error during backup

when a database backup is tried to be taken to the hard disk it gives a
error "Write on 'F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\****.bak'
failed, status =112". The path was changed several times and checked the
same error message was occurring.
Any Clues?

error creating mdf - Connection to SQL server files (*.mdf) require SQL express 2005 to...

Connection to SQL server files (*.mdf) require SQL express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download fromhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=49251

I AM GOING TO RIP MY HAIR OUT WITH THIS PROBLEM. I have reinstalled both sql server express 2005 and VWD about 5 times with the same problem. please, please, please someone throw me a bone here and help me resolve this problem.

When I create a new EMPTY website and I rightclick on my website in the solution explorer and choose add item, I chooe SQL Database, I give it a name 'database.mdf' and click add. I get the following message:

you are attempting to add a database to an asp.net application. for a database to be gfenerally consumable in your site, it should be placed inside the 'app_data' folder. would you like to place the database inside the 'app_data' folder? I click YES (I know this message is normal)

then I get the following message:

Connection to SQL server files (*.mdf) require SQL express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download fromhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=49251

I can add anything else but this damn mdf file.

thanks for all your help in advance.

FYI to anyone who has had this problem and cannot find a resolution. I have found the solution in a another forum:

Thanks Jeffrey, the problem turned out to be a problem in Visual Studio
with an incorrect setting.

What I did was go into Tools, Options, Database Tools, Data Connections.

UnderSQLServer Instance Name (blank for default) i had the following
in there: MyComputerName\SQLEXPRESS

I changed it to the following: SQLEXPRESS

I also tested it just leaving it blank and working too.

Of course I would love to say a favorite end user quote "I never changed
it", but I'm too geeky to know that.

Happy Coding!

Error Control

hi,

I'm trying to insert files from one table to anotherone. The problem is that the source table doesnt have any primary key, and it has duplicated PK that the destination needs to be unique. It's possible to ignore this kind of errors? I am using an OLEDB Destination transformation, and trying to omit this error configuring the error output, but it doesnt work.

Thanks!

There are several ways to deal with duplicates. But first you have to tell how would you like to handle them.

You can use a sort transformation with the remove duplicates checked; the thing is that you don't have control over which row get passed and which gets discarded. If the rows are identical; then this approach is easy enough.

Notice that Sort transformation will cache all incoming rows before sending them to the out put, so memory consumptions and performance could suffer.

|||

Thnaks Rafael,

The problem is that i need to control these duplicated records. Is any other way to handle this situation? what i need is to omit this error , continue executing over the flow, and record it on the log.

|||

You could do an insert of the full data set and on the errors (rows with duplicates) use the error output to write them to a "duplicates" table.

You still are not providing the details on how do you want to handle the duplicates. Do you want to send them all to the duplicate tables, or do you want to insert at least one and reject the rest?

E.g if you have set of 3 duplicate rows, do you want to insert 1 and log the other 2 as duplicates or you want to log the 3 of them and insert none?

For the first case, and when the RANK() function is available in the source DB, like Oracle or SS2005 I use this:

http://rafael-salas.blogspot.com/2007/04/remove-duplicates-using-t-sql-rank.html

|||

I only want to insert the first record, all other duplicated records must by registered in the log (the error warning) not in other table, but it could be an alternative...

thanks both of you for your answers.

any idea about this error?

many thanks

Can you confirm that xp_cmdshell is enabled? Also can you confirm that the account your snapshot agent is running under (either the windows impersonation account, of the SQL Server agent account on your publisher) has write, and list files and folders rights on the publisher?

Error changing startup parameters after 8patch

Please help! Here is what happened in details:
----
Originally, the SQL Server install placed the data and log files in
d:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\ folder and the error
logs in d:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Log folder.
----
For syntactical (commands that do not like spaces in folder or file
names) and security and organizational (separate data and logs to
different drives) reasons, I decided to place them in various
locations. Using http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=224071 as a
guide, I moved the data file to d:\mssql\data\ and log files to
e:\mssql\transaction_log\ and error logs to e:\mssql\error_log\ by
changing the startup parameters:
-dD:\MSSQL\Data\master.mdf
-lE:\MSSQL\Transaction_Log\mastlog.ldf
-eE:\MSSQL\Error_Log
I followed the exact steps detailed from the link ("Moving the Master
Database").
No problems occurred.
----
I remember I ran the above procedures twice because I renamed one of
the Tlog folder to Transaction_Log. Again, that did not pose any
problems.
----
From time to time, Window updates and this patch were installed on
this machine:

Title: Cumulative Patch for Microsoft SQL Server (815495)
Date: 23 July 2003
Software:
- Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
- Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) 1.0
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000)
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (Windows)

http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms03-031.asp
- ---
----
The next time, I again attempted to change the location of the error
log file by changing the startup parameters to
-eD:\MSSQL\Process_Log\SQL_Error_Log. On step 8 of the "Moving the
Master Database" instructions, SQL Server was having problems starting
up. The error message received was:
initerrlog: Could not open error log file
'D:\MSSQL\Process_Log\SQL_Error_Log'. Operating system error = 5(Access is denied.).
You could not start SQL Server from anywhere except I found that
running sqlservr.exe from the command prompt with the temporary
startup parameters of the error log file of the original location
worked (sqlservr.exe -eD:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Log). SQL server runs under this mode, but SQL Server
Agent cannot start up even still.
While the SQL Server is running using the above command, I attempted
to change the Master Start Parameters of the Error Log back to
-eE:\MSSQL\Error_Log
and even -ed:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Log
but found no success starting the SQL Server with Enterprise Manager
or Services interfaces (sqlservr.exe was shutdown prior to attempt).
----
I am led to believe that the patch 815495 may have been involved with
the error. There have been times where Enterprise Manager freezes up
and automatically shuts down (occurs at least once a week) when
working within EM such as opening properties of Database Maintenance
Plan. This had not occurred before. In addition all the SQL logs
have been wiped out.
I have installed the same patch to my personal WinXP machine and the
Enterprise Manager no longer works (unable to open and receive an
error message to forward error to Microsoft) even with a reinstall.
These same results occurred on two server machines which were prepared
for production and standby. I don't know what else to do? Please
help!
Thanks so much,
JuneThe Error message you are receiving is access is denied to the log files.
Check your NTFS permissions, and make sure that the SQL Server account has
full control of the log files and the folder that they are in.

|||Hi,
Try using the procedure "sp_attach_single_file_db" to attach the database
with specifying the MDF file only.
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db 'dbname', 'c:\mssql\data\dbname.mdf'
THis will create a new database with exiting mdf and new ldf file.
This command will fail in below scenarios:-
1. If the database is not detached using sp_detach_db
2. If you have multiple LDF files in your old database.
If your sp_attach_single_file_db command fails then probaly you have to
restore the database from good backup available.

Error attaching database

I detached a database to copy the files and when I tried to re-attach it
failed with:
/ ****************************************
/
Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1

I'm pretty sure this is a disk problem. Is there anyway to re-attach this db
in emergency mode? Like you can with a suspect database.
Any help would be appreciated,
DougSIf going back to backup is not an option, then you may want to contact
Microsoft PSS. They maybe able to help you rebuild the transaction log.
However, the database may still be corrupted and depending on the extent of
the corruption, you may or may not be able to repair or extract data out.
