Late one night, I chanced upon a setting in SQL enterprise manager that causes you to be prompted every time you make a database change, to save the change to a script file. Love it! Use it all the time!
Only ... I can't find it any more. I want to enable this on some of my other dev servers, but ... I don't see the setting in the help files, or any of my interfaces.
When I get the prompt to save, there's a checkbox to "Prompt me every time". In All Tasks --> Generate script, I see nothing for the prompt, that's just a once-off generation.
It may be staring me in the face ... can someone help out please?
Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.
HI, I have a need where SQL Server should prompt me for a value when I run a Select statement.
Eg: If I need the name of an employee by id number, SQL server should prompt me to enter a value for the ID when I run the statement like:
SELECT name FROM employee WHERE id=[Enter ID]
In oracle, it is possible by using "&" operator but I am not sure how it can be done in SQL Server. Is there any other way to get the prompts if not by the above method.

I have a Microsoft SQL server that is setup, and inside it is a job. Inside the job is a bunch of lines of transact sql statements.
I would like to be able to start the job from the command prompt. Moreover, I do not want to have to create new files or modify anything that is existing. I just want to be able to have it set up so that a new user who installs the server and all of the job on their machine fresh, can just punch in the command to run the job.
I know I can copy the transact sql statements from the job, and run them through the command prompt, but that would be a poor way to do it, because if the statements in the job were ever modified, with this task being automated, the command prompt statements would be out of date.
So I just need a way to start the existing job from the command prompt. Is this possible? Maybe with OSQL?
Is there antway I can get the Query Analyser to prompt me with a message saying '234 records will be updated' and then give me the option to continue or not.

I'm a very basic user to VSS 2005 and I've created a simple report to display our customer master table. The problem is that we have 1000's of customers, but the report must scroll page by page.
I'm actually developing a report with some dates on it. I want that when I run this report, a prompt (a window) appears requesting a date (or at least it could be good if a list appears and I can select one of them). Do you have any idea about how can I do that?.

Hello friends, In my web application I have saved my connection string into web.config file. Now I have to send this web application to the client in the form of web set up. The issue is that on the client side, user credentials for the database will be different. So can we do some setings that the web application whenever will run should ask for the server name, username & Password. If this can be done then the application can be run anywhere considering all compatibilities. Please let me know how this can be done. Thanks & RegardsGirish Nehte
I cannot restore a backup file of the transaction log without getting the following message:
ODBC SQL State: 42000 The preceding restore operation did not specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step.
I have tried to do this in Enterprise manager and with the following script with the same results:
RESTORE Log TestDB FROM DISK='D:MSSQL7BACKUPMMTrans' WITH NORECOVERY
What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.

We have a development server that will only run SQL Server from a DOS command prompt. Each time I reboot the server the services don't autostart, and I am unable to start them manually using Service Manager. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? Thanks
I have a stored procedure that moves specific data from several tables from a database on one server to several others (using a bunch of openrowset queries). I don't have an app to call this procedure - it's usually runs from the query analyzer and the parameter values for the procedure are passed in from there.
The procedure currently skips over recipient tables that are already populated with the data that's being moved. I want the ability to either skip the table or delete the existing records from the recpient table data based on the user's response. Therefore, I somehow need to prompt the user to get a response when the data already exists in the existing table.
Is there any way to prompt the user from a stored procedure, or do I have to re-develop the procedure in DTS or write and application?
so last week i finally downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005, and along with that, i downloaded Studio Express (i had previoulsy been using MSDE with WinSQL by Synametrics)
anyhow, today i got an alert from google (you guys use those, right?) that there's a free copy of something called SQL Prompt available from Red Gate
i tried it, and i like it!!
