Hi,
I have some database files (.MDF, .LDF,...) on the server. When I try
to delete them, the warning "Cannot delete file: There has been a
sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."
appears.
Since I am new to the environment I don't know where the files come
from and where they might be used.
Can anybody tell me what to do to delete those files?
Thank you.
Hi,
I am facing a wierd problem working with SQL Server Mobile edition database. The code works fine for some time and then it suddenly starts throwing "There is a file sharing violation. A different process might be using the file."
I am disposing and closing the connection after each operation.
Please find the function code below which is being used for any database operation.
SqlCeConnection sqlCon = null;
try
{
sqlCon = ConnectionFactory.getInstance().getPrimDsConnection();
sqlCon.Open();
readCmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand();
this.prepareStmtManyRows();
dataReader = this.readCmd.ExecuteReader();
IList result = this.populateManyRows();
return result;
}
catch (SqlCeException sqlEx)
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(
@"SqlCe Error in BaseReader.executeList() - ").Append(
sqlEx.Message).Append(':').Append(sqlEx.NativeError);
Log.getInstance().log(builder.ToString());
throw new DataAccessException(sqlEx);
}
finally
{
try
{
if( null != dataReader && ( !dataReader.IsClosed ))
{
dataReader.Close();
dataReader.Dispose();
}
if( null != readCmd) readCmd.Dispose();
if( null != sqlCon) sqlCon.Close();
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
}
}
I have also made sure that Query Analyzer is not running on my PDA.
I have been working on this since last one week but could not find a soultion.
Thanks,

I have an Integration Services package (VS 2012) that loads values from an Excel workbook and stores them in SQL Server. I'm using a 3rd party library to extract the workbook data in a C# script task, but before that, in the task, I create a Filestream:
MessageBox.Show("Step 1");using (FileStream fsWorkbook = new FileStream(strWkbkFilePath, FileMode.Open,      FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite)){   MessageBox.Show("Step 2");   //...}
The FileStream construction crashes with the error "The process cannot access the file ... because it is being used by another process." I know that this is where the crash occurs, because I see the "Step 1" message box before the exception message, but not "Step 2".
What's frustrating is that, if I set a breakpoint in the the script task, before the line causing the error, and start stepping through the code, I'm able to proceed and access the workbook file without error. At first I thought this might be due to a race condition, but then I added the message box shown above, which also pauses execution before the file stream is created. The pausing due to the MessageBox doesn't prevent the error when running in non-debug mode.
Note that I'm using FileShare.ReadWrite in the FileStream constructor, even though no other process should have the workbook open at the time. So why do I get the sharing error? And why does it not happen when debugging?
Hello,
I'm using an XML file to configure my dataBase connection string. I try to deploy my package on a new server and it works perfectly.
Then I made a second package which also need a configuration for the dataBase connection string. (I made the connection with the connection manager inside packages). The configuration is the same that for my first package, so I thought to use the same configuration file.
I can use the same configuration file but the problem is when I try to generate a deployment for my solution. I got an error which tell me that the xxx.dtsConfig file already exist and can not be copy again.
When I made the configuration in the second package I said that I want to reuse the file ... and I thought that for the deployment SSIS would know that it has to include that file only once ...
Did somebody already have this problem ?
Thanks !
Hello,
I was hoping that someone may be able to help me with an issue that I am having while trying to deploy my projects using MSI. Here is what I am trying to do.
I have two programs that are using MS SQL CE to share information. The first program is a windows service. The second program is a windows application that I am using mainly as a UI for the service. Each program has a seperate MSI setup program. I am using windows vista and VS 2005 on my developement machine.
The issue that I am having is when I deploy the programs. The windows service is working fine. It reads and writes to the database as expected. I know this because when I debug the UI program through VS 2005, I can read and write from the common SQL CE database with no issues. I am also pretty confident in the MSI program for the UI program because if I install the UI program on the developement computer and run the UI program as administrator it runs fine.
The issue arises when I simply open the UI program or when I try to run the UI program on a windows xp sp2 machine. I am no longer able to access the database file. I have tried many diffent things, but so far with no luck. Most of the attempts to fix this so far have been concerning the location of the database file these have had little or no effect. Again if I open the UI program using the right click option of 'Run as Administrator' in windows vista, the problem disappears.
Thanks in advance for any help. Even a push in the right direction would be helpful at this point. I will keep working on this issue, if I find a solution myself I will repost it here.
Hey guys and girls,
This seems like a no brainer, but it's driving me nuts. I want one XML file for the entire solution. There are multiple packages in the solution which have different Connections in the conntion Managers. The packages share some connection names, and some are unique to the package.
Example:
LoadData.dtsx would have a source database connection named (SourceDB_OLEDB) and a oledb connection (DataWarehouse_OLEDB).
LoadDataMart.dtsx would use the same name for the (DataWarehouse_OLEDB) connection and have another oledb connection (DataMart_OLEDB)
I want one XML config file that has all the connection strings, but the problem is that the LoadDataMart.dtsx will throw an error:
Error 1 Error loading LoadDataMart.dtsx: The connection "SourceDB_OLEDB" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. c:ssisLoadDataMart.dtsx 1 1
Thanks,

I am writing a DB-driven application, using Visual Studio. I have a database that i want to be able to move from one computer to another, and still be able to access it. It's probably something simple, but I must be missing out something.
The problem is that if i choose windows authentication, then the DB cannot be used on another computer. I also had no luck when using SQL Authentication.
How can this be done? What form of authentication should be used and how, so that I can just copy my DB from one computer to another, then log into the DB using a username and password?
*Any* help would be greatly appreciated!

I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Express database.Here is the connection string used on the web application:"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|admindata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
Now, i create a Windows application which will run on the server to perform some scheduled tasks, for the Windows application I used this connection string:"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:WebSitesmywebsite.comwwwApp_Dataadmindata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"The problem is, when the web site is running and using the database, the windows application can't connect to the database and i don't know where i'm doing wrong, if it's the web application connection string or, if it's the windows application connection string.
I hope someone had the same experience and can point me to a direction.

I am in the process of designing a web application for our application that will be available to the general public.Basically will be used to collect information for a case report. I need to know if there is a way from our internal database driven application to push certain data up to the website that the database may be behind a firewall so I cannot make a direct connection to the external database. I thought I heard about some sort of data sharing protocol. I then will be storing the users entered data in the website database and pulling it from the internal application. So basically I need a secure way of sending and receiving data between a server/client app on a LAN system to the Web site database that could be hosted outside the LAN.
I hope this made sense.
simple question:
I have create a web site in visual studio with form user authentication. Thats create a mdf database in this path:
c:inetpubwwwrootwebsiteapp_dataaspnetdb.mdf
thats use Sql server
i would like to access this database with c# form application on a network with multi-user.
if i change the drive letter of the path above to f: (mapped drive) or \serverc, i got this message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The file "h:InetpubwwwrootwebsiteApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF" is on a network path that is not supported for database files.
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file h:InetpubwwwrootwebsiteApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
i read that sql server did not support database sharing with mapped drive or unc share.
So how can i share website database with c# application???
Note: of course if i develop the website and the application on the same machine its work. I want this application run on several work station accessing all the same mdf database with his web user member.
My SSIS control flow includes a standard "textbook" WMI Event Watcher Task that monitors a folder for incoming files. Generally it works fine, but now I regularly see the error message:
"Watching for the Wql Query caused the following system exception: "Quota Violation." Check the query for errors or WMI connection for access rights/permissions"
I do not see any indication of trouble in the event logs. The SSIS log simply states that it failed.
Is there any magic about WMI Event Watcher?
When I restart, it runs fine for hours.
SQL05 is 9.0.3054 on W2003 with all microsoft updates applied. It is basically a bare machine with SQL Server, SSIS running and a service that kicks in occasionally.

Hello -- Please excuse my extreme newbieness -- trying to get up to speed fast on SQL Server Express for work. I've been able to set up the software, create a database, and access it with no problems on my local computer, but I need to make the database available to other computers in my workgroup. I followed instructions -- enabled TCP/IP and Named Pipes and turned on SQL Server Browser, and I was actually able to manipulate one system database (the "master" database) from another computer but not any other databases, not even the other system databases. I can connect to any of the databases with the SQLCMD commands, but if I try to do any SELECT commands (other than in "master") I get an error: "SELECT permission denied on object '[MyTable]', database '[MyDatabase]', schema 'dbo'". I was only able to get into "master" after adding "guest" as a user, but adding this user to the other databases has no effect. One interesting thing: When I used the sp_table_privileges command on each database, all but "master" showed all privileges being granted to and from "dbo", but "master" didn't show anything being granted to or from anybody. Does anyone know what could be going on here? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any and all help!

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.

Hi there. We're doing a save on a MS Great Plains with SQL Server screen and get the following error:
"A save operation on table 'WS_Time_Sheet_TRX_WORK' failed because a database constraint was violated."
If I hit More Info it says:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_WS10702_UPR00100'. The conflict occurred in database 'NSP', table 'U00100PR', column 'EMPLOYID'.
I know these messages probably make perfect sense to you guys, but I'm a newbie. Can you point me in the right direction? My thinking is that maybe I should force the foreign key constraint using the "WITH NOCHECK" option or maybe the wrong data type is mapped between the two tables sharing the Foreign Key and the key should be deleted and recreated.
Any help you can provide would be most appreciated! Assume that I'm a newbie and that I know very little. You won't hurt my feelings if you "dumb it down" so I can understand where to begin! lol I'm not even entirely sure I know where to look to edit the connection in the first place.
Guys,
We have existing SSRS farm (3 web servers total) with single virtual IIS servers on each box.
We need to add couple more virtual IIS server on each box.
And these virtual IIS need their RS as well.
Web applications are written by independent vendors. They all have different IP/domain name.
All web app have own Reports & ReportServer virtual directories.
I was thinking of sharing ReportServer windows service and RS databases.
Is it possible? What would be best setup route?
Thanks,
OK
I have a situation where I would like to set up one DB server instance for US and anther one for AUStralia. The Instance should share the same data base/hardsisk. One of the instances will be running in using US time zone and anothe one in Australia time zone.
There will be 2 Application instaces one poinint to each SQL Server instance. This applications does write into the database
So the underlying requirment is to have 2 database server running in differnet time zones but accessing the same disk/set of data
What is the best way to do this? Is it linked servers?Girish
I am using Master Data Service for couple of months now. I can load, update, merge and soft delete data in MDS. Occasionally we even have to hard delete data from MDS. If we keep on soft deleting records in a MDS table eventually there will be huge number of soft deleted records. Is there an easy way to hard delete all the soft deleted records from all MDS tables in a specific Model.
View 18 Replies View RelatedCurrently we has a database of size about 300G. Because our backup system failed some time past we were left with a transaction log file which grew to about 160G. However our backups are working again and everything is working fine. My understanding is that now the transaction log file is practically empty but the capacity remains at 160G.
When you delete records the deleted transactions are going to get logged to the transaction file. My understanding is when a backup is done these transactions get discarded out of the transaction file.
could I make use of this relatively large transaction file and start deleting transactions without out actually adding to the transaction file size.
The plan is to delete records from logging tables that are not referenced to by any other table without this increasing the transaction log file.For example over a period of a few weeks we can delete a chunk of records from a table. Then after it has completed a backup we can delete another chunk of records out of this table until we have got the table down to the records that we now need.Will this work?

Hi,
I have a database created in server 2000, and now I have moved it to server 2005.
All works do fine, but there is a user which cannot be removed.
In the user properties window, the assigned schema is empty. The user is a db_owner of the database. When I was trying to update the user, it asked me for the login. The login is empty, but the field is disabled.
So my question is, how to remove this user?
Thank you.

I have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.
I have tried several times to install SQL server onto an NT4.0 server which is more than capable of having more than one application to cope with, however, when going through the install procedure the programm stops with the following message

Any hints as to where the problems lies or point me inthe right direction would be appreciated.
I want to use BCP to load data from a text file.
By default, constraints are turned off in bcp, so I use the CHECK_CONSTRAINTS hint.
bcp aborts if ANY of the rows contains a FK violation. No data get loaded.
So if I add the -b 1 batch size option, it loads all data UNTIL the first FK violation, but nothing after that.
I want to load EVERYTHING ... except for the violations. But bcp won't let me. Is there a way?
Using ASP.net 2.0 or Visual Web Developer Edition 2005 I could not find a single example with Datagrid Control or Form View Control, to achieve the basic functionality ofAdd/Edit/Delete Records with Remote SQL Server 2000 Database. When I searched for these examples I found many videos and examples using local database and in learning path of Visual web express editions, very goodexamples and videos using local SQL Server 2005 database, BUT not with the remote database.
My question Is it possible to get the basic functionality of Add/Edit/Delete Records with Remote SQL Server 2000 Database using ASP.Net 2.0 Datagrid and FormView controls?
This question looks like, a lazy developer question!! but, in my learning path I found GREAT videos in Visual Studio Web Developer Express edition and learned simple way of drag and drop the controls assign create local database and their connections, and few clicks to add/edit/delete records using datagrid and formview controls. In real life those are not much useful because many of web interfaces are with sql server 2000 and we need to convert them into ASP.Net. Similarly I wanted to drag and drop couple of controls and less coding etc. and accomplish basic functionality of add/edit/delete records using remote database sql server 2000.
If possible please help me out.
Wondering is it possible to get the functionality of add/edit/delete records using datagrid/formview with remote sql server 2000, the way they explained in bigginers learning videos ... I am referring to (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa700802.aspx)
If possible and you think it is possible please guide me to that URL where I can learn the great functionalty n implement..!!
