Database Design Tool
Feb 5, 2008Hi Guys,
I am not sure this is the right section to post this in, but ModelRight (www.modelright.com) is releasing a new version of its database design tool that supports SQS 2005/2008. I think the tool provides many advantages over the existing tools (deep SQS support, excellent UI, easy to use, etc).
Currently ModelRight is looking for SQS beta testers. If you want to participate just please go to the website and download the latest version.
Thanks.
Easy Design Tool
Mar 23, 2007I have fairly simple table queries, and only a few dicey things, which I can handle in access. Is their a design tool for sql as easy and convenient as access?
Can someone suggest a good beginner's book on sql server 2005?
Report Design Environment - Tool Is Slow!
Mar 5, 2008Does anyone else have problems with the speed of the design environment for SSRS reports? We are using visual studio to create and manage hundreds of production reports (Oil and Gas).
It literally takes 5 seconds for the design environment to react to each change in the report layout. For instance, a common change is to reposition a text box, change the length, text, font size, font weight etc...:
Grab the text box - 5 seconds until designer responds - then reposition
Grab the edge to change the length - ditto
change text - 5 seconds for designer to "save" the change and allow next action....
blah - blah - blah....
So, performing the simple change above takes at least 30 seconds in addition to whatever time it took to edit the text box.
I've talked to the other developers using SSRS here and they all report that's "just the way it is".
Is this normal or is there an environment issue/setting we are overlooking.
Thanks, Mike

Jul 23, 2005Hi all.I'm looking for a tool which should act like some kind of middleware/logical layer bewtween the SQL server and the webbased user interface.- It should be possible to easily create simple web forms (only datainput and output) without programming effort by "clicking" the fieldsand their order on the web mask within an admnistrative interface.- It should also be bossible to add "new fields" to the database,including field type, permissions, value lists etc. (excluding anybusiness logic) without programming effort by administration.I know, that most workflow tools or "Trouble Ticket Tools", based ondatabases have this feature to easily configure new masks and add newfields to the database, but i need it as an tool-unspecific layer forthe MS SQL Server.Thank you very much for your feedback, any ideas are welcome!Best regards, Heiko.

How to design tables in SQL Server for the above.
Database Design/query Design
Feb 13, 2002Ok, 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:
-------
Fixture
-------
fix_id
fix_date
fix_played
----
Team
----
tem_id
tem_name
-----------
TeamFixture
-----------
fix_id
tem_id
homeorawayteam
goals
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!
DB Design :: Table Design For Packages
Aug 18, 2015I would like to create a table called product. My objective is to get list of packages available for each product in data grid view column while selecting each product. Each product may have different packages type (eg:- Nos, CTN, OTR etc). Some product may have two packages and some for 3 packages etc. Quantity in each packages also may be differ ( for eg:- for some CTN may contain 12 nos or in other case 8 nos etc). Prices for each packages also will be different that also need to show. How to design the table..
Product name :
Nestle milk |
Rainbow milk
packages :
CTN,OTR, NOs |
CTN, NOs
Price:
50,20,5 |
40,6
(Remarks for your reference):CTN=10nos, OTR=4 nos
| CTN=8 Nos

View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL Tool
Aug 5, 2005Hello,I'm looking for recommendations for SQL tools used for comparing schemas from different databases. I would like the tool to be able to compare schemas for at least two databases and list the difference in tables, sps, functions, and view. Even if the both schemas contain the same structures I would like to know what differences exist. Also, I would like to be able to type in a table field name and get a list of every place in the db that field is referenced. On another note, how do others go about maintaining a version history of db structures? Any tools available for this functionality? Currently, I use visual source safe for my app. code. I could place copies of my SPs in visual source safe and edit them within visual studio. I'm not sure how I would easily get the edited version into my sql database without having to create a script or copy the edited version back to the db. Any thoughts?Any information is appreciated.Oscar

Apr 23, 2008Hi guys, Im trying to use Bulk copy to transform a csv file into a table
BULK INSERT [BULK_INSERT_TEST]

FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',

)
--*STOCK LOOKS LIKE THIS

TABLE Looks like this
id, stock,barcode, qty
can anyone give any guidance on performing this - at present this doesn't seem to work. Worth mentioning id is autoincrementing. I would also need to strip quotes around the second field. Note. Stock file has a header - do I need to strip this to use BCP?
Any help appreciated.

SQL Bcp Tool
Oct 18, 2007Hi,
I am using bcp to copy some data from a flat file to a data table using the format file that look like this.
9.0
7
1 SQLCHAR 0 4 "" 1 Col1 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
2 SQLCHAR 0 9 "" 2 Col2 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
3 SQLCHAR 0 8 "" 3 Col3 ""
4 SQLCHAR 0 7 "" 4 Col4 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
There are 4 columns in total, however some rows have missing values for Column 4, and but given there are no field separators (all columns have fixed width and data is truncated if needed), how should the format be written to define a row terminator to apply to Column 3 if Column 4 is null.
Thanks for your suggestions.
What Ad Hoc Tool Do You Use?
May 23, 2008
I'm in the process of delivering a SQL Server BI solution to a customer. I have the cube built, SSIS working and an SSRS package with several hundred reports. They would like to roll their own reports.
I've looked at ProClarity (or whatever MS calls it now) and Report Builder. Both seem to have their pros and cons.
What tool does the community recommend?
Thanks.
Is This The Right Tool?
Jul 20, 2006I think Service Broker is the right tool for what I want to do but need confirmation. Here is what I want to do.
Our company sells small business consulting services. When a client signs up with us, we put a server at their site that runs our app (using SQL Server 2005). Once the server is setup at their site and operational we constantly send certain information from that server to our central corporate server. There could be thousands of records every day being sent from each of these servers to our corporate server. We're using webservices now to transfer this data from each server but I'm afraid we're reaching a point where webservices will no longer work because of the volume of data.
1) I assume that Service Broker was created, in part at least, to address these types of situations?
2) If #1 is correct, is there any step by step examples/instruction that shows me how to use Service Broker to communicate between two SQL Server databases on two different servers?
Thanks very much.

I downloaded the StudentActivities sample app from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345152.aspx
When I want to go through this tutorial I encounter the following problem:
Database 'C:WebSitesStudentActivitiesRegistryDataStudentActivities.mdf' cannot be upgraded because its non-release version (587) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database.Could not open new database 'C:WebSitesStudentActivitiesRegistryDataStudentActivities.mdf'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 950)
So attaching the DB seems to doesn't work. The reason for this is probably that this sample app src was written in an older version of Visual WebDeveloper Express 2005 +SQL Server Express 2005.
Therefore I would like if someone can provide me with the sql src of this StudentActivities database. Then I can create the database myself from this. Or is there some tool which canconvert a mdf to sql?
I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

SQL Web Admin Tool
Mar 4, 2004Hi,
I've been having trouble getting this tool to work with my server/database. I'm using XP Pro, MSDE, .NET 1.1.4322 and IIS 5.1. IIS has been installed and tested with the help of others. .asp pages are being served locally and to another PC on the network. No obvious problem here. When I installed MSDE I used the SAPWD='strongpassword" command to create a password. I also built a new database. I had positive feedback on both of these actions.
Now to the tool - when I activate the administrator it pops with the little window saying Web Server Configuration. It lists the following options:
Desired Port:
IIS
Cassini Personal Web Server
Restore Faults
and Start and Stop buttons.
If I leave the setting on IIS and click Start it opens a webpage entitled Web Data Administrator. Moving further down I have a welcome message and then the line -
Please enter a SQL Server name:
Username: [Desktopob shadowed entry]
Password
Server (local)
Authentication Method:
Windows Intergrated
SQl Login
and then a Login button
If I select SQL Login and enter "sa" as the username and then my password leaving (local) as the server I get the following error:
Invalid username and/or password, you are using a windows login that is not your own, or server does not exist.
I have tried all combination of \desktopsa, sa, you name it. The password I selected is correct because I made a point of writing it down so I wouldn't forget it. I have also tried all the combos using Cassini as well.
This is where I'm stuck at this point. All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
Modelling Tool Help
Jan 6, 2005Hello,
For management that doesn't have the software I do, I've been using a PDF postscript utility to print the model and give it to them. However, I have to fit the model for the specific page (which is really small, and you have to zoom in), or you have to view it on multiple pages. Well multiple pages can be a pain, because the table you are looking at is on page 1, but the relationships are on page 12, 22, or 50, for example. So I was looking for a tool that is cheap enough to implement that we could look at the entire model on one "surface" (not necessary to print), that the model could be viewed in.
Thanks,
Brian

The Best O/R Mapping Tool
Aug 6, 2007I'm trying to find out the best O/R mapping tool for .NET. A perfect tool would begin with the database model and would be capable of generating 2 layers: the Domain layer (normal classes) and the Persistence layer (methods for storing and retrieving the domain layer objects from the database.
This tool would also be capable of generating the corresponding Visual Studio solution and projects.
I've already tried NetTiers, but it generates so many layers that the code is very dificult to manage and understand.
So any of you know a tool similar to the described above?

Submitting A Tool
Dec 10, 2002Steve McCormick writes "I have written a stored procedure that may be used as a utility. I developed it because I keep having to replicate the content of support data tables between environments when I don't have a link and cannot use the import/export utilities. The procedure generates insert statements that replicate the content of a table. You simply provide the table name as a parameter and it generates an insert statement for each record. The insert statement is dynamic for however many columns the table has and performs appropriate conversions of data to represent how the insert statements should be written. If the table has a primary key, it encases the insert statement in an (IF NOT EXISTS) condition that checks the primary key duplication constraints before attempting the insert.
Would you be interested in this tool for your readers and if so, how do I submit it?"
