Unable To Attach DataBase In SQL Server 2005 Standard
May 6, 2007
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.
I'm attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Standard, on my personal PC which isn't on a network, there are no user accounts besides myself, I'm signed-on as admin.
The logs from C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOG, all appear successful, although there are many more logs.
When I look under Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services, I see no service at all for SQL Server.
I attempted to use the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration Tool, which told me no instances of the data-base had been loaded.
I must admit, the install went a bit too fast for me to believe it was correct. I was never even asked for the product-key.
This particular copy, was bundled with Visual Studio 2005 Pro, which was given to me by someone who attended a Microsoft seminar/demo of some sort.
I've never used SQL Server before, and know nothing about it, so I hope I'm posting in the right forum.
Any help would be appreciated, and I can provide listings of any log-file if needed.
Thanxxxxxxxxxx in advance for any replies. I'm studying for MCTS, and am trying to work through ADO.Net Step by Step.
I€™ve developed a BI system using the SQL Server 2005 Developer€™s Edition.
SSAS, SSIS and SSRS have been added to a SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition Server in preparation for delivering the developed database to this live environment.
So I am able to connect directly to the Database Engine, SSAS, SSIS and SSRS successfully from the actual SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition box which is sat on a Windows 2003 Server operating system.
However when I launch SQL Server Management Studio from a desk top PC which is connected to the SQL Server Standard Edition box I can€™t connect to either SSIS or SSRS, however I can connect to the Database Engine and it also seems that I can connect to SSAS OK.
I am using Windows Authentication where the I used a SQL Server account which exists with €śsysadmin€? permissions and this SQL Server account has the same login name as the Windows Server 2003 desktop login.
i have a database wich is part of a vb.net project tha database worked fine..i wanted to change the location of the mdf file to the application folder so i copied it to that folder but then i tried to attach it to the server using the management studio right click database select attach that opened the add dialog box with the tree to locate the mdf file but the tree does not expand into the application folder and i can't get to the mdf file.so i tried to attach with attach command and i got the error message that access is denied error 5.i checked the security settings in all files and parent folders and everything seems ok
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.
I had to detach the database to delete the transaction log as it tookthe hole disk space.No I am trying to attach database, however I am not able to do so.The engine is asking me whether I want to continue and create new logfile. I agree to it, however then I am receiving an error:Error 1813: Could not open new database 'db_name'. CREATE DATABASEaborted. Device activation error. The physical file name 'E:SQLDatabasesMSSQLDatadb_name.ldf' may be incorrect.Then after I have message than attaching database failed.In event viewer I have:17204 :FCB::Open failed: Could not open device E:SQL DatabasesMSSQLDatadb_name.MDF for virtual device number (VDN) 0.In the error log I have:2008-01-23 10:28:59.00 spid52 Starting up database 'db_name'.Do you have any ideas where the problem is?I have never had this problem before, only now. And I didn't have thisproblem with other databases for which I have deleted the log file.

This is by FAR, the most frustrating problem I have dealt with for a while.I have a project containing a SqlExpress database that I created in Visual Studio 2005. Everything works perfectly on my development machine. However, upon copying the site up to the webserver, I get an error stating:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file D:ContentwwwFMakerApp_DataClassAd.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC shareI have read almost every article/forum post that resulted from a search with google. I also searched these forums, to no avail.Note - SQLExpress had just been downloaded and installed on the server, so it wasn't being used yet. Server is Windows Server 2003. Here are the following steps I have already taken:Used SSEUTIL.EXE to verify that another database of the same name was not already attachedUninstalled & reinstalled SQLExpress multiple timesTemporarily granted 'Full Control' permissions to 'Everyone' on the site folder to verify that it was not a permissions issue.Created a very simple website, with a new database, one page - with one listbox control, and a sqldatasource. Got the exact same error. Should rule out a problem with my application.Tried various flavors of the web.config connection string.Probably other stuff that I forgot about, but will add if I remember.The only things I could imagine being wrong are either a problem with my connectionString, or the fact that SQLExpress is installed on C:, and webstuff is on D: (Wasn't able to install SqlExpress to D: for some reason)Connection String <connectionStrings> <add name="ClassAdConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ClassAd.mdf;Integrated Security=true;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> So I have had like 12 strokes today. If anybody could help me get this fixed, I will spread tales of your awesomeness throughout the landsI have included some extra info below in case it is needed.

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.
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.

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
Hi. I would like to if its possible to take a Express ".mdf" file and attach it to a full blown SQL Server 2005?, to "attach" it to a real SQL Server 2005?. And how do i do this?. or do i have to do it since there is a "DataDirectory" directive that manage this for me in the connectionstring?, im a little newbie about this :)

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?

-We restore DatabaseA and DatabaseB to the SQL Server 2005 Standard. The databases are restored with the security permissions of asdfUser being the DB Owner of DatabaseA and DatabaseB.
-We create a new SQL user named asdfUser on the SQL Server 2005 box. We then try to add the UserMapping of DBOWNER for the DatabaseA and DatabaseB. We receive an error message stating that the asdfUser already have permissions to the databases. We proceed with the user creation without those permissions.
-We proceed to the login properties of the asdfuser and view their UserMappings. The asdfUser does not have access to DatabaseA or DatabaseB. We then add the UserMapping of DBOWNER to both DatabaseA and DatabaseB. We Try to select OK and we receive an error message that states that the user already has those permissions.
-When we query the UserID's of the asdfUser that is in the database and the UserID of the asdfUser that is created, they are two different values.
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?
