MSDE Logging, did you know?

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Mssql$JDELocal\DataMSSQL$JDELOCAL\LOG contains a file called “errorlog”, which contains MSDE error messages.  That is pretty handy…  I was getting:

5788/3884 MAIN_THREAD                           Wed Jan 27 16:02:29.590001    Odbc_u1.c901
    ODB0000164 - STMT:00 [42000][945] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Database 'SPEC_PY812BF' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space.  See the SQL Server errorlog for details.

I stopped and started the JDELOCAL MSDE service and everything came up like a peach – but good to have a look through those logs.

I was getting this in the errorlog file:

2010-01-27 14:54:54.83 spid52    Starting up database 'SPEC_PY812BF'.
2010-01-27 14:54:54.83 spid52    udopen: Operating system error 2(error not found) during the creation/opening of physical device d:\e812\PY812\Spec\SPEC_PY812BF.mdf.
