From the message - "another program is using this file" - it's clear that your DB is still attached to the SQL Server. To move it you need to detach it. But for that you need to connect to the server.
When you connect to your 'new' installation, can't you see the 'old' database in object explorer? You should actually have access to the complete database and not need to recreate anything...

What do you mean when you say you're unable to access SQL Server? Lost your password?, or is it some other error you're getting. Are you the owner of the montioned database?
You have two options here
1) Try solving your existing problem and backup the database.
2) Stop the SQL Server Service, copy the mdf and ldf to a different location and do your reinstall. Once you have the new instance up, you can try attaching the mdf, although I seriously doubt if it'll succeed. It's a gamble you've to take.
location but it says "another program is using this file"-This is not true
This actually might mean that your SQL Server instance is still running. Try figuring out what's wrong with your login or post the error you get here.

I did this and am going to reinstall my SQL server 2005.I hope while attaching it will work.Any way at this point i think we have to take that risk since we dont have any other options.
I will try this and will post the effects.Please be in this loop.
Many Thanks

I am trying to come up with a query to determine the structure of a table. So far I have come up with the following query:
SELECT SC.name, SC.length FROM syscolumns SC
inner join sysobjects SO on SO.id = SC.id
where SO.name = 'Customers'
The problem is that the "length" column is twice the size it should be.
Is there a flaw in my query or do I just have to divide the "length"
by two?
Thanks

Assuming you are using sql server 2000 or later try this:
select * from information_schema.columns<br />
where table_name = 'Customers'
It gives you all the information about the table structure.
Hope this helps

What I ended up doing is creating a command to execute the following
Select top 1 * from Customers
Then
DataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
DataTable dt = dr.GetSchemaTable();
The resulting DataTable contains all of the information I need.
Thanks

Thats one way 
Even better would be
Select * from Customers where 1 = 2
Which will give you an empty table and use less resource on the server

This is best handled outside of TSQL since arrays are not a native element in SQL. Therefore, nothing to split the string into.
You can cludge a query using CHARINDEX and SUBSTRING. You will need to add some CASE statements to deal with any missformed data.

Right now I am exporting from SQL 2000, importing this into Access 2003 exporting out to Excel 2003 parsing the data with macros and re importing to Access to run my reports wanted to reduce all the importing and exporting if possible to speed up the process....

It can be done - it will be quicker. The code will be look clumsy.

try this, I guess it will help you.
<br />
select *,left(raw_payload,charindex('+',raw_payload,1)-1),<br />
left(substring(raw_payload, 1-len(left(raw_payload,charindex('+',raw_payload,1)+1)), <br />
len(raw_payload)),charindex('+',raw_payload,1)* charindex('+',raw_payload,1)-1 ),substring(right(raw_payload,charindex('+',raw_payload,1)*3),charindex('+',right(raw_payload,charindex('+',raw_payload,1)*3),1)+1,len(raw_payload))<br />

The left works all the way down the right starts to include the middle and the + sign delimiter,
The data as it goes down increases the characters and some times it has bad data or junk I would like it to delete if it does not match the standard. field one descrption=text field two usage=number and field three adjustables=numbers
Below are the want it and the way it is...

I'm not sure how to answer this because you just write multiple queries in the stored procedure. If it makes you feel better you can put a semi-colon between each query.
|
|
|
|
|
You can do something like:
Create Proc up_Maintain (@mode char(1))<br />
if @mode = 'a'<br />
begin<br />
....code to add<br />
return<br />
end<br />
if @code = 'd'<br />
begin<br />
....code to delete<br />
return<br />
end<br />
begin<br />
....code to update<br />
return<br />
end
However this is bad practice as the optimiser will optimise for the first time the proc is run. An accepatable alternative is to have a proc like this, but keep the add/delete/update procs and just call thme from the controlling proc, but you gain nothing.
As far as I can see there is nothing to be gained from merging the procs together, but there are potential performance issues, so they should be kept independantly.
Hope this helps

I have a nasty little job where I have a CSV table with 50+ cols which will grow (1-2 per year)
The last 44+ cols are in sets of 3, where AttibuteName changes but the date fields do not.
AttibuteName, Start_Date, End_Date
Therefore the columns are not unique and their number is not stable.
At this point SSIS seems to have a serious issue, however this could be resolved if the import method created cols based on the cols in the source file. I'm quite happy to have the labels in the 1st data row and all data to be varchar as I can deal with this in TSQL but dynamically mapping the new columns is the issue.
Ideally I would like to drop the table(no problem)
Bulk copy into a new table based on the source file
Rename the destination file (no problem)
Process the datavia stored proc (no problem)
I have written an app which does exactly what I want but it is a manual thing and I really want to automate this. Having told the boss that writing ETL apps for each module is wrong, I need to clean this one up.
TIA
