Im getting quite desperate and frustrated!! I have installed SQL 2005 Express successfully and can connect to it fine using Management Studio locally.
If I try and connect remotely using Management Studio Im getting the old Error 10061 : The machine actively refused the connection!
I have set it up exactly as per all documentation and help from the forums. Remote connections is on TCP and Named Pipes, I even have the firewall disabled.
Im running it on Windows Server 2003 Standard.
Any help would be really apriciated as i have tried everything!!!
probably this was answered before but I am not sure what to search for.
I have the problem that I can not log into MSSMSE with one user which had no admin rights. Therefore I changed so now the user has admin rights. Still there is a login error, I can not log in with this user. Only the admin with whom I installed MSSMSE can access it using the windows authentification.
What do I have to change, and where to get access using this other user?
I have created a database with several tables. I want to create a database diagram to show the relationshipbetween the tables. Below are the steps from the SQL Server 2005 documentation on how to create a database diagram. The problem is that when I right click on the Database Diagrams folder I am only given two options. They are:"Working with SQL Server diagrams" and "Refresh"There is no menu choice to create a new database diagram. Can anyone tell me what the problem here is?
To create a new database diagramIn Object Explorer, right-click the Database Diagrams folder or any diagram in that folder. Choose New Database Diagram on the shortcut menu. The Add Table dialog box appears. Select the required tables in the Tables list and click Add. The tables are displayed graphically in the new database diagram.
I am working through a book about setting up a database, though i'm doing it slightly differently, using a sql server database on a remote server rather than the local sql server express database shipped with visual studio. everything has been going fine until i've reached a part where they want to add a database diagram to the existing database. they talk about right clicking the database diagram node, and selecting add, but for some reason there is no database diagram node, so i can't do it this way. the book also says using the data>add new>diagram from the menu, but when i do this i either have no diagram option (when i have no table opened) or else the diagram option is greyed out and unselectable (when i have a table opened). any ideas on how i can add a database diagram? dc
How do u print the database diagram...basically is there any process that can generate the database diagram from the database which is already existing with the referential integrity...
Can anyone tell me about the storage of Database Diagrams. I want to know where these diagrams are stored in SQL Server? If it is in System table, which table and how to copy these diagrams into another database?
i Created DataBase diagram in Sqlserver2005. Now i want to save as a file.Is there any way to save as a file ? or any Alternative Method. Please Help Me.
I have taken database diagram from my Sql Server 2005. I copied this on word, but size it is showing is very small. I used all the zoom options provided in Sql Server, but it is not clear. Please guide me how to do this
i am trying to create a database diagram but this error appears. what does this mean and what should i do? tnx
This database does not have a valid dbo user or you do not have permissions to impersonate the dbo user, so database diagramming is not available. Ensure the dbo account is valid and ensure that you have impersonate permission on the dbo account.
I am a beginner in learning SQLServer 7.And I learn it by using its own help file. The only problem troubles me is that after I do some options in database diagram,there's nothing happen.And then no matter what I do,database diagram panel is always blank.
What is the advantages/disadvantages of using Database Diagram and link all the tables in MS SQL Server Management Studio versus letting the application check and link the different tables at run time? Currently, I do not have all my tables linked in a Database Diagram. I do everything at run time in my application code behind. What are the best practices? Which is easier or perhaps more secure?
Hi, I have a database diagram on my sql server 2005, how can i copy that diagram to my pen drive so that i can build the database using that diagram on another computer...well the bottom line is i want to copy the datbase from one computer to another. thanksVishal
All -- Please help. I am having trouble printing a database diagram. When I do, I get junk artifacts on the page on each table, shaded areas that obscure part of the picture. I get these results when I print with Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and when I print to my HP4200N laser printer. Is there a required driver or something? Please advise. (I apologize but this is the only good place I could find for this post-- if you have any hints for other locations then please post links.) Thank you. -- Mark Kamoski
I attached a SQL express database created on another computer on another SQL express instance running on another computer. When I tried to open a database diagram previously created i receive the following error:
"Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects."
I must mention that in the attached database the server login is mapped to the databse as db_owner role. So what's the problem ?
Using SQLServer 2005 Express Ver 9.00, the Database Diagrams print with what looks like page borders overlapping on top of the field names. I have to document my database layouts in printed format and...this bug is not helping any!!! I've seen other posts around town so I know its not an issue with my installation, but a known and reported bug. Anyone know of when a Fix will take place, or is there a workaround?
Hi I am using the databse diagrammer to create a database. creating the tables and fields is no problem but there seems to be a lack of choice with joins and I cannot see how to set cardinality. any help appreciated.
I've been trying to get the scripts posted earlier to the group byClay Beatty to work properly. Using the three components he posted, Ihave managed to get a new SP generated. However, when I paste thisscrip into a new copy of the original database (different name, samestructure as a test), I get an Invalid Object Name for the temp table#PersistedVariables.Has anyone run into something like this before? Or used the scripts Imentioned successfully? Help would be appreciated. The resultingsection of code causing the error is posted below.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and i guess the sql server comes with it is the 2005 express version. So, my problem is: when i try to create a new database diagram on a new .mdf database, i get the error "Invalid String Class". I believe this has something to do with some unregistered dlls, but i dont know how to solve... Any help?
I upgraded from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The database owner is sa and I am logging in as sa in Management Studio. But when I click on Database diagrams I get the following error
"Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects."
