Development Tool For First Time Developer?
Jun 13, 2007
I am about to start developing a web app using MS SQL Server and was wondering whether there is any tool that I can use to test queries towards a remote server?
Something like a command line or an easy way I can write queries and run them straight away through the server and check results? It is my first time developing in SQL so I need something that allows me to play around with queries in the server and check results to quickly get a hang os MS SQL Server syntax, stored procedures and such.
Best Regards

Need Recommendation on Tool for SQL Server Development
I have inherited a SQL Server 7 database (actually a SQL Server 6.5 database running on SQL 7 in compatibility mode) with 1000s of objects with triggers and stored procedures with zero documentation; i need to make major changes to this database; are there any tools available that will allow me to quickly search through the database objects and code (like stored procedures, etc) for keywords and other useful criteria? Do you recommend any SQL Server specific tools that will help me learn this database in the shortest amount of time?
Thank you!

Is VB.net the most logical choice of a RAD tool to use with MS SQL Server? Is VB.net strictly for web apps or can you use it to create projects that run as executables off the server?

Hello all. I'm giving serious thought on changing gears withing the IT world. For several years I have been a software developer who has been fortunate enough to have been involved in the needed databases. From just sketching out tables for the DBA to doing the database from the ground up and maintaining it during production. Along the way I've known that I didn't do as quality of a job as a knowledgeable DBA would do but given the situations I made do just fine.
I am considering switching gears to the database side only, coding as secondary. Since I am basically familier with most aspects of SQL Server in a general way, I am looking to take that knowledge and become a "Professional". What I am looking for is a few books to help out. Maybe a "Become a DBA for Software Developers" or something. I know that mining these and other forums are very valuble but I'd like some other training materials as well.
Have I been clear enough on what I am looking for? I don't quite feel like I have.
Basically, what would you recommend for a good software developer who is looking on switching to becoming a good database person?
I'd like to stay in SQL Server for now, since that is what they use here and it would give me an opportunity to practice.
Also, do you see value in the studying process for certifications in this area?

I can't tell if the SQL Developer install upgraded the service, but left the SqlExpress version information, or if I'm still really only using SqlExpress.
Also, my intended target is SQL Enterprise, so if I am using SQL Express am I asking for trouble when I go to move the database over? Are the database formats compatible?
I've poked around trying to search for this answer for a while and haven't turned anything up. Maybe I'm searching on the wrong terms...
Thanks,
Geoff

There are conflicting postings everywhere about this. I built a small site using VWD and SQL Server Express, but need to convert to Sql Server 2005 Developer because the DB will exceed 4Gb. Tried to install and could not connect or use from VWD. Tried to uninstall, got into large mess with the byzantine uninstall process, and have now started with a clean machine.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer first, then installed VWD Express 2008 without installing SQL Server Express. VWD won't let me connect to an existing database, won't let me add a new database and doesn't even show the Database Tools option under the Tools menu.
Is there someone with specific knowledge that can provide any enlightenment? Would be much appreciated.

Can someone here confirm or deny that Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition doesn't work with SQL Server Developer Edition 2005?
I
was about to order SQL Server Developer Edition 2005 on Amazon, to use
with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, when I read a user comment that
the two are incompatible with each other. Does anyone know for sure if
that is true?
What I'm wanting to do is develop an ASP.NET web
application on a web host using a SQL Server database. I use VS2003 and SQL
Server Enterprise 2000 at work, but I'd like to learn the 2005 editions
for this side project. I don't own any of the developer tools/IDEs
personally, so I'm trying to find the most affordable way to do this
for my home business.
Thanks for any advice,
Keith

Hi, all -
I'm trying to register a developer's 2000 pc from my 2005 pc.
i'm not sure this is even something possible from Dev Edition to Dev Edition- I can register a 2000 server just fine.
I can ping him. Both our systems have remote access 'on'. His server is (local), i've tried connecting to it by just entering his machine name and by using just the ip address. The error I get is "timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Am I just not registering this properly? I entered just the ip address in the 'server' box. I am connecting as sa with the pw he gave me. When i connect to my server, I use the ip addressinstance. However, I am not sure what to use for the instance when all I see when I look at his machine is (local).
I haven't needed to do this before.
Suggestions?

Hi 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.

Hi all,
I have created a report in SSRS 2005 which is being viewed by users from different Time Zones.
I have a dataset which has a field of type datetime (UTC). Now I would like to display this Date according to the User Time Zone.
For example if the date is August 07, 2007 10:00 AM UTC,
then I would like to display it as August 07, 2007 03:30 PM IST if the user Time Zone is IST.
Similarly for other Time Zones it should display the time accordingly.
Is this possible in SSRS 2005?
Any pointers will be usefull...
Thanks in advance
sudheer racha.

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

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
