HI
When you right click open table to return all rows, click on the "Show/Hide Grid pane" icon . When you click on any row the first column called "Column" a dropdown shows all the filed names of that particular table.
This feature used to work fine untill recently wherein when I click on the column, I don't get to see all the filed names but now it just shows TableName.* i.e. all columns.
This is the case when I try to create a view in enterprise manager also. When you add a table to create a view, I cannot see all the filed names . I'm not sure what to do , to get the field names to appear? Is it some kind of setting in enterprise manager.
All the info would be appreciated.

After opening the Results Pane (though a query or open table); I frequently get the below message.
Is there any way to change the settings so the results pane will stay active for a long length of time?
Message
SQL Server Enterprise Manager
_______________________
Some time ago, you retrieved data from the database with the query or view whose name is XXXX. The returned rows appear in the Results Pane and the database continues to retain the result set in its local memory; which consumes valuable server resources. Because you have not recently used the Results pane, it will be AUTOMATICALLY CLEARED IN ONE MINUTE. The will empty the results pane, discard unsaved changes, and free resources on the database server. Then if you want to REESTABLISH the result set, you can rerun the query or view.
DO YOU WANT TO PROLONG YOUR WORK WITH THE RESULTS PANE AND CONTINUE TO CONSUME RESOURCES ON THE DATABASE SERVER?
I want this to default to Yes, without this message comming up and if I don't click yes fast enough, my results are gone. I kinow the work arounds, but how can I default this to Yes or so this message stops displaying.
I have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom
How do I export an sql table from a server db using SQL Enterprise Manager? I have tried using Microsoft Web Data Administrator but it can't connect to the db. The db that is live has all the data, but I don't have a copy locally (I accidently deleted it)...which is why i need to export it to an sql file. Can someone please help me as I have exhausted my own knowledge. Cheers
I can't work out how to easily copy a table through sql enterprise manager including all data structure and the data ... I tried exporting one table then importing it into another but it wont transfer any of the actual data. I don't feel like retyping all 6000 records and I need somehow duplicate this table ... any ideas ???????
After having installed my software at customer's I found out that it's impossible to open tables from Enteprise Manager (Query Designer error). I'm not sure it's because of my soft, but my clients are quite annoyed. I have had this situation on my own server , and the only thing I could do was to reinstall the server. Any other ideas? And what is the origin for this error?
When do right click on the table in SQL EM and select Open Table | Return all rows, get Error: An unexpected error happened during this operation. [Query]- Query Designer encountered a query error: unspecified error.
It's happening on all tables, all databases, all protocols, all servers, on 2(!) of 3 installations of SQL EM. I can successfully run Select in Query Analyser against the same servers/dababases.
Today is the first day it started. I cannot recall anything particular I've done on Friday that can cause this.
I have just installed SQL Server 7 on a server. Everything was installed fine without any errors. The only problem occurs when I use Enterprise Manager, I right click on a table in the Northwinds database to open table and return all rows. The form pops up and no rows appear. Nothing in the table form works. I can view the records from Query Analyzer, and can also view them through Enterprise Manager when using a workstation client. This problem only occurs at the server. Any thoughts.
I recently installed SQL 2000, runing on a Win2000 Server. If I try to use Enterprise Manager to open a table using the return rows command, I get the following error
"An unpected error happened during this operation"
Greetings: We have a database with approximately 15-20 tables. Last week, using Enterprise Manager, we were able to open any of these tables and return all rows. Yesterday, when we tried to do this, we got the following message:
An Unexpected Error happened during this operation. [Query] - Query Designer encountered a Query Error: Unspecified Error
Can anyone tell me what might be causing this and how to fix it? Barring that, can anyone suggest some general steps I might take to possibly eliminate this problem without knowing the cause? Last, can you point me to a good resource for investigating problems of this kind, such as a knowledge base (other than Microsoft's TechNet)?
I have a new installation of SQL Server 2000 Dev Edition on a Win2K3 Standard Edition Server that I used for development. I just set this machine up in th last week and installed all Win2K3 patches and then installed SQL2K and SP3a. I have a single named instance. I just noticed today that I cannot view table data or use the Query part of EM. When I right click a table and select Open Table->Return All Rows it gives me an error dialog "An unexpected error happened during this operation". While the EM is diplaying this dialog the EM screen looks like Internet Explorer and says "Action Canceled - You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied." I believe that this is a EM issue as I cannot view table content on other remote server. ANy ideas? Might this be an IE security patch disallowing some connectivity ?--Frank--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com
For some reason whenever I look at the SQL statement of a particular table, the table name displays twice.For example,SELECT * FROM State StateEven when I execute this statement, it still returns the correct results. It does this for all tables in this particular database. I also check another database and thoses display the table names in the SQL statements correctly. Does anyone know why the table name would display twice in a table inside of a particular database?
Hi Sqlserver experts,I use the SQL Server enterprise manager of MSSQL 2000 regularly.I'm often annoyed by the automatic blanking of the table views.If this happens then mostly with the hint :"The Results pane have been cleared to conserve server resources.To re-establish the result set, run query again."Is there any possibility to switch that blanking off ?Best regards,Daniel Wetzler
On one of our machines, all of the SQL Server 2000components except for the main Server component (SQL Servercore) itself were installed (Management tools, etc) a while agoand everything was running fine. Now I go and add/install theServer component and then Service Pack 3a.It seems that Service Manager won't start up (I get an hourglass cursor)and now I find that Enterprise Manager won't run as well. No errormessages appeared and I don't think I saw anything unusual inthe log file.However, I can use Enterprise Manager on a differentmachine and connect to the database (so the databaseitself seems to be running).Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and how tofix it? I like to see if I can repair this without havingto do a reinstall.Thanks.PF
IF someone can assist me. Everytime I load up enterprise manager the service manager turns off. And the enterprise manager can't connect to the local database. But everytime i turn it back on and try to connect again it shuts it off and around and around we go. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
1)I created a linked server to a oracle database, works fine. Now I am writing queries, using "Query Desgner", when I do a "Add table" linked server tables do not appear. Is this a limitation. I can get around the problem by creating a view.
2) When I use "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" for linked server, some times connection seems to get lost. On one occassion, the next day it was fine, it re-established itself.
I installed SQL Server MSDE 2000 but I can't find how to start it. Does this package include an Enterprise Manager or not? I thought that maybe it was a standard XP Pro feature. I had no problem finding it in W2000 Pro.
Has anyone encountered this error: When you are in Enterprise manager and you select a database then the tables tab and then you select a table and go to open table- select all rows, I get an error--An unexpected error happened during this operation-Query Designer encountered a query error! Please let me know if you have seen this. Also, when I access this from one networked computer I get the same error, then when I access it from another I do not!! The servers are interacting with Pivotal. The one that works does not!!
Hi all, I have SQL 7.0 desktop addition installed on my local win NT workstation.

I can see that the server is running and i am able to connect through QA.
I am fairly new sql dba in a company and I am sure Enterprise Manager is installed on PC's and it shouldn't. Is there a way of finding out other then visiting each workstation. Thanks in advance..
I am considering upsizing my Access 2000 DB to a SQL 7 server. I was told that having SQL 7 Enterprise Manager is highly prefferd but not essential as I can maintain the upsized DB with Access 2000. The only way that I have been able to find JUST enterprise manager seems to be with purchasing the whole SQL 7 program for $1300! Microsoft cannot be that cruel, that you have to buy the whole program just for Enterprise Manager!
My questions are:
Can I download just MS SQL 7 Enterprise Manager anywhere for a reasonable fee or free?
and
if not, can I continue to use Access 2000 to maintain the SQL 7 upsized DB?
I have access to a SQL 7 server via my ISP Hosting account. I know Enterprise manager comes with the server software, but how can I get a copy of JUST Enterprise Manager?
Is it possible to administer both 6.5 and 7.0 databases from the same SQL Enterprise Manager? I have read that you cannot do this because the 7.0 "plug-in" to the MMC wont work with 6.5 databases.
We had database corruption and cannot access the Enterprise Manager. DBCC returned errors 9000 to 9999 which I can't get any suggestions on how to handle from BOL. Any ideas!!!!! Thanks.
Hi, I would like to know if we can present users to access details database information about the databases on a server through Enterprise Manager. If you create a SQL login and do NOT give it access to any database, if someone logons on your server with enterprise manager, even though he does not have access to any database, he will still see the list of all database on your servers plus tons of sensitive information like database owner. Is is possible to limit enterprise manager to only view information about database that the user has access to?
How can I force users of Ent Manager 6.5 to enter a name/password when connecting to a server that has been registered? I dont want to use the sa name and password so that anyone could use my workstation to access our servers.
Does anyone know how to turn off or disable the auto discovery for Enterprise Manager. Apparently our Network group is complaining that Enterprise Manager is generating noise on the network, it is not signifcant in volume but they complain it impacts there ability to detect hacking attempts on our network because it causes some false positives. I generally keep Enterprise Manager running because I will always have some manual job running from it and we have so many servers it takes awhile for them to all load when I first fire it up.
I have SQL server 2000 client machine on my XP desktop which worked fine until yesterday. Yesterday, I tried to set up client access (a tool from IBM to access AS400) unsuccesfully. Since ever, Each time I try to open a table in enterprise manager, I get the following error message "The query cannot be executed because some files are either missing or not registered. Run setup again to make sure the required files are registered". While when I issue a query in analyzer it works fine.
I did that several times without success. Even, I removed the whole SQL 2000 setup, rebooted my machine, ran set up again for client tools which gave the same result. Also, I re-setup MDAC2.6 SP2 but no way.
Which files are corrupted ?and I don't understand after doing all that, setup goes smoothly without indicating any errors, but still when you open a table in enterprise manager, it gives the same error.
