Attach db from installer (only read mode)

Hi,

I have made setup of my program,

I need to attach a db to the server. To do this:

- Copy mdf and ldf files into default data folder of instance of sqlexpress

- run scrip from custom action in the installer that:

a. attach the db

b. create login

c. create user for login in db

There is a problem...I run script slq file by sqlcmd and launch it from a c# process.

The rusult is that the db was attacched but in only read mode, and the point c not work.

If I execute manually the same script sql with sqlcmd in dos window, it work without problem in all point: a,b and c

What are the reason of this?

I think that start process in c# not work correctly....this is the code:

process = new Process();

process.StartInfo.FileName = "sqlcmd.exe";

process.StartInfo.Arguments = commandLine;

process.Start();

process.WaitForExit();

help me, plese!

thanks in advance

SInce you have posted this in Express forum, i strongly feel that you should use SQL Server Express User Instance feature. Its nothing but Embedded Database.

Refer this.

Assigning multiple values to a parameter in stored procedure

Hi:
How do you write a SQL statement in a stored procedure so
that it will allow you to assign multiple values to a
parameter?
For instance in this example below, depending on what the
users select on the front-end application, the values
assign can be one customer id value or multiple customer
id values:
Create procedure dbo.SP_Test
As @.CustID varchar(3)
Select * from tblCust where customerid = @.CustID
Please help!This is probably not the best solution but it should work
create procedure sp_test
@.cust_id varchar(50)
as
set nocount on
exec ('select * from tblcust where customerid in (' + @.cust_id +')')
go
This procedure would be called as sp_test '50' for one cust_id or sp_test
'50, 55, 100' for several cust_id's
