Hello. I just started using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I am creating a new table by right-clicking the "Tables" folder and selecting "New Table". Then i hit F4 to bring up the "Properties" (because I want to associate a Schema to the table, but when the "Properties" section appears, it's blank. I can't figure out a way to get anything to appear there. Any ideas? Thanks!...
View 2 RepliesHi all,
In my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)=>Object Explorer=>Databases, the "NORTHWND" database was screwed up and is deleted completely. But under the same Object Explorer =>Databases, there is a database "C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND.MDF". I need to use this "NORTHWND" database in the SqlConnection. How can I specify the "Initial Catalog" (or "database") in the New SqlConnection code statement (in the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming)?
Should it be like the following:
Dim sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnction("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND; Integrated Security=SSPI;") ? Or what is the right code statement for connecting to it?
Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

Hi all,
I ran the following CTE sql code:
Use ChemDatabase
GO
WITH PivotedTestResults AS
(
SELECT TR.AnalyteName, TR.Unit,
Prim = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'Primary' THEN TR.Result END),
Dupl = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'Duplicate' THEN TR.Result END),
QA = MIN(CASE S.SampleType WHEN 'QA' THEN TR.Result END)
FROM TestResults TR
JOIN Samples S ON TR.SampleID = S.SampleID
GROUP BY TR.AnalyteName, TR.Unit
)
SELECT AnalyteName, UnitForConc,
avg1 = abs(Prim + Dupl) / 2,
avg2 = abs(Prim + QA) / 2,
avg3 = abs(Dupl + QA) / 2,
RPD1 = abs(Prim - Dupl) / abs(Prim + Dupl) * 2,
RPD2 = abs(Prim - QA) / abs(Prim + QA) * 2,
RPD2 = abs(Dupl - QA) / abs(Dupl + QA) * 2
FROM PivotedTestResults
GO
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I got the following errors:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 9
Invalid column name 'Unit'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Invalid column name 'Unit'.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I guess that I had "Unit" (instead of "UnitForConc"), when I executed the sql code last time!!!???
How can I delete the old, wrong CTE that is already in the ChemDatabase of my SSMSE?
Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

I have an ODBC connection string that is working fine with the following properties:
Database="XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY"; strangely no server is specified in the string, but it is specified in the ODBC Connection file.
I am trying to do a new server registration in SSMS for this database.However, I don't understand where the network spec is placed.
Under Registered server name I've tried:
YYYYYYXXXXX
When I browse the server for the database instance list, I receive "network path was not found".
I even tried:"XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY" for the registered server name.Same error message.
What am I doing wrong ?
Can anyone help me with displaying several table properites at once. I know I can use sp_help 'tablename' to get one at time. What is the best method to get several databases at a time?

I've noticed that sometimes the # of rows specified in table properties tab is different from the # shown by select count(*) from tableA.
Why is this ?
(SQL 2k, sp2, indexed table)
Query #1:select <list of fields>from Cjoin B on C.b_key = B.b_keyjoin A on B.a_key = A.a_keywhere A.o_key = <some value>Query #2:select <list of fields>from Cwhere b_key in (select b_keyfrom Bwhere a_key in (select a_keyfrom Awhere o_key = <some value>))#1 (and other things with the same general pattern) are used inliterally thousands of places in this one client's system, and ismuch nicer to write, but seems to be rather slower than #2. Isthere any way to tweak the tables to tell the system somethinglike "hey, B, whenever you're joined to A, you should seriouslyconsider waiting for A to be filtered down to a manageable levelfirst"? And similarly for C/B.MS SQL 2000, SP3, 6.5 compat mode. These are set in stone untilwe upgrade the accounting software (highly non-trivial).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a hard copy of all the table definitions in the database and have not found a way to do so. The report would have all the columns for a partcular table and each property assigned to the column.
For instance Customers table has CustomerId, FirstName, LastName, Phone, etc. The CustomerId is PK, Identity, Auto Increment, BIGINT, NOT NULL. FirstName is NVARCHAR(30), NULL. LastName is NVARCHAR(30), NULL. Phone is NVARCHAR(20), NULL.
Can anyone point me to the right system function or sp to get this info?
Hi,
I have a MS SQL Server Express database wich I upsized once from MS
Access. I can connect to it and get/insert data but I can't update the
field properties.
I've used Access 2003, Visual Studio .Net and SQL Server Web Data
Administrator, but I can't change the properties of existing tables. I
cán add new tables and add their properties afterwards. Since I have a
lot of tables it would be too much work too recreate them all. So how
can I edit my existing tables?
I have looked on google and haven't found a query (as of yet) to perform this function.
Essentially I am using VB.NET with Excel and have a mapping between a worksheet and a table in my database. I wrote an import function to pull the data out of excel and put it into SQL Server but I want to try catching errors before i do that.
What is the SQL query to get column sizes from a table. Meaning in a table I have column1 that is allowed a size of int(5). How do i retrieve that information from a query opposed to just looking at it in SQL Server EM??
any help would be appreciated
thanks
Another Newbie here...sorry if this is an easy question:
How do I extract Table Properties (field names, type, length, PK/FK) from multiple tables and into an Excel spreadsheet?
Thanks in advance.
I'm kinda new to SQL. I'm trying to get a print out of a specific table and its columns and column types. Is there a specific command or code that I can use to accomplish this?.
thx,
Newbie.
Here's a table function that returns a table variable containing various file properties (creation date, size, etc.). The one limitation to remember is that it won't work with files on mapped drives; you have to use the full \<Server><Share><Folder1..Folder n><Filename> syntax. Still, it's a pretty useful thing to have around. :)

through MS SQL Server Management Studio I have a database defined as:
dbname
- Tables
- dbo.xyz
-Columns
Field definition_a
Field definition_b
Field definition_c
...
For each "Field definition" I can define "extended properties"
So the question is, from a stored procedure in C#, how can I read through the "Field definitions"
looking for an extended property of a specific integer value?

I store files in db in sql server 2008 by filestream. But when a column would be added to table which have filestream, properties of table would be changed. by every things change on table, retrieve files will faced to error. but store process work probably.
and filestream filegroup at following address will be empty. why?
Right click on table --> properties --> storage --> filestream filegroup
I'm wondering if there is some sql I can run to check properties on a table. This would be used to verify things like data types, allow nulls and default values have been set to avoid mistakes. This could be done manually one table and one column at a time, but it would be a lot easier to look at it in the results window.

Teratrax tool is nice (adds more features for scripting and file management) but thought we'd opt to stick with the free SSMSE for now.
Went to run SSMSE and it doesn't run. Pointer flickers once and then nothing happens. Okay, uninstalled Teratrax and tried SSMSE. No change. Uninstalled and re-installed SSMSE, followed by a reboot. No change.
Argh! Does anybody have any suggestions on what to look for to get SSMSE back in gear? It make life much easier for the green admin like myself and we need it for the interim.
Daggumit, frustrating!

Using
SQL Server Express with advanced Services
Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express
SQL Server Management Studio Express
.NET 2
ASP.NET
Problem
After using SSMSE on an IIS ASP.NET database created with VWD this error starts.
"Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET'. "
If I never use SSMSE, I never have a problem.
I have tried every single suggestion I could find and none of them solve the problem.
Luckily, I am only in the development stages so at least I'm not loosing data.
Development Path
Create VWD Project
Create Database and Tables
Write WebService for DB access
Create C# Project
Connect to WebService
Write project code
Use SSMSE
Attach Database
Do non-admin fuctions on the database(I only opened it to get the auto-generated code for sql statements such as creating Columns so I could do it on the fly)
Detach Database - Check mark the Close Connections
Back to the C# Project
Run the code.
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'machinenameASPNET'.
What is SSMSE doing to the database that the web service can no longer log into it?
From VWD you can still connect from the Database Tab.
I finally got so fustrated I just got the SQL Code to create the tables and made a function to create them
after I delete and recreate the database.
When I used Enterprise Manager it was very easy to import required tables from another server into my local MSDE server.
Now I am using SQL Express and SSMSE I cannot seem to find any other way of importing data other than creating the insert scripts manually which is a very painful and tediuos operation!
Can anyone advise if I have missed something and there is a way to import easily using SSMSE?
Thanks.......in hope
I've got a database on a shared server at www.dhosting.com
When I fire up management studio express providing the necessary info and hit connect, I get a nice error saying sql server is not able to accept remote connections by default. I ask dhosting support for a few hours. Chris gets back to me every 10 minutes or so. We then finally notice I'm running Vista. I go to my friend's xp. Fire up SSMSE and provide the exact same info and viola, works perfectly.
The xp and Vista machines both are running avast free edition and window firewall. In Vista, I've tried disabling windows firewall, nothing helps. XP handles it perfectly without any problems.
Any ideas?
hi friends,
I'll be thankful if anyone solve this problem.
When i developed my application, i used sql 2000 as a server side DB.
Now my client want to install MSDE instead of SQL 2000.
so i uninstall SQL2000 and installed MSDE .
AS we all know, MSDE doesn't have GUI. So i installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express - Community Technology Preview (CTP)
(includeing xmlparser,windows installer,.net 2.0).
now i could able to view tables and everything. but i couldn't make the connection. Getting error like "SQL server not found. CMPNAMEMSDERELA"
I used same kind of connection string for SQL 2000. Worked well.here what happened?
Connection String : "Data Source = CMPNAMEMSDERELA;Database =TEST; User id ="xxx; Password =xxxx;"
OS: Windows server 2003.
i used VB.NET to develop the apps. (VS2003). Connecting from Pocket PC.
kindly help me to solve this problem.
(Already i posted this in SQL tools forum. i hope this is the right place to post this question. so posting again.)

Hi all,
I've been running SQL Server 2005 for over three months, and have got the database up to speed. Using SSMSE for an interface.
I've have been trying to get the Intranet to link to the database (ASP), but after a little research i found we needed to change the Authentication from 'Windows Authentication' to a mix of windows auth and sql login. Needing to restart the server for the changes to take effect.
After the restart things started to go pear shaped.
Before the restart we were able to run queries from different clients at the same time (4 workstations). Now we are unable to access anything on the database if a query is running on a seperate client. As in table properties, running a query. As i've said, we were able to do this perfectly fine before the restart.
We also use other programs to generate records for the database. These programs now have difficulty connecting to the database. We've gone through the wizards and as far as we are aware things should be working. We have created extra username/logins for these programs so not one computer/client/program uses the same connection login. However, they are unable to connect even after the wizard says there is no problem connecting to the server.
Is there any *restore to factory/default settings* button? We've even tried reverting to Windows Authentication to try and solve the problem, but it didn't work, we're pretty dependant on the database for day to day operations.
Anyone with an idea as to what's wrong?
Thanks in advance
Gary.

I'm new to SQL Server and I'm using 2005 Express with SSMSE, and having trouble adding a record to a table "manually" by typing in the data.
I find I can change most of the fields by viewing the table in SSMSE and just clicking on the field and editing it then clicking "execute SQL" but for some reason the changes don't "take" when a date field is involved.
Is there a special or proper way to enter a date that I'm not aware of? I'm not having much success figuring out this online help stuff from within SSMSE, I keep getting to help on the help system itself (oops).
TIA!
In order to fix a web application bug the developer told me to to edit a stored procedure on my hosted SQL 2005 server. The hosting company's support say I should be able to do this using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I installed SSMSE, but it seems to want to only want to connect to a local server. Can I use this utility for remote DB management, or is there something else I need instead?
Thanks for your help.

Hello, friends,
here is my problem:
I installed sql server express on a naked Windows xp pro with SP2; of course, framework 2.0 installed, and MS-installer 3.1 installed as well. I also installed ssmse. Everything worked fine.
Then I installed all windows updates via Windows Update in internet.
Now suddenly, when starting ssmse, I get a Warning Textbox with Header "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express", then the yellow triangle with the exklamation mark, but NO TEXT AT ALL, and the OK-button. So unfortunately, I do not know what to do. Only thing I found out was, that in all updates, the culprit surely is framework 1.1 update. Before installing this, everything worked fine, afterwards, well, see above.
When I click the ok-button, everything works fine, I can log in into sql server express and do what I have to do.
So my only solution at the moment is just to ignore the warning - not the best way.
Couldn't find a better solution until now.
Could anybody help?
