DB Design :: Row Guid In Adventure Works Database?
May 19, 2015
I was studying the Adventure Works database because I read it contains good examples of best practices.
It has an ID column for each table that is auto-incrementing Primary Key. There is also a row guid which seems redundant since the ID PKs are identity columns that increment automatically and should be unique in a given table.
What is the purpose of the row guid being used in conjunction with the ID which should be unique in a given table?
I have got sql server developer 2014 64 bit, but i cannot attach the adventure works 2014 or 2012, keeps giving me errors. so is their an exe file or another way to install this to the database.
Using windows 8.1 64 bit enterprise, jaws 16, and sql server 2014 developer 64 bit.
I am very new to SQL and just completed an install of SQL 2005 Express. After install, I downloaded the Adventure Works database and attempted to attach through both the Object Browser (right-click 'Databases'--->'Attach') and by running the script that is located on the SQL download page where I got the Adventure Works db.
Here's the error that I get:
"Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 8, object ID 1, Index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes."
I have attempted to go through the help files, but unfortunately the above message is too cryptic for me and I have no idea what it's telling me.
The Data Mining Tutorial accompanying the June CTP includes mention of a table DimProspect. Despite the csv file existing in the Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSamplesAdventureWorks Data Warehouse path containing the data for the table, the instawdwdb script doesn't include any reference. Can someone supply me with the necessary script for this table?
I'm new to the whole DB thing so I wanted to start off easy and download SQL Express. That part worked fine so I tried to install the Adventure Works DB to get some practice using the SQL commands. The problem is every time I click on a table in Adventure Works and choose Open Table I get a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio box that pops up. The error says: Class Not Registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
(Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlTools.VSIntegration)
Help!! Any ideas out there how to get the Adventure Works DB working? Thx much.

I am trying to locate the solution file for the Adventure works DW included as part of the installation of SQL Server 2005 to be opened in Business Intelligence Development Studio, But where is the solution file saved? I can see its database from Management studio but I need to know its solution file to locate it in Business intelligence studio. Please could anyone here give me some idea about that. Thanks a lot in advance for any help and guidance for that.
I'm running Windows Xp Pro With SQL 2005 Dev edition with Adventure Works sample db installed. I am the local administrator on my desktop, the services are up and running and I specified local connections only since this is the DEV edition of SQL05.
When I try either one of these connection strings: Data source=(SQLDEV05); initial catalog=AdventureWorks or Data source=(local); initial catalog=AdventureWorks.
I receive this error message:
TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer -----------------------------
A connection cannot be made to the database. Set and test the connection string.
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: 2)

I am trying to create a Adventure Works Tabular cube in my developing machine and im having problems deploying the tabular cube (the DW database was firstly attached without problems)
So I'm having problems processing Adventure Works Tabular Cube, the problems are somewhere between SSAS project configuration and running privileges, i think. I'll describe exactly where i am:
- in SSMS 2012, connections, tables and roles and roles are empty, i only have the full name of the database when I try to process i get an error "the table with id of "product category 92583829......", Name of Product Category refereced by the model Cube, does not exist. An error ocurred when loading the model cube, '?c:program filesmicrosoft sql serverMSAS11.MSSQLSERVEROLAPDataAdventureWorks Tabular model SQL 2012.0.dbModel.21.cub.xml'. (Microsoft AnalysisServices.)"
- in SQL Server configuration Manager, I have Sql Server (MSSQLSERVER) running with account NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER Sql Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) running with account .L.ABCDE , which is my account, i've changed because i've read somewhere that i could have problems with privileges.
(Note: it's strange because SSAS is tabular, i can see a blue rectangle (sort of) in SSMS but in configurator manager seems to be a cube.)
- in SSAS Project i unzip a clean copy of the project and the first error is that BIM file can't be found, it try's to find server TOSHIBA_S50_BTAB, but as i have only tabular SSAS running, i replace for TOSHIBA_S50... And some time ago it worked, now it doesn't even found TOSHIBA_S50_B?!!!!
Hi I have three questions about several topics. In this code: public string ConnectionString { get { return "Provider=MSOLAP.3;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW"; } }
What is data source and initial catalog and what does this code do? And if I want to use other database how can change this code? (This code is for data mining viewer client project) And in this code: SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=True"); SqlCommand cm = new SqlCommand("Select AddressID,AddressLine1 from Person.Address", cn); SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(); da.SelectCommand = cm; DataTable dt = new DataTable(); da.Fill(dt); this.comboBox1.DisplayMember = "AddressLine1"; this.comboBox1.ValueMember = "AddressID"; this.comboBox1.DataSource = dt;
what is comboBox1.DisplayMember and comboBox1.ValueMember ,and what is difference between those ? and other question: in adventure works dw project for data mining predicting ,in forecasting model ,if I want to show the result of this query in the combobox in c# how can I show that? SELECT PredictTimeSeries(amount) From [Forecasting] And again in this code ,it has a result which has two culomns ,on of them is for amount and other column is for time ,in sql I can save this result in exsiting table or neew table with wizard,but I want to Do this work in c#,that€™s mean with a adomdconnection I connect to forecasting model and write this query then in a datagridviwe ,Iwant to see the values of prediction in adventure works dw database. Other question: In €œdataminingviwerclient€? project I change this code and you can see it,for this code I have a form that give servername and catlogname in that and then with clcking on a button I want to show the chart of model in a child form ,but I can€™t.
public Form1 form1 = new Form1(); public string m_ServerName; public string m_CatalogName; public Form3() { m_ServerName = ""; m_CatalogName = ""; InitializeComponent(); }
public string ConnectionString { get { return "Provider=MSOLAP.3;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW"; } }
private void ShowModel(Panel panel, string modelName) { AdomdConnection conn = new AdomdConnection(); try { MiningModelViewerControl viewer = null; MiningModel model = null; MiningService service = null;
// Clear any existing controls from the panel if (panel.HasChildren) panel.Controls.Clear();
// Connect to server conn.ConnectionString = ConnectionString; conn.Open();
// Determine the viewer type based on the model service and // instantiate the correct viewer model = conn.MiningModels[modelName]; service = conn.MiningServices[model.Algorithm]; if (service.ViewerType == "Microsoft_TimeSeries_Viewer") viewer = new TimeSeriesViewer(); else throw new System.Exception("Custom Viewers not supported");
// Set up and load the viewer viewer.ConnectionString = ConnectionString; viewer.MiningModelName = modelName; viewer.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; panel.Controls.Add(viewer); viewer.LoadViewerData(null); } catch (System.Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Model Load"); } conn.Close(); when I run this code ,I have one error that say: the €œ object not found parametr name:index Please see this code and answer my question. If you just can answer one of my qestions ,please say. Thanks a lot for your answers.With best wishes for you
I am trying to delete tables from data where the ModifiedDates older than 9 years in AdventureWorks2012 database . I get console notified that foreign keys are dropped but the delete statement is throwing errors. I am sure that somewhere the key constraints are not getting altered, but i'm not able to figure it out as i'm a relative beginner to T-SQL. The error and code:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_SalesOrderHeaderSalesReason_SalesReason_SalesReasonID". The conflict occurred in database "AdventureWorks2012", table "Sales.SalesOrderHeader [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO") | Out-Null $option_drop = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ScriptingOptions; $option_drop.ScriptDrops = $true;
to download AdventureWorksDB.msi. Once I save that to my local machine I run the install and it completes with no errors. Unfortunately, I can't see any of the data in SQL Server Management Studio Express. I'm new to SQL Server Express so maybe its me, but I get the feeling that it was never added to the database. I'm still looking for SQLServerExpressSamplesOverview.htm to see if I am missing a step but I can't find it anywhere.
The install seems to have extracted database files but if I need to run some scripts by hand to create the database I don't know which order to run them in.
i followed all the instruction to add the database of the adventure works to the database server. but when i attach the database from the managment sql server this error comes
Couldnt find row in sysindexes for database ID 8, object ID1 ..........etc
and couldnt open new database 'adventureworks'. create database is aborted.
please i need a qucik help. cuz i tried the msdn and i failed.
I downloaded the AdventureWorks OLTP Schema and am trying to use some of the design concepts that are used in this example but I don€™t quite understand some things.
First there is a column named rowguid, at the moment I assume that this is a GUID. If this is wrong most likely my next question will make no sense.
Second if that is indeed a guid all the tables have another id; example would be Employee table would have employeeid and rowguid, why do this? My best guess is that you would use the guid to easily insert (linked/sync) data into multiple tables without needing to retrieve the id from the table that was first input into. My scenario would be inserting an employee; to insert an employee you need to create a row in the employee, contact and address tables and for ease you would use the guid to link these rows. But if this is the case wouldn€™t there be sync issues that would arise?
If my guess is totally off please correct me also if anyone can direct me to some good resources that cover database design.
The schema can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0F6E0BCF-A1B5-4760-8D79-67970F93D5FF&displaylang=en#filelist
I have created a database in the SQL Server 2005 and the same database in sql mobile. I have a field, which has a GUID and uniqueidentifier, when i tried to insert the same data which is there in sql server 2005 database into sql mobile database it is giving me error as below
Major Error 0x80040E14, Minor Error 25501
> INSERT INTO TypeValue (TypeValue_ID,DisplayValue,TypeName,OrderIndex,IsActive)
Does anyone have a script that can add a GUID Column to multiple Tables in a Database.
For example when a table has an Identity column like EmployeeID, a column called EmployeeGUID is added to the table. When a table has an Identity column like CustomerID, a column called CustomerGUID is added to the table. When a table has an Identity column like OrderID, a column called OrderGUID is added to the table.
I intend to implement replication in SQL Server 2005, so i want to add new GUID columns to all the table in my database before implementing replication
The SQL script below adds a column to a single table in a database. But i need a script that can add a column to all the tables in a database.
Thanks
USE ProductDB
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employees Add EmployeeGUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL DEFAULT NEWSEQUENTIALID()
Ok, I'm doing a football database for fixtures and stuff. The problem I am having is that in a fixture, there is both a home, and an away team. The tables as a result are something like this:
It's not exactly like that, but you get the point. The question is, can I do a fixture query which results in one record per fixture, showing both teams details. The first in a hometeam field and the second in an away team field.
Fixture contains the details about the fixture like date and fixture id and has it been played
Team contains team info like team id, name, associated graphic
TeamFixture is the table which links the fixture to it's home and away team.
TeamFixture exists to prevent a many to many type relationship.
Make sense? Sorry if this turns out to be really easy, just can't get my head around it at the mo!
I have a application which uses the automatic asp.net membership stuff to make it work. (In app_data). It works fine on local host, but when I use it on the web server I get the error message (after clicking the log in button):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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Please help me fix this. Thank you for your help,Sam
How do I update the OrderGUID column in Table B with Values from OrderGUID column in Table A. I have already populated the OrderGUID column in Table A using NEWSEQUENTIALID(). Now I need to populate the OrderGUID column in Table B with Matching GUID values from the OrderGUID Column in Table A.
Does any one have a script to accomplish this task. thanks
I actually work in an organisation and we have to find a solution about the data consistancy in the database. our partners use to send details to the organisation and inserted directly in the database, so we want to create a new database as a buffer database to insert informations from the partners then make an update to the main database. is there a better solution instead of that?
I have made my website using SQL Server Express edition. It is totally database driven and manypages use databases to display data. My problem is that after paying for webhosting fees my web host told me that they do not support SQL Server express edition. Instead they have support for MySQL and Ms Access. Except that there is this MS 2000 Database service for an additional cost. Any recommendations what I should do except changing the host? If I pay for MS 2000 Database servicem, will my website work? My user management(i.e ASPNETDB database) was created by Visual Web developer and I don't want to do user management myself. Any advice?
Hello everyone,I have a webcontrol that uses database-structures alot, it uses the system tables in SQL to read column information from tables. To ease the load of the SQL server I have a property that stores this information in a cache and everything works fine.I am doing some research to find if there are anyway to get information from the SQL server that the structure from a table has changed.I want to know if a column or table has changed any values, like datatype, name, properties, etc.Any suggestions out there ?!
I have a system that basically stores a database within a database (I'msure lots have you have done this before in some form or another).At the end of the day, I'm storing the actual data generically in acolumn of type nvarchar(4000), but I want to add support for unlimitedtext. I want to do this in a smart fashion. Right now I am leaningtowards putting 2 nullable Value fields:ValueLong ntext nullableValueShort nvarchar(4000) nullableand dynamically storing the info in one or the other depending on thesize. ASP.NET does this exact very thing in it's Session State model;look at the ASPStateTempSessions table. This table has both aSessionItemShort of type varbinary (7000) and a SessionItemLong of typeImage.My question is, is it better to user varbinary (7000) and Image? I'mthinking maybe I should go down this path, simply because ASP.NET does,but I don't really know why. Does anyone know what would be the benifitof using varbinary and Image datatypes? If it's just to allow saving ofbinary data, then I don't really need that right now (and I don't thinkASP.NET does either). Are there any other reasons?thanks,dave
Hi All,Can u please suggest me some books for relational database design ordatabase modelling(Knowledgeable yet simple) i.e. from which we couldlearn database relationships(one to many,many to oneetc.....),building ER diagrams,proper usage of ER diagrams in ourdatabase(Primary key foreign key relations),designing smallmodules,relating tables and everything that relates about databasedesign....Coz I think database design is the crucial part of databaseand we must know the design part very first before starting up withdatabases.....Thanks and very grateful to all of you....Vikas
I've got a popular problem so i get a message that server acces denied! ..
But that what is different in my error.... When i use same setting same database and connection string (on MSDE server) there is no problem...
On SQL server i have got windwos authentication but i added all accounts as ASPNET and SA.... and when i try to connect by
RETTO - name of my server
server=RETTO;uid=sa;pwd=password;database=db1; or by Integrated Security=SSPIserver=RETTO;uid=RETTOASPNET;database=db1;
I CAN BROWSE RECORDS THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH CONNECTION!!! but when i try to update or iinsert or delete something in database there becomame this error that access denied or server does not exist!!!
PLEASE HELP I'm FIGHTING WITH THAT FOR OVER 5 DAYS!!!
I MADE FOR MY ACCOUNTS (SA, ASPNET) ALL THINGS ALLOWED AS EXECUTING stored procedures.. OR ACCESING datatables with insert delete and update query WHERE IS THE PROBLEM!!!??
I'm having a strange problem with this but I know (and admit) that the problem is on my PC and nowhere else. My firewall was causing a problem because I was unable to PING the database server, switching this off gets a successful PING immediately. The most useful utility to date is running netstat -an in the command window. This illustrates all the connections that are live and ports that are being listed to. I can establish a connection both by running

Both these utilities show as establishing a connection in netstat so I am able to connect the database server every time, this worked throughout yesterday and has continued this morning.
The problem is when I attempt to use SQL Server Management Studio. When I attempt to connect to tcp:sql5.hostinguk.net, 1433 nothing shows in netstat at all. There is an option to encrypt the connection in the connection properties tab in management studio, when I enable this I do get an entry in netstat -an, see below:
Amost as if it's trying the different ports but you get this time_wait thing. The error message is more meaningful and hopefull because I get:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I would expect this as the DNS has not been advised to encrypt the conection.
This is much better than the : Login failed for user 'COX10289'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) that I get, irrespective of whether I enter a password or not.
This is on a XP machine trying to connect to the remote webhosting company via the internet.
I can ping the server
I have enabled shared memory and tcp/ip in protocols, named pipes and via are disabled
I do not have any aliases set up
No I do not force encryption
I wonder if you have any further suggestions to this problem?
