date doesn''t change on MDF or LDF

  • We had to detach and reattach our database on 7/29 - the system has worked fine, however, I just noticed that the dates aren't changing on the .MDF or .LDF files - how can this be possible ? where is the data going ?

  • Do you have multiple db files? Is the db being used and working?

  • We have 1 db and everything appears to be working fine. This is our accounting db so if it was a problem, we would have know long ago

  • I'd say you're fine... Seems you have all systems go.

  • wow..thanks, I was getting pretty nervous

  • Ya, those file are locked, I mean DEAD locked. You can't even copy them file they are attached. Maybe that cause some other side effects as this one.

  • files dates attached to sql server don't change if you are only manupulating data.

    the dates change only if:

    file is  expending.

    file is shrinking.

    stop or restart sql server.
