Default Output Encoding For Management Studio 2005
Feb 26, 2008
Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but..
Our company has just migrated to 2005 from 2000. I've got Management Studio doing much of what I need it to do from the old enterprise manager (which I wish I could go back to).
My problem is this.
When saving CSV files from a script run inside Management Studio (ad hoc reports, custom queries, etc) the default encoding is to UNICODE. This produces files that excel doesn't handle very well (most of the people I'd be sending the results to would freak out when the CSV file doesn't appear as expected).
I've discovered that I can change the encoding to ANSI when I save the query but as it's a manual process I'm sure I'm going to get tired of it very quickly. I would really like to make ANSI encoding the default.
(at the moment and for the foreseeable future, we don't need the functionality that Unicode provides).
Anyone know how to do this -- I've tried searching the docs without success.
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.
After generating one of my reports, I process the XML output through an XSLT stylesheet and export it to a text file. The issue is that after the export, the generated output text file begins with the special Byte-Order-Mark marker "EF BB BF" standard to Unicode files encoded in UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32. I have explicitly set the attributes of the xsl output element to <xsl:output encoding="us-ascii" media-type="text/plain" method="text">, but it seems as though those are ignored when the output file is written. I cannot have these characters, because I am generating a fixed-width file for input into a legacy system.
Any suggestions or thoughts on what is causing the BOM to be written to my file, even though I have set the encoding to be different than UTF-8?
I currently have SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 and would like to upgrade my machine to SQL Developer 2005 as easily as possible. Keeping my databases and such.
Any recommendations on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated.
I have some SQL CE database .sdf file on my handheld, and I was trying to connect to that file via SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, and it does not work. I am wondering if there is any good tool that I can use on desktop to connect to sqlce .sdf database file on my handheld?
Is it possible to install the management studio on a workstation? I am running SQL Server 2005 on a server and would like to be able to access management studio without having to log onto the server--just like I can do with Exchange System Manager.
I haven't been able to find anything out there on this. I'm probably just looking in the wrong places.

I have created two instaces on the Database Engine and have managed to also create a linkedserver between the two instances.
Now I'm trying to query two tables from both instances and I'm getting a collation conflict error. I tried to change this on the Database's propertry to match the other one, but still getting an error, see below:-

In Enterprise Manager, (in Management| SQL Agent| Jobs) you are provided with a great view on the right pane showing many details of all the SQL Agent jobs on the server. This includes, whether it's enabled, scheduled, running, when it last run and when it will next run.
Is there any way to obtain a similar overview of SQL Agent jobs in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio?
I just installed SQL Server Developer 2005 but Management Studio is not available in the Start menu. Can someone tell me how to install it? Can someone tell me what I did wrong in the installastion?
There are four limitations or apparent bugs I have experienced in 2005MS. Two I know are for real.Two real limitations/bugs --1. Can't edit table-valued function.2. Can't get nulls to be missing (blank) in text output paneTwo more I just encountered, and am wondering about --3. DB->All Tasks->Import Data->Load CSV file (exported from Excel) ->garbled table as some rows end up being extra columns. The samespreadsheets load okay from XLS format.Table should have shape A, instead has shape B:A B|...| |...||...| |...||...| |......||...| |......||...| |...||...||...|4. SET NOCOUNT OFF has no effect after SET NOCOUNT ONIs there a way to work around these, or are they real bugs?
just now i've installed SQL SERVER 2005 Management studio. i was throwed by an error when i started to run this Management Tool or EXE. the error was as follows:

i would like to ask if there is a way to FILTER THE IPADDRESSES of users who wants to login the SQL Server Management Studio. right now, we are using Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2005.
i just want to limit the users who can log in at Management Studio, the users know the password of SA, and i can't change the password coz we have deployed the programs with odbc connection using SA. so i thought of filtering the ipaddress of computers i want to grant access to SQL Server Management Studio, if its possible.
I installed enterprise sql server 2005, sql server 2005 backward compatibility, aql server 2005 mobile(ENU) deverloper tools on the window XP. How to install 2005 management studio in this same machine?
I'm trying to apply some security to my database, so i've created a role, added my user to the role and then set the security rights for the role. Everything work great, the security right behave exactly as defined....However, when I go back the the Permissions pages, the values that i've already set don't appear in the lists (the all still work). In Fact they don't show up anywhere either in the permissions for the table / sp concerned or the right for the user or role.Is it just me, or is it a problem with SQL 2005 Management Studio? or can anybody suggest a way of finding the securty rights of any given database object?Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.1116.00RegardsGary T
I am just starting to learn SQL 2005 Express. After opening the Management Studio Express, I right Click on the Databases node and create new database. then create a name etc. The problem is that when I click ok to create the new database, I get a warning saying that Input a filename. However when I click on filename (after filepath) it is greyed out and I cant add a filename.
Found some bad behavior in the 2005 Management Studio Import and Export Wizard.
In the Select Source Tables and Views box, I selected multiple objects, and then clicked Edit Mappings.
The Transfer Settings dialog box appears, and states: "Define the settings that can be applied to all selected table transfers." I selected the "Delete rows in existing destination tables" option to overwrite the existing data. But Management Studio DID NOT DELETE THE ROWS IN THE EXISTING TABLES. Instead, the records were appended to existing data, wreaking havoc on our month-end accounting system. This happened multiple times, and occured even though the final screen confirmed that existing records would be deleted in each of the individual tables.
Is there any way to have the results pane auto hide ? Im lazy and dont want to manually (ctl-R) hide each time i run something, then starting writing code again
I have just downloaded VB Express, that comes with SQL Express
In order to manage and use SQL databases it seems I have to use SQL Studio Mgt Tool. But, where is it? I can only see Configuration Tools, but not any Mgt tool or DB Engine......
I handle all licensing for our companies. I am trying to completely understand the licensing and want to insure if I approve the installation of Mgmt Studio 2005, that it is covered by SQL Developer licenses?
Every time I try to remove 'condensed type' from the custom table view (working in database diagrams) the MSE crashes on me, as soon as I push the < button to remove it from the list of columns.
Is there a forum or place to post such a bug, or someone to send full details to? When it dies, it doesn't give me an option to send the information to MS.
We have a weird problem where when one of our users selects to login into a database using Windows Authentication the wrong login information is passed to the DB.
We have two domains (A & B), each with a SQL Server running in them. We have workstations in domain B that the users log into and run Management Studio. When connecting to the database server in domain B using Windows Authentication the correct credentials are passed and everything works great (Busername). In fact, using Windows Authentication to the server in domain A works fine also (Busername) for all but one of our users. For our one user however, when logged into domain B (Busername) and using Management Studio to connect to the server in domain A with Windows Authentication she gets and error saying 'Access Denied: Ausername is an invalid login'. Before connecting the login box actualy reads 'Busername' in the username box (greyed out of course). When looking at the database log from domain A it has an entry saying 'Failed login for Ausername'.
I've never seen this before, in fact I've seen a lot of posts asking if this was possible but the answer always was it isn't. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm pretty new to using SQL 2005 Management Studio. Generally speaking, it works pretty much the way I'm used to (using Enterprise Manager) as far as moving data around and designing databases is concerned. But I've been trying to import some data to my local SQL server from an online SQL database and I am getting the most bizarre results.
Basically, it appears to work perfectly, but when the import is finished, there is only one new row in the destination table.
I have tried this with two completely different online databases and I have tried importing using a query and just downloading the table as-is, but whatever happens, I just get one row! All of the databases I'm exporting from or importing into are SQL 2000 - I just happen to be using the SQL 2005 client software.
Have you heard of anything like this?
I'm appending the report to the end of this email. As you can see, it says "success, success" all the way down and it clearly states "71236 rows transferred", but when I get done, there's just one.
Any thoughts?
One explanation is that every new row is overwriting the last new row somehow, but I don't think so because the row that actually gets copied is always the first one in the record set, not the last. Unless they're being transferred in reverse order, I suppose.
I'm pretty stumped and I haven't found any useful blogs or help on the web.
Hope you can think of something because I don't have Enterprise Manager on my computer any more and it's going to be a pain to install it.
Jon

I have installed SQL 2005 Express Management Studio several times and It fails to completely install. I get a message that SQL Server Express 2005 x84 did not install properly. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it but I get the same problem. My Visual Web 2005 Express Edition and Visual Basic 2005 Express gives an error when I try to add a new database. The error is: "Failed to generate instance of SQL server due to a failure copying database files. The connection will be closed. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this? My computer system meets the hardware requirements.
I am trying to install SQL Server Management Studio Express(SSMSE) on Windows XP SP2. But installtion does not get completed. It goes unto last step in the installation and then rollback itself. At the lat screen it displayes the message that "SQL Server Management Studio Express installation could not be completed as it was intreupted". Though I did not do any thing? I tried at least 20 times but it ends up here. I followed all the steps as defined in SQL Server Express setup on Microsoft site?
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: 25 - Connection string is not valid) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 87)

This server is not a production server, as only just installing - like it works fine and then just fails without warning.
Sorry if someone already covered this, but I can't find anything about it.
I just installed (3 hours ago actually) SQL2005 Standard Edition (from the Launch event) on my machine, and i don't seem to have a shortcut to the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio anywhere.
I looked for a likely executable, but couldn't find it anywhere. This wouldn't bother me as much if I could use Enterprise Manager from 2K, but SQL2005 will not allow it to register.
How do I get this going? There are people here that want to inspect it's features, etc. I haven't got anything to show them.
