Unable To Attach SQL Express Database


Hello,

 I have a SQL Express database created with VWD 2005 and I want to attach it to the server using the SQL Server Management Studio. It is not the first time when I attach a database, but now, I don't know from what reason, it is not working anymore. So, I copy/paste the mdf and ldf files from the website location (the SQL Server Management Studio is not opening the folder C:usersmyuser in Vista Home Premium, don't know why) to a new location and try to attach. The error message is:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express

The file location is OK, what can I do?

 

Thanks.

Unable To Attach Database
A co-worker deleted the log file to a database that was running. At that point the database showed as suspect and stopped running. I was able to detach the database but I am unable to attach the database. I get a msg stating the logfile cannot be found would I like to create a new one. I select yes. I get the following error.

Error 1813: Could not open new database 'dbname'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. Device activation error. The physical file name 'fullpath to the original log file' may be incorrect.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Unable To Attach A Database To The MSDE Instance
Hi I'm creating a database instance with the MSDE 2000 using the Command line(executing a batch File) and once the installation is finished(from the same batch file) I'm trying to attach a database to it. but the database is not attached to the database. but when I go to the sql server and register this new database and run the same command the database is attaching.

can any one suggest how to do this without going to Enterprise manager and registering the database again.

Exception Error 5123 - Unable To Attach Database
Hello.
 
Our GIS group is working with SQL Server 2005 in conjunction with ESRI's ArcGIS software. SQL Server is being used as a test bed until we formally migrate our existing Microsoft Access mdb's over. So, at this time we are conducting various tests and have the freedom to "blow up" our databases.
 
We are currently testing ArcSDE Workgroup edition, which will only work with SQL Server Express (SSE). SSE will let us create spatial joins and relationships, while maintaining data integrity. So one possible workaround was to detach the database from SQL Server 2005 and then attach it to SSE. Unfortunately, we ran into a problem in re-attaching the database back to SQL Server 2005.
 
The exact steps are as follows:


Back up database using back up tool in SQL Server 2005.

Detached database from SQL Server 2005.

Attached database to SQL Server Express (hereafter SSE).

Created a table in database while it was attached to SSE.

Detached database from SSE.

Attempt to attach database to SQL Server 2005 failed

Successfully restored database in SQL Server 2005 using Restore tool.
Step number 6 above failed and generated the following error:

Questions:


Why did I get this error?

Can incorrect or missing permission or ownership settings generate this kind of error?

When should one detach/attach a database?
 
I welcome your assistance and suggestions.

Unable To Attach DataBase In SQL Server 2005 Standard
Now that everyone helped me install SQL Server, it's time to use it... then...

 

I'm trying to work my through the MS Press book ADO.Net Step by Step. After installing the practice files, there is a step to attach the sample database provided. Within the folder which contains the sample files, I'm told to execute an app which I believe was called "Config.exe". This app brings up a form with 3 text-boxes, to collect the Server Name, Database Name, as well as the Database MDF Filename. There are also 2 buttons, "Attach" and "Detach".

 

This book assumes, that SQL Server Express is installed. In the book, the author does mention that if this isn't the case, to adjust the Server Name as necessary.

 

(The following do not include the quotes, but you probably already knew that...)

 

In the form mentioned above, the default Server Name is "(local)SQLEXPRESS",

I changed this to "(local)MSSQLSERVER".

 

The next text-box for Database Name contains: "AdoStepbyStep"

 

The last text-box for Database MDF Filename contains: "c:ADO.NET 2.0 SBSSampleDBsAdoStepbyStep_Data.MDF"

 

The path/spelling of the text in the above is indeed correct. Clicking the "Attach" button, results in the following:

 

 --- ERROR ---

Function: AttachDB

Description: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBMSLPCN]InvalidConnection.

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBMSLPCN]ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).

 

I've never used SQL Server, so please any advice needs to be at a relatively elementary level. I've primarily been a mainframe programmer, so this is new to me.

 

Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxx in advance for any replies!!!

Migrating From Sql2000 MSDE Database To Sql2005 Express - Attach Database Errors
I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.

Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:


Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.


Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them.  But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?


Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?

Help pls?

Attach Network Database Sql Server Express
I am trying to attach a network database to my sql server express

After some reading I "Enabled" tcp/ip, named pipes, and shared memory in sql server confiuration manager.

But when I go to "Attach Database" in Sql Express managemnent studio.  It does not show the network drives much less allow me to attach anything on a network drive. 

What am I missing here?

If I install sql server on the network machine will my local Sql express recognize it?

Error - Express Create Database For Attach
Hi Guys,This is my first post and I hope I'm not going to embarrass myself to much.I am currently writing a pseudo install package for SQL Server Express, it is written in VB.Net 2.0.

I have created an *.exe that fires the SQL Server Express install package silently with command line options, once complete the *.exe copies an *.MDF and an *.LDF to the newly created data directory. Once the data has been copied I fire a "CREATE DATABASE FOR ATTACH" using a SQLClient.SQLCommand to attach my DB. I am using Windows Authentication for SQL Server Express.This all works beautifully when the *.exe is being run from a local hard disk - complete success.When I move the *.exe to a CD it fails . SQL Server is installed correctly, the files are copied to the local hard disk in the correct location. I then fire the "CREATE DATABASE" command - its here I get the error.The error details are:Unable to open the physical file "c:....Exchange.LDF". Operating System error 5:"5(error not found)". Cannot create file "c:....Exchnage.ldf" because it already exists. Change the file path or file name, and retry the operation. Could not open new database 'Exchange'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. File activation failure. The physical file name "c:....Exchange.LDF" may be incorrect.Remember this works perfectly when run from the local hard disk, this only occurs when running from a CD-ROM.Now from the research I have done I believe it may be a permissions error. The setup *.exe is being run from a Administrator account and the SQL Server DB Engine Service Account is System. I'm under the impression that this should provide more than enough permissions.

Thanks for any help you guys may be able to provide...
Matt.

SQL Express On Vista Cannot Attach The Database Says It Is Already Attached
I am supposed to be documenting the SQL Express 2005 SP2 installation and connection to our application on Vista. I have installed and uninstalled the application several times in trying to create the connection and document the process. I thought I was done but now the database will not attach because it thinks the databasse is already attached. The database is not attached. I even uninstalled it again thinking something was left over.

Among the possibilities are that the database we are trying to attach is from SQL Server 2003 on a Server 2003. I tend not to think it is a server issue but have no reason to make that statement.

I tend to think it is a Vista issue because I have encountered and circumvented several. Our applications work fine on the full version of SQL. I can connect my Vista computer to the servers without issue. We have no Vista Servers other than the workstation I am trying to get SQL Express running on.

I am about out of ideas. Any suggestion will be tried at this point. Brian

Attach Database Problem - SQL Server Express 2005.
I m facing a strange phenomenon.
Please refer to below points.
 

environment:
------------------
windows XP sp2
SQL Server 2005 express [log on as 'network service'(by default)]

programming language: VC++(MFC)

There is a sample database in .mdf format which to be attached to SQL Server.
 

Ist case:
------------
I add MASTERDSN (for master databse) to ODBC by calling API SQLConfigDataSource() and then attach the sample DB to SQL Server by calling stored procedure 'sp_attach_db' through VC++ code.
On verification from SQL Server management studio express, the DB attached is in read only mode.

 
II case:
----------
I add MASTERDSN using ODBC data source administrator manually.
Now I add MASTERDSN (again with same name) by calling API SQLConfigDataSource() and then attach the DB to SQL Server by calling stored procedure 'sp_attach_db' through VC++ code.
Now on verification, the DB attached is not in read-only mode.
 

The problem is that why there is difference in behavior in both cases?
I want to get the sample DB attached in read-write mode in Ist case.
 

Hopefully waiting for ur response.
Thanks & Regards

Can't Attach Database Using SQL Server Management Studio Express
I am having a problem Attaching, well actually not being able to see a database when attempting to attach it. I suspect this is more of a security issue rather than a problem with Management Studio, but I can't figure out what is happening.

If I copy a database to Documents and SettingsAll Users... and attempt to attach I can see the file in the selection tree. This also is the case if I copy it to Documents and SettingsDefault User... But if I copy it to Documents and SettingsADynarski... which is the account I normally log into, when I expand the folder in the selection tree, nothing is visible. And the same thing occurs if I copy the file to Documents and SettingsGuest...

I've looked at the security settings and everything appears to be normal. This is on a box with XP Home and SQL Server Express. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks,

Al

How Can I Attach AdventureWorks Database To SQL Server Management Studio Express?
Hi all,

I just downloaded AdventureWorks_Data.mdf, AdventureWorks_Data.ldf, AdventureWorksDW_Data.mdf, and AdventureWorksDW_Data.LDF files to the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1|MSSQLData folder of my Windows XP Pro PC.  I tried to attach the AdventureWorks database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express in the following way: I clicked on SQL Server 2005 Express=>SQL Server Management Studio Express=>Right clicked on Databases=> clicked on "Attach..."=> "Attach Databese" showed up. But I can not type in anything under the MDF File Location, Database Name, Attach As, Owner, Status, Message!!!???  What is wrong in my way of doing the attachment of AdventureWorks database (described above)?  Please help and advise.

Thanks,

Scott Chang

P. S.  I do not have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Walkthrough: Install the AdventureWorks Database (http://msdn2.microsoft/en-us/library/ms31035.aspx) : To confirm your SQL Server data directory (Start=>All Programs, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio Tools, Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt) steps 1 thru 4 can not be applied to my SQL Server Management Studio Express.  I read an SQL Express post dated 19 April 2006 and learned the above-mentioned way to attach the AdventureWorks database in the SQL Server Management Studio Express. But that way does not work for me.

Can't Attach SQL Server 05 Database To Visual Studio 05 Project Because VS Is Asking For SQL Express Components
We recently started the process of upgrading our development platform to Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 on our servers and SQL Devloper 2005 on our desktops. Yesterday I attempted to attach a SQL database I built to a test website project I have been building in VS. When I clicked the button to create the connection, I got this....
 
"Connections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251"
 
even though I can clearly see the reference to my database in the server explorer tab in VS. I initially installed the Express version that came with Visual Studio, but uninstalled it after I kept getting errors saying I couldn't create remote connections, even when I was only trying to connect to an instance I set up on my local workstation. I went back to SQL Server Developer 2005, because it worked in the past, and I was able to create and connect to my databases in my other projects.
 
Can someone tell me what is causing this issue? It's become a showstopper, because I can't finish my project, and I'm not thrilled with the idea of my developers having this problem when we roll Visual Studio out.
 
Thanks in advance....

SQL Server Express: Restore, Backup And Attach Do Not Work Anymore &&amp; Database Locations Fault
Hello there,

I've some really big problems with SQL Server 2005 Express. I Recently, I had 2 instances on my machine, one was a SQL Server 2000 Developer and the other a 2005 Express Version. The 2000 version was not necessary anymore, so I unstalled it, since then, the Express version keeps having probems.

Under the Server Properties -> Database settings -> Database Locations I've changed the path to D:sqldatamssql, but now, the programm always takes the "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" to store and load the databases, no matter what I do.

And there are more problems see here:

Restoring does not work=======================
I wanted to restore a database called "fw40_admin" from a backup file (.bak), but that didn't work at all, it always says this as an error:

"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:sqldatamssqlfw40_admin.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)"

But as soon as I type in the installation path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" inside the "Restore As" under "Options", it works.

Why does the backup only work in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData", BUT the database locations under the server properties is indicated with "D:sqldatamssql"????


Attaching does not work=======================
Attaching an existing database does not work either. Most databases (mdf) are located on the path D:sqldatamssql, but as soon as I press

Attach Databases -> Add

The dialog window appears with the "D:sqldatamssql" path, but it is unable to find any *.mdfs altough THERE ARE .mdfs in this directory. But Express can find databases in the selected installation: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData".
Why can't Express see the directory on the D: partition???


What is wrong? Here? Can anybody help me?

SQL Server Management Studio Express: Object Explorer - How To Re-attach The Content Of User-defined Database
Hi all,

 

I just found that the content of my Database "ssmsExpressDB" is gone, but the name "ssmsExpressDB" remains in the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express.  If I delected the name "ssmsExpressDB" and executed the following .sql:

Can Multiple Workstations Running SQL 2005 Server Express Attach To The Same Database Files On A Shared Network Location?
Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share?  I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine.  Is this possible with SQL2005Express?  I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server.  Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?

Unable To Attach To Devenv.exe To Debug
Before I start peppering this forum with questions I'll start with one that might help me figure out others...

I'm trying to debug a custom component I'm developing.  All the texts I've read state that the first thing I should do is attach to the devenv.exe process.  When I choose this, the window that lists the available processes I can attach to does not contain devenv.exe.

Is this a security issue?  Any other ideas?  I'm an administrator on the box.  Most of my career's been spent in UNIX environments, so perhaps I'm missing something basic I'm unaware of.

Thanks.

Unable To Open SQL Server Express Database
Hello,
I have a SQL Express database in a C# project, which I use for unit tests.  However, I am getting the "unable to open SQL Express database", access is denied.  I used to be able to do use it fine.
I also used to attach it to the SQL Server engine, but now I'm getting access denied there as well.  I ensured that it isn't currently attached...  at least, I cannot see it, but maybe its still attached somehow?
I don't know what the problem is... running out of ideas.

SQL Server Integration Services

SQL Server Reporting Services - but no direct mention of SQL Express or database engine, if that makes a difference

Any help appreciated.  Thank you.

3/6/2006 SOLVED

Fixed the problem by reinstalling SQLExpress via the VS 2005 disk rather than the Windows->AddPrograms feature that I had used earlier.

Error: Unable To Start T-sql Debugging. Could Not Attach To Sql Server Process
 Hi,
Sorry for the long post but I tried to be thorough.
Recently an issue was discussed on the .NET Framework inside SQL Server Forum of that I have when trying to debug a SQL server project in Visual Basic. Here are the steps that I have done in order to resolve the error is get (Unable to start T-SQL Debugging. Could not attach to SQL Server process on ....  ) :
I have created a SQL Server project using Visual Basic. It only have one file: test.sql that has only a select statement. This is the standard template from Visual Studio 2005. I attached a valid connection to SQL server 2005 on the server. The workstation is named Scully and the server is named Mulder.
I can ping the server and connect to SQL server using TOAD for SQL Server. Also when I explore the connection in Visual Studio using Server explorer, I see all objects that are there. I have select a SQL server authentification method with €˜sa€™ and a valid password.
So far, I have made sure that msvsmon is running on the server. I also have followed the instructions for setting DCOM permissions as mentioned on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s7ahaxtd.aspx but they doesn€™t seem to apply to what I see when running dcomcnfg.
The workstation is Windows XP SP2 and the server is Windows 2003 Enterprise. The ports are open on XP as I first tried to debug the project. Visual Studio made sure of it. There is no firewall protecting the server. I cal remote access it using Remote Desktop.
The connection has the Allow SQL/CLR debugging option checked. I also have created an Hello World application using Visual Basic and I€™ve been able to debug it locally.
Follow up: I have set every part of the DCOM options open. There isn't even an error message in the event viewer. It's like the server isn't there at all....
Do you have any ideas ?
Thanks !

Error Message: Unable To Start T-SQL Debugging. Could Not Attach To SQL Server Process On 'Server1'
 
I've installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional evaluation edition on both my desktop & on the server to try out the Debugger to be used with my Stored procedures

I got this error message every time i try to 'Step into Stored Procedure' from my desktop to connect to the stored procedure which resides on the Server.

Error message: Unable to Start T-SQL Debugging. Could not attach to SQL Server Process on 'Server1'.The RPC server is unavailable

The 'Step into Stored Procedure' works though if I open the stored procedure directly on the server.

Both my PC and Server has been installed with Remote Debugger and my windows login has been assigned permission to debug on the debugger that resides on the Server and has sysadmin server role on SQL 2005 both on PC and Server.

Can someone tell me what i miss out to debug Stored procedure in the SQL Server 2005 on the Server from my PC?
 
Thanks in advance.

Attach Db To Sql 2005 Express Edition
My dog ate my sql2000 installation disk! After a recent xp installation I remembered that.
Now I'm in a hurry to get up and running with SQL again. I've installed SQL server 2005 express, but I can't attach any databases, or really do anything for that matter. I have a copy of SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition but that won't install on my development machine, Xp Sp2. Which way should I go, install SQL 2005 enterprise on a Win 2003 server or can I download something to administer the express version?
 As always thanks for any and all replies!

Unable To Open A SQL Express DB Created In Visual Basic Express
When I start Management Studio I get the following message and a suggestion to change a setting:
(I can choose to continue and the system databases appear, but the DB I created does not.) 
 "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. Cannot create a stable subkey under a volitile parent key."
 
 ************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Unable To Re-install SQL Server 2005 Express And Also SQL Express Toolkit
Hi,
 

I had some issues on my server and had to uninstall .Net Framework 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, and SQL Express Toolkit. I installed SQL Server 2005 Express and it seemed to be ok.
 

Then my problems all started when I tried to install SQL Express Toolkit because I needed to install DTS Wizard again, and it errors out and wouldn't let me install it. So I uninstalled everything that's listed above again.
 

I then tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express again, and on the second from last screen, while its listing all the components and configuring them, I get the following error as it's configuring the last component... which was the SQL Server Database Services.
 

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
-----------------------------------------------------------
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
 
 
I tried to re-install the SQL Server Express another 7 times wth no luck.
 

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
 

Thanks,
Bill

Can I Attach To My 2005 Express DB Using The 2005 Mgt Studio (NOT EXPRESS) Client?
I have a 2005 Express DB I wish to attach to using the 2005 Mgt Studio Client (Not the express version, but the full blown 2005 Mgt Studio Client from the SQL 2005 Standard Edition Install disk). Can this be done, or can I only use the 2005 Mgt Studio Express Edition Client?

 

Thanks in advance.

NEWBIE.. SQL EXPRESS Attach During VB.NET Windows Application Install - Oneclick
Here's what I'm going for:

I have an 05 VB.NET windows application that will be used as a smart client for our folks in the field. The windows application includes 05 SQL Server Express. I have included in the Data Sources of my project and attached file going through the wizard Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SqlClient) ='s  (myfile.mdf) and then selected all tables, views, stored procedures, and functions... the corresponding myfileDataSet.xsd with the myfile.mdf are now located in the root of the project. I now recompile the project without error and go to the properties section Publish tab... select the Application Files button and myfile.mdf Publish Status is set to Include and the Download Group set to Requried. With this in place I right click on the myfile.mdf from the Soultion Explorer and under the properties section have set the build action to compile and use the copy always setting for the Copy to Output Directory.

My app.config looks like this:

<configSections>
        <sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,   PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
            <section name="myfile.My.MySettings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
        </sectionGroup>
    </configSections>
 <connectionStrings>
  <add name="myfile.My.MySettings.ffgscrmConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|myfile.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
   providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
 </connectionStrings>

After the publish is completed on the client machine... install for WIndows Installer 3.1, SQL Server Express, and the Windows Application contains no data but everything else works fine.

My problem is that I need to attach the myfile.mdf to the new SQL Server Express instance on the client machine during the installation process so that when the application fires it will be pointed to the above location on the client.

Anyone have any ideas... scripts... includes for an ApplicationEvents.vb, source code on how to do this correctly?

Kind regards,

BillB
