.MDF and .LDF files that are Read Only

I have a pair of .MDF and .LDF files that I attached to my SQL 2000 server
from the Enterprise Manager. But when the Attach Process was complete, the
icon for that new database was grayed out and it has a (Read-Only) next to
it. After I gave myself every single permission on the SQL server, the
system still won't let me change the configuration properties.
What do I do next?
A couple of guesses here. Was the db in a non-recovered state when you
detached it or was it even properly detached? Are the files them selves set
to Read Only or is the Archive bit set?

.......A floating point exception occurred in the user process.........

I'm getting this error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A floating point exception occurred in the user process. Current transaction is canceled. at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Update(DataRow[] dataRows, DataTableMapping tableMapping) at ...etc etc
when updating one particular table, but not when updating another using nearly the same code.
I've searched and searched on the inet, but with no joy.
Microsoft have several different manifestations of it, under variousdifferent circumstances, but the solutions all seem to involveinstalling SP4, which by the looks of it is a massive procedure thatyou have to go to university to be competent to do.
In any case, according to Enterprise Manager, I already have SP4included. On the other hand, the one file of mine I checked the date ofagainst MS's hotfix file list was 2002 not 2003, so who knows?
My Service Manager is v 8.00.760, and it's the Development Edition (ie it's all running on the one machine).
According to the info on sqlDataAdaptor.update, thesqlError that gets returned as part of the sqlException containsfields Class, which gives the seriousness of the error, and State,which identifies the exact error. I get Class=16 (user-fixable)and State=1, which we have to go to SQL Books Online to discover themeaning of. SQL BO probably sounded like a good idea to W.Gates,but it took me half an hour to get anywhere near finding out what that'1' meant. When I did, it was (guess): 'A floating pointexception occurred in the user process. Current transaction iscanceled.' !!!
Can anyone please tell me what exactly might be causing the error?

What is your create table statement like is float one of your data types? Another thing most T-SQL quantitative functions are in float but we usually don't use float as data type for rounding problems. Post your stored proc and create table statement and I may be able to help you.|||That would be very terrific. Actually, the update command was made by Visual Studio and looks like this:

Pretty lengthy?*!$!
The Create statement I don't have, as the database was converted fromAccess. Other tables from it work ok, though, after they had theprimary key put back in. The data types are a mixture ofmoney & real - some of those were empty, and I did tryputting 0's in them prior to the update in case it was that, but Ithought it shouldn't really be necessary and it had no effect. Also, there are some ints and nvarchars and bits, and one each ofvarchar and ntext.
Is that enough? It would be, as I said, extremely terrific if you could help.
Thanks,

There is little difference between Float and Real in SQL Server because the synonym for Real is Float. Try to change that to Decimal or Numeric and I have problem with your ISNULL because it replaces NULL values with 0. Try the links below to see how to deal with NULL values and see if you can use a CASE statement. One more thing COUNT (*) is the only aggregate function in SQL Server that calculates NULL values but you don't have to use ISNULL all th time. Post again if the problem continues and the SQL Server BOL (books online) is the best in the business but you will do better with Boolean searches. Hope this helps.

Hiagain, and thanks for the reply. Having slept on it, I thought I'd tryreducing the size of the query by not including variouscolumns when configuring the DataAdaptor in Visual Studio. Iun-included half of them, and it worked fine. Then Iprogressively re-included blocks of columns until it stopped workingagain. Below is the column list. The ones marked '?'are the ones which, when included, cause the error to happen (and when re-un-included stop it happening again!).
They don't look very different to other columns in the table, and I'mthinking it was just the sheer size of the generated query thatdefeated the server.
Unless you disagree, this looks like a bug? Of course, onewouldn't expect to be able to use infinite-sized tables, but I'd expect a relevant warning, not an inexplicable error?

Thanks,

Graham Rounce

|||It is not the size of your query but change all the Real and Money to Decimal or Numeric. The numeric data in the Real column is over flowing, and I know there are existing issues with money rounding to less than a dollar going back to 1999. In Decimal and Numeric remember to set the precission and scale. Post again and be patient. Hope this helps.|||Hi again, and thanks. Just one more q if you don'tmind. Can I just change those types in 'Design Table' in theEnterprise Manager? I mean, it looks like I can, but will thecontents still be ok? I'm using the table at the momentwithout about a third of the columns as they didn't really need to bethere anyway, but it seems like it would be good practice to sort itout.
Can I just go in and change the types? It can't really be as easy as that? (Smiley thing)
Graham Rounce
|||I don't mind at all just open the BOL (books online) search pane and enter ALTER table, the first answer covered all you need. Hope this helps.|||It looks like Alter Table does everything except make the tea! (Andthat could be in there somewhere, too). I'm quite happy to changethe Types in Enterprise Manager, as it's only a one-offconversion. Is that likely to cause any problems, as long as Ichange the prog to suit?
Thanks again,

|||I don't think it will cause any problem and I am glad to see you are close to a solution. Hope this helps.|||Yes indeed. Thanks very much.

**kill process**

Hi
In SQL 2000, sometimes it takes a long time to fetch data from a very
simple table that in normal cicumestances I can get the information in a
glance. and when I take look at
(enterprise manager->management->current activity->locks/process id)
I'll find some spids with red icon in blocking mode, so by right clicking
and killing the process I can get ride of them.
and I 've found in lock/objects when I have a view or procedure which is
locked all its tables are locked too.
I want to know when this problem occure and why? how can I prevent any
locking?
or how can I be informed when a lock object happened to go and kill
it?(should I accidently discover it?)
any help on this issue would be appreciated.M

(provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)

I am getting the following error when i try to connect to the my web site using froma different server.

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)

i am using sql express and i attach the database through the connection string in the web config.

Any ideas

The error indicates the connection was eatablished but then closed for some reason, this can happen if the SQL2005 instance is out of the available connections when the instance is configured to use a nonzero maximum number of concurrent connections. Check the SQL ERRORLOGs for detailed information, which you can get by executing xp_readerrorlog in Management Studio. If you find something like "Could not connect because the maximum number of '5' user connections has already been reached.", you can execute such command:

sp_configure 'user connections',0
