Could you tell me what’s wrong in this phrase:
"In this database, there are failed copies of the file."
Is it grammatically correct to write "In this database" at the beggining of a sentence?
Thank you.

You can keep the original-
In this database there are failed copies of the file.
In this database, there are failed copies of the file.
or can rephrase it to-
- The failed copies of the file are in this database.
I think it's fine. Maybe you can drop that comma if you decide to say: "There are failed copies of the file in this database." Otherwise, I believe it's grammatically correct.
