Error 4064, Cannot Open User Default Database

Oct 17, 2001

I am experiencing some login problems.

When I connect to SQL Server 2000 using SQL Server authentication I get error message error 4064, cannot open user default database. I can connect however if I use Windows Authentication.
The problem started when I did the ffg.
-backup sql db1
-restore db1 to another name (db2)
-drop db1
-use sp_detach
-use sp_attach to attach db2 as db1 (rename database)

When I connect in Query Analyzer via SQL Authentication I get the error, however via any other method it works fine.

Regards
Suhen

SQL Express: Cannot Open User Default Database (error 4064)

Aug 8, 2006

I've tried everything I've read that seemed applicable but still have a problem with the same error message, cannot open user default database.

This started detaching the database.

I'm using this connection string:

connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;GC_CashBook.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"

It's a WinForms application.

When I run in debug mode, I connect fine. I can do anything in the db in VisualStudio 2005.

Then I open the SQL Management Studio, connect to Sql Express, try to open the same database and it can't open it.

BUT...

If I stop running the VisualStudio application (I can leave VS open, but not run the app I'm developing),

and reopen SQL Management Studio, connect to Sql Express and open the same db, I can do anything.

It's not just VS and SQL either.

If I open CodeSmith and load a template I use that access the db, I can run my templates fine as long as I'm not running the application in VS or have the db open in SQL Express.

In other words, I can have one connection at a time only on this sql express db.

Before I detached it, I could have multiple connections at the same time.

I checked the properties in sql express and it says I can have multiple (4 is specified) connections at a time;

Allow remote access is also checked.

Arrow/Rick is db owner, the default database is Master.

I don't know any other information to provide.

DId I miss something? How can I get multiple connections working again on this?

Any help would be appreciated!

Error: Cannot Open User Default Database

Aug 13, 2006

I work with Microsoft visual studio 2005.
i get data from a table by ADO.NET :

SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(strConnectionString);
sqlConn.Open();
.....

it works fine.

but when i open the SQL Server 2005 express edition and connect to the server (inside the same computer) and run the code again ,the Open() function fails with the exception :

Cannot open user default database. Login failed.

disconnecting the server doesn't help and even closing the SQL Server 2005 application doesn't help.
Only restarting the computer enables the Open() command to work again.

Why ?

Cannot Open User Default Database. Login Failed. (only When IDE Is Open)

Sep 7, 2007

I get the below error only when my IDE open. It connects well when it is found closed.
[SqlException (0x80131904): Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'JPASPNET'.]
I could solve this by giving the logged in windows user to impersonate under IIS window > WEBSITE > ASP.NET tab > EDIT CONFIG > APPLICATION tab
But I wish someone could give me the proper solution.
I almost tried all from giving ASPNET user as a administrator to configuring the same in Express management tool.
Environment: XP pro, VWD and SQL Express

Second User Trying To Connect Generates: Cannot Open User Default Database. Login Failed.

Apr 25, 2007

Hi, I'm new to SQL Express 2005.
I found information regarding : "Cannot open user default database. Login failed."on this forum but I think that in my case it's a bit different issue.
I have a website (ASP.NET 2.0) accessing DB, in the mean time Windows Service tries to update some data in the same DB (Service runs as NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM). The second connection is rejected: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user ....".
Problem occurs only when both: service and website are running at the same time. So service and website are running without problems when they are connecting DB exclusively.
My connection string is:
"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|spider-lab.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"

I would be grateful if you can help me

Cannot Open User Default Database. User Login Failed.

Jan 15, 2004

Hi,

I'm sorry if this is simple, I'm no DBA but have been tasked with solving this problem...

We have a website that connects via ODBC to SQL Server (2k sp1) and at the moment I am getting back about every other time:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.

So this is NOT happening every single time. Now I have seen Microsoft KB - 307864 and I can see that none of the databases are marked as suspect, the database I am trying to connect to does exist and is attached and, I have run the command to switch the database to multi-user mode.

The probable cause of this problem is that a while ago we had a hard-drive failure and I was forced to reattach some old datafiles (mdf,ldf) as the database. This seemed ok and I can view data etc in enterprise manager no problem.

I have checked for orphaned users and the user I am logging in with from the webpage is not listed.

So does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening, and more frustratingly for me, why is it only happening some of the time.

Thanks for your help, appreciated.

James.

Cannot Open User Default Database. Login Failed.

Jun 30, 2006

Hi,
I'm getting this error ever since I attached my VWD Express database to SQL Server Express. I detached the database after using it and closed SQL Server but as soon as I tried to run my application again in VWD I got...
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'xxxxxxxASPNET'.
I have tried attaching and detaching the database again in SQL Server with the 'Close Connections' check box ticked but still no joy. I have checked out all other posts on this subject but can't seem to find an answer that works for me.
Does SQL Server Express do something to users / permissions when attaching databases? It's all way above my head!
My connection string is as follows...
<add name="DatabaseConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

Cannot Open User Default Database, Login Fails

Aug 13, 2006

hi:
I got the problem, which lots of people might encounter before.

In my case, I use login control and sqlexpress to build a login page.
when password & user name were entered. It gave me:
"Cannot open user default database, login fails"

The solution given by msdn is:
SQL Server 2005You can use the sqlcmd utility to change the default database in SQL Server 2005. To do this, follow these steps: 1.Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER. 2.Use one of the following methods, depending on the kind of authentication that the SQL Server login uses: €¢If
the SQL Server login uses Microsoft Windows authentication to connect
to the instance, type the following at the command prompt, and then
press ENTER:sqlcmd €“E -S InstanceName €“d master€¢If
the SQL Server login uses SQL Server authentication to connect to the
instance, type the following at the command prompt, and then press
ENTER: sqlcmd -S InstanceName -d master -U SQLLogin -P PasswordNote InstanceName is a placeholder for the name of the SQL Server 2005 instance to which you are connecting. SQLLogin is a placeholder for the SQL Server login whose default database has been dropped. Password is a placeholder for the SQL Server login password.3.At the sqlcmd prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER: ALTER LOGIN SQLLogin WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = AvailDBNameNote AvailDBName is a placeholder for the name of the existing database that can be accessed by the SQL Server login in the instance.4.At the sqlcmd prompt, type GO, and then press ENTER.

I wonder what are InstanceName, SQLLogin & AvailDBName. It would be nice if someone can give me a specific example, since I am not sure how to type them in a command line. :)

Cannot Open User Default Database. Login Failed.

Feb 18, 2008

Hello,

I'm using Visual C# 2008 Express to connect to the Northwind database in SQL Server 2005 Express. My Visual C# project which worked yesterday now yields an exception on build.

The error message is:

Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'Plesva-PCPlesva'.

The connection string is:

Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataNorthwnd.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

In SQL Server Management Studio Express, I can see that the default database for this Login is master. In the master database, the user mapped to this Login is 'Plesva-PCPlesva'. The database role membership for this Login in master is 'public'.

Does this have something to do with user instances? I'm not familiar with that topic, but have seen a few posts here and elsewhere that alluded to it. I couldn't make heads or tails of what they were talking about.

Thank you.

Cannot Open User Default Database. Login Failed.

Apr 28, 2007

Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user '[machine name]ASPNET'.I'm working in VS 2005 with a starter kit. I close VS and open an MDF file in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio to modify a table. I attach the file, change a data type, then detach the file. When I go back to VS and try to run the program, I get this error. Everything runs normally before I bring the file into Management Studio. It is not a permissions issue. Does SQL Server put some kind of lock on the file? This must be a fairly common problem. A developer will sometimes want to modify an .mdf file. How does he do that and then run his program? Thank you for any suggestions I can try.

Cannot Open User Default Database. Login Failed.

Jan 5, 2007



Hi,

I got this application system having SQLExpress as database (ABCSystem.mdf). I'm connecting to the database thru connection string specifying database path in App.config.

At the same time, I got two paths for the mdf files. The first one is the path for my database project while the second one is the path to conduct testing. (This means that I got identical ABCSystem.mdf in two paths)

1) C:Program FilesCompany ABCABCDatabaseProject

2) C:Program FilesCompany ABC LimitedABCSystemDatabase

In my development machine, I can run my application where database path is testing path (number 2).

When I tried to copy the ABCSystem.mdf and ABCSystem_log.LDF and my application program files to another PC to test, I got the subject error message. (note that I copy program files under directory "C:Program FilesCompany ABC LimitedABCSystem" and mdf files under "C:Program FilesCompany ABC LimitedABCSystemDatabase")

I try to edit path from database testing path to database project path in app.config, run the application, and notice that it is running OK.

What seems to cause the problem? Coz I need the database in the testing path which is "C:Program FilesCompany ABC LimitedABCSystemDatabase" AND NOT "C:Program FilesCompany ABCABCDatabaseProject".

Thanks alot for your kind attention.

Strange Error On Linked Server - Cannot Open Default Database

Apr 16, 2007

Hi,We have 2 servers. Server1 is a 2000 box, with SP3 (yes I know it isnot up to date). Server2 is a 2005 box, SP2.I set up Server1 (2000) to have a linked server to Server2 (2005). Thereason I did this is because we are using a stored procedure onServer2 to send mail, as we have found that using mail on 2000 doesn'talways work as advertised.When I set up the linked server on the 2000 box, for security I justset it up to use a SQL Server user on the 2005 box. The SQL Serveruser on the 2005 box has permissions to run the stored procedure forsending mail.Here's the weird thing though. When calling the stored procedure onthe 2005 box from the 2000 box, sometimes we get an error that "Thedefault database cannot be opened", and the query does not run on the2005 box. However, it only happens *sometimes*. Other times, the queryruns fine.Since the problem seeemed to be with the default database, I changedthe SQL Server user on 2005 default database to the SAME database thatcontains the stored procedure.However, I just don't understand why it's even TRYING to open thedefault database, since when we called the linked server we are doingso as, and it's referencing the default database in the name:EXEC Server2.DefaultDatabase.dbo.StoredProcedureNameHowever, after changing the user's default database to"DefaultDatabase" as shown above, the query runs fine.Why are we having this problem? That is, if I change the defaultdatabase to something other than "DefaultDatabase", then the querydoesn't run, even though the database name is referenced in the abovequery??Obviously, this is not desireable, because that means we can only runqueries that are in "DefaultDatabase", which may not always be thecase.Thanks much

SqlException (0x80131904): Cannot Open User Default Database. Login Failed. Login Failed For User 'xxxASPNET'

Jun 17, 2007

Hey Microsoft: this affects development that will eventually sell a lot of seats on SharePoint Server 2007. If you guys and gals can't straighten out this mess, you can't expect custom solutions with custom web parts. So pay attention for your own good. Yes, SPS 2007 is what this is all about. I've created simpe web parts and deployed them, same VS 2005, but I need local development and debugging for more complex stuff. I'm really disappointed that you have no solution for this problem.



I've seen other posts on this, but the result seems to be the same: if you fix it, it's by accident, not by design.



1. I created a blank ASP.NET web site

2. I added a web part manager

3. I added a web part zone



I get the error described above. I have no idea why SQL Server settings are so screwed up.



I've tried all the stuff in the other posts - security settings, command line installation, etc. None of those worked.



The default template(s) don't copy anything into App_Data, nor create an empty folder. I don't know why that is. I have other web sites working just fine, but they use remote SQL databases, or local ones I created, and didn't need profile management (no forms authentication, no web parts, no web zones).



I've also started out with a local database, using SQL Authentication, later moving it to a remote server, and never had any problems. The SQL Server developer edition and Express seem to work just fine. I can also debug stored procs when the .mdf is in App_Data. So the problem isn't one of connectivity.



What would cause the default screw-up? This would seem to point from all directions to a problem with Visual Studio (2005)? The installation is defalt - perhaps some extras included (copy local), but nothing unusual. AJAX for ASP.net is installed, but not used in the above "default web site" trial. Likewise Syncfusion's tools, which work fine on other developer workstations at this same location, all of which are from the same image (purchased at the same time & imaged). That web parts work on other boxes, running all the same management tools (anti-virus, remote sys admin/sms etc.) makes none of those suspect.



I think Microsoft needs to have a clean problem solution and publish it. SP1 certainly doesn't fix it. What's worse is the stupid, lame error message. "I can't open the default database". Well, what did you try? What do you think the default is? What settings are you using? Why is there no debugging information other than the usual worthless trace information showing it's all deep within the ProviderBase and SqlClient namespace code? How is that supposed to be helpful?



If anyone has anything solid, not guesses, I'd like to know.

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.

--Steve

Ok so I'm using the Management Studio Express and was able to log in and get into the database server, but I had to click the "options>>" button and change database I wanted to connect to from <<default>> to my database on the server or else I get the "cannot open user database, login failed" error message.Then I right click my database and it gives me the "Cannot open user database.  Login failed" error message, even though I already connected to the database to login during the connect screen. Also I'm able to interact with the database using SQL QUERIES in the Management Studio, like adding new tables with it, but if I right click the database and click "add table" I get that error.What gives?  I know I have permission since I was able to log on, and modify the database using SQL queries but if use the GUI I can't use it.  I can't even right-click select "properties" without getting that error. The reason I want to use the GUI is because I want to right click and use the backup feature of the database.My guess is that Management Studio continues to point to the default database(which gives me that message) after I already logged in, so I have no idea how to change the default database that management studio points to, to the one I do have permission to use. Thanks in advance.

SQL Express - Cannot Open Default Database

Jul 5, 2007

Hi,

I'm developing a windows forms app with a local database to be deployed on a couple of users machines. To aid deployment I'm using 'user instance' with a connection string of:



Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|gma.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;Connection Timeout=15;



I've started with a backup function based on the blog 'Backup and Restore with User Instance' linked to from this forum. Problem is I always get the error message 'Cannot open user default database. Login failed for user xxx'. This happens when I run in debugger or just run the exe directly.



Any help appreciated.

Dave
