Hello All,
How are you guys doing? Hope all is well.
This is my problem...I accidentally deleted a bunch of my SQL scripts and would like to generate the INSERT statements from Management Studio. I am currently using SQLExpress. Is there a way I can accomprish my task? Kindly advise.
Thanks a bunch!

I need to write some insert statements, 1 per table, ~100 tables, all having the approximante form:
Select Into TableA Select * From TableB
Except that I need explicit statements:
Select Into TableA Col1, Col2, Col3, ... ColN Values ...
The reason is that I need to preserve the current identity values (it's a replication setup scenario). I can set Identity_Insert On, but then it wants the explicit column names and values.
Is there a wizard or utility that will generate the statements for me? With
100 tables in the db, I'm not looking forward to writing it all :-)
TIA,
Arthur
PS. Given that it's Easter weekend, if you have an answer could you please e me directly? Thanks!
Hey guys...
I just made a little proc to generate inserts for a given table. Sadly, it contains two cursors... :(
Can any of you guys come up with a way without cursors?
Here's the proc:
create proc generate_inserts @table varchar(20)
--Generate inserts for table @table
AS
declare @cols varchar(1000)
declare @col varchar(50)
set @cols=''
declare colcur
cursor for
select column_name
from information_schema.columns
where table_name=@table
open colcur
fetch next from colcur into @col
while @@fetch_status=0
begin
select @cols = @cols + ', ' + @col
fetch next from colcur into @col
end
close colcur
deallocate colcur
select @cols = substring(@cols, 3, datalength(@cols))
--select @cols
declare @sql varchar(4000)
declare @colname varchar(100),
@coltype varchar(30)
select @sql = 'select replace(''insert ' + @table + ' (' + @cols + ') '
select @sql = @sql + 'values ('''
declare ccur
cursor for
select column_name, data_type
from information_schema.columns
where table_name=@table
open ccur
fetch from ccur into @colname, @coltype
while @@fetch_status=0
begin
if @coltype in ('varchar', 'char', 'datetime')
select @sql=@sql + ''''''
select @sql=@sql + ' + coalesce(convert(varchar, ' + @colname + '), ''null'') + '
if @coltype in ('varchar', 'char', 'datetime')
select @sql=@sql + ''''''
select @sql = @sql + ''', '''
fetch from ccur into @colname, @coltype
end
close ccur
deallocate ccur
select @sql=substring(@sql, 1, datalength(@sql)-3)
select @sql=@sql + ')'', ''''''null'''''', ''null'') from ' + @table
exec (@sql)
I rememeber they used to have this option to generate data script for the table in SQL 2000, but I can not find it in SQL 2005.
I need to move one table from one database to another, but I need to generate SQL Insert Statements...
I was hoping this would be fixed in SP1, but it is still missing. Particularly in a development environment, I find it very useful to have scripts DROP first, then do a CREATE for tables. There is an option called Script Behavior that is supposed to allow this, according to the help text. There are supposed to be 3 options, DROP only, CREATE only and DROP + CREATE. This third option (the one I need) is missing. It does not show up on the drop down.
Sorry, I don't want to be rude, but before anyone suggests it, yes, I know I can create a DROP script first and then go back in and create a CREATE script and then run both. And I don't want to change my methodology, and I don't want to do twice the work. All I would like to know is if anyone knows how to get this 3rd option to appear, or if its a known bug, is there a hotfix or a plan to fix it soon.
Thanks,
Wayne
I'd I have a problem I'd like to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statementsthat will create my table and insert data into the table.I can use the scripting feature in Enterprise Manager to generate CREATETABLE scripts.Is there a script I can run that will generate INSERT statements so I caninclude sample data.Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database which will be generated via script. However there are some tables with default data that need to exist on the database.I was wondering if there could be a program that could generate inserts statments for the data in a table.I know about the import / export program that comes with SQL but it doesnt have an interface that lets you copy the insert script and values into an SQL file (or does it?)
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi everybody,
I found the following bug in Management Studio:
I add an article with sp_addarticle and a value of 0x00 for @schema_option or via the wizard with all article properties set to false.
Then I script the publication to a file. The result contains a sp_addarticle statement with @schema_option = 0x0000000000004071, which must be wrong.
To prove that I recreated the article with the generated script and checked the article properties. As I feared 4 of the properties ('Copy clustered index', 'Copy nonclustered index', 'Copy unique key constaints' and 'Convert data types') are set to true!
Is this a known bug ?

I have an SQL data source on my page and I select "Table". On the next screen I pick the fields I want to show. Then I click the "Advanced" button because I want to allow Inserts, updates and deletes. But its all greyed out abd I can't check this option. The UID in the connection string I am connecting under has the correct permissions in SQL server to do inserts, update and deletes too. Anyone know why it would be greyed out? The connectionstring property in the aspx code is dynamic but this shouldn't be the reason because I have used this before with success
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had to enable identity_insert on a bunch of tables and I have already done that. Now I need to modify my insert into select * from statements to include column list names along with identity columns for select as well as insert statements. The DDL is same but they are both different databases.There are almost 100 tables that it needs to be modified. Is there a way we can generate scripts for insert and select for each individual table along with their column lists including the identity column?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi,
anyone knows if there's an easy way to insert new GUIDs into uniqueidentifier cells when editing data in table on Management Studio Express? or Visual Studio 2005 Server Explorer? I can't find a shortcut, and copying from external tools is pain..
I suppose it's possible to build a VB macro in Visual Studio, would it work when editing table data?
Thanks in advance!
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

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 am trying to generate a script to drop 15 tables which have dependencies across the database. Is there a script that could generate the drop stataments based on the child table first , parent table last strategy?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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

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

In Microsoft.COM website do we have a comparision between Management Studio and Management Studio express in term of functions and features of the tool ? (Not SQL Server and SQL Server Express !)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI like some of the new features in sql2005 management studio, but WHY do you have to right-click -> Modify to view the stored procedure code?
It is SO annoying, previous versions was a simple and quick-double click.
To me this is a major blunder!
Anyone else agree with me?
I just installed the Developer Edition of SQL Server 2005 on my machine and updated it to all available patches through Microsoft Update. I cannot find the SQL Server Management Studio on my machine? How can I get this? Help mentioned where its exe is located but I cannot find it there either.

What are the differences between "SQL Server 2005 Management Studio" and "SQL Server Management Studio Express"?
I have an installation of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and can only find the Management Studio Express!?
How can I install the "not-Express-version" ?

We are use Vista X64 and SQL-Server 2005 X64 Developer Edition. We are able to connect to a sql2005 server x32 server using SQL 2005 management studio, 32-bit version. From the x64 box (vista x64 with sql x64), we are able to connect to the SQL 2005 32-bit server version using sqlcmd and telnet. But, we are having issues connecting to the 32-bit version of SQL 2005 using the x64 sql management studio GUI. I look all over the internet and the SQL BOL and I was not able to find any compatibility issues with the SQL Management Studio x64 been documented. I am thinking that the reason for the issue is because the SQL management studio is trying to connect using native x64 client drivers. If that is the case, is there another method of connecting to a x32 SQL server. I see that the only way to approach this issue is to install the 32-bit version of the SQL client tools on the x64 system. Thanks
P.S. all servers are using SQL SP2 ( no Cumulative Update 4)
How can I get sql Management Studio (2005) to use Sql Compact 3.5? It's been working fine with 3.1, but now when I upgrade my own code to use 3.5 and create a new DB then management studio says it can't open it as it's the newer version (3.5xxx and it wants 3.0xxxx)
Exact text is:
You are trying to access an older version of a SQL Server Compact Edition database. If this is a SQL Server CE 1.0 or 2.0 database, run upgrade.exe. If this is a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.0 or later database, run Compact / Repair. [ Db version = 3505053,Requested version = 3004180,File name = C:foo.sdf ] (SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider)
Installed SQL 2005 standard but the management tools did not install. The admin downloaded the SSMSE (Express version) which does not allow us to manage Analysis Services. We've tried un-installing the SSMSE and then tried to install from the Client Components on the installation disc, the Management console and it doesn't install. Any ideas on how to get the full version installed? Re-installing SQL Server 2005 is not an option as it's been configured and data is now residing in databases.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been working this for 2 days on my XP SP2 machine, AHHHHH !!
I tried running the SQL Server 2005 Tools install, and kept getting SQL configuration checker error with WMI. What finally got me around that was installing VS 2005. {without SQL Express} Ran the tools install, but not Management Studio, only the Configuration Tools on my menu. What the heck, tried running the full install, got the database engine, but still no Management Studio.
Tried uninstalling everything, everything is gone except the database engine.
Tried re-installing, still no luck.
Tried the command line to fix the shortcut to management studio as detailed in the setup help file:
setup.exe /qb REINSTALL=SQL_WorkBench REINSTALLMODE=S
NO LUCK. This is absolutely crazy, what year is this. It's as if something the setup program see's on my machine is blocking the install of management studio.
I just installed VS2005 Pro and I also installed SQL 2005 dev edition from CD 1. I installed everything that I could, but after it finished, SQL Management Studio doesn't show up. Why isn't it in the list of available sql server 2005 programs and how do I get it there? Thanks.
