How can lock my database if any user stole my mdf and ldf file,User not able to attach the file.

Thanks
Mayank…………….

I am new to SQL.

I got a Database copied from my SQL 2005 data folder and tried to attach it in 2008 R2..but it is showing errior
“the DB you r trying to attach is not a Primary database File”

While this Database gets easily attached in another SQL servr 2005 edition..

what is your suggestion?
I am planning to install new version of SQL Server 2008 Rs x64 and migrate all databases to new instance, that is why I am looking for script for attaching SQL Server in bulk.

Thank you.

After lot of research I realized that my database file was attached to SQL Server and in order to add it to Visual studio, I had to detach the database file from SQL Server.

I ran the script to detach the database file as described in this article :

USE [master]
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_detach_db @dbname = ” @keepfulltextindexfile = ‘true’
GO

And Whoaaaa … I was able to add database file to App_Data folder in Visual Studio!!!

Thank you.

thanks !

Any info you can provide will be immensely helpful.

Please post your question once.

Reponse to your question :

Are you trying to attach SQL Server 2005 database files on SQL Server 2000 ? If that is the case then you cannot attach those files.

Please provide, version details you are trying to restore On.

USE [master]
GO
sp_attach_db @dbname = N’TestDB’,
@FILENAME1 = N’C:\Data\TestDB.mdf’ ,
@FILENAME2 = N’C:\Data\TestDB_1.ldf’

What did I miss?

Chill Man !!!

I guess, this is what you did ?

1. You executed detached database statement ( sp_detach_db) on server1 and then
2. You logged in to Server2 ( different machine) and
3. There you are trying to attach the database by executing this statement ( sp_attach_db).

But my dear, you have also have to manually move those .mdf and .ldf files from old server to new server.

And while using sp_attach_db stored procedures, give the new location of these files ( where ever you moved it to, ex: D:\program files\ microsoft sql server\………)

Once you move ( copy those .mdf and .ldf files)to new server then use sp_attach_db with the new location ( on new server).

You should be able to attach it.

If you cannot do it through sql commands, let me know I will try to post screen shots for the same using interfaces.

Hope this helps,
Imran.

Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database ‘AdventureWorks’. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Msg 602, Level 21, State 50, Line 1
Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 19, object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes.

I noticed that when a database is re-attached, it’s creation_date is updated to the date of attachment. Is there any way to change this?

Thanks
