Unable to open physical file - Operating system error 5: 5(error not found) Microsoft SQL Server: Error 5120


I am trying to attach a database to SQL 2005. This database has not previously been attached. I have only just installed SQL.

I get the following message: Unable to open physical file "C:\ArrowSQL\Arr@Data\Arrow_data.mdf" Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)" (Microsoft SQL Server: Error 5120)".

I have loaded SQL and the database fiel and directory with the same user acccount which is a local adminstrator ont hsi machine. I have checked that I have read/write access to the file.

The machine runs Windows Vista Business. SQL has SP 2 loaded.
Use the below script to find the sql service account

Code Snippet
declare @sqlser varchar(20)
EXEC master..xp_regread @rootkey='HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',@key='SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLSERVER',
@value_name='objectname', @value=@sqlser OUTPUT
PRINT 'Account Starting SQL Server Service:' +convert(varchar(30),@sqlser)


After getting the service account try the below steps to provide privilege

  • Right click on the folder C:\ArrowSQL\Arr@Data and click on properties
  • Click on security tab
  • Click on Add button and add sql service account
  • Provide modify privilege and click ok
  • Verify both mdf and ldf have modify privilege
  • Attach the db!

    BEST METHOD.


    You can also try the below alternate method to find service account

    • Goto RUN
    • Type services.msc & press enter
    • In service control manager find the below service w.r.t to your edition.
    For SQL 2000
    MSSQLSERVER -- for default instance
    MSSQL$instancename -- for named instance

    For SQL 2005 & SQL 2008
    SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) -- for default instance
    SQL Server (instancename) -- for named instance
    • Check the "Log On as" for the SQL service and provide modify privilege to that ID in the folder.

Call User-defined Function on Linked Server :SQL Server

If you try to invoke a user-defined function (UDF) through a linked server in SQL Server by using a "four-part naming" convention (server.database.dbo.Function), you may receive error message.  The reason is User-defined function calls inside a four-part linked server query are not supported in SQL Server. Thats why error message indicates that the syntax of a Transact-SQL statement is incorrect.  To work around this problem, use the Openquery function instead of the four-part naming convention. For example, instead of the following query Select * from Linked_Server.database.dbo.Function(10) run a query with the Openquery function: Select * from Openquery(Linked_Server,'select database.dbo.Function(10)') If the user-defined function takes variable or scalar parameters, you can use the sp_executesql stored procedure to avoid this behavior.  For example: exec Linked_Server.database.dbo.sp_executesql N'SELECT database.dbo.Function(@input)',N'@input...

Truncate a SQL Server log file (Reduce the size of an LDF file)

I have been doing database administration and have been asked several times to reduce the size of database files. The actual mdf file is small, 3MB, but the LDF file is 10GB !! I have read about the DBCC SHRINKFILE command and tried this, but the file has stayed at 10GB even though it said the command executed fine. I've also tried using the wizard in SQL Server to reduce the LDF to a specified file size (800MB), this also failed to change the size even though it gave me the impression it had worked and was successful via the wizard. The best thing I found is to change the recovery mode of database to RECOVERY SIMPLE before executing the SHRINKFILE command. After that change back the recovery mode to FULL . ALTER DATABASE ExampleDB SET RECOVERY SIMPLE DBCC SHRINKFILE('ExampleDB_log', 0, TRUNCATEONLY) ALTER DATABASE ExampleDB SET RECOVERY FULL Happy Coding :)

Pass multiple complex objects to Web API action

Working with ASP.NET Web API, the most unexpected thing is the limited support of POST data values to simple ApiController methods. When a parameter has [FromBody], Web API uses the Content-Type header to select a formatter. At most one parameter is allowed to read from the message body. The reason for this rule is that the request body might be stored in a non-buffered stream that can only be read once. A simple principle, you can send any content in HTTP request, it only need to be serializable into a string. So, it could be multiple JSON object. In this example, the content type is "application/json" and the request body is a raw JSON string (not a JSON object). Here I found a workaround to pass multiple complex objects (using the above principle) from jquery to a WEB API using JObject , and then cast back to your required specific object type in api controller. This objects provides a concrete type specifically designed for working with JSON. var customer = { ...
