SQL Server :: SQL Server Management Studio Is Not Attaching A Database?
Sep 2, 2010
I'm a newbie in development, and i'm facing a grave concern here. Sql Server Management Studio (2008) does not seem to be able to attach a database that i've already created in Sql Server 2005 express within my ASP.NET application. When I try to attach the database, by clicking "Attach" after right clicking the Database note in object explorer, I get to see a dialog box with an Add button. I then click that button, and try to navigate to the database, and I'm simply not able to reach that folder!!! The folder containing the databse physically exists, but i can't see it when i'm trying to browse to it.This is a Windows 7 (home edition) laptop, with VS 2008.
I m using the Memebership DB (ASPNETDB), but i would like to integrate it in my own database.I tryed to use Sql Server Managment studio by attaching this 2 db to the manager and do sam manipulation to copy the aspnetdb.mdf table to my own db but when i tryed to attach the mdf file I got error.
I have a mdf database in my computer. And I have sql management studio 2005 installed. I would like to mange the mdf database with this program and I do not know how.
I am unable to restore database in form of .bak files using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.It gives following error message:
Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I have created a web application and an SQL database using Web Developer 2010 Express. I have SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio Express. In order to deploy the database to my hosting space I need to create a .BAK file from my new database. I think I can do this from with the Management Studio, but can't figure out how to get it to connect to the database. I have used Management Studio before to retore another SQL database and the only connection I see when I open the Management Studio is the old connection to the old database. How do I connect to my new database?
I need to connect to 3 remote databases from my local machine and restore 3 .bak files, one for each database.I am new to asp and sql server and am finding SQL Server Management studio quite confusing. I cannot find any options to connect remotely or restore a database from .bak.
I am using SQL server 2008 . What i all want is to create a uses that can only see the ABCDatabase in Management studio onced login. And to achieve that:
1- I have created a new user. 2- Deny View all database right to that user. 3-Set that user as Owner of ABCDatabase
Now on login that user cannot see other databases but still able to see the system databases. How can i hide those system databases from that user?
i m having an Hosting with Godaddy server , now my problem is i want to upload(attach) my machine database to godaddy sql server . i have also check all the function and configration on godaddy but i m not getting how i can do that. if i try to take remote connection , this also not possbile in godaddy ( due to security they are disable this function )wht is the other way i can attach my database (.bkp) file to live godaddy server.
I have an ASP.NET 3.5 app with a SQL 2005 Express .mdf database file in its App_Data folder. Lets call that Foo.mdf. On its own the ASP.NET app can connect to the database with no problems. So far so good. Then, if I install Sql Server Management Studio Express on the server and start it, it finds the local SQLEXPRESS instance and connects to it, but doesn't show Foo.mdf in the list of databases.
So I try and Attach Foo.mdf by right-clicking on databases and selecting Attach.. and finding the .MDF. This fails with a vague error:
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 32(error not found) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:inetpubwwwrootFooAppApp_DataFoo.mdf'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5123)
If I stop my ASP.NET site in IIS, then the attach does work, but then when I restart my ASP.NET app, it can't connect to Foo.mdf. So it looks like SQL Express 2005 will only let either my app or Management Studio connect. This seems really crap - surely Sql Express should allow more than one connection? I was expecting it to behave like regular Sql Server.

I usually use WebMatrix to manage my database (sdf file). I wonder if it can be possible to manage this database with SQL Management Studio 2008? When I try to open it with SQL Management Studio 2008 I get the error:
Incompatible database version. What's wrong?
BUT When I create a new sdf database with SQL Management Studio 2008, I have no problem for open it again with SQL Management Studio 2008 but if I try to open it with WebMatrix it doesn't work...(server not found?)
How do you import database diagram at SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)? Using SSMSE in checking my database through a shared server, the "Database Diagrams" folder has no import functionality.
I just installed SQL Server 2008 Management studio Express on my Vista machine.i tried connecting to local machine using :
.sqlexpress, (local)sqlexpress, or .SQLExpress, MyPCNAMESQLExpress
nothing is working, getting this error:
----------------------------- Cannot connect to PC-NAMESQLEXPRESS. A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) ----------------------------
I have SQL server management studio express install on one machine.
I am able to connect to that machine or able to ping that machine from my computer.
I have code which return me the SQL server instances on same network. Using that I am able to get that SQL server instance. I have configured SQL express to access remote connection. i.e.
Configured SQL express to accept named / TCP IP instance connection. Started Browser service.
My machine settings My machine has been configured to set dynamic IP address using DHCP protocol
When I am trying to connect to above mentioned SQL server I am getting error that "Failed to connect SERVER NAME\SQLEXPRESS".
But if I configured my machine with manual IP address and default gateway I am able to connect to same SQL server.
I got the solution to connect to that server but I don't know why I am facing such problem. And also let me know that is the solution I am using is correct or not?

if this mght be abit silly question am a Novice Developer. If am using Visual Studio 2008 Pro, Do I need SQL Server Management Studio? or is it included in the VS 2008 Pro Suite? Am learning C# and SQL Server.
using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005. Saved it by name SQLQuery1.sql on the desktop. Now I would like to call this query from C# code when an ASP.NET button is clicked and display the results in a gridview. How do I call the query? Can I tell Visual Studio 2008 to please execute the query stored in 'sqlquery1.sql' ? Where do I store the results so that I can bind them the display controls like a gridview, or traverse the data? This is a website in C#, ASP.NET, Visual Studio 2008, and database is on the same computer using SQL Server 2005 Express
