Arrange Items In Solution Explorer

Sep 20, 2007

Can the items, i.e. reports within the SSRS Report Designer Solution Explorer be arranged in a custom manner instead of being sorted alphabetically only?

Solution Explorer And SQL Server

Dec 12, 2005

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.

Hi..
Isn´t 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?

How To Add Subfolders To The Report Folder In Solution Explorer

Dec 17, 2007



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,
Flea

Solution Explorer Drag/drop Error?

Feb 19, 2007

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:

Can't Execute Package From BIDS Solution Explorer Post SP2 Install

Feb 20, 2007

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.

How Can I Return A Database From The DataBase Explorer Of VB 2005 Express To The Object Explorer Of SQL Server Management Studio

Mar 3, 2008

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,
Scott Chang

SQL Server 2012 :: Identify Sets That Have Same Items (where Set ID And Items In Same Table)

Feb 25, 2015

I am struggling to come up with a set-based solution for this problem (i.e. that doesn't involve loops/cursors) ..A table contains items (identified by an ItemCode) and the set they belong to (identified by a SetId). Here is some sample data:

SetIdItemCode
1A
1B
24
28
26
310
312
410

[code]....

You can see that there are some sets that have the same members:

- 1 and 10
- 2 and 11
- 7, 8 & 9

What I want to do is identify the sets that have the same members, by giving them the same ID in another column called UniqueSetId.

Re-arrange Columns After Pivot

Oct 1, 2013

I am workong on this Pivot select. At it is last part, I want to find a way to re-arrange the column order. Here is the test data:

if OBJECT_ID ('tempdb..#temp') is not null drop table #temp
go
create table #temp(b_date varchar(15), Gender varchar(5), Admin_date varchar(15), S_ID int, TEST_NAME varchar(5),SCHOOL_YEARvarchar(5), PART_DESCRIPTIONvarchar(15),Test_Score int)

[code]....

But the output requries the last couple columns to be SCHOOL_YEAR, TEST_NAME, i.e. they come after the scores.I thought the easiest way will be to select into #temp2, then extract from there. Even that, I couldn't get that to work with the select pivot.

Reporting Services :: Group And Sum Items / Sub-items Into One Record

Apr 10, 2015

I'm having an issue creating a report that can group & sum similar items together (I know in some ways, the requirement doesn't make sense, but it's what the client wants).

I have a table of items (i.e. products).  In some cases, items can be components of another item (called "Kits").  In this scenario, we consider the kit itself, the "parent item" and the components within the kit are called "child items".  In our Items table, we have a field called "Parent_Item_Id".  Records for Child Items contain the Item Id of the parent.  So a sample of my database would be the following:

ItemId | Parent_Item_Id | Name | QuantityAvailable
----------------------------------------
1 | NULL | Kit A | 10
2 | 1 | Item 1 | 2
3 | 1 | Item 2 | 3
4 | NULL | Kit B | 4
5 | 4 | Item 3 | 21
6 | NULL | Item 4 | 100

Item's 2 & 3 are child items of "Kit A", Item 5 is a child item of "Kit B" and Item 6 is just a stand alone item.

So, in my report, the client wants to see the SUM of both the kit & its components in a single line, grouped by the parent item.  So an example of the report would be the following:

Name | Available Qty
--------------------------
Kit A | 15
Kit B | 25
Item 4 | 100

How I can setup my report to group properly?

Re-arrange Of Tables (putting Them In Seperate Filegroups)

Jan 28, 2008



Hi!
I have a big database which need some separation
in multiple filegroups.

Therefore I plan to move tables to new filegroups.
As I can understand this must be done by
dropping the clustered index and
recreating it on new filegroup, then data will move.

1. best way to get a list of all clustered indexes (sys.indexes)?
2. how to get index scripts? (using SSMS, right click is manual task, but I need scripts for than 100 tables)
3. when having the scripts it should be easy to replace filegroup part
4. after movement: just shrinking old files?

Thanks for help ;-)

SOLUTION! - VB.NET 2005 Express And SQL Server 2005 - NOT Saving Updates To DB - SOLUTION!

Nov 30, 2006

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,

Can't See Server Explorer

Sep 18, 2007

Hi,

I just installed 2005 Evaluation version (high spec laptop but running Windows XP Home edition).

Have opened SQL Server Management Studio then set up a dummy database with a table and a query then tried opening the Server Explorer.

I understand that Server Explorer should be on the 'View' tab with, say, Object Explorer but I can't see it.

Does the fact I am running this on XP Home edition have anything to do with it? Or do I need to run another SETUP.EXE or configure some options or is it something else?

When I installed SQL Server 2005 I got one error message saying:

quote:- IIS Feature Requirement (Warning)
Messages
IIS Feature Requirement

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online.

Does Server Explorer need IIS to be running in order to work?

Help will be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
