How can I create a database in SqlServer 2008 r2 over network drive.
I have done this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/varund/archive/2010/09/02/create-a-sql-server-database-on-a-network-shared-drive.aspx

with this script:
CREATE DATABASE [db2_r2] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N’db2_r2′, FILENAME = N’\\192.168.16.17\BkpServidoresFiles\Temporal_PorUnMes\db2_r2.mdf’ , SIZE = 3072KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N’db2_r2_log’, FILENAME = N’\\192.168.16.17\BkpServidoresFiles\Temporal_PorUnMes\db2_r2.ldf’ , SIZE = 1024KB , MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO

But error message is:
Msg 5133, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Directory lookup for the file “\\192.168.16.17\BkpServidoresFiles\Temporal_PorUnMes\db2_r2.mdf” failed with the operating system error 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).
Msg 1802, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.

The network drive has full control for user EveryOne.

Thanks for your help.
Stephan.

Are you familiar with PowerShell? In SQL server 2008 and greater you can trigger PwerShell scripts as a step within a SSA job and follow it up on the next step with an SSIS job to load the new records.

I am creating one application for restoring the database. A user, select the .bak file through this application and need to restore the database (Which is reside in server). So, I pass the selected file as a binary data to the database. Is it possible to restore the database from a binary data?

Thanks in advance.

The Data Type with the lower precedence is the one that is always converted. So, if the lower precedence Data Type is on the left side (table side), every row gets converted (Full Index Scan). If the lower precedence is on the right side (expression side), only the expression value gets converetd (Index Seek).

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190309.aspx for precedence order.

does this statement correct?
