Dont worry if SSMS not support attaching FILESTREAM enabled databases

SQL Server 2005 introduced the unstructured data types VARCHAR (MAX), NVARCHAR (MAX) and VARBINARY (MAX). And later on File stream features came with 2008.

We are using SQL Server version 2012 and unfortunately I would like to say to Microsoft doesn’t given option to attach File-stream Enabled Database from SSMS. Mostly this requires when trying to migrate DB or system or doing some DR activity or maintenance activity. If you will try to attach from SSMS then it may give some errors like below …

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

------------------------------

An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details.

------------------------------

BUTTONS:

------------------------------

But don’t worry just try below query to re-attach db..

USE [master]

CREATE DATABASE <DBNAME> ON

( FILENAME = N'LOCATION\name.mdf' ),

( FILENAME = N'Location\name.ldf' ),

FILEGROUP FileGroup CONTAINS FILESTREAM DEFAULT

( NAME = N'filesname', FILENAME = N'location' )

FOR ATTACH

Just re-fresh the db explorer, soon you will see Database but in read-only mode.. Now give below query...

ALTER DATABASE < DBNAME> SET READ_WRITE WITH NO_WAIT

Hope this queries will resolve your issue, like my issues get resolved and enjoy happy moments.

Thanks

How to encrypt and decrypt Table data in postgres

For encrypting and decrypting , we must use the bytea data type on the column which we implement. Bcoz bytea will use the pgcrypto method by default. However, you will need to create the pgcrypto extension to enable these functions as they are not pre-defined in PostgreSQL/PPAS. Example CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; CREATE TABLE userinfo (username varchar(20), password bytea); >> Inserting the data in an encrypted format INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES(' suman ',encrypt('111222','password','aes')); select * from userinfo ; >> Retrieving the data as decrypted format SELECT decrypt(password,decode('password','escape'::text),'aes'::text) FROM userinfo; Thanks for reading Plz dont forget to like Facebook Page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sql-DBAcoin/523110684456757

SQL71562: external references are not supported when creating a package from this platform

Last week I got this error from one of developer who was trying to deploy his project from Testing server to SQL Azure QA server. He was using “Deploy Database to SQL Azure” option from SSMS Tool-Task option. After connecting to SQL Azure portal when operation started to deployment below errors occurs. Validation of the schema model for data package failed. Error SQL71562: Error validating element xx.xxx.xx:function .dbo.xxx has an unresolved refrence to object xx.dbo.xxxx external refrences are not supported when creating a package from this platform . Reason: The reason of the this error was; some functions of project was dependent on master database and only single database was being deploy to SQL Azure. DACFx must block Export when object definitions (views, procedures, etc.) contain external references, as Azure SQL Database does not allow cross-database external references So, this error was coming. Solution : I suggested him to create those function to locally
