Cannot Edit Table Data With SQL Server Management Studio?
Apr 15, 2008
HI all,
I'm just posting this to make sure I didn't mess anything.
Is the only way to enter/edit table data (in grid view) is through the VS (Express) IDE?
The reason why I ask is because I installed the Sql Server 2008 developer trial to get the Management Studio and pretty much the only things I can do are create/edit/delete databases, tables and the like.
It would be nice for the Management Studio (and Express at that) to have those capabilites. It would be nice to not have to create connections in the VS IDE to diffferent databases to edit them. Opening up the Management Studio and selecting the database seems like the proper (if not accustomed) way to do it.
I imported a SQL Table into SQL DataBase, But I can not update this table even with SQL Server management Studio When I change any data on mentioned table above, Red exclamation sign appears left of the record . How can I correct this problem? Thanks.
It looks like these options are only available in the SQL Server Management Studio? I installed SQL Server Management Express Studio and I can't even find the DTSWizard.exe on my machine.
Can you please help how I can import data from excel or where can I download the SQL Server Management Studio?
I have uploaded a table into sql management studio express. However, when I right click on the table and try and open it, I get an error message saying;
I'm trying to enter some data into a table to run some tests. Whenever I open the table, I can enter data into all my fields *except* for the fields that I defined as Binary data types. I've tried to enter 0, 1, true, false... I always get the same error...
"Invalid value for cell... The changed value in this cell was not recognized as valid. Error Message: You cannot use the Result pane to set this Field data to values other than NULL"
Any ideas on this? I thought Binary was True or False? Is it the way I'm trying to enter data? I'm not familiar with SQL code and I just need to get a few rows filled up with data so I can test using gridview to pull the data onto a webpage.
Hi, I have Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express and do not see how I can enable the Import Data... feature which I have seen on the regular Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version.
Basically, if I right-click on a database, I'd like to use the Import Data... function which should be found in this menu under the Tasks... item. The Import Data... menu choice is visible just below the Generate Scripts... choice in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio but not in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Can anybody tell me if this feature is available in the express version. If not what are my options in order of least cost. Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is really beyond my ability to purchase.
After creating mobile database into sql server 2005 management studio, how to insert the records from sql server 2005 management studio into and mobile database from excel file?
I am still a bit of a noob with SQL, but, when I use Enterprise Manager with my SQL 2000 server at the office, it is pretty simple to import data from pretty much any data source. I have not been able to locate the Transform facility in the 2005 express software that I downloaded onto my home pc (to help me learn SQL). Did I not install something that I need? or am I just missing what I am looking for? The net question is, how do I import data?
Hello: I have an old database created in SQL Server 2000, now I can open, access it in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, but I can't create Data Diagrams. Please advise on how to make it work.... Thank you
I've built my SQL Server Express database with SQL Serevr Management Studio Express, and now I want to enter some seed data to assist in building tha app around it. I cannot find an option to manage the data in SQL SMSX, like I used to with Enterprise Manager. I don't want to have to write an app just to get test data in. Seems like this should be a common need. Am I missing something obvious here? Can't find any reference to this in a search of the forums. Please help.
I'm trying to define a linked server using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Data Mining Services. MSDMine data provider is missing. Do you know where I can get this? Thanks in advance.
I'm have a Xeon 64bit proc. using SP2. And had installed:
SQLServer2005_ADOMD_x64.msi, SLQServer2005_ASOLEDB9_x64.msi,SQLServer2005_OLAPDM_x64.msi, and SQLServer2005_XMO_x64.msi.
I guess that I had "Unit" (instead of "UnitForConc"), when I executed the sql code last time!!!??? How can I delete the old, wrong CTE that is already in the ChemDatabase of my SSMSE?

I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason
I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
How do i get the database that i am using in visual studio into my SQL server management studio? i need to create some scripts to create stored procedures on a live server.
hey. I need to copy some tables from one database to another. I found a script to do it, but isnt there some way in the management studio to copy the table from one database to another?
I use the SQL Compact Edition 3.1 as database for a desktop application. Everything works fine, but is it possible to edit the data (e.g. tables and views) in the SQL Server Management Studio? I can make a connection to the SQL CE database, but I can only edit the objects of a table. The option 'Open Table' as in SQL Server (2005) is not avalible? Does anybody know if it posible to edit the data with the Managementstudio (express)?
When I open a large table (say more than 1,000,000 Rows) in the SSMS by right clicking on the table name, it takes a very big time to fully open the table.More than 20 minutes for 1,000,000 records on a local instance.
SQL Server 2000 EM was extremely faster. Does any one knows a work around?
I need to be able to view and edit the data in SSMS.
In sql 2000 one could right-click a table (under Enterprise Manager) and have it return the "top n" rows in the table. That feature seems to be missing from Management Studio. Am I correct or is it just hiding somewhere?
A call to a stored procedure completes in 13 seconds when ran from within SQL Server Management Studio. A report whose data source uses the same stored procedure can take as long as 10 minutes to run. The same parameter values are used in both the direct call and the report. The execution log says almost all of that time is spent on data retrieval. How could that be? What might be the cause?
I'm pretty new to using SQL 2005 Management Studio. Generally speaking, it works pretty much the way I'm used to (using Enterprise Manager) as far as moving data around and designing databases is concerned. But I've been trying to import some data to my local SQL server from an online SQL database and I am getting the most bizarre results.
Basically, it appears to work perfectly, but when the import is finished, there is only one new row in the destination table.
I have tried this with two completely different online databases and I have tried importing using a query and just downloading the table as-is, but whatever happens, I just get one row! All of the databases I'm exporting from or importing into are SQL 2000 - I just happen to be using the SQL 2005 client software.
Have you heard of anything like this?
I'm appending the report to the end of this email. As you can see, it says "success, success" all the way down and it clearly states "71236 rows transferred", but when I get done, there's just one.
Any thoughts?
One explanation is that every new row is overwriting the last new row somehow, but I don't think so because the row that actually gets copied is always the first one in the record set, not the last. Unless they're being transferred in reverse order, I suppose.
I'm pretty stumped and I haven't found any useful blogs or help on the web.
Hope you can think of something because I don't have Enterprise Manager on my computer any more and it's going to be a pain to install it.
Jon

I'm having a bit of a nightmare with MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager(running on XP Pro SP2).
Basically I've been running it on my laptop and my desktop with no problems for months and suddenly I can't seem to edit any data in any table?
Basically I'm using Enterprise manager to connect the database which is hosted externally by Fasthosts. I've called them and explain the problem, they told me to increase my Query Timeout to 300 seconds, which I have done but still no joy.
I can open and query tables but when i simply open a table and return all rows, even the smallest of tables (i.e. just 2 rows) as soon as I try and edit even just a field containing a bit of data is just hangs for about a minute until I get the following error;
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure
I've again called Fasthosts who assure me that it was working at their end etc and that was about all they could do !! very helpful...
Anyways, does anyone have any ideas ? As I really need to edit some data in the tables for a deadline and this is extremely frustating as it was working just a few days before. I've tried removing SQL server and re-installing but I'm still getting the same problem.
I am trying to use the following Query to create the table Agents and add rows to it.
USE REMAXCLASSIC; IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.Agents', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE Agents; GO CREATE TABLE Agents
[Code] ....
I get the following error messages:  Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 34 Incorrect syntax near '0.25' Msg 105, Level 15 mark after the character string ');
we have a database hosted online on sql server 05. at work, we have a sql 2000 query analyzer on a machine, and sql 2005 management studio on a machine. both machines can connect to the database, both can pull up the data from a certain table. but there are two columns that display info in query analyzer that show up as empty on management studio. not null, just empty. any ideas why?
