Using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 for the first time and have a question. After creating a query using the Design Query, can the same query be visually modified using the Design Query again?
Seems whenever the Design Query is used again with an open query, the tool opens empty ready for a new query instead of the open query.
Thanks
In the Visual Studio Query designer against a ce 3.1 sdf file, if I type in
SELECT DATEPART(yyyy, GETDATE()) AS Expr1
FROM CropYear
The designer updates it to
SELECT [DATEPART](yyyy, GETDATE()) AS Expr1
FROM CropYear
Which results in an error
SQL Execution Error.
Executed SQL Statement: SELECT [DATEPART](yyyy, GETDATE()) AS Expr1 FROM CropYear
Error Source: SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider
Error Message: There was an error parsing the query. [Token line number = 1, Token line offset = 19, Token in Error = (]
The original query works fine as long as I don't user the query designer to edit it.
The same problem occurs with DATEADD, DATEDIFF and DATENAME.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've got a SQL2008 database with 2008R2 Express loaded.
In VS2012 if I right click a table and select New Query, I get the Visual Designer.
In VS2013, same database, I get a blank page
I've tried a fresh install of 2012 and 2013 onto a fresh Win8.1, same thing. SQL2012 Express, same. If I use an LocalDB option, again no tools. I've tried Ultimate to see if it's something not in Pro.
Also the "code only" query doesn't connect me to the file properly, so even if I accept doing the query by hand, I have to paste a connection string every time.
I'm expecting it to do as per VS2012, and the VS2013 pages in [URL] My database is an attached file from an ASP.NET project App_Data folder.
...and Report Builder?
I have SQL Server 2005 Express and Reporting Services and Report Manager up and running...
Thanks
Hi,
This seems simple but can't find. Say in my report I have 3 fields(A,B and C).
In field C I want to give a calcultion based on fields A and B. Say field C value = A+B
How do you do this? In expressions I couldn't see existing report fields, it only shows dataset columns.

How do I install the report designer in Visual Studio 2008?
Edit: I mean, how do I install the SQLRS 2005 Report Designer in Visual Studio 2008?
Hi all
I have some performance issues when developing Integration Service Package ...
It is very very slow for example when I try to add new connection in
Connection Manages, it takes about 2 minutes just to open the property window.
On another pc in the same environment it works ok.
In the past I have doing a lot of SSIS Packages ... Is there any cache to empty ??
Thanks for any comments

Hi all!On a server computer, I have SQL server 2005 express edition installed, and am using that for my web server, but I want to develop the applications in Visual Web Developer on a remote machine on my LAN. This means I will have to connect VWD to the remote SQL server, to work with the databases.How do you connect VWD to a Remote SQL server?Thanks!
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm building a custom Data Processing Extension (DPE), and I was hoping test it inside Visual Studio report designer, instead of doing it on the server side in Reporting Services.
Note that I have gotten the RS configuration working.
Does anyone know how to set this up for VS?
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to design reports. Is there any way to use one single image as background for a whole report-page? I only managed to set seperate background images for page header, body and footer, so the only 2 possibilities to solve this problem would be to either
* divide the image into 3 parts so that they fit exactly to the page parts or
* not use any page header and footer.
Is there another possibility that I've missed?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Calad
I would like to break a large table into multiple pages when previewing in the designer. Any ideas?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHello,
another problem i couldn't figure out myself:
I have limited my application to one instance. So i call SetForegroundWindow() upon other in InitInstance() of the application when there is already an instance of the same application running.
This works fine most of the time. But sometimes it only shows the title bar(incl. OK-button) of the application with the caption 'ms_sqlce_se_notification'.
Then i have to manually activate it within the list of running programs.
Could it be a notification i don't handle? Or what could be the reason for such a behaviour?
I've already searched the web for it and found almost no resource for this issue. So it would be lovely if someone already solved this problem and could tell me the solution.
Kind regards,
Andre
I am trying to run queries against any of the user tables in my MS SQL 7.0 database. I get a message the Query Designer encountered a query error.
We have tried rebooting the SQL Server and I am still getting these messages. Also, the SQL error logs look fine - all database
maintenance are running successfully including the DBCCs which show no errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are to go
into production in a few days.
Does any one know of a way that a group of my developers can use this without giving them access to the rest of Enterprise manager?
Want to give them access to write queries and they are all Access developers so that I have to do as little training as possible then letting them have Query designer would keep them in their nice little world without hassing me to much.
Cheers for any help.
When i'm trying to open the table say return all rows in Enterprize manger it gives me an error saying
Query Designer encountered a query error
Unspecified Error.
I could not figure out what's goin on...
I appriciate if any one can help me out solving with this problem.
or what need to be done ?
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

In SQL 2000 the query designer could be opened and the query type changed to create an INSERT.
Is this feature still available in SQL 2005?
If so, how do I open the query designer and change query types?
Thanks
I use the Report Wizard to generate reports. Within the "Design the Query" screen, I try the query statement as :
exec mydb.dbo.rptSales @fortheyear
It shows me an error: Implicit conversion from data type sql_variant to smallint is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
The stored procedure of rptSales is
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.rptSales
@pyear smallint=null
AS
.......
The rptSales has been tested OK on SQL Server Management Studio.
Actually, I have other similiar stored procedures using smallint as a parameter, and I can use the Report Wizard to generate reports, except the above one.
How can I fix this?
Thanks a lot,
Joe.
Hello all
I've got SQL Server 7.0 SP1 installed (in a NT4 SP6 environment).
Recently, it came up with error whenever I try to open a table or a view (return all rows) inside the Enterprise Manager. The descriptive (NOT!) error message is like this:
"The query cannot be executed because some files are either missing or not registered", and on pressing "help",
the help files report
"Query Designer cannot locate your query files and cannot run your query"
I have tried re-booting the machine and upgrading mmc.exe to version 1.2 (from 1.1), but both in vain.
Can anyone shed some lights please?

Checked out BOL on this issue, but not enough info received to troubleshoot. Hoping someone out there has some input.
This issue is only happening on the server side not the client. Also, it suddenly appeared on three different machines.
Query Designer:
"An unexpected error happened during this operation" [Query} - Query Designer encountered a Query error: Unspecified error.
The how: In a database, go to tables and select a table known to have data right click on mouse and select Open Table, return all rows. This is when the error appears.
BOL states the the file may be corrupt or from a non-supported version of SQL Server EM. Nothing was installed on these servers and we're still on SP2. This error just all of a sudden appeared and spread to 3 different machines...
Another issue is the Return to Top function is disabled. This function provides the maximum number of rows to fetch.
Any assistance would be appreciated! Thanks.
When I try to Return All Records in a table, I receive the error "Query Designer encountered a query error: unspecified error." I can successfully view the design of the table just not the records themselves. This is happening in all of my tables in all dbases.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi,
My database has just recentrly been upgraded to SQL 2005 and i have noticed a change in the interface when writing a query in "Query Designer"
For one of our tables we have a 'Time' field. I know that time only doesnt exist yet and upon insertion a default date of 30/12/1899 is automatically inserted. Im happy with that!
My concern is with Query Designer. If i build a query using the criteria grid and for the time field i filer on >=13:00:00 (example), the SQL that it creates looks like this:
(TIME >= CONVERT(DATETIME, '2007-10-17 13:00:00', 102))
As you can see is automatically inserts the current date instead of 30/12/1899. This obviously causes my sql to not work unless i manually change the date in the SQL to 1899-12-30
In SQL 2000 i did not have to do this, it would automatically write the SQL as :
(TIME >= CONVERT(DATETIME, '1899-12-30 13:00:00', 102))
Even if i enter 30/12/1899 13:00:00 into the criteria grid it still converts to current date.
Is there a setting somewhere for the Query Designer so that it defaults to 30/12/1899??

Hello,
I am trying to use following IIF Statement in Query designer but getting error message saying "Incorrect syntax
near '>')
Can anyone please help, perhaps correct the statement for me?
IIF([Expected Receipt Date] > now(), 1, 0) AS EXPR1
Thank you in advance

I am having a problem with what appears to be a very trivial task in the graphical query designer. When I enter =@County into the filter column quotes are automatically added like = '@County' which the makes the query string inaccurate (looking for a literal County = "@County" in the where clause).
I am using Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 with the newest service packs and retreiving data from an Oracle 10G database.
If I remove the quotes and run the query through the generic query designer in my SQL reporting project I get the error "ORA-00936: missing expression".
It is as if the SQL Reporting Project does not understand the meaning of the @ symbol for entering a parameter.
What am I missing here? I thought @ specified that this would be a parameter and you then just needed to supply the values for the parameter.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Iam trying to see the rows using e/m i.e by right clicking tables and choosing return all rows option but it gives me an error but if i chose the other options(i.e. design table etc) it works well.only that return rows option in all the databases doesn't work.
Again iam able to retrieve rows from query analyzer.
The error which it gives is:
An unexpected error happened during the operation.
[Query]-Query Designer encountered a Query error:Unspecified error.
Please if anyone knows the solution mail it to l_muthu@hotmail.com
Thanks.
I have lost the ability to query any table in my database using the Query Designer/table viewer in Enterprise Manager.
I get the following error:

I can still query the table from SQL Query Analyzer and the client front end.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
I have recently started working on Sql server management studio. I have been using MS access in the past. To link results of 2 queries in MS access I would open the query wizard and it would show me the list of saved queries and then I could join them as regular tables. Im trying to look for this option in management studio. When I open query designer in management studio I am only given the option to add existing tables, how can I add existing queries?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to use the Query Designer without having to close it out to test the query.
I seem to recall using Query Designer in 2000 as a stand-alone app outside of Enterprise Manager.
How can I use Query Designer AND have the results show up in the same window?
How is the Query Designer toolbar enabled?
Clicking Query, Dsign Query in Editor opens a Query designer in a model window that does not use the query tool bar. Oening a New Query pane does not enable it.
The nly way I have found to activate the query tool bar is to:
1. Right click a table then click open table.
2. Stop retreving data. (if it is a large table)
Now the Query Designer toolbar is enabled.
What is the correct way to enable the Query Designer toolbar?

I have created some tables and relationships between them by using MS SQL Server Management Studio Express.
The relationships are between a field named OId, which is not a part of the primary key but it is typed as an unique key. And a field named ParentTableOId.
When I open the two tables that have this relationship in the "Design Query in Editor" is not the relationship there.
Anybody who knows why?

Hi,
This is really a Visual Studio 2005 Report Designer problem but I didn't see a good place to post this question in the Visual Studion forum.
On some reports when looking at the Data tab the Generic Query Designer is disabled. Anybody know why? The report runs. Other reports have it enabled.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 sp1.
Thanks,
Darren

Here is my situation. I have a fairly large query that I am working on in visual studio (data tab). I am at the point where the program will NOT let me type (add SQL code) anymore. I found that clicking the Generic Query Designer (turning the query builder on) button switches the format then allows me to add more code. Well, this solves the running out of room issue, BUT now it does something to my code and it will not process it. Prior to clicking the Generic Query Designer button, everything worked w/ no errors. I did not change anything, but simply pressed the Generic Query Designer button (turning the query builder on) and now it dose not work now. Just for kicks, I have pasted my working origional code into SSMS, added code and it executed just fine in SSMS. But then I pasted back into visual studio and it gave me the same errors?
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a maximum for lines of code? Why does the Generic Query Designer (having query builder on) change my code? All comments are welcome!
