tried to attach a database in sse-ms, and for some reason the database name is changing to G:\someFolder\some\Folder\db.mdf, even tho i dont have a drive g:,
during "attach as" screens inside sse-ms, , ie attach>add> then select the database the mdf loction is what it is suppose to be ie C:\inetpub\wwwroot\app_data\chp11\wroxunited.mdf but the database name in the same screen shot is G:\someOtherFolderAndPath\wroxunited.mdf and the attach as is also the G:\someOtherFolderAndPath\wroxunited.mdf.
pretty confused, could use a clue, thanks
my data entry error above, the mdf locattion in the sse-ms attach area/screen is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\chp11\app_data\wroxunited.mdf, the rest of the intial post is ok tho,
anyone know if the log file (ldf) is causing this problem, chp11 came in a download form the wrox book site btw.
|||hmm found a work around, ie just deleted that database from within sse-ms, had a backup of the mdf so wasnt to worried, anyway after deleting the mdf that had the G:\WrongPath\db.mdf, i was able to attach the desired database and the mdf location, the database name and the attach as are now all correct, still kinda interested in what caused that but i am
now, thanks people, have a lot to learn about sql and permission tho,
