SQL Server 2008 - DB failed to attach

  • SQL Server 2008 - DB failed to attach

    DB files are of SQL Server 2008. I reinstalled, but still I see the same error.

    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

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

    Attach database failed for Server 'WINDOWS7ULTIMAT\MONSTER'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

    For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=10.0.1442.32+((SQL_PreRelease).080529-2343+)&EvtSrc=Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExceptionTemplates.FailedOperationExceptionText&EvtID=Attach+database+Server&LinkId=20476

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

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

  • "The database version number for 2008 RTM and SP1 is 655." so you have to install proper version of SQL 2008, RTM or SP1

  • Please run SELECT @@version

  • Uninstall that and install the release version of SQL 2008. I don't know how you have a CTP still working, unless you're playing tricks with the system clock. All CTPs should have stopped working years ago.
