How Can I Change The Default Save-As/Save Directory
Jun 26, 2007
I am new to sql sever management studio express, but a long time query analyzer user. This is a very basic question.
I want to change the default directory in sql server management studio express so that when I go to save a query, it is already pointed to the correct one. Where do I change that?
is there a way to change SSMS 2012 default query save location?
Scenario:
1. Open SSMS 2. Create new query 3. Click Save
I see "DocumentsSQL Server Management Studio" folder, but I want to change it to be "d:". How do I do this? I tried:
1. [URL]- in folder "DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioSettingsSQL Server Management Studio" there is a file NewSettings.vssettings, setting it to "d:" or "d:" didn't work.
2. Changing HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server100ToolsShell VisualStudioProjectsLocation didn't work too. There is no "Shell" under "110Tools"
Did I do something wrong, or is there another way?
Hello:I didn't find any documentation that notes save point names are casesensitive, but I guess they are...Stored Proc to reproduce:/* START CODE SNIPPET */If Exists (Select * From sysobjects Where Type = 'P' and Name ='TestSaveTran')Drop Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranGoCreate Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranAsBeginDeclare@tranCount int--Transaction HandlingSelect @tranCount = @@TRANCOUNTIf (@tranCount=0)Begin Tran localtranElseSave Tran localtranBegin Try--Simulate Error While ProcessingRAISERROR('Something bad happened', 16, 1)/*If this proc started transaction then commit it,otherwise return and let caller handle transaction*/IF (@tranCount=0)Commit Tran localtranEnd TryBegin Catch--Rollback to save pointRollback Tran LOCALTRAN --<< NOTE case change--Log Error--Reraise ErrorEnd CatchEndGo--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/*Should receive the following message:Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN. No transaction or savepoint of that namewas found.*//* END CODE SNIPPET */What is really strange, if there is a transaction open, then no erroris thrown. So if you execute as so:/* START CODE SNIPPET */Begin Tran--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/* END CODE SNIPPET */There is no "Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN...." message.Questions:1-)Can someone confirm save point names are case sensitve and this isnot happening because of a server setting?2-)Is this a logic error that I am not seeing in the example codeabove?We have changed our code to store the save point name in a variable,which will hopefully mitigate this "problem".Thx.

Prior to SP2, when you clicked the save button it would take you to the root of Report Server. With SP2 (in old-style Report Manager mode, not Sharepoint integrated mode) it takes you to the /Models directory by default when you click save. Is there a way around this?
If I launch Report Builder via the following URL, it does fix the problem. But it doesn't let me pick table/matrix/chart. I would like to override the default save location AND be able to let the user pick table/matrix/chart:
I previously installed SQL 7.0 on my machine. The name of the Server was DEVELOPMENT. Unfortunately I needed to change the computer name, but I had already created my databases and did not want to lose the information. It was suggested that I should simply change the computer name and reinstall SQl. I changed the name to DEVSERVER. This seemed to work fine. Now I am having a problem when I try to create a DTS package on the renamed server from another SQL server . I receive the following error. "A connection could not be established to Development. Specified SQLserver not found" The server which is now called Devserver, is registered on the server I am creating the package from, however the message seems to imply that the server I'm connecting to is still called Developement and cannot be found. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi, I've installed SQL 2005 and failed to change the default datalocation during installation. Now I want to change it. Can I do thiswithout having to uninstall and reinstall? And furthermore, is there asystem stored procedure I can use to move existing data and log files(master, msdb, AdventureWorks, etc.)? I seem to remember doing justthis with SQL 2000 some time back.Thanks,Eric
Installation Directory = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server
Default data directory = D:
Default log directory = D:
I found out that the data is stored in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdata and backup is done in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLackup
However, Microsoft says we should never put the ..ackup and ..data folders in the same partition.
My question is: How can I move the path of the backup directory?

I have this query:select company, dept, sum(pers) as pers1, sum(amount) as amount1,sum(amount)/sum(pers) as wage from xxtestsumgroup by company, dept instead of calling sum(amount) and sum(pers) again in "sum(amount)/sum(pers) as wage",I would like to save them in some kinda variable in the select clause so it will save process time.Sorry but im new to sql programming. So thx for your understanding.

In Enterprise Manager when I bring up Trigger Properties there is an active button titled "Save as Template". But when I switch to an existing trigger the button is disabled. Oddly, the Help file for the dialog box doesn't even mention this button.
Anybody know what this does, how it works, or why it would be usefull? Any references to The Holy Book would be helpfull.
i have a vb6 app that writes data to a msde 7 db (in batches). when i run the process inhouse the entire process takes just under 2.30 min to save a batch of 50 records. when i run the process onsite it takes about 20 to 25 min to save the exact same batch. both enviroments are are set up the same (both have win xp and the db it is writing to is local). i took a copy of my onsite db and ran it inhouse and the results were fine (2.30 min to save the batch of 50). this process was running fine onsite up until a month and a half ago. does any one know what might of caused this issue (virus, xp updates, db curput). or does any one have any ideas on what i can try to resolve this issue.

Ok, I have a solution for this but it involves a cursor that will take 3 days to run. Please someone save me from this!
I have a table that contains 700,000 records. I need to update a field in this table with an integer to denote what set of records it belongs to. Basically if you look at the table in order by RowID, everytime the AcctNUM changes, the fieldtofill is incremented. The AcctNum will show up multiple times throughout the table.
Its a long story but the file we started with was junk and this is the only way out.
Right now I have a cursor that is steping through, checking the value of the last row, if its the same it gets that same number, if its different it increments the number and updates the row.
Its been running over two hours and only 25,000 or so records have been updated.
Is the cursor my only way out? I wish I had optimized the cursor a bit, as it making it a fast_forward or something. Would that shave off more time than the two and half hours already invested?
i'm trying to save data to an XML file from an OLE DB source using the "For XML" clause in the SQL command. Do I need to use a flat file connection manager or a raw file connection manager? And what destination do I use?
I haven't downloaded nor installed it but I have some general questions about it:
*Can I store a SQL Server-Express Database as a file, so that the Users can easily back it up or use my application as a portable one *Do the enduser have to install SQL Server Express or any addition when I'm programming for the .Net Framework 3.5?
The XML generated by notifications object needs to be saved. Where do I save it - in the database. That will still be stored in a table - with drawbacks!
Using ASP.net I need to be able to save and retrieve PDF Files in SQL.I believe the best way to do this is through a BLOB datatype.I have been searching (without luck) for a tutorial/code sample explaining how to do this.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Chrisp.s. I know many prefer to store the files on the server and simply store pointers to the files in SQL, but I need to store the actual files in SQL.
