Creating Databases Using The Sql Server Shiped With Visual Studio
Nov 19, 2007
Dear Reader,
I'm having some problems writing T-sql statement in visual studio 2005 because i cant find either the query analyzer or enterprise manager in the version of sql server installed. Please kindly put me through that or do i need to create the database outside visual studio. Please will be greatful for this if u can help.
I have VB2008 express edition and SQL server 2005. When i try to create a new local datasource in my project, the datasource seems to be created just fine however an error message comes up. If i try to create the datasource by selecting it on the 'add new item' menu, an error message says
"The data provider required to connect to the local data file could not be found. The file will be added to the project but the typed Dataset associated with the project will not be created."
If I try to create the datasource by selecting 'add new datasource' from the datasources pane, i can create the connection to a new or existing database but when i click next to proceed to the page defining the dataset, an error message says
"An error occured while converting this connection: Data provided identified by guid ' 7c602b5b-accb-4acd-9dc0-ca66388c1533 ' could not be loaded"
In our company we haven't tamed Visual Studio yet for the part of configuring the application database. Therefore I was wondering if there is someone that can give me hints or clues on what the best practice is for configuring Visual Solution to handle an SDF database (SQLCE 3.0). I have search a bit on the internet and this forum, but couldn't find a decent how-to or best practices guide that copes with this specific problem.
As a matter of facts, i am also curious for guidelines and tips on the best way to configure and manage SQL Server databases under Visual Studio. I guess (read as hope) that the configuration of a mobile and full blown database will have some overlaps somehow.
I've found the Database Project which with to manage (Create/Alter) databases, but is this also the best way to store versions of the database in an source repository? Can such a project allow me to 'automagically' have a correct database (so with tables and data) when i want to deploy or debug my device application?
I am asking this because now our database designers and software engineers have to do allot of manual actions to update the application with the most recent database version. SDF databases are flying around all over the place, and in order to test a specific version of the application, the related database has to be copied manually on the device. We are not searching for replication related solutions, nor adding the SDF itself to the source repository, but because most of our applications are server-client based, it would be really super cool if we could somehow couple both database definitions and generation together. My feeling says me there ought to be some feature embedded somewhere deep into Visual Studio that we missed that would (partially) simplify and automate this whole process for us.
Another related question is if it is possible to couple XSD generated datasets to an SDF database. Is it possible to update the generated code (or the describing XSD documents) from an SDF database? i again guess that this somehow should be possible in oderder to keep both code and data in sync, and i do not like the alternative to always update the XSD when the SDF architecture changes. Somehow i cannot find out how to do this. i was initially searching for the other way around: Use an XSD to generate both the DataSet codewrappers and the database itself.
Any information is welcome and many thanks in advance!
Hello, How are you? I have a problem when I try to create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. When I€™m going to choose the data source, the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition provider doesn€™t appear in the list. I installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=%2085E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en. In the additional information says by installing SQLServerCE31-EN.msi installs the provider (System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll) in the GAC (global assembly cache) and registers the OLEDB provider (sqlceoledb30.dll). So, I don€™t understand why couldn€™t I create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE?
When I want to create a dimension i always end showing up errors below:

Hi, I am trying to open or create a sqlexpress database within Visual Studio 2005 Professional in the App_Data folder. If I attempt either method, I get the following dialog box:Required Components MissingConnections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=49251 The link above just takes you to the download page for Sql Server Express 2005. I have both SQL Server 2005 Developer and SQL Server 2005 Expression instances running. The existing database will work properly in my web application, however I cannot access it through Visual Studio.As background, I did have a problem connecting to the database via the web application, receiving a "Failed to generate a User Instance of SQL Server" error. But I was able to fix that by renaming my SQLEXPRESS folder in C:Documents and SettingsuserLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server Data. When the web page ran, it created another SQLEXPRESS folder.However, I cannot figure out why I am having the other issue.Thanks in advancePatrick
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 recently installed the Evaluation Edition of SQL Server 2005 x64 and it appears that MS Visual Studio 2005 is installed in stead of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. When I choose new project the only template available is "Blank Solution". How do I get all the templates (i.e. Analysis Server Project, Integration Services Project, Report Model Project, Report Server Wizard project, etc.)?
Or would it be better to uninstall MS Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to reinstall BIDS?
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.
I have SSRS in Visual Studio. I created a query that works fine in SQL Server Management Studio, but when pasted into Visual Studio I get the error "An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near '('.
Here is the query. Can anyone help on why this isn't working? Thanks.
SELECT CASE WHEN MONTH(dbo.MAS_CCS_ARN_InvHistoryHeader.SOTransDate) = MONTH(GETDATE()) AND YEAR(dbo.MAS_CCS_ARN_InvHistoryHeader.SOTransDate) = YEAR(GETDATE()) THEN dbo.MAS_CCS_ARO_InvHistoryDetail.SOExtChargeAmount ELSE 0 END AS CurrentMonth, CASE WHEN SubString(dbo.MAS_CCS_GL_Account.Account,1,3) = '400' THEN 'ALEDO' ELSE ' ' END AS Location, dbo.MAS_CCS_ARN_InvHistoryHeader.SOTransDate, dbo.MAS_CCS_ARN_InvHistoryHeader.InvoiceNumber, dbo.MAS_CCS_AR1_CustomerMaster.CustomerName, dbo.MAS_CCS_ARO_InvHistoryDetail.DetailSeqNumber, dbo.MAS_CCS_ARO_InvHistoryDetail.LineType, dbo.MAS_CCS_GL_Account.Account, dbo.MAS_CCS_ARO_InvHistoryDetail.SOExtChargeAmount FROM dbo.MAS_CCS_AR1_CustomerMaster, dbo.MAS_CCS_ARN_InvHistoryHeader, dbo.MAS_CCS_ARO_InvHistoryDetail, dbo.MAS_CCS_GL_Account WHERE dbo.MAS_CCS_AR1_CustomerMaster.CustomerNumber = dbo.MAS_CCS_ARN_InvHistoryHeader.CustomerNumber AND dbo.MAS_CCS_ARN_InvHistoryHeader.InvoiceNumber = dbo.MAS_CCS_ARO_InvHistoryDetail.InvoiceNumber AND dbo.MAS_CCS_ARO_InvHistoryDetail.SOGLSalesAcct = dbo.MAS_CCS_GL_Account.AccountKey
I'm very confused. I installed Visual Studio 2005 and thought I understood that SQL Server 2005 came with it, but it appears that it's SQL Server 2005 - Express. Can anyone tell me what I need to do in order to get Data Transformation Services loaded or the equivalent of DTS in SQL Express?
Hi there, I am a newcomer to SQLExpress. I have installed Visual Studio 2005 and have been playing with it. Now I need to make a DB project with SQL server but I can not find a way to run the scripts (provided) to create the database I need.
Does anybody can help with this elementary question?
i have built a web project in visual studio, and i have an instance of sql server express running. when i try to access a database(which is located in the file system) through the web project, i get the following message:
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Unable to open the physical file "C:dbSAMdbSAM.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)". An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:dbSAMdbSAM.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
i am running visual studio 2005 professional, on windows XP pro with IIs installed. i also have a report server on the same sql server instance.
Hi all, Tried this for the first time this morning using a SQLDataSource and received the message: "Database schema could not be retreived for this connection. Please make sure the connection settings are correct and that the database is online. This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and later" If possible, how can I connect to the SQL Server 7 as I have a small project to complee and all the data and tables exist on our SQL Server 7 installation.
Dear all,I am having trouble connecting my asp.net pages to a sql server database.I have the database running in visual studio and i can query it using the sql pane.My problem is that i don't know where to put the ADO.net query string or what it should look like.Does visual studio provide a wizard for doing this?Also is it possible to use CSS to change ASP.NET tags, i.e. asp:LabelAny help would be appreciated.Cheers
Are there any issues/problems that may be encountered by designing sites via Visual Studio 2005 and using SQL 2000 Server as a backend to a site? Or is it recommended to upgrade to SQL 2005?
They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again while expecting a different outcome. I must be going insane.
To top it off, the first time I tried to enter this message the post failed.
I installed visual studio 2005 and SQL express in the spring and began working with them. Life was good. I got distracted for several months and when I went back in I saw the 2008 beta 2 versions of VS and VWD. I uninstalled everything and installed the new versions, but kept having problems with missing links in the help files. I am a newbie, so the help files were important to me so I decided to go back to the old versions.
I deleted everything again, used the MSI cleanup utility to make sure everything was deleted and tried to reinstall the 2005 versions. At one point I got SQL server installed, but had to use a different (besides SQLexpress) instance name and was unable to link it with VWD. I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled (maybe a dozen times) while trying various means of deleting file contents and under the programs/apdata and Microsoft SQL directories and in various sequences to no avail. The latest message is below along with the end of the log file.
Does anyone know a good hosting vendor for the visual studio authoring environment? (just half kidding)
Thanks for any help ... bill

Just installed vs 2005 and my backend is sql 2000. When I tried to deploy program in vs 2005 to connect to sql 2000, there's error "ERROR [IM002][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data Source name not found and no default driver specified."
However, if I tried to connect to through VS 2005> Tools> Connect to Database, it is successful. I've tried to copy the connection string vs 2005 shows and still cannot. The string vs 2005 shows :"Data Source=(Local);Initial Catalog=CaCStockTracker;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa"
I've TCP/IP shared memory enabled which I read from another post. Nothing helps.
Was thinking if there's anything wrong.....below is my code for sql connection:
Public Shared strDBCon As String = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Persist Security Info=True;UserID=sa;Password=sa;Initial Catalog=CaCStockTracker;Data Source=(Local)"
Public Shared con_DB As New OdbcConnection
Public Shared Function DBOpenDB() As Boolean Try If con_DB.State <> ConnectionState.Open Then con_DB.ConnectionString = strDBCon con_DB.Open() End If Catch ex As Exception Throw ex End Try DBOpenDB = True End Function
I'm having trouble with CLR based user-defined functions.
When I create a database C# project in Visual Studio 2005, the dialog to pick the database connection doesn't apprear. Except for that, the project seems to be created normally. I am able to write and build my project without a problem.
When I try to release, it says that the connection isn't defined. I do a Project ==> <projname> and then select the database tab on the side. I am unable to type in a connection string because it's grayed out. When I hit the browse button. Visual Studio crashes.
I have one thrid-party Visual Studio installed, Sybase PowerDesigner. I also have the SQL Server 2000 and 2005 client tools installed.
I tried uninstalling the PowerDesigner module. I tried reinstalling and repairing the SQL Server client tools and Visual Studio 2005. I tried uninstalling SQL Server 2000 and 2005 client tools and then intalling Visual Studio 2005 fresh.
Nothing seemed to fix the problem.
Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas on how to fix this? I found a work around to install the dll from SQL Server, but I would really like to deploy from Visual Studio.

The develpment team where I work is using Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 and Team Fundation Server. We want to somehow track changes of the stored procedures. We could create a Solution/Project in the SQL Server Management Studio, add all stored procedures to it and add that Solution/Project to the SourceSafe but nothing will stop developers from directly altering stored procedures.
Any ideas on how to prevent developers from making changes to the stored procedures directly?
- In my company we bought Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition AND Sql Server 2005 Standard edition (includes 10 Cal licences to SQL Server 2005)
- We'll develop a new (exe file) program that will use a SQL SERVER database to store information.
- This new program will be available to 20 employees or our company.
- They will write and read information in that SQL SERVER database but, through the exe application developed with Visual Basic .NET (Visual Studio 2005).
- They will use all the same connection and the same login name to connect to database.
- They will not have access to database tables directly.
My question is:
- We have 10 CAL Licences. Must we have as many CAL licences as users we have ?
I can't connection with sql 2000 using visual studio 2005.
Error definition : 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)
I'm attempting to connect to my SQL Server Express instance through Visual Studio 2003. When I go to Data Connections, I choose the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server, then fill in all the parameters for my server (server name, username, password, database). When I click "Test Connection" it goes through successfully. When I click "Ok" to create the Data Connection, it fails saying that the username and password should be checked. I changed the username and password to the "sa" account I created when I installed SQL Server Express, and got the same successful connection test, but failure when it tries to create the connection. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I've recently noticed the availability of SQL Server Mobile, and would like to take advantage of some of the new features, however, I'm currently using Visual Studio 2003. The requirements state that Visual Studio 2005 is required, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success getting it to work with VS 2003?
I hope that I can do this with VS 2003, but if VS 2005 will be required, I'd like to clear up a few issues before asking my workplace to fork out more money for the upgrade:
What have your experiences been like in getting clients to upgrade from SQL Server CE to SQL Server Mobile? I've seen some postings regarding problems with specific devices which seem a bit worrying, but I was wondering how easy it was in general.
Does SQL Server Mobile really do a good job of reclaiming wasted space? Using SqlCeEngine's Compact method has caused problems due to the required storage space to perform the operation.
The documentation states that using SQL Server 2000 with SP3A is supported, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this?
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
i need a regex support in SQL 2005 server. i've downloaded SQL regex support project from http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/02/SQLRegex/default.aspx?loc=en. but in order to enable regex support i needed to open VS 2005. compile the project and deploy it to SQL server. now i can use Regexp-s in SQL queries. However this is not elegant way to deploy everytime SQL Database project via Visual Studio to every MS SQL server i want. my question is : how can i deploy without using Visual Studio?
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2005, but before that I need install MS SQL Server for my database, what kind of MS SQL server I need install, how about "MS SQL 2005 Express Edition"? Or I have to install "MS SQL 2005"?
