I downloaded the sample database AdventureWorks from microsoft . When I run the download it created the data and log files under data folder in MSQLalong with other data and log files of master databases etc. However I do not see this database in SQLserver management studio. Can some one help me how to fix this so that I will be able to see this database in management studio.
I am downloading this for SQL server reporting purpose
Hi,
I am not sure is this a proper place for my question.
All we know that creating a database can be done as the following.
1) Create a project named DBExample
2) Click Add->New Item.
3) Select SQL Databse and type a name.(Ex: Database1.mdf) A database is added to the project
4) Then add table and input values.
5) Set the primary key....
My question is I parsed a text file to form a 2d string array x. How can I convert x into the database?
Thanks
Hello...
I want to develop a web site having two features
1. Online Shopping2. Forums
Im using SQL Server, ASP.NET and C#. Now the problem is that how do I configure the Databases. Whether I create new database for each or I marge the both things into one database. if i create saperate databases for each of the feature then users have to register for two times, first for forums and second for shopping. I dont want to do this...! I want users to register just for once.

Hi there.
I tried finding any info regarding this approach and I can't find any, so here I am (again!).
I'm trying to create a database using SMO on a freshly installed SQL Server Express (not going through the advanced install, not going through the surface area configuration, so a lot of things are "wrong").
I get an error
- use SMO to try and create a database; this is the pseudo-code combo used:
1. create new Smo.Database object;
2. create new primary file group and data file for that database (using Smo.FileGroup and Smo.DataFile); add them to the database.
3. invoke Create(). catch exception with the following details:

with the operating system error 5(Access is denied.).
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related

Seems like user rights error.
Long story short, the only way the creation step works is if I change the Log on for the SQL Express service from the default Network Service to Local System (either through code or not).
Now, I know LocalSystem is not a wise idea, but it seems to be the only way.
I know it's probably something stupid, but what am I missing?
Thanks you in advance
Hi All,
I have a web site where the user can select from a list of databases (they're actually all the same structure, but have data unique to each client). Each database is a SQL 2005 database held in the App_Data folder. This all works a treat. Each database is simply named after the client it is holding data for, and the connection string for each is stored in a database that is accessed
However, what I need is a form where a database name can be entered, and I can then create a new database with the same structure as the others - including tables, indexes and stored-procedures. I know I can use the copy database wizard in the Management Studio, but that isn't an option to the users of this system (it's to be used on an intranet, and the page I'm trying to create will only be used by project managers - but these people won't have a clue when it comes to configuring databases themselves). I have scripted a database, but have no idea on how I can actually use this script from within Visual Studio and more importantly, don't know how to configue it to have the database name as a parameter.
I've also seen some examples that suggest using SQL-DMO, but haven't been able to work out how to use it and according to Microsoft it shouldn't be used for new developments (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms132924.aspx).
Anyway, I really hope someone is able to offer some assistance on this one as I've spent a whole day trawling forums and various web-sites trying to find a solution to this.
Thanks & regards,
Paul
I would like to know the sql command to generate all the scripts of a database so that I can replicate the same database for testing purpose. For instance, I need those scripts to help me re-create the database itself and indexes, triggers, and stored procedures of it if possible.
I remember there was a command to display all these scripts in Sql but I forgot it. If someone knows it, please help. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have a SQL database dump with me. I would like to create a database using the dump. Could somebody help me with the steps?
Thanks :)
I've never scripted a creation of a database and it's schema,I have started to put the script together and wondered if the following two scenarios were possible and if so could the following be possible and if so could you show me.
Scenario 1: Before the script runs it checks to see if a database of the same name exists. In this example the database name is "database1". If it does the script will stop and display a message along the lines of "You are trying to create a database, which name already exists. Please either drop or rename the current database and rerun this script."
Scenario 2:The more difficult one I think. Is that it checks to see if "database1" exists. If it does it displays a message along the lines of "The database you are trying to create already exists. Please confirm that you either want to Drop the Database" You then press a key on the keyboard to continue the script and the database is dropped. It will then tell you to rerun the script in order to create the "database1" database. Or you could even give them the option to either drop the database or rename it with "_todatdate" at the end of it, but if you can get the script to do different things with different keyboard strikes?

Hi all :)My apologies if I posted in the wrong groups, but I just jumpedin MS SQL waters, so any guidance will be appreciated.What I'm trying to do is the following process:[1] present operator with a web page (script)[2] once filled with db name and username, script will create..sql file[3] osql.exe will be called with, i presume, -i file.sql andcreate a databaseI have limited SQL knowledge, but I got the information fromEnterprise Manager when I ran 'All Tasks -Generate SQLScript' on how the .sql file should look like.I realized what are the commands that would create a fresh DB(I ran this for newly created DB), and figured my .php scriptshould create such a file.It's fairly basic, and I'm almost sure all of you know howoutputed .sql file looks like, but anyway here it is:Script is called with parameters 'six' as database name and'magarac' as user name:---------------------------------------------------------------IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name= N'six')DROP DATABASE [six]GOCREATE DATABASE [six] ON (NAME = N'six_Data', FILENAME = N'E:Databasepathsix_Data.MDF' , SIZE = 1, MAXSIZE = 20,FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = N'six_Log', FILENAME = N'E:Databasepathsix_Log.LDF' , SIZE = 1, MAXSIZE = 20, FILEGROWTH= 10%)COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASGOexec sp_dboption N'six', N'autoclose', N'false'GO....use [six]GOif not exists (select * from dbo.sysusers where name =N'guest' and hasdbaccess = 1)EXEC sp_grantdbaccess N'guest'GOif not exists (select * from dbo.sysusers where name =N'sinisam')EXEC sp_grantdbaccess N'magarac', N'magarac'GOexec sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'magarac'GO---------------------------------------------------------------I managed to get an exact replica of .sql file that EnterpriseManager created. It leads me to believe that this way ofautomated database creation is indeed possible.Really sorry for making you to go through all this text, butafter I get a green light on this from you guys, I'll have abit more problematic question.Is there any reason why this should not be used, or would fail?Thanks in advance :)P.S.Just as a heads-up, next part of my problem is automatedcreation of new MS SQL server login to use with new DB.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a production database, but due to the crippling load of somereporting tools, we are looking to have a separate reporting database.Due to it's nature, the reporting database doesn't need to be as upto date as the master, perhaps it could be refreshed every evening?What I wish to know is the best way to go about this. Replicating awhole database seems excessive as there are 7000+ tables and we don'tneed it so closely matching the production database. Log shippingalso seems out as we need the reporting database to be highlyavailable and if we keep applying transaction logs ever 15 minutes orso, we need to kick all the users out.Is there a way of scripting or automatically getting SQL Server 2k tocopy over the last full backup it did and apply this to anotherserver?

In the paste I have used SQL2000 to create db from the Query Analyser. In SQL2005 I can't see Query Analzyer but found under programs --> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 --> Configuration Tools --> Reporting Services Configuration --> Database Setup. It creates a database and I can connect to it from VS.NET. Here is my dilema, I was provided SQL scripts to create tables, stored procs etc. Where and how do I run these scripts to create these things in my newly create db.
Also how do I remove a db in SQL2005?
I am unable to create the personal.mdf when I run my homepage. I get the following error

Hi guys,
i`ve just downloaded a copy of MS SQL 2005 Express. I'm relatively new to programming and DB management.
can i create a DATABASE using SQL 2005 Express itself? Or do i need other software?
On certain servers, I don't want developers to be able to create assemblies.
Unfortunately, the command
sp_configure 'clr enabled', 0
only prevents the CLR-type from being executed, not its creation.
I am unable to rename nor put triggers on
sys.assemblies,
sys.assembly_modules,
sys.assembly_files, and
sys.assembly_references .
I would prefer the user know the boundaries well before implementation.
Has anyone succeeded at this?
I notice when I create a new database within my SQL Server that the
permissions for the new database automatically adds a user (Who is configured
as sysadmin) with dbo permissions to this database.
Both within the login properties of the select user (User mapping) is listed
as Default Schema, dbo and within the permissions of the database listed as
user with connect permissions.
I have other users configured as sysadmin and they do not get this rights
(They are not expliticly listed within user mapping with dbo or permissions
as user within the database).
I've inherited this system and wonder if the user has somehow changed the
new database procedure so it changes the default permissions of new databases.
Any way to check what he's done, I can see no differences between him and
the other sysadmins but he's definatly specifically listed as a dbo on all
new databases.
Although I don't mind him having access, he's a sysadmin after all, I'd like
to make it uniform thoughout the system, i.e. using the inhertited
permissions rather than specific permissions that seem to be created when the
new database is created.
Any ideas?

Hello,
Is there a way to trigger the execution of a procedure when a database is created ? We're using this 3rd party system in which you only specify the database server. Whenever the users create a new "Storage Area", the system actually creates a new database.
I need to handle backups for that system so I want to create a procedure that will generate a backup device and backup jobs automatically whenever a database is created.
I will also need 2 procedures to handle database renaming and deletion. I searched around but can't find a way to trigger the execution of my procedures.
I need a trigger to set the creation date of a new record in the database... I tried the following, but it changed all records, not just the new one...
CREATE TRIGGER trgCreationDate
ON [dbo].tabCustomerLookup
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE tabCustomerLookup
SET CreationDate = getdate()
END

Can anyone suggest an appropriate strategy to create unique index's when a distributed database is used. As a bit of a background I have several SQL Server 2005 servers scattered around the country and I am trying to come up with a way to create a unique index i.e. one that hasn't been used in a particular table say Staff in any of the databases around the country.
Performance is an issue particularly as our network isn't that fantastic has anyone done something similar and achieved reasonable speeds?

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 2005, and I would like to understand how to create and to drop a database without errors:
Infact, if I try to create a database that already exists, SQL Server throws the error "Impossible to create the database because it already exists", and if I try to drop a database that doesn't exist, SQL Server throws the error "Impossible to drop the database because it doesn't esist".
Before creating or dropping a database, I should control if it exists or not...
Is there a method to do that?
I found that such control for a table is the following one (in this case, I drop the table only if it exists):
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Table1]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Table1]
I tried to adapt the statement to the database case, modifying it as follows:
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[Database1]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsDatabase') = 1)
drop database [Database1]
but it didn't function (it was a blind attempt).
Can you suggest me a statement to do that?
Thank you very much

Hello:
I'd like to check the creation date of a database diagram, how to do that?
please advise,
Thank you
Hello, I was wondering if any of you experts might assist me in properly creating a database for my application. I've been pondering for a few days on how to accomplish this, but it seems that it doesnt have to be as complex as I am thinking...I just have to know how.
First off, I want to populate a dataset from a database in which I can databind to a datalist or repeater control. My datalist or repeater will have the following information in the ItemTemplate. Each ItemTemplate will consist of a table with 1 row with 3 columns cells. In each cell, the data will be laid out as accordingly.
[Unique Number] [Description ][Price ]
1000 XYZ $100.00
1001 ZXY $250.00
When the datalist or repeater is populated, it will need to be tried against a value that the user selects. For instance, the user selects 100,000 from a listbox and fetches the next page which will show the diagram above...he/she will see those results. However, if the user selects 110,000, the diagram above will have for the most part the same Unique Number and Descriptions, but the prices will vary. The reason I say for the most part with the Unique Number and Descriptions, is because I want to later be able to add admin access to add additional rows and appropriate prices to each Unique Number and Description.
Now the tricky part is, I could just add the listbox values to a table as a unique key and associated them with the Unique Number, Description and Price, however there are about 50 different options the user can select from and approx 50 different rows of Unique Numbers, Descriptions and Price . So you can see, I would have to set up the diagram each time for every possible selection from the listbox, which wouldnt really be efficient I presume.
I want to be able to populate the datalist or repeater so it could have say 50 Unique Numbers with Descriptions and Price at selection 100,000. And also that it might only populate with 45 Unique Numbers and Descrptions and Price at selection 110,000 because the 5 missing dont pertain to the selection of 110,000. I am trying to do it this way because at sometime, I want the admin to be able to add/delete a Unique Number, a Description for it and a corresponding price that correlates to the selection from the listbox.
Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate it. For the most part I understand what Im doing, I just need to be walked thru it a bit. Thanks again!

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) 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. SQLExpress database file auto-creation error:
The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.
