View 23 RepliesI was under the impression that Management Studio wouldn't list any databases that a user doesn't have access to. But if I create a new user and give them db_owner permissions to just one database, if they log into Management Studio, they are able to see all databases listed. They don't have access to do anything further, but they can still see the list which I thought was handled better in 2005.

However, the hyperlinks are less than helpful. I also get problems doing various maintance work from MS. I don't think its a database engine problem 'cause I can do all the work via TSQL DDL but the interface is so much easier to use (or should be). BTW it's running on XP Pro (firewall problem?).

When you use sql 2005 management studio to connect to a sql 2005 server, you can deny view on any database and one user will not be able to see any database that he/she does not own.
However, what about if this person uses sql 2005 management studio to connect to a sql 2000 server. Since sql 2005 management studio does not call the store procedure sp_MSdbuseraccess, it will display all the database in the server.
It does not seem like I can use "deny view on any database to username" on a sql 2000 server.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do in order to not show all the database when I use sql 2005 management studio to connect to a sql 2000 server box?
Thank you.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express, and Management Studio Express, while logged on as an Administrator of my XP Pro machine. When I switch to my limited user account, Management Studio Express seems not to be aware that SQL Server is even running on the machine (although Configuration Manager can see it and reports that it is running). I'm sure I've missed something simple, but I can't find the answer anywhere... how can I get access to my local SQL Server from my limited user account?

View 16 Replies View RelatedI have a client who would like to access his database via SQL Server Management Studio. I created a login for him. This login has access only to his database on the server (I set this up using the user mapping), the Securables has Connect to SQL checked (otherwise he won't see his database). When I test this login, he is able to see all the other databases on the server, though when he clicks on the ones he doesn't have access to, it will tell him that he can't access that database. He can access his database alright. My question is, can I hide all the other databases from him, and only display that only database he has access to? I have tried many different ways, I can't seem to be able to do so.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a windows 2003 server which has SQL 2005 Express with advanced services installed on it. Then a few weeks back the company purchased SQL server Standard Edition which comes with SQL Server Management Studio (which has more features than SQL Server Management Studio Express currently installed on the server where sql express is running)I have been trying to schedule a maintanance plan on the SQLExpress Instance database from the SQL Server Management Studio that came with the standard version of sql but i have not been able to have all SQL Server Management Studio functionality available when connected to the SQLExpress instance. So is there a way i can connect to the Express Instance from management studio(that comes with the standard edition of sql) and have all its functions available when working with a SQL express database. Or i must upgrade the express database?

I installed the managerment stuid on my machine and now none of my database connections seem to work any more. I keep getting the attached error. Before I installed the studio the system worked fine, I could connect to the database and everything was fine. Does the studio change any permission stuff? I cannot seem to get it to work again at all now, I added in aspnet as a login inside the studio and it still won't let me connect to the database. I cannot find *any* logs anywhere that might be helpful in what it is doing or see any way to debug the connection to find out what the problem is. When I look at the permissions inside of the studio it shows me that the connections should all be fine.
I checked and remote and local connections are setup, although it is only doing local connections anyway since this is a asp.net web server page.
Any idea what the problem is here? This is very frustrating and annoying :( Since I didn't change anything and now nothing I will do gets it to work. I even tried to uninstall the management tool and it still doesn't work.

I am attempting to use the SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition (Management Studio) to create/manage a Compact Edition 3.5 database. My problem is that I cannot even create/open the compact database in Management Studio. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. TIA
Problem Creating the Compact Database:
Open 2008 Management Studio
From menu choose File | Connect Object Explorer...
Choose SQL Server Compact Edition as the Server type.
Choose <New Database...> as the Database file.
Browse to folder where file will be created (C:MyDatabase#1.sdf was used in my example)
Leave all other field as default selections OR make changes, either way it does not work.
Click OK.
At this point the OK button just becomes disabled and nothing happens.
Problem Opening An Existing Compact Database:
Open 2008 Management Studio
From menu choose File | Connect Object Explorer...
Choose SQL Server Compact Edition as the Server type.
Choose <Browse for more...> as the Database file and locate a ".sdf" file that I created using VS2008.
Enter password, if any.
Click OK.
The following exception is displayed:

Hi,When I attempt to add the membership functionality to a database created within VWD Express, by using the aspnet_regsql.exe application (connecting to ./SQLEXPRESS using Windows authentication), the database I've created within VWD Express doesn't appear within the list of accessible databases. I have the same problem when attempting to access the same database within Management Studio Express.Does this mean that databases created from within VWD Express don't use the same storage mechanism or paradigm as those already available within Management Studio Express? Or perhaps I need to somehow register the database using Management Studio Express? As a side note, I'm not sure if the "File/Open File" menu option within Management Studio Express holds the answer to my problems, but rather bizarrely, it crashes Management Studio Express when I select it.Apologies for the rambling - in essence my question is "How can I make databases created within VWD Express appear within aspnet_regsql.exe and/or Management Studio Express?"Many thanks,Jon

Which tool can I use for structure editing of SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases? I'm installed SQL Server Compact 3.5. I have SQL Server Management Studio Express which was installed with SQL Server 2005 Express. Unfortunately this SSMS can create and open only 3.1 databases.
Hi all,
In my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)=>Object Explorer=>Databases, the "NORTHWND" database was screwed up and is deleted completely. But under the same Object Explorer =>Databases, there is a database "C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND.MDF". I need to use this "NORTHWND" database in the SqlConnection. How can I specify the "Initial Catalog" (or "database") in the New SqlConnection code statement (in the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming)?
Should it be like the following:
Dim sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnction("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND; Integrated Security=SSPI;") ? Or what is the right code statement for connecting to it?
Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

I have installed MS SQL Server 2014. When I try to attach the pubs database that I downloaded, I'm getting an error saying that its non-release version (539) is not supported by this version of SQL Server.
My question is: Is there a way that I can either get an updated version of the database from Microsoft, or update the one I have?
Hi
How do I install the sample databases Northwind and AdventureWorks?
I know there is a link on the Microsoft website, but does anyone know a step-by-step guide to actually get it on the database?
Thanks in advance!
I have installed SQL Express 2005 together with VS 2005. After a while I found out that the sample databases (Northwind and Pubs) were missing, so I installed them. According to the 'Readme', which comes with the installation I could choose between attaching the db to the Server or running a SQL script.
Neither works. I've read this link about remote connections (http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx). My development machine is just a local single computer and I still get this error message:
'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 under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.'
I' ve opened TCP/IP and Named Pipes and I get the same result when trying to connect from the Server Explorer in VS.
Thanks for your help.
Is it possible to run both Sql Server Management Studio: Express and full blown side by side?
I am developing with the full blown product but would like to test Management Studio Express on the same box.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Hello. I have a little problem .
I have SQL Server Express 2005 installed on my machine. As well as SQL Server Management Studio. For some practice, I also installed the AdventureWorks sample database and attached it to the Server. When I open SQL Server Management Studio it's right there, in the Object Explorer, sitting nicely along with the master database and so on.
Now, I have recently installed Visual C# Express 2008, in order to explore this exiting new thing called LINQ (Language Integrated Query) . To do so, I created a new Project (say, WPF or Console application), and once the project is up and running it would be nice to attach some data to it so we can query that data and learn about LINQ.
There is a problem, however. On the main menu, I click on Data-Add new data source, choose Database, click on New Connection and the Add Connection window comes up. As a data source, I specify Microsoft SQL Server Database file.
For a database file name, I navigate to MSSQL.1/Data and in that folder, there it is, the AdventureWorks file. Now, here is the rub. When I try to attach this file, I get a window telling me that I don't have permission to open this file! Contact the file owner or administrator! How about that?!
Can anyone help? It would be very much appreciated!
Thanks.
Hey, Everyone - I have downloaded two of the sample databases and get the following error when I attempt to open them:
Unable to open the physical file "c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAAssets_Maintenance_log.ldf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5120)
So what am I doing wrong? The install of these sample databases is simple and straight-forward.
Thansk!

Hello
I'm looking for sample database for data mining in SQL Server 2005. In my project I need to use all algorithms provided by SQL Server 2005. I know that we have "SQL Server 2005 Samples and Sample Databases" on microsoft.com site, but there are only AdventureWorks data sets. I need sth less popular, but similar.
I have found http://www.kdnuggets.com/datasets/index.html and others, but I don't see data sets good for multidimensional analysis.
The origin of data may be natural or artificial, it doesn't matter.
I don't have to generate my own data, because I had to discover new knowledge, that will be surprising to me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

There are two instances: SQL2005 and SQL2005Express on two different units. While there is Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition also installed on the units have not attempted these component installs through either yet. Have spent the better part of two days, following all the directions having searched help locally, online, technet,and applied their advice respectively. While I've taken out the old instances, downloaded updated ones in both my SQL Server instances they do not show as installed under Programs->SQL Server (whichever instance)->Tutorials ...However they do show installed in Control Panel and they can be found via Explorer (AdWorks DBCI+AdWorks BICI and Express instance on the other unit. Have also download SP2 and installed it, but this has proved of no help. @ My wits' end, any help will be appreciated.
I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere are five msi files listed for downloading.

What are the AdventureWorksDBCI.ms and AdventureWorksBICI.msi used for? I try to run it, but it return the message "Another version of this product is already installed" and ask me remove the old version of this product. Anybody know what I should remove?
Thanks,
I have downloaded and run all the .msi's for the sample databases. To install them I am suppose to use "SQL Server 2005 Setup, you need to click the Advanced button....". I don't seem to have a "SQL Server 2005 Setup" - did the docs revert back to SQL Server rather than SQL Express or what ???

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.
Thanks
