------------------------------
Life is far too important to be taken seriously -
I get this message when trying to attach the mdf supplied in the download.
GO
CREATE DATABASE pubsdev
ON PRIMARY (FILENAME = 'c:\dba\redgate\pubsdev.mdf')
FOR ATTACH
GO
same results for
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db
@dbname = 'pubsdev',
@physname = c:\DBA\REDGATE\pubsdev.mdf'
Server: Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'pubsdev'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Device activation error. The physical file name 'd:\ssc\MSSQL$PUBLISHER\data\PubsDev_log.ldf' may be incorrect.

Thought I would put this here, I had problems attaching the .MDF's to my local instance, since my "D:" drive was a CD-ROM, I kept getting the error:
Server: Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'PubsDev'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Device activation error. The physical file name 'd:\ssc\MSSQL$PUBLISHER\data\PubsDev_log.ldf' may be incorrect.
So it appears even though you want it to create the Log File in another location, it fails.
I attached on another server that had a writeable "D:" drive, and it worked fine, creating the Log File where I told it to.

This is no contest... This is brainless homework...
A contest for SQL Server Central should be more a match where all participant must think hard to build some script (or some other SQL Server based thing) that's better than someoneelse's.
This contest is brainless boring.
Sorry....

Sven,
There are contests of different kinds, I'll admit this one is not super challenging compared to some. I dont think that means its bad, just different.
-
Anyone else had problems attaching? I've had quite a few successful attempts judging by entries received so I dont think the files themselves are bad.
-
If the contest is still on why does the email address no longer work?
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at lance.cordhosting.com.

This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

The files were fine. I was able to attached it fine. Only thing I noticed a problem in a product. My generate script for missing objects doesn't include the file group information. I compared two of my own databases and I found that even though my tables are created on specific filegroup, it generated scripts to create a missing table on another database without filegroup information. This could be a big problem.
-
The files are OK and the contest is OK too.
If anybody doesn't like it, then don't participate.
-
Any idea who the lucky people are ? in other words was I lucky enough to win this good tool ?
-
What was the result of this contest ?
-
I agree that this contest is nothing more than brainless advertising for RedGate's product which sucks in the first place, due to the fact that it never includes constraints such as Cascading Updates/deletes etc.
Just an opinion of a DBA that doesn't need RedGate's useless product to do his job.
