All- Can anyone recommend a tool that generates ER diagrams and allows for the integration of narrative text that describes tables, relationships, rules, etc?
My company uses SQL Server 2005.
Thanks.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a tool which can store SQL I/O and network/sec data. According to this historical data, I can decide whether upgrade my hardware.
Is there any free tool?

SQL Stripes is an application that helps you, the SQL Server DBA, having complete control over your various SQL servers.
From the high-level of monitoring essential components - to the low-level of analyzing your various databases, tables etc…
This is *not* another Query-Analyzer like tool, nor does it intend to be. The idea is that each one of your servers gets a 'Stripe' which contains valuable real-time data on the selected server.
SQL Stripes is an intuitive and easy to use application, which is intended to make your DBA life a bit easier.
SQL Stripes is completely free. Please send your feedback/questions/suggestions
Thanks and enjoy!
I have a Linux machine here at work that I do some development on, along with a few other tasks. It's also on my primary machine at home. Is anyone aware of a SQL Server Management suite that will run (natively - not in a VM) on Linux? I've used Aqua Data Studio in the past, but I would rather not have to pay for another License just for a part-time use.I'm not looking for a full suite of graphical utilities. If I could get the basic functionality of Query Analyzer (query window, object scripting, etc..), I'll be happy.I've googled around, and the pickings have been rather slim. The only thing I've found is something called Transact-SQL Analyzer (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlanalyzer/). I haven't tried it yet, but I'll give it a shot. Has anyone used it before? It doesn't make mention of 2k5 support, either.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was looking for a 'free' intellisense tool that will prompt me with options when I am writing stored procedures in SQL Server Studio. Very much like the intellisense in Visual Studio.
Does someone know about such a tool? I know there are tools of this type but they cost 600 to 1000 dollars for a single user.
HI
I am trying to find a pure web based backup restore tool that can be used on MS SQL 2000.
I have found a few that claim to be web based, but then it tells you to log into your MS SQL server and make some adjustments.
I know that microsoft Enterprise manager comes with a backup / restore tool. but 1) i dont want to have to install a complete copy of 2005 server, and 2) i dont hav ethe physical space to do it right now anyway. all i need to do is move 2 databases from one account to another.
thanks
HI There
We are required to gather certain information regarding reporting services.
Which reports were requested, by whom , how long did they run for, what parameters were passed etc etc.
I see that the system tables do provide some of this information, is there a 3rd party tool or something we can use to gather all this type of information for us?
This is for reporting services 2000 and 2005.
Thanx
Hello Friends,

Does anyone know of a T-SQL Reporting Tool that can be attached to either SQL 7 and/or 2000 databases.
I am looking for something similar to the Oracle 'Discoverer' tool.
The requirements are that users be able to create there own reports using a GUI with the minimum of prior knowledge of T-SQL.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I put a similar post on experts-exchange....
What I am looking to do is create a reporting framework that uses SQL Server and outputs as XML (only because that could be consumed by various clients).
I also want to create title, subtotals, etc., and even page breaks of I can.
I want to do this all in T-SQL so new reports can be added by DBA's rather than have the developer re-code, re-compile, re-distribute, etc.
I think on the DB side it would be as easy as creating a table that is a 'catalog' of available reports with their names, etc., and a set of stored procs that would run the reports.
Has anyone ever done anything like this, or in some better way?
Thanks.
I'm looking for a tool that can read the SQL Agent tables and generate a chart or graph of when jobs are scheduled. This could be used to determine when a job can be scheduled without interfering with other jobs, or to determine
where a maintenance window might exists.
The chart could be for a particular day, or week or month. It could be for a single database or all databases on a server. The tool could also read job history and display a graph of execution time (with success and failure displayed in different colors).
I don't know of anything like this in existence. I've looked at the stored procs supplied with SQL Server that help generate the data for the Enterprise Manager's GUI. I see thinks like the job schedule frequency information hardcoded in the stored procedure, instead of table driven. That's scary!
SQL Probe software is cool, but it doesn't do the reporting I'm looking for.
Was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that you can point to a view inthe database and it graphically (or even in text) determines thedependencies. At the moment I am manually going through a swag ofviews and putting them in visio org chart but there must be a betterway !

Hello all
I am trying to configure reporting services using the Configuration Tool. I get all checks green except for Encryption Keys (Blue), Initialization (Grey), and Email Settings and Execution Account (both Yellow). I am not too worried about the yellow and blue ones because I have read that other people have the same, but I was wondering how to make Initialization available to configure. I am running SQL Server 2005 - Standard Edition.
Thanks for the help,
S.R.

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust a general question about any recommendations for a third party tool that would allow setting up a data-dictionary against SQL Server tables and a user could go in and build their own queries, reports. Perhaps they could save their query/report definitions for reuse. Other nice to haves - ability to output to PDF and export to XLS. Would prefer web interface, but can consider desktop as well. Any immediate recommendations?
Thanks.
We've just rolled out Reporting services at our organisation, and the users love it. However, it's giving me a headache because, as the only developer in the company and as I have VS.NET, I'm the only one who can author the reports.
Does anyone know of a third party provider that has written a report writing tool with a straight forward UI ( a bit like the access report writer for example) that I can deploy to some users and let them run riot? It's the kind of thing that I expect someone will have done as a pet project, if anyone knows of a freeware version that would be even better.
I'd be very grateful for any pointers.
Thanks
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and reporting services (followed the video tutorial). Whenever I try to open the Reporting Configuration Tool, it gives me the following error:
SQL Server 2005 Reporting Configuration Tool has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience.
My only options are to Debug or Close.
I'm not sure why I am getting this error. Can anyone help?

I've been a developer for 20 some years, but never learned the design steps of a complex database. Can you give me a book or 2 to bring me up to speed with the latest database design and data modeling techniques?

Hi, I have a field in database that keep the image location. How to display the image in the report ?
Any idea.
Thanks.
I have a project with SQL sever reports in it. During a test upon returning to the VS 2013 Professional interface, the tool box area still had the previous information displayed and never returned to what should be there for the report design tools.I restarted VS, and the toolbox no longer looked like it did before. Specifically, the datatable tool among others was missing. I was unable to "refresh" the datatable after making changes to it.
I opened other Reports in design mode, and the tools did not show up for those either.The Report Items in the toolbox does contain things like Pointer, Text Box, Line and so forth.
Hi
I am having some trouble with our Veritas Backup Exec not properly releasing db backup files, & thus interfering with the deleting of old backups.
We have other servers still needing tape backups implemented and
I wonder if anyone has a good backup software/hardware system to recommend, that is ideal for database backups, & on the hardware side is reliable?
Anyone have any to recommend?
thx
