@filename1 is not a parameter for procedure sp_attach_db??? what?

  • I am receiving this error when trying to re-attach a database.

    I used the detach script : sp_detach_db @dbname ='db1'

    I backed up the files to tape, then after that was done I tried to reattach the datafiles and get this error.

    This is what I'm running and the error I get:

    sp_attach_db @dbname ='db1',

    @filenamel ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_01_data.MDF',

    @filename2 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_02_data.NDF',

    @filename3 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_03_data.NDF',

    @filename4 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_04_data.NDF',

    @filename5 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_05_data.NDF',

    @filename6 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_06_data.NDF',

    @filename7 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_07_data.NDF',

    @filename8 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_08_data.NDF',

    @filename9 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_09_data.NDF',

    @filename10 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_10_data.NDF',

    @filename11 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_11_data.NDF',

    @filename12 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_12_data.NDF',

    @filename13 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_log.ldf'

    Server: Msg 8145, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_attach_db, Line 0

    @filenamel is not a parameter for procedure sp_attach_db.

    I am not moving these datafiles, they reside in the same spot I detached them from.  It is SQL 2000.  I've tried logging in as sa, as an administrator, running the script from a remote server, on the server itself.  I tried restarting the SQL service.  This has happened once before and mysteriously corrected itself- but now it won't!

    Any ideas?- I'm really getting annoyed with the situation! Thanks...

  • @filenamel ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_01_data.MDF',

    Look very carefully. The lowercase letter L is very similar to the number 1 ...

    @filename1 ='F:\mssql\data\db1\db1_01_data.MDF',

  • Uggh!  Thanks.  I had a feeling I was missing something dumb.  You are absolutely right, the font I was using made it look alot like a one.  And I didn't notice the difference after I pasted my query in the forum page.

    Geesh..
