Hi..
Isnīt it possible to create sub folders in the solution explorer??
I have it hard time to create a decent structure inside the SSIS Package folder, since I have like 30 packages in my project. Is it just me being silly or cannot this be done?
Have a nice day

In RS, can one add a folder under the Reports folder? I don't see where I can do this. We work with many different state's and we would like to organize reports by state.
Thanks for the information.
I assume this is the best forum for this quesiton; if not, please direct me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHere's one thing that I'd like to see come out in some version of the SQL Server Management Studio...
The ability to create folders under the database node so that databases can be grouped on one server.
We have over 100 databases on our development server and these are created by a range of consultants and developers and even support staff as needed.
Being able to group the databases by product, etc would be a nice touch since we have client databases that don't fit naming conventions etc.
Multiple instances are another way around this but are expensive and resource hungry - we develop and support models, not use them for transactions too much.
Yes there are 'better' ways such as setting security correctly but we are too busy working and not maintaining.
Folders or database groups would be a nice touch.

I am a Visual Studio .net developer and understand Solutions and Projects in VS.net. Nevertheless, it appears that the paradigm of using Solutions Explorer in SQL Server is not exactly the same. That is, in Visual Studio you can't get anything done without creating a solution first. In SQL Server, it is entirely possible to get a lot done without a solution and the ability to create and make use of a solution seems almost an after thought or an add-on.
I am particularly interested in using a solution in SQL Server to allow me to make use of SourceSafe. In the past, we jumped through all kinds of hoops to keep a running trail of changes we had made to (for example) stored procedures. It appears now that this can be managed more efficiently with the use of a Solution and SourceSafe and saving scripts or .sql files. I guess it is not possible to save a pristine copy of a stored procedure directly in SourceSafe, but you can save the code that makes up the stored procedure as a .SQL file which I suppose is about as good.
Anyway, what I would like to know is whether there is a good white paper (or chapter in a book) on the philosophy behind Solutions and projects in SQL Server and how MS intends us to use them; perhaps something other than the cold facts from the documentation. I would appreciate something more that gives me the big picture on just how MS sees them being used in SQL Server so I can get the most out of them. I have the feeling that if I "get the vision", they are meant to be an integral part of SQL Server now and in the future.

Good afternoon,
This is a simple question....how can I order packages by name in solution explorer ? I have a solution with more or less 50 packages
and it's very ime consuming to find a package ! ehehe
Thanks everybody

When trying to create a data source in Solution Explorer the Provider is greyed out and only allows me to create a connection to a SQL server database although I can connect to an oracle database in Server Explorer

Hello,
When you create a Reporting Services project it by default creates two folders: Shared Data Sources & Reports. When I right click on the Reports folder in solution explorer in Visual Studio 2005 there is no option to add subfolders, I am simply left with handful of options adding report files. Is there a way to add subfolders to the Reports folder? I am going to be migrating over 40-50+ reports and it would be helpful to organize them into their own folders.
Thanks,

I'm stuggling to find information on how to use the Deploy menu within a project in solution explorer. I would like to understand how to setup modify and delete the attributes that affect the actions of the Deploy menu. How to set different settings so that I can deploy to a test server ad then later change it so that I can deploy to a production server.
All help is welcome.
Thanks
Hello all,
A simple one: How can I sort the packages in my project (in the solution explorer) in an alphabetical sort?
Thanks,
Liran
I've submitted a bug report for this, but I also want to be sure it's not my own installation.
In the solution explorer, when I drag a package (usually accidentally) to another spot in the list, it disappears from the list. If I try to re-add the package, it thinks the original already exists, and names the second one with a "(1)" suffix. I can work around this by moving the original package out of the primary package folder and then re-adding it through solution explorer, but that's a touch cumbersome.
I don't really have a question here other than perhaps validation of the issue. Thanks.
Here's the bug report if others experience the same issue:

Yesterday, SQL Server 2005 SP2 was installed on our DEV Server (Windows 2003 SP1 x86) and now I cannot right-click a package in the Solutions Explorer window in BIDS and Execute Package. When I do, I get the following error
===================================
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft Visual Studio)
------------------------------
Program Location:
at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DtsPackagesFolderProjectFeature.ExecuteTaskOrPackage(ProjectItem prjItem, String taskPath)
I know I could do this yesterday morning pre SP2. I've attempted this with a couple of different packages and solutions, so it is probably not a corrupt package (unless now they are all corrupt). I can execute in debug mode if I open the package first and then hit Start Debugging. However this is not always an optimal solution because I sometimes have many connected packages and sometimes what gets executed is not what is expected.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
If I run the below command, it clean up the files inside the folders but unable to clean up the folder and sub-folders older than 30 days. xp_ cmd shell ' forfiles -p "D:abcd" -s -m *.* -d -30 -c "cmd /c del /Q @path"'

Hi all,
I just realized recently that a database "XYZ" in the Object Explorer of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) is put in the Database Explorer of my VB 2005 Express for processing a Stored Procedure in executing the SELECT statements (not by using Input and/or Output Parameters) during the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming, then the content of the database "XYZ" is not in the SSMSE. How can I return the database "XYZ" from the DataBase Explorer of VB 2005 Express back to the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) safely? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!
-----------------------------------
The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
-----------------------------------
The above article is bogus and confusing.
This is rediculous!
This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!
Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time!
And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.
--------------------------
I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.
If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy.
I just simply could NOT get it to work.
You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question:
Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?
- NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO )
Then select the tables you want in the DataSet.
and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details
Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control
and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there.
Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes
and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets,
(a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database)
the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets.
YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM.
Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks,

I loaded an application to my server with the app_data folder intact in the application folder which is a sub folder of the root web.
Through my host enableing SQL somehow a second App_Data folder has been created in the root of the web and the db has been duplicated. Without a doubt this is causing a problem with the application not running correctly. The application is the asp.net membership app which is trying to read and write to the .mdf file.
Can we simply delete the App_data folder in the the root web or will this rebuild itself? Or do we need to edit the web config files?
How / Why did this happen?

Hi All,
I need to get access to stored packages. To do so I use
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application class.
There are methods: Application.FolderExistsOnDtsServer, Application.FolderExistsOnSqlServer
but I need to enumerate existed folders.
Are there something like: Application.GetFolders(String ParentFolderName) ?
I have searched in doc but there is not any useful except:
"To verify that the folder was created, the following Transact-SQL query selects all packages stored in the File System folder of the Stored Packages package store.
select * from sysdtspackages90 "
It is not suitable for me because I don't have permissions to access database
Thanks,

Apologies in advance for the newbie question. I'm new to Integration Services and am trying to build my first project.
I want to dynamically create folders based on the results of a stored procedure. The resultset is limited to one column but can contain multiple rows. (It returns a list of 8-character strings representing dates.) This returned value needs to be combined with the path where the new folders should be created.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I've run the stored procedure and put the resultset into a RecordSet Destination that uses a variable of type Object. (At least, I think I've done it correctly.) But I have not been able to figure out how to access this data to actually create the folders.
Thanks for the help,
Chris
HI, I have a Dbase Database stored in several subfolders. I allready made my connection with a sqldatasource and a gridview, and all works fine when i do a query with the tables in to root folder. The problem is when I try to include tables from the subfolders, the compiler send me a syntax error in the FROM Clausule
I Allready try this.
SELECT products.id, products.descri, condition.discount from products, clientscondition where products.line=condition.line
SELECT producst.id, products.descri, clientscondition.discount from products, clientscondition where products.line=condition.line
SELECT products.id, products.descri, condition.discount from products, condition in 'clients' where products.line=condition.line
SELECT producst.id, products.descri, clientscondition.discount from products, 'clients'.condition where products.line=condition.line
And many other different combinations. I would like to be helped if you know the correct syntax or a link where i can consult the syntax for VB.net and dbase with several folders
Another option a tried is having a query from 2 different datasources, but I donÂīt know how to make a reference to the 2 sqldatassources in a new one to be linked to the gridview

I see under databases in the object explorer of SQL Server Management Studio that there are two sub-folders: System Databases and Database Snapshots.
Is there a way to create other folders here? It would be nice to be able to group the various databases (ex. Samples).

Within my Report Manager, I have several folders, and I would like these folders to be only visible to certain users and groups. In the Active Directory I have DOMAINGroupName1. If I add this group to the folder I want them to have access to with a Browser role, when they open Report Manager they do not see the folder at all. Then I added the same group to the HOME folder also, but again they could not see their folder when they opened the Report Manager. If I add the Users of this group individually (DOMAINUser1, DOMAINUser2 etc) then they can see the folder and run reports just fine. This is not an ideal solution as groups will change over time and I don't want to have to keep adding and deleting members. Anyone got any ideas why they can't see their folder?
Thanks!
