Can't Add Database To Projects
Sep 12, 2006
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=497273&SiteID=1
I have gone through the above and, while I can connect to the sql server and activate connections, I can not add a sql database to a project.
Open a project
Right click - add new item
Choose sql database
or
Add existing item
choose existing sql database
results in:
"Connections to SQL server files (*.mdf) require sql server express 2005 to function properly blah blah blah"
Like I said, I can connect to the DB through the server explorer and view table definitions and data. I just can't add one to a solution. I have reinstalled sqlexpress already and am trying to avoid having to reinstall visual studio.

When I open BIDS it displays a list of "Recent Projects". How can I edit (or delete) items from this list? (Over time the list has acquired a lot of junk est projects that I no longer need).

I have inherited a database and looking to upgrade it from 2008 to 2014. I have imported the database into db projects but it has flagged warning s straight away because one of the previous contractors has created a bunch of stored procs with encryption.

I would like to spend as much time as I can working on SQL projects but my daytime job doesn't exactly call for it. My end goal is to be MS SQL DBA certified and hands on skills will help me get there.
Is there a website where I could offer my time and skills to work on SQL projects - DB design, scripting, development, admin, etc - I would offer my time and sklls for cheap or free in exchange for the experience.
Thanks,

I guess the Subject line sums it all up, but I need some experienced explanation of what do a solution and a project represent, and how do I use them to my advantage.
Is a solution an entire database? If so, how can I create a solution from my existing databases?
Are either of them a way to collect together scripts etc which will be run against a production database when the solution is rolled out?
What is a project? Is it a single set of scripts related to an upgrade to a database? If so, can it be executed as a single entity? How is the sequence of execution controlled?
And so on and so on....
2005 is such a step backwards for DBA's with all the features we used to have and now don't. If it wasn't for the fact that MS will eventually stop supporting 2000, I frankly see no incentive to upgrade myself.
Ok, OK, flame off.
Can anybody suggest some resources which might give me some insight into these questions?
Thanks,
-Rob

I'm creating an application to track project issues. I would like to have the issue number start over at 1 for each project. I would like to have the issue numbers assigned to each issue in sequential order for each project. Below is a brief example of what I need it to do. I don't know where to even start to try to figure this out. Thanks
ProjectNumber, IssueNumber
TEST0001, 1TEST0001, 2TEST0002, 1TEST0003, 1TEST0003, 2TEST0001, 3TEST0004, 1TEST0003, 3TEST0002, 2TEST0005, 1

I have a column called line_number and a column called projectid's.
I need to count count the projectid's as they occur in the line_number
column.
This is how I need the columns to look.
projectid line_number
111 1
111 2
111 3
222 1
222 2
I have written a cursor to get all the data into the table. But not sure how to get this column to count distinct projectid's.
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks again,
Dianne

I have recently switched to SQL 2005 and have been following this guide to create a new DTS project.
The only problem is the "Data Transformation Project" option does not show in my list of available 'templates'.
I double checked the install using the add/remove programs feature to update the installation -- all components under the business intelligence section are installed.
Here is the step by step of what I am doing:
1. Launch SQL Server Business Intelligence Development studio.
2. File --> New Project
3. Under the Business Intelligence Projects I am looking for Data Transformation Project but do not see it listed.
Here is what I do have:
Analysis services project
Integration services project
report model project
import analysis services 9.0 database
report server project wizard
report server project
Anyone know what the problem is/where I can find DTS?
Thanks,
Zoop

Hi,I wanted to know if Access Data Projects is a good option to choose fora SQL Server Database Frontend. The other option is C#.The database will be accessed by multiple users (around 100 users) on aLAN. ADP looks viable coz the users are used to working on a MS accessdatabase.Please post your replies with reasons as to why you think your choiceof f-end is betterCheers!

I'm trying to open an Reporting Services project in Sql Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (which looks a lot like Visual Studio 2005). This project was copied from another computer where it runs normally. I get the following error when trying to open it...
Package Load Failure
Package 'DataWarehouse VSIntegration layer' has failed t load peoperly (guid = etc..). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible enfvironment corruption. Would you like to disable loadinug for this package in the future? you may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.
I also tried to create a new Reporting services project and I got the following error....
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer, Version=9.0.242.0...blah blah.
Some of my research so far says the first message could be related to having ran a beta version of vs2005 on this system which I did. However the ordinary vs2005 asp.net project appear to run normally.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks,
Gary

We use SQL Server 2000 on the back-end of our directory web site and ASP on the front end which works fine. However, for my own uses (since I don't create the asp and have to pay a programmer), would it be better to set up an Access 2003 project for my own data entry forms, standard reports and quick searching?
What would be the negatives of this approach. Remember, this is just for me.
Thanks in advance,

Hey All,
I'm tring to figure out the best way to organize my reports.
When I create a new Reporting Service Project throught the 2005 .NET IDE, I'm allowed to have 1 folder in the project to deploy to. I've tried adding folders under the default Reports folder, but I haven't found a way to do this. I'd like to be able to add more directories so I can deploy them right to the server, and they will be in the proper folders, with the correct access rights.
A developer here has offered the approach of One Report - One Project. I don't want to do this because the reports have so much in common, like datasources, that I don't want to be flipping back an forth from one project to the next.
I did also look to see if there was a way to assign a dircetory to each report, rather than the project level, but I didn't see way to do that. I also, tried to add folder through the Windows Explorer and see if I could get around this restriction, but no luck there either.
Anyway, How is everyone else organizing they projects?

Say I created a new ssis Project and allowed the project to created a subfolder .. say both the project and subfolder are called x123.
I now want to rename the project to "Mycompany.MyProject" and want to remove the subfolder.
Possible?
Trying to avoid this, I made a copy of the parent folder, and manually tried to copy and paste all objects .. but am getting errors with connection manager entries.
Thanks for any help or information!

Hi all,
I just installed Visual Studio 2008 in my machine and removed VS 2005 as I thought it wasnt needed anymore. However, my Business Inteligence studio for SQL Server stopped working now...I understand that I can reinstall VS 2005 to get everything back up and running, but whats the whole point of upgrading to a newer version if its not backward compatible?
So, is there anyway to create/open business intelligence projects in VS 2008?
Thanks

I need to move SSIS packages from our development server to our production server. I need to move those projects in a manner that would allow me to modify them on the destination server. The build option seems to move an executable only. Is there a way to move the entire package to another server?

Hi,
We are using Microsoft Reporting Service 2005 to develop reports. The
reports are pointing to the Analysis Services database.
We want to move the report project developed to another machine. Basically
we want to deploy the reports at the client end.
I have found the below url that mentions the steps for SQL Server 2005
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842425
Is this the only way to acheive the needed functionality or is there any
command line utility available that does this? or any other
simple procedure to do this?
We want to give the client, simple instructions to deploy the report project.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

We receive data files from different external customers, and these files have identical layouts.
I'm planning to set up a package for each customer. Each package will contain a flat file source -> OLEDB transformation dataflow, (followed by other customer-specific data flows).
What I'd like to do is just create this dataflow once, parameterising the flat file and table names. Is it possible to include this dataflow in each customer package so that if the flat file layout changes, I can just modify the connection managers in the one place, and then recompile each package to pick up the changes?
Any advice appreciated.

I have a limited selection of projects.
I want to be able to create business intelligence project for reporting but the business intelligence project option is not there when I go to file/new/project.
When I first installed visual studio I chose visual basic/web development as the preference would this prevent other project types from being displayed?

Hi all,
I want to create a new Business Intelligence project by using Visual Studio 2005. However, I cannot find that item in the menu.
Is that necessary to install SQL Server 2005 in order to make that project type present? Or are there any other way to create a new project of that type?
Thanks!!

I would like to create a set of packages which could be used as a basic package for other people. This package /project/solution should be used in a way that another a person could manipulate it in BIDS nad save it as a stand-alone package.
I already created some child packages and one package which should act as a "template" for developing a new package. The devloper should integrate existing child packages very easily.
All developers will share the same network directoy where all the solutions/projects/packages will be stored (which is not a problem to realize it) But how can it be organized that you can have a basic package which can be used as a general "template"?
Does anybody have a good idea, how this could be organized?

I am creating, building, and deploying reports via a web browser interface in SQL 2005 Visual Studio. There are a few projects that I no longer want the masses to see when the go to \servername
eportserver. I have deleted all files associated with the projects and reports, and removed them from within the report server, but when I open the web browser I can still see the old projects and open the reports.
Where is the browser getting this information even though the data doesn't even exist as far as i can tell, and how to I actually delete those entries that i no longer want seen.
I have heard that I can go the actual web page itself, and delete the items using "show details", but I am unfamiliar with where exactly that is and how to use it.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated - thanks everyone!

Enterprise SQL Projects
---------------------------
When Design is replaced with an Architectural Plan
The following post is intended as a starting point of some main concepts to consider when dealing with ent. sql projects. While it is not a direct question of any kind, it would interest people that are/or was involved in ent. projects and therefore have been troubled with similar problems.
Here is a quick overview of a couple main concepts when you have to deal with a Ent. Projects with 1000+ stored procedures.
DOCUMENTATION:
It is an absolute must to include 100% explanatory code on top of the sps.
FUNCTIONS:
Use functions to the maximum extent to reduce overal stored procedure complexity
a rule of thumb is to have 1 to 10, functions to sps ratio or simmilar.
TRIGGERS:
A lot to say about them that cannot be covered in this context
NAMING CONVENSION:
Your naming convension should be 100% pre-thought and designed, no mistakes allowed in this context as it will cause all stored procedures to be extremely difficult/impossible to browse.
a quick template could look as this:
sp
module name
underscore(_)
action (lower case)
noun (proper case)
For example:
spOrders_putOrderDetail
spMaintainUsers_deactivateUser
spReports_getZeroInventory
(quoted by: tmorton)
my addition to this would be something like:
sp< as a prefix is surtently an overkill when dealing with 1000+ sps and is not needed.
however a lot more complex naming strategies can be used, that will cause the project to be a lot more easy to maintain.

Hi,I am designing a SQL server backend, MS Access (ADP) frontendapplication and I came across an interesting problem.Lets say I have a table T with the following fields(columns)[a] (int Not Null, Primary key, Identity auto increment)[b] (uniqueidentifier, Allow Nulls)[c] (text)When I open the table in datasheet view using Access and type a valuein [c], [a] and [b] get populated automatically. [a] getting filledwith incremental integers is understandable. But, I have not set theISRowGUID or a default value for [b] and still it gets popullated witha random GUID. If I use SQL Server enterprise manager to enter datainto the table T, [b] does not get filled and stays Null. I forgot tomention that there are no relationships between the tables yet.Is it MS access that is responsible or is it me? In any case cansomething be dont to prevent this? Also should there be something elsein relation to this that I have to look for in the future.My bestIbrahim M

Hi All,
Just installed a new version of SQL2005 on a brand new Application Server.
However, when i fired up Access 2003, it gives me some chaos about how Access isn't compatible with SQL2005. Fantastic lack of backward compatibility straight out the box.
Ok, so I do as it says and download all the updates.
Try again... Still won't allow me.
Wen't to Control Panel > Data Sources and confirmed the Native Client is in there. Added a System DSN for the new Server.
Tried Access again, still not working?? What the...
Why can't I create a new project in Access 2003, and edit it from my desktop instead of sitting on the server for every table modification? I hate designing tables on the SQL studio.
Any clues or help would be great. I'm just disappointed at the moment, on how this is holding up my database projects.
Thanks,
Chris.

I'm currently usiing SSIS as part of a data migration project. I have used the SSIS import export wizard to generate a package to transfer all the tables from one database to another. When I look at the generated package in can see that it connects to a number of 'temporary' text file objects that contain large blocks of SQL code.
The thing that strikes me is that much of the real package activity is effectively encapsulated in these objects and yet thay are not able to be included in my SSIS project within BIDS. I could not deploy this package to another environment without manually locating and deploying the text objects separately and more importantly these objects are excluded from source control.
Have I missed something here.
