Connecting An Existing Database To Management Studio
Jul 27, 2007
Hello,
I use visual studio express 2005, and just downloaded Management Studio Express. (I have SQL Express).
I've already created my projects and created database tables and everything but I do not know how to connect an existing database to management studio. Can someone tell me how to connect an existing database to management studio?
I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum. Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it. I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list. As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?
I have 4 named instances of SQL 2005 running on one of our sales server (dont ask me why I have 4 instances.Its a beefy box btw). All the instances have SSIS Packages (around 6-7 in each instance) saved to the SQL server and not to the file system. The issue is every time i need to look at the packages or export the packages from SSMS I have to edit the MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml and type in the named instance name within the <ServerName></ServerName> tag . I then have to restart my SSIS. I dont see an easier approach to this method.
This is causing me a lot of unnecessary time waste. is there anyway this can be automated where in i can pass the instance name dynamically to the ini file or even more best, can I have all the instance names in the ini file and some how look at the packages in each Instance. I am not sure how having all the instance names in the ini file woud resolve the issue though.
I know I can use BIDS which is much more flexible and a recommended approach but need a solution for looking at SSIS packages through SSMS in all of the 4 instances. I look forward to recommendations from anyone who have better ideas and suggestions.
I am having problems connecting to my SQL Server instance with Management Studio; basically the setup is as follows;
*Single server running windows 2003 enterprise - in a workgroup not domain *SQL Server is installed on this machine *When I try and connect from the same machine using its own IP address and Windows authentication I get the 18452 error "login failed for {NULL} user"
I am testing it like this because Sharepoint is failing in configuration wizard because it is connecting the same way - at least the login failure audit logs say the same.
I have a sql server 2005 remotely, need to connect from client using sql management studio. I am unable to connect from one of the client machine and able to connect from different machine.
The tcp/ip, named pipes and sql browser is enabled in (sscm)server and windows firewall is off in client.
I am getting (provider: sql network interfaces, error 26 - error locating server/instance specified)
I am trying to connect to a sql server 2005 server using either the SQL Server Management Studio program using either windows auth or sql server auth but I can not. When I click on the connect button to connect to a server it never connects. I can not cancel once I press connect. It never times out after I press connect. I removed all registered servers that were registered previously. I have uninstalled all software that involved sql server (and sql2000) run a registry cleaner(not microsofts), installed the software to a new directory and still I can not connect to the sql2005 server (the only db).
I tested the connection from my machine to the production database system using osql and it worked fine. I registered the server tested the connection (using the management studio) and it tested fine. When I try to connect to the database engine it does not work.
When I had another user login to my machine and launch the SQL Server Management Studio I noticied that it ran a configuration utility for first use. When I uninstalled the SQL Server Management Studio on my machine it never came up again. Is there any way that I can get the configuration utility to run again on my account?
I have had SQL express installed and working ok, however, I can no longer connect
OS: XP sp2.0
.net installed ver1.1 .. 2.0 sp1, 3.0sp1 and 3.5
The install of SQL was using the SQLEXR_adv download
I have removed SQL and all associated applications folders and windows SQL services
I have re-installed many times but always receive the same issue.
I re-built the .net 2.0
The issue I have is when I try and connect form my applications or with Express sql management studio I receive the following error:
It looks like a .net2.0 issue

Hi all, I got this problem which makes me struggle in the last few days. I am able to connect to my local server using a query analyzer or calling sql commands in a window application, but there's no way I can access it in Management Studio: by clicking "Connect" it just waits forever, and it doesn't respond to any other command (it must be shut by terminating the process) Got any hints?
Is there a way to connect to database using Windows authentication as a different user than what you've logged in with to your desktop?
For example:
I log on to my desktop as mydomainme. I'm developing queries using Management Studio against a database (on another server) where mydomainme doesn't have access, but the admins have granted access to mydomainJobs1. I have the password for mydomainJobs1, and I'm hoping I can connect to the database using that account without having to log-off my local desktop as mydomainme and then re-login using mydomainJobs1.
The analogy in the file/share-permissions world would be using "net use" from a command prompt:
net use \SomeServer /User:mydomainJobs1 jobs1password
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 have created a database under management studio and i want it to be connected in visual studio but it failed the error msgs said that the database can't be connected coz the database with same name exits but that is not true
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.
I am trying to connect to a remote sql server 2005. So I have install the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. When I try to connect I get the error below.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53). Can some one please help. I have even port no 1533 on my pc. Thanks.
Hi all, I want to do SQLCLR by Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio via VB 2005 Express and I have read the following articles and books: (i) Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio in http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2006/11/22/connecting-to-sql-express-user-insta... (ii) Managing SQL Server Express with SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express Edition in http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sql/2005/mgsqlexpwssmse.mspx (iii) Chapter 16 - Going Beyand Transact-SQL: Using the SQL Common Language Rutime (SQLCLR) in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition for Dummies (iv) Chapter 21 - Working with the Common Language Runtime in Microsft SQL Server 2005 Programming for Dummies (v) Chapter 4 - Introduction to Common Language Runtime (CLR) Integration in Programming SQL Server 2005 by Bill Hamilton. I want to create an SQLCLR project "HelloWorld" by Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio via VB 2005 Express. But I am still not sure how to get it started, because I do not understand the following things: (1) Pipe Name for a User Instance, (2) Enabling (or Disabling) the CLR by using Transact-SQL, (3) Creating a Transact-SQL script, (4) Creating an Assembly, (5) Creating a backup device, etc. I need to see some simple examples of SQLCLR by Connecting to SQL Express User Instances in Management Studio via VB 2005 Express. Please help and tell me where in the websites I can find them.
Really confused ... I created 2 tables in a VB Express program (which went well). Problem is that I can't see/find those tables with MSME. I don't really understand how to connect the MSME to where the tables are. I created the tables under My DocumentsData and they are DBapp.mdf + DBapp_log.LDF and the tables are Items and Preferences. The VB application can "see" the tables OK.
Do I need to move the tables to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSQL.1MSQLDATA (like the Adventureworks installation which I haven't done) or what?
i use VSC 2013 (C#, .net4.5, ADO) and i installed SQL Express 2014 on a PC Under W8.1pro. I succeeded to create and access a database with my application. My database is created with a code like:
using ( var connection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection( "Data Source=(local); Integrated Security=true;User Instance=True;" ) ) { connection.Open(); using ( var command = connection.CreateCommand() ) { command.CommandText = String.Format( "CREATE DATABASE {0} ON PRIMARY (NAME={0}, FILENAME='{1}')", dataBaseName, dbFileName ); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); command.CommandText = String.Format( "EXEC sp_detach_db '{0}', 'true'", dataBaseName ); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); } }
My problem is to manage this database with "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio"; i fact, i never succeeded to see my database in this tool. The .mdf file of my databae is located in a directory "C:UsersmyuseraccountDocumentsSQLServerExpDBs".
I tried to join my mdf file, but MSqlSMS refuse to display the content of all my user account directories.how to manage such DB in MSqlSMS?
All, I copy my reallistdb.mdf file to this MS SQL SERVER directory .Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData eallistdb.mdf. When I open my ms sql management studio, I don't see my realistdb.mdf under object exploer. Could anyone help? Thanks
In SSMS, I connect Object Explorer to a partially contained database using a contained user login with password. This user has a database role of dbdatareader. When I try to expand the Tables in the database, I get the error:Â
The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'extended_properties', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Is there a way to set permissions for the contained user so that this could be done?
i have created a sql database in visual studio pro and now i would like to connect to that database in SQL server managamenet studio. so when i start SQL server i connect to the same instance as my database (wich is .SQLEXPRESS) but i can't find my database in the object explorer?
I currently can't connecto to my database in SQL Server 2005 (enterprise) but as soon as I try to use any functions, I get cryptic errors found below. I am about to pull my hair out.

I just installed Management Studio 2016 CP1. Unfortunately, the Database Diagrams branch does not show-up when I expand the individual databases in Object Explorer. Interestingly, they show-up in Management Studio 2008
I created a database in SQL Server Management Studio Express. I since detached the database and consequently now I get the below error message when trying to attach it.
Anyone have any ideas? The database is preety much brand new and very small. I can open the database with Visual Studio.
Thanks in Advance.

When I install AdventureWorks.db for SQL Express, it runs without errors. The database files (data and logs) are in the SQL Express 2005 data directory. However, I can not see the database in Managment Studio Express CTP. I've tried repairing and uninstall/install again. Does not help.
I have SQL Express 2005 cleanly installed. I have the pubs and Northwinds databases cleanly installed. (I was able to execute the queries that came for installing these). I can see both pubs and Northwinds in Management Studio Express CTP.
I recently installed the express edition of sql server express, I installed with all the default options and choose windows authorisation for login. I have tried to attach a database in studio mangement and it threw an exception about security and connection error, I presume I have no priviledges, but I have tried to grant myself rights and basically tried everything but I cant seem to get anywhere with it, would apprechiate some advise on this subject, and what steps I should take to setup and use and have complete rights to the database thanks in advance
Hi All, I am new to SQL Server and having trouble using SQL Server Management Studio. I am unable to select the Database Engine in management studio. I am able to see the instance of default database engine (MSSQLServer) running in Reporting Services manager as well as in Surface area configuration manager, but it is not visible in the drop down list in Management Studio's "Select Database Engine" menu. I had removed Sql server 2005 earlier ( I was able to select the database engine in Management Studio then). But when I installed it again, I was unable to install the Sql Server Tools (it said that my Upgrade is blocked). So, I cleaned the Windows Registry of all keys containing 'Sql'. After this I tried installing it again and successfully installed Sql Server 2005 + ALL TOOLS. But this time I am unable to select the database engine in management studio. Thanks and Regards to ALL

HiI am using SQL Server Management Studio Express to make my databases but I noticed if I make my database in Visual studios and go new Item and make a new database I see it in app_data folder and server express tab and if I make it in SQL Server Management Studio Express I only see it in the server explorer. So if I have to move my files to another computer how do I move my database easly with SQL Server Management Studio Express? Since when you make it with the visual studio the file gets stored with all the other files of your project so if you move it all to another computer you prob won't run into a problem. So how do I make it that so I can do everything in SQL Server Management Studio Express(since I like working in it) then export it into a file that I can then go into my app_data folder and add it is an exist item? Thanks
