An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File C:... Failed

Oct 9, 2006

Hi,

I recently installed VS Web Developer Express Ediition and SQL Server Express and I'm doing the How To tutorials and I can't finish the basic data access walkthrough:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/tw738475.aspx

Because I get an error like this (link for complete error below):

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData est.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

When I am setting up the data source for the gridview tool, everything works fine and the test query works fine, but then when I try to actually test the output in the browser with Cntrl+F5 I get this error.

I have been trying for 48 hours to find a solution on my own. I have googled, I have searched everything and I just am at a point where I think I need to ask someone for help.



Please help.

An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File Failed

Jan 23, 2006

Hi
I have a problem when I want to open a page with the database record. This page is created in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. When I try to open a page I get the following error message even though the connection between the database is ok:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:InetpubwwwrootmembershipApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

I have a computer with Windows XP Professional running IIS 5.1 and ASP.NET 2.0. Also I have SQL Express on my machine. Does any one know how to resolve it.Thanks

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.

Sep 2, 2007

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

An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File...failed. A Database With The Same Name Exists, Or Specified File Cannot Be

Mar 24, 2006

I know allot of folks are having this problem and I tried lots of things but nothing works. I understand the problem is coping the SQL Express on another server is the problem - I just not sure what to do?

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42

This is the last statement on the Stack Trace:

SqlException (0x80131904): An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file e:wwwdata81d0493fwwwApp_DataTestDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.]
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) +735091

I checked my server forum and they said I had to name a database:
Example: Database=(unique name);

But this didn't work either.

I just tried a simple web project that has only one database and one table in SQL Express with one sqldatasource and one datagrid. It works fine on my pc but when I use the copy function in Visio Studio 2005 Pro - I can't run the site on the remote server: www.myjewelrydirect.com

I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:

<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TestDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

With all the comments in these forums - this must be a bug.

I have been working on this problem for over 2 weeks - HELP!

RESOLVED RESOLVED An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File &&<file String&&> Failed &&>&&>&&> But ONLY After SSE Reinstall

Sep 16, 2007

RESOLVED RESOLVED RESOLVED

DOH! When I rebuilt the OS, I changed the data partition ID's, and didn't remember to change them in the connetion strings

Not great, but better than continuing to bang head against wall.

Would like to say to MS appreciators that the VS2005 reinstall actually went quite well, considering.

===========================================================================





I built an app, works fine. Had the development environment working fine (VS2005 (SP0) and SQL Server Express). It had been stable for months, no problem.


Then I had to reinstall XP Pro...(finally threw too many conflicting programs into it, I guess...)


I managed to get VS2005 reinstalled ok. However, when I opened and compiled my existing app in VS2005, using Cassini, I got the dreaded error:

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file <file string> failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

I also get this error for the compiled copy of the app on the same machine, running on IIS. (Where it also previously worked fine).


The Connection strings are all of the form

connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=(specific file string).MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"


I appreciate that there are zillions of posts on this issue. I'm hoping that someone might know why this should happen in this particular case.


The thing that's different about this case is that the app was working fine; I have the app deployed on a demo machine and also on a remote server as well as on the development machine.


The only thing that changed is that there was this fresh install of SQL Server Express.


I tried using >> sp_configure user instances enabled','1';RECONFIGURE <<< in SSMSEE, which took, but didn't help.


So something is different in SSE. Since the app is stable everywhere else, I REALLY don't want to go through and adjust the connection strings...MUCH better to figure out what SSE needs to be happy with the existing connection strings...as it was before.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT----TRIED SOME THINGS:




Changed folder and file permissions to allow ASPNET full access to the .mdf's and log files (though never had to do this before on the development machine.) No change...

Can see the table contents within the .mdf through SSMSE, and also through Server Explorer in VS2005.

So because the problem happens with both IIS and Cassini, I'm assuming it's got to be an issue between ASPNET and SSE.

EDIT --- TRIED SOME MORE THINGS:

I dimly remember that when I had this problem before, it was that the error message was too "dumb". It wasn't my file that had the permissions problems, it was that the SSE System Databases had to have permissions with respect to ASPNET.

I tried to set that up but I'm a complete newb on this area, so I don't know if I did it right. In SSMSE I created a Login for MyComputer/ASPNET, and gave it all permissions and roles, and then made it an owner for the four system databases...but no joy.

Any pointers on this last piece would be helpful.

EDIT - MORE INFO

The error details

An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File......

Nov 14, 2006

I've read through all the posts in this fourm that are related to the problem I'm getting with this error message on my main form, but none of the fixes seen to solve the problem. So I hope someone can get me pointed in the right direction.

I'm running visual studio 2005 professional, and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and this is a desktop application. I added the db file to the solution with the Add New Data Source wizard, I can create the datasets and preview the data correctly.

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdbInventory.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

When I run the program the exception is throw in the Settings.Designer.vb code, Public ReadOnly Property for the connection string. The InnerException is this...

{"An error occurred loading a configuration file: Could not find a part of the path 'C:Documents and Settings<UserName><ApplicationName>.vshos_StrongName_1sdf1e34hkn1hqmkn2bgjjwstusfj2sg1.0.0.0user.config'. (C:Documents and Settings<UserName>Application Data...<ApplicationName>.vshos_StrongName_1sdf1e34hkn1hqmkn2bgjjwstusfj2sg1.0.0.0user.config)"}

This folder doesn't exist anywhere on the system, any ideas....

TIA,

Error An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File

Aug 1, 2006

Hi,

I've just created my first projects using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005 Express. This is the basic;

One windows service is created that updates a database. The windows service running under "Local system" account
One windows application where a user can see data (and change) from the database
A common business and dataaccess layer/project is used by both applications
Connection string to the database: "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DataDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=60;User Instance=True"

Both application is located in the same directory. When the computer starts the windows service starts and works perfectly. But when a user starts the windows applications the following error is reported "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file..A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share".

It look likes that only one of my application can connect to the database at a time!

Is it possible to use separate applications to connect to the same database file?

/Robert

Error An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File

Jan 17, 2007

Hello,

I have seen some solutions of which I tried on this form for the error I am receiving, but I still cannot get the issue resolved.

Here is my case:

I developed an app using SQL Express as the local data source. I published it to my server using the Once Click install feature. When I look in my project viewer, under settings, My db connection strings are listed as follows: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TAP_Master.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True

From another computer, I navigate to the publish site, install and run the application with no problems. I have on another computer, the same app with an updated version number that I wish to publish, however the difference is is that this published version does not include the database as I do not want the end user to overwrite any existing data that they may have from the previous version.

I publish the updated version, install it but when the app runs, I receive the message, "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file".

Any suggestions?



Thanks in advance.

Stuck Between Failed To Generate User Instance And An Attempt To Attach...failed

Sep 29, 2005

I wrote an application using Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 which uses a SQL Express .mdf file, included in the project, for the database.  After installing Visual Studio 2005 RC and the SQL Express that comes with it (I followed all of the uninstall instructions first) I can no longer add a SQL Express database to any of my projects, nor can I open the SQL Express database in my original project.  When I try either of these tasks, I get the "Failed to generate user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance.  The connection will be closed."  I read the thread which dealt with this error, and changed the connection string for the database file that had worked before to User Instance = false.  The moment I click Test Connection or OK, I get the error: "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:<path to project>EngSQL.mdf failed.  A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share." (<path to project> is actually a full path, I didn't want to type the whole thing out. :) ).  A search for this error turns up a solution of setting User Instance = false, which puts me in a catch 22 position.

BIDS Noob Requesting Help With Error Attaching Auto-named Database

Apr 25, 2008

Greetings, helpful people of the Internet.

I'm learning to use BIDS, and have been going through the exercise in Chapter 19 of the book Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration Services. I'm probably in over my head with this since I've never used any SQL services/software before, but the company I'm interning at wants to build a workflow using SSIS, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, I volunteered to train myself for the task. I'm at a part in the book exercise where I'm editing one of the components of a Data Flow task - an OLE DB Destination. When I try to select the table/view in the editor for this, it gives me the following error:


€œAn attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsgroseMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsCase Study ExerciseCase Study ExerciseCase Study.database failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.€?


When I googled this, most people seemed to be getting it through other SQL software, so I'm not sure if the error has the same cause or not. I know that the file in the above error message already exists, but I don't understand why the task editor won't just let me select a database that already exists so I can complete the component. Can anyone explain this to me?

Database Attach Failed

Nov 19, 2007

Here's the scoop, I got a generic-purpose database (in the form of*.mdb and *.ldf) from a 'reputable' source on the net. But when Iattempted to attach it to my sql server 2000 with SP3 with EM, itfailed complaining "Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID10, object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes."Then, I attempted to command line attach (thought it may have someoption...), same outcome. Then, ran a search on this NG, and foundthe following thread, the question is, MS most likely would notsupport something like this, so now what? Also thought aboutmanually adding a row to sysindexes table to 'fool the attach process'but after looking at some sample data in this table, I don't thinkit's a good idea to try, what can I do? Thanks.http://groups.google.com/group/comp...3bee910fa30aa9a

I executed the code successfully and I got a box which asked for "Enter the query string".
I typed in the following: EXEC dbo.SalesByCategory @Seafood. I got the following box: Query attempt failed. Must declare the scalar variable "@Seafood". I am learning how to enter the string for the "SQL query programed in the subQuery_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnQuery.Click" (see the code statements listed above). Please help and tell me what I missed and what I should put into the query string to get the information of the "Seafood" category out.

Thanks in advance,
