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?
I have a list of movies that show throughout the year. I would like to assign a unique numeric identifier to each text field.
I have provided some sample data with the output I would like. The Movie_ID in the sample data is just made up, feel free to assign any numeric identifier, preferably of the same length but not a necessity.
Hi I'm using SSIS to export views & tables in SQL 2005 to csv files. My problem is that when I select that I want to use " as a text qualifier, it also uses them to surround non-text fields such as time/date and integer fields.
In SQL 2000 I used DTS packages and they handled the data without any issues.
I would like to export SQLServer data from a table to a text file within a stored procedure that is fired from an after insert trigger. In Oracle the is a UTL_FILE Package that does this. Is there any way to do this in a SQLServer stored procedure.
I'm using DTS to export a table. I need each record to be on a separate line, but I have a description field that is quite lengthy so it's not fitting on one line. Can someone advise how to accomplish each record being on only one line? :)
I am trying to find a convenient way to export parts of tables to text files.
One way I see is BCP: Is there a way to avoid writing the command and options into the command prompt by hand? I.e. a way to write the commands into a text file and then to execute them?
Are there other ways? I`d like to find a way that a user who uses a web interface can use.
Is there a way to send the text files via mail to a remote user?
I have a record set I have to export on a weekly basis into a CSV file for a customer/client. One of the fields being included in the export is a TEXT field. When I export this field, the CSV file is truncating the record significantly.
Is there a way I can get the export to pass all the data in the TEXT field, or is this a limitation on the data transformation, or is it a limitation on the CSV file (because of the size/nature of the TEXT field).
I have a button on my winform that is exporting a sql table to a text file. It works fine but I have a few fields that are date (not date/time) but when it exports it is adding a time. Is there a way to just export the date that is in the table?
This is what it looks like after it is exported.

This is the code I am running to export that SQL table.
Dim ds As New WebUpdateDataSet Dim ta As New WebUpdateDataSetTableAdapters.DataTable1TableAdapter ta.Fill(ds.DataTable1) Dim dt As DataTable = ds.Tables("DataTable1") Export("c:ftpalloneeaawww.txt", dt)
Here is my export code.
Public Sub Export(ByVal path As String, ByVal table As DataTable) Dim output As New StreamWriter(path, False, UnicodeEncoding.Default) Dim delim As String delim = "" ' write out each data row For Each row As DataRow In table.Rows delim = ControlChars.Tab
I have an application running on my mobile device and the data is stored in the mobile database. So now i am trying to build any application on my pc which upon click should download the data from my mobile database into a local text file. Is there any idea or reference where I can stary working on this ?
I'm having an issue with data from an OLE DB source being converted from numeric [DT_R8] to text when I export it to Excel. I had the column in the spreadsheet formatted as Numeric, but when I set it up as the data destination, it is showing in SSIS as [DT_WSTR].
The SSIS job runs OK, it just converts my numeric data to text in the spreadsheet. I'm surprised that the job actually runs, since I have to do explicit data conversions for my OLE DB string data in order to convert it to unicode. From what I have read elsewhere, the decision was made in SSIS not to use implicit data conversion, but to require explicit conversion. Yet this export is converting my numeric data to text. I would appreciate any information on how to set up the Excel Destination to properly handle numeric information.
I have to export the table data from my databse into text files as I nedd to put it in Informix database using a sheel script. Is there a way by which I can do this.
Is there any other way by which I can put the data from SQL Server to Informix.
Hi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's. In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this. How can I do this?
I was trying to export a report which contains a number format. When I do that, all the numbers in excel will have a green small tag beside it saying "Convert from Number to Text".
Is there anyway that I can change the format to a number when I export it to excel?
I am transferring data from Oracle tables into text files, and facing these errors.
1. I have a varaible working as an expression and my query goes into that variable and onwards that variable is passed to dataflow task, which parse the query. my query is simple saying "Select * from PLS.ABC" where PLS is my schema, but the task generates error "Opening a rowset for "Select * from PLS.ABC" failed. check that the table exists in the database. and surely the table is there.
2. I have a foreach loop that iterates through all the table names and the table names are passed onwards to the varaible query, the dataflow task inside the foreach loop gets the variable query and will generate text files based on tablenames which i have supplied in another variable to the connectionstring property of the flatfile destination. Is it possible or not. all the tables have different columns and i need the output in text files.
Getting ready for a system deployment tomorrow and looked at the Teratrax Management tool instead of the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). 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!
Thanks in advance of any advice or input provided.
Mmmmmkay. Yeah, did you get the memo about the TPS reports?
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!...
I have installed SQL Server 2k5 Express on my local machine. I also installed SSMSE on my local machine. When I try to launch SSMSE and connect to the SSExpress I get an error indicating that SSExpress is not configured to accept remote connections. Huh? Everything is local...I'm confused and frustrated. Any help is profusely appreciated.
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
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?
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.
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.)
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.
Hey guys, I am new to the SQL server scene and I am having some trouble connecting to a remote SQL Server with SQL Server Management Studio Express. I have the username, password, IP address, and port necessary to log in but am apparently not plugging them into the correct places. Can anyone at all point me in the right direction or somewhere that I might at least find the answer? I appreciate any help that can be provided.
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).
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?
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?
How can I know my sql server 2005 express service pack? The same goes for SSMSE. I can't find these information in the about box.
What about intelli sense for queries in SSMSE? Is it there yet or should I wait for sql server 2008 for dev. (http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=387069)? I haven't seen the video but does anyone know any details? When it will be available, is it part of the sql server 2008 CTP, will it be available in the Express edition?
Strange question here. When I script a user to be created for a database deployment, I get the following script:
USE [DatabaseX]
GO
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'newuser')
CREATE USER [newuser] WITHOUT LOGIN WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
Now, this creates the user at the 'DatabaseX' db level, but not at the 'master' db level. The user "newuser" is then not allowed access to do anything in 'DatabaseX', such as execute queries, update tables, etc.
I had to modify our script to be like this:
USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [newuser]
WITH PASSWORD=N'somepassword',
DEFAULT_DATABASE=[DatabaseX]
GO
USE [DatabaseX]
GO
CREATE USER [newuser] FOR LOGIN [newuser]
GO
USE [DatabaseX]
GO
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'newuser'
GO
This allows the "newuser" to execute queries, update tables, etc. in 'DatabaseX',
Is there some option in SSMSE that I'm missing when I'm having it generate my user scripts that it's leaving the rest of the script out?
