I'm having trouble interpreting the errorlog for a
database which is behaving strangely.
Basically, after startup, it comes to start up
database 'JDE_Transactions' and the following appears in
the errorlog...
2003-08-04 12:00:07.51 spid10 Starting up
database 'JDE_Transactions'.
2003-08-04 12:00:07.51 spid10 Opening file e:\mssql7

....
This continues, with bursts of activity at different
intervals, until eventually...
2003-08-05 18:02:19.22 spid9 Starting up

2003-08-05 20:00:00.54 spid10 Starting up
database 'JDE_Transactions'.
2003-08-05 20:00:00.54 spid10 Opening file e:\mssql7
\data\JDE_Transactions_data.mdf.
2003-08-05 20:00:00.55 kernel udopen: Operating system
error 32(error not found) during the creation/opening of
physical device e:\mssql7\data\JDE_Transactions_data.mdf.
2003-08-05 20:00:00.55 kernel FCB::Open failed: Could
not open device e:\mssql7\data\JDE_Transactions_data.mdf
for virtual device number (VDN) 1.
At this point (I think), the database is marked as suspect.
Now, I have very little experience with SQL Server, but
this at first sight is a file access problem. What I don't
understand is all the open/close activity in the errorlog
over an extended period, during which the database is
accessible, and data can be retreived, seemingly as
normal - until the final errors re. failure to open
device.
Any ideas? I'd thought about doing some sort of check on
the files involved, but don't understand what the errorlog
activity is indicating. There can't be a permanent or
critical file/device access problem, otherwise the data
would never be accessible, and surely the db would fail to
open immediately.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
I should add that I'm running SQL Server 7.00.699 on NT 4.0
(1381).
Paul.It sounds like autoclose option is on for the database. Maybe when it's
closed, another process such as a virus checker is getting a handle on it
and confusing SQL when it tries to open it. You can switch off autoclose
using
exec sp_dboption 'JDE_Transactions','autoclose','false'

that's the problem resolved!
