect.
Here comes the problem when I make a DTS to take data from .csv to Sql, my problem is, I get this error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". Basically it tells me that I have to close the file before I can run my DTS.
I dont want close this file manually and run my DTS afterwards, I want my DTS to do this automatically since I won't have access to that server when I am finished as I am going off from the clients premises when I am finished

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
We now tried to double-click the .sdf file in PDA to open in QA3 but we get error.:
Error: 0x80004005 E_FAIL
Native Error (0)
Description: Interface defining error: IID_IDBInitialize
Param. 0:0
Param. 1:0
Param. 2:0
Param. 3:
Param. 4:
Param. 5:
What could be the issue?
Because of this, we unable to run the app since in our login form, this database is not available and hence we cannot proceed.
Regards,
Vilas

I am fairly new to ASP.NET and MSSQL but when I run my website with memberships and roles everything seems to work perfectly!! NO PROBLEMS!! However when I try to go and actually open the ASPNETDB.MDF database file that was automatically created by VB when I added a login and sign up panel I get this Error Message
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsoxMy DocumentsMy Webs nsApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I don't really know why I can't open this file. I have someone who is going to help with some extra database work but asked if I could open this database so he could see the structure of it. I have a copy of the website as backup in another folder on my computer but even removing that backup does nothing in helping open the original. THANKS PLEASE HELP!

Has anyone tried Open File Manager to backup SQL 7? I'm in the middle of an evaluation (and all is going well), so I wanted to get other's opinions before I purchase.
I tried their 5.x product a year ago, and it didn't work. But V6 has been just what they toted (it worked, no questions asked).
