View 6 Replies View RelatedHey All,
I'm new to the whole DB thing so I wanted to start off easy and download SQL Express. That part worked fine so I tried to install the Adventure Works DB to get some practice using the SQL commands. The problem is every time I click on a table in Adventure Works and choose Open Table I get a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio box that pops up. The error says: Class Not Registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
(Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlTools.VSIntegration)
Help!! Any ideas out there how to get the Adventure Works DB working? Thx much.
after running msi, can't open this solution

Hello Everyone,
I am very new to SQL and just completed an install of SQL 2005 Express. After install, I downloaded the Adventure Works database and attempted to attach through both the Object Browser (right-click 'Databases'--->'Attach') and by running the script that is located on the SQL download page where I got the Adventure Works db.
Here's the error that I get:
"Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 8, object ID 1, Index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes."
I have attempted to go through the help files, but unfortunately the above message is too cryptic for me and I have no idea what it's telling me.
Can someone help?
Thanks!!
I was studying the Adventure Works database because I read it contains good examples of best practices.
It has an ID column for each table that is auto-incrementing Primary Key. There is also a row guid which seems redundant since the ID PKs are identity columns that increment automatically and should be unique in a given table.
What is the purpose of the row guid being used in conjunction with the ID which should be unique in a given table?
Hi, all here,
I am trying to locate the solution file for the Adventure works DW included as part of the installation of SQL Server 2005 to be opened in Business Intelligence Development Studio, But where is the solution file saved? I can see its database from Management studio but I need to know its solution file to locate it in Business intelligence studio. Please could anyone here give me some idea about that. Thanks a lot in advance for any help and guidance for that.
I have got sql server developer 2014 64 bit, but i cannot attach the adventure works 2014 or 2012, keeps giving me errors. so is their an exe file or another way to install this to the database.
Using windows 8.1 64 bit enterprise, jaws 16, and sql server 2014 developer 64 bit.

All,
I'm running Windows Xp Pro With SQL 2005 Dev edition with Adventure Works sample db installed. I am the local administrator on my desktop, the services are up and running and I specified local connections only since this is the DEV edition of SQL05.
When I try either one of these connection strings: Data source=(SQLDEV05); initial catalog=AdventureWorks or Data source=(local); initial catalog=AdventureWorks.
I receive this error message:
TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer
-----------------------------
A connection cannot be made to the database.
Set and test the connection string.
----------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)

I am trying to create a Adventure Works Tabular cube in my developing machine and im having problems deploying the tabular cube (the DW database was firstly attached without problems)
So I'm having problems processing Adventure Works Tabular Cube, the problems are somewhere between SSAS project configuration and running privileges, i think. I'll describe exactly where i am:
- in SSMS 2012, connections, tables and roles and roles are empty, i only have the full name of the database when I try to process i get an error "the table with id of "product category 92583829......", Name of Product Category refereced by the model Cube, does not exist. An error ocurred when loading the model cube, '?c:program filesmicrosoft
sql serverMSAS11.MSSQLSERVEROLAPDataAdventureWorks Tabular model SQL 2012.0.dbModel.21.cub.xml'. (Microsoft AnalysisServices.)"
- in SQL Server configuration Manager, I have
Sql Server (MSSQLSERVER) running with account NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER
Sql Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) running with account .L.ABCDE , which is my account, i've changed because i've read somewhere that i could have problems with privileges.
(Note: it's strange because SSAS is tabular, i can see a blue rectangle (sort of) in SSMS but in configurator manager seems to be a cube.)
- in SSAS Project i unzip a clean copy of the project and the first error is that BIM file can't be found, it try's to find server TOSHIBA_S50_BTAB, but as i have only tabular SSAS running, i replace for TOSHIBA_S50... And some time ago it worked, now it doesn't even found TOSHIBA_S50_B?!!!!
When installing SQL Server 2005 Express and using an .ini file that looks like this,
SECURITYMODE=SQL
ADDLOCAL=ALL
SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1
SQLAUTOSTART=1
INSTANCENAME=DBSERVER
SAPWD=Westtech#1
sometimes the sa password is set correctly, while other times it is not. There does not appear to be any particular environment or system setting when it fails vs. when it works.
We are coming up on a release date and this is causing us a serious problem. Can anyone help?
Thank you,

Hi
I have three questions about several topics.
In this code:
public string ConnectionString
{
get
{
return "Provider=MSOLAP.3;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW";
}
}
What is data source and initial catalog and what does this code do? And if I want to use other database how can change this code? (This code is for data mining viewer client project)
And in this code:
SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=True");
SqlCommand cm = new SqlCommand("Select AddressID,AddressLine1 from Person.Address", cn);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
da.SelectCommand = cm;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
this.comboBox1.DisplayMember = "AddressLine1";
this.comboBox1.ValueMember = "AddressID";
this.comboBox1.DataSource = dt;
what is comboBox1.DisplayMember and comboBox1.ValueMember ,and what is difference between those ?
and other question:
in adventure works dw project for data mining predicting ,in forecasting model ,if I want to show the result of this query in the combobox in c# how can I show that?
SELECT
PredictTimeSeries(amount)
From
[Forecasting]
And again in this code ,it has a result which has two culomns ,on of them is for amount and other column is for time ,in sql I can save this result in exsiting table or neew table with wizard,but I want to
Do this work in c#,that€™s mean with a adomdconnection I connect to forecasting model and write this query then in a datagridviwe ,Iwant to see the values of prediction in adventure works dw database.
Other question:
In €œdataminingviwerclient€? project I change this code and you can see it,for this code I have a form that give servername and catlogname in that and then with clcking on a button I want to show the chart of model in a child form ,but I can€™t.
public Form1 form1 = new Form1();
public string m_ServerName;
public string m_CatalogName;
public Form3()
{

Thanks a lot for your answers.With best wishes for you
I am trying to delete tables from data where the ModifiedDates older than 9 years in AdventureWorks2012 database .

Hi,
Can someone tell me where I can download the "SQL Server 2005 BI Metadata Samples toolkit"? Seems the old ulr doesn't work right now.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
Today, I download SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence Metadata Samples Toolkit from Microsoft download center, per readme.txt instructions, build the project, but there was an error as below:
Error 1 The project could not be deployed to the 'localhost' server because of the following connectivity problems : A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. To verify or update the name of the target server, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, select Project Properties, click on the Deployment tab, and then enter the name of the server. 0 0
After then, I just build the project,but didn't deploy it, then I try to launch
DependencyAnalyzer console application, there was also an there:
Error occurred: A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
Are you success on this Toolkit?
Thank you in advance.
I'm having a strange problem with this but I know (and admit) that the problem is on my PC and nowhere else. My firewall was causing a problem because I was unable to PING the database server, switching this off gets a successful PING immediately. The most useful utility to date is running netstat -an in the command window. This illustrates all the connections that are live and ports that are being listed to. I can establish a connection both by running
telnet sql5.hostinguk.net 1433 and
sqlcmd -S sql5.hostinguk.net -U username -P password
See below:

Both these utilities show as establishing a connection in netstat so I am able to connect the database server every time, this worked throughout yesterday and has continued this morning.
The problem is when I attempt to use SQL Server Management Studio. When I attempt to connect to tcp:sql5.hostinguk.net, 1433 nothing shows in netstat at all. There is an option to encrypt the connection in the connection properties tab in management studio, when I enable this I do get an entry in netstat -an, see below:
TCP 81.105.102.47:1138 217.194.210.169:1433 TIME_WAIT
TCP 81.105.102.47:1139 217.194.210.169:1433 TIME_WAIT
TCP 81.105.102.47:1140 217.194.210.169:1433 TIME_WAIT
Amost as if it's trying the different ports but you get this time_wait thing. The error message is more meaningful and hopefull because I get:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I would expect this as the DNS has not been advised to encrypt the conection.
This is much better than the : Login failed for user 'COX10289'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) that I get, irrespective of whether I enter a password or not.
This is on a XP machine trying to connect to the remote webhosting company via the internet.
I can ping the server
I have enabled shared memory and tcp/ip in protocols, named pipes and via are disabled
I do not have any aliases set up
No I do not force encryption
I wonder if you have any further suggestions to this problem?
I would like to have more info on UserInstances concept of SQLExpress 2005.
Can i find any code samples for this feature in MSDN.

I have created a linked server on which following query works fine.
EXECUTE ('SELECT TOP 10 * FROM dummyOBJECTS') AT [REMOTE]
but the same statement executed with openquery
select * from openquery([remote],'select top 10 * from dummyObjects') returns following error.
Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "remote" supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. The column "dummyObjectID" (compile-time ordinal 1) of object "select top 10 * from dummyobjects" was reported to have a "Incomplete schema-error logic." of 0 at compile time and 0 at run time.
When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

I've got a popular problem so i get a message that server acces denied! ..
But that what is different in my error.... When i use same setting same database and connection string (on MSDE server) there is no problem...
On SQL server i have got windwos authentication but i added all accounts as ASPNET and SA.... and when i try to connect by
RETTO - name of my server
server=RETTO;uid=sa;pwd=password;database=db1;
or by
Integrated Security=SSPIserver=RETTO;uid=RETTOASPNET;database=db1;
I CAN BROWSE RECORDS THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH CONNECTION!!! but when i try to update or iinsert or delete something in database there becomame this error that access denied or server does not exist!!!
PLEASE HELP I'm FIGHTING WITH THAT FOR OVER 5 DAYS!!!
I MADE FOR MY ACCOUNTS (SA, ASPNET) ALL THINGS ALLOWED AS EXECUTING stored procedures.. OR ACCESING datatables with insert delete and update query WHERE IS THE PROBLEM!!!??
I just installed sql server 2005 and trying to pick it up before I start a new job as a developer using sql server 2005. The problem is that I have three instances installed, the one that works was installed prior to installing sql server 2005 when I installed System Architect a CASE tool which utilizes sql server for its encyclopedias.
My initial installed I used the default settings with the default instance and that does not work. I later ran set up again and installed another instance and that does not work. For some apparent reason the POKIN10SQL instance is over riding everything rendering every other instance non-functional.
When I try to connect to the one of the other instances, the error message is
"An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connection to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL does not allow remote connections. (Provider Network Interface, error: 26 - Error locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)"
I don't think the remote connection is the problem as I went into the properties settings and checked the connection settings and allow remote connections is checked.
In terms of locating the instance, I installed SQL Server as specified in the handbook ... with the default instance and then a named instance.
Something seems to be wrong with the POKIN10SQL instance which was installed with System Architect, I need System Architect so I need a work around rather then an uninstall.
Can someone help please?
Most of my packages that I've created in BIDS will NOT run in SQL Server 2005. The simplest one that I have fails during a script task that calls external managed code. I've done all the steps outlined in "Referencing Other Assemblies...", but I'm still getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Here's a sample of a script that's having a problem. The line in green is the one that seems to be cause of the error. This is extremely frustrating. This code will even run from a command line console without error. Why is it so difficult to deploy one of these projects with managed code?

Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,
Ieyasu
Hi all,I'm having a big problem here. I can't seem to connect to a database of MSSQL Server 2005... Here is what I've did:1. Under the Server Explorer>Data Connections. Right click and choose "Add Connection..."2. Data Source was "Microsoft SQL Server Database File". Click OK.3. I browse to the database in the MSSQL.2/MSSQL/Data folder.4. Click on the "Advanced" button, and change the default DataSource from .SQLEXPRESS to .MSSQLSERVER. Click OK5. Received this error:An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid) Only .SQEXPRESS that I was able to connect to... i've tried the solution from Microsoft, opened SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration and enabled "Local and remote connections", checked the option "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" but it didn't help. This is frustrating because I can't get the Membership provider, login to work on my host. Please help. Thank you very much,Kenny.

I created a Product database table using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have just added a new column [Picture] to the database table, which of course, should store an image or picture of a product. I am writing to kindly ask you guys for help .
i) How do I include image files into this column [Picture]?
ii) How do I get this image to display on Visual Basic 2005 Express form, so that when a product is selected the product image is displayed accordingly?
Your help much appreciated. Thanks.
