Development Environment Setup
Apr 16, 2008
Hi,
I am looking for advice with setting up a 2005 environment for development, debugging and testing using a laptop as the development platform and a desktop pc as the database engine both connected via a LAN. The current configuration is that all the full blown Visual Studio / SQL development software is installed on the development laptop and can go wherever the developer goes, and the Express versions are installed on the desktop pc so that the development database has an unbroken connection with the network. This setup worked well in the past for developing applications that use a typical database interface. The applications could be completely developed and tested before it went live on the corporation€™s full blown production SQL server. Now we want to utilize the Reporting Services/SSIS in our development efforts and I would like to know what parts of the development software (Express vs. Full) should be installed on what unit (laptop vs. desktop) to fully develop and test using Reporting Services before we move to production? And anything else, like what services need to be running on what units etc.
TIA
Jake

Hi all
I need to move an entire live environment from MS SQL 2000 (because of developing further before uppgrading) to SQL Express but cannot get it to work. Is this possible to do at all?

I have been looking for some documentation that would support or rejectmy opinion on Production -vs- Development naming conventions. Ibelieve that each environment should be housed on separate servers withidentical names, access, users, stored procs....... If you eitheragree or disagree with this methodology, I would appreciate your input.TIA,Bill

Hi all,
I must be missing something obvious. I'm not clear on how SQL Express can provide a decent development experience. Consider:
1. I have a class library that includes an express database file, set to always copy to output folder.
2. I have code that attaches to the database in the output folder at runtime.
As a result of the above, the first execution after restarting SQL Server will work. Subsequent builds will fail because SQL Server has a lock on the database file in the output folder. Or one of the two files will be copied (DB and log) and therefore they will be out of sync and detected as corrupt when the code attempts to connect. Either way, I have to restart SQL Server and rebuild before the DB connectivity will work again.
I figured I might need to detach from the DB in my shutdown code, but I cannot execute sp_detach_db from my code because it cannot be done through a connection to the database (database is in use). Moreover, I'm not sure I want to because the user might execute multiple instances of the application.
What am I missing here? Do I need to put steps in my build script to stop and start the local SQL Server instance?
Thanks for any help,
Kent

Is there a development environment for Reporting Services (2005) that is integrated with source control?
You can use Visual Studio to develop reports and place them under source control. But as far as I can tell, you cannot implement security, scheduling, etc. through Visual Studio. For these you can use a second environment, e.g. SQL Server Management Studio - but is this environment integrated with TFS?
In other words, is there a single development environment, integrated with TFS, where you can develop all aspects of Reporting Services reports?

Hi,
I'm currently using the setup below for my RDA testing. Is there any problem with this setup?
connected connected
Client Apps (SQLCE 3.0) -----------------> Windows Server 2003 (Web server) ----------------> Windows XP (SQL2005)
previously was using windows XP to act as web server and have SQL server reside inside the same machine but having 10 connection limitation from windows xp where only 10 client can connect to the machine. The current setup moves the web server out to windows server 2003 and i believe it solves the 10 concurrent connection limitation but how about the SQL server? is it limited to 10 connection from windows server 2003 also? (Windows XP is my testing server, Windows Server 2003 contains important test data for the whole company) . I tried with concurrent RDA pull for 40 client concurrently with 1 pc having 10 client apps but obtain not really satisfying results. Pulling one table (20Mb) needs 1 to 2 mins through LAN networks but pulling concurrently with 40 clients takes up to 20 - 30 mins.
Any advice? Thank you and have a nice day.
Regards,
Ben

I noticed accidentally today on my PATH and discovered that I have several variables for different sql versions. I can understand this as I have upgraded from 2008, to 2012 then 2014. Here are the list of variables
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100ToolsBinn;
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110ToolsBinn;
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server120DTSBinn;
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server120DTSBinn;
[Code] ....
Can I delete all variables related to older versions safely without any issue.

If you have your Data, Logs, System and TempDB all in VMDK's and those VMDK's are formatted to 64K and then reside on Clustered Storage that is formatted as 4K, which is then running through a SAN controller that is reading and writing in 2MB chunks, is there value in formatting the SQL drives as 64K? Also, would it be better to format the Clustered Storage as 64K? Is this a situation in which formatting the SQL drives as 64K is becoming a moot point?

I am trying to set up log shipping in a clustered server environment. I am pretty confused about the location of the shared folder to be created to put backup created by  log shipping job. Which drive should I use either local or clustered shared drive to store the backups in primary server and  to copy the same in secondary Server?

I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.
I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.
1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.
2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.
3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.

We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.

I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop. When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges". I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7. How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?
I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11. I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.

I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1
MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2
IN DNS:
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.

Hi,
i installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit which contains Connectivity Components, Business Intelligence Development Studio, Management Studio Express, and a Software Development Kit, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services which contains Reporting Services.
What i get now is Visual Studio 2005 where i effectively can create reports. But where are the rest? I mean, how to use the Software Development Kit and the Connectivity Components?
I have also installed Management Studio express and Visuam Web Developer 2008; but i don't see any difference after having installing the toolkit.
Thanks

OK, it isnt the end of the world but i have been moving all SQL databases from one server to another in our development environment and think i have screwed up a bit.
In essence, the users in each database are different to the logins in the security tab. IE, there are users in DB1 that dont appear in the logins list. Is there anyway of getting the security information uptodate? I move the databases by detach|file copy|attach into the nice shiny new server. I am running into all sorts of errors when i try to create users in security as it says the user alrady exists ...
all thoughts welcomed, am steeling myself to start all over again!

wondering what software tools people in the industry use for development of SQL projects.
I use SQL Enterprise Manager to manage the server then a mixture of SQL Query Analyser and MS Access to develop queries for our ASP/WEB projects (using access as an instant graphical front-end to the data).
Used to use a third-party tool to develop the sql code but not anymore as it was just a pain to get done, was called RapidSQL.
look forward to people's replies on this one, any input much appreciated,

Hello,
Recently my partner in crime (so to speak) and I have been asked to develop procedures and/or methods for our software development group. Currently we're running SQL Server 8 with several Access apps and Crystal Reports. In a nutshell, I'm looking for resources.
We're supposed to develop a process (we're both DBA's) where our development team can formally submit new stored procedures, views, or whatever they've come up with to solve for buisiness requirements. It'll be our job to take thier scripts and execute them on the production database after ensuring someone has tested the logic and signed-off on it.
Unfortunately, I have been charged with developing this process (ie: development, sign-off, testing, etc..). Currently we have no procedures in place; until now my partner and I have been the primary deveopers (this is about to change). Are there any resources out there that could help me develop a formal process for our soon-comming developers?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi,I am trying to create a development database server (make use of an old machine), with which to learn about sql 2005 and oracle etc. I'm using VS 2005 Beta 2 on my development/workstation machine.My workstation and the prospective server are connected via a router and can 'see' each other.I have installed win 2003 server on two seperate partitions (multiple boot) and installed sql server 2005 on one partition and will install oracle 10g on the other. (I understand these two databases can run on the same machine/OS, but I just wanted to keep things tidy and I won't be using them at the same time, so ...).My question is how do I/should I configure win 2003 server / sql server 2005 on my server machine, in order to be able to connect from my workstation via vs 2005 beta 2 ?Any suggestions or resources on configuration appreciated.

we have a situation where modifications to the stored procs and views keep happening in the development databse environ while there is a live production database also up and running.
periodically we need to ensure that the development and the production are in synch where all changes made to dev are transferred to prod. however the entire prod database obviously cannot be overwritten as it contains production data. therefore what we need to do is to transfer all SPs and Views from the development to prodn. ( we do not prefer incremental transfers as there are many SPs and views and we can never really be sure that all changes have been transferred )
the obvious way is to script out all SPs and views in dev and run the scripts in prodn. but what we encountered was the enterprise manager does not script out the objects in heirarchical sequence - ie parent objects first and then the objects that refer the parent objects. this leads to errors when running the scripts as the objects required for the creation of a SP, say another SP run from within that SP , may not have been generated by then as the "contained" SP is lower in the alphabetical order in which SQL server scripted out the objects.
finally we had to look at each and every error and manually set the process right.
moreover in the way we did things the "sysdepends" table got all screwed up and therefore we can no longer depend on enterprise manager to show dependencies within the database.
is there any elegant way of going about this ? we also tried transfer manager in DTS but it also gave the same error. moreover can the sysdepends table be rebuilt from scratch ?

We're trying to work out why the same SQL Script takes much longer to run within the Enterprise environment compared to the Development?
What makes matters worse is the development version is on a standard desktop (P4 1.8 256MB RAM) compared to the Enterprise version which sits on a dual Xeon with 1Gig of RAM.
Is is related to the SQL product or am I missing something here? :confused:

We have been facing some delevelopment issues with SSIS. These are as follows:
We want to execute some tasks in a particular package depending on a condition. Example: If record count is more than 0 then go to next task else stop the package.
We tried to write a script, in which we evaluate the value of the variable. This variable is populated with the record count value.
We cannot find any particular function which can exit the package successfully. We can fail the Task, but that means the package is failed. wo dont want to fail the package.
In short we want to conditionally execute some tasks in a package. Something like an "If container" similar to "For container".
We have one main package from which we execute 5 other packages. We want to assign values for connection information and variables in this main package only. The other 5 packages should pick values from this main package.
We are scheduling our package from Windows Scheduled Tasks. When the package is run in this manner, it doesnt read values of variables and connections from configuration file. It uses the values that were provided during development which are embedded in the code.
Thanks

I am running SQL Server 2005 SP2 in Vista. I have Developer editions of everything. I am trying to get BI Development Studio and Analysis Services loaded.
I don't seem to have BI Development Studio loaded. When I go to Control Panel/SQL Server install it says it is already loaded, it needs to be modified. When I try to modify it, it isn't there.
Do I need to run this from the command line with SKUUPGRADE=1 ? Modify the registry?
Second question. Can I get Analysis Services projects loaded into my regular 2005 Visual Studio? How do I install Analysis Services into Visual Studio? Or is it always completely separate, just looks like Visual Studio but can't be accessed from there?
Thanks...Marv
