How To View Foreign Key Relationships In Management Studio?
May 15, 2008
I cannot find a good way to view existing Foreigh Key Relationships in SQL Server Management Studio Express. In the Object Explorer, if you click on a table to expand it, you can see a tree view of EVERYTHING about the table (Columns, Keys, Contraints, Triggers, Indexes, Statistics), but NOTHING about Foreign Key Relationships!!
The only way I have found is that you have to open the table in Design mode, then right click, and choose Relationships, and only then can you see what FK Relationships are defined.
You should be able to see the FK Rletaionships in the tree view of the Object Explorer window!

How do you view permissions granted to an id, such as ALTER TRACE permission, using Management Studio? I want to see if ALTER TRACE permission has been granted to an id, but am unable to find this information in the GUI.
Thanks, Dave

After install SQL Server 2005, then run it sampel for report. Using VS2005 to deploy the report to report server.
The report can be previewed in VS2005.
After deploying, open SQL Server Management Studio.
1. Add local user Administrator to database AdventureWorks
2. Pick up one sample report Company Sales from AdventureWorks(Home-->AdventureWorks-->Company Sales), then go to
DataSource-->AdventureWorks, the setting for this datasource as below:
Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=True
Select "Credentials stored securely on the report server" with following setting:
Login name: Administrator
Password: (right password here)
Checked for "Use as Windows credentials when connectiing to the data source"
3. Then right on ths report (Company Sales), from popup menu-->View Report
Then in browser, it ask for user name and password, input as:
User name: Administrator
Password: (right password here)
Get infomation as:
You are not authorized to view this page
The URL is: http://localhost/reportserver/?/AdventureWorks%20Sample%20Reports/Company%20Sales&rs:Command=Render
Then try a different setting, use different user account in Database, same error message.
What's wrong with it? How to solve this issue?

I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio. I have a view that I'd like to index. Obviously, that requires that the view be schema bound to the underlying table. I have found myriad explanations for how to programmatically create a schema bound view, but I've never created a view like that before, and since I'm more a mechanical engineer than a database manager, I'd like to be able to do it the 'easy' way, by just creating the view in Management Studio by going to the database, right clicking on 'Views', clicking on 'New View...' and then, hopefully, checking some box somewhere that schema binds the table to the view.

Hello,
In SQL Server Management Studio (2005), 'Open table' command or a SELECT query displays table rows in a grid (or text).Please tell how to view a single row at a time i.e. all only ONE row is displayed at a time (evenly arranged to cover the screen).
This feature (Single record view) is available in other database client like TOAD.
Thank You

I have a complex view in my sql 2005 database.
The view returns a column that could be null (as the result of a left outer join).
The coulmn that is returned is an integer.
Everything works fine if I run the view from SQL 2005 Management Studio.
My column value is always null if I use ADO.NET's SqlAdapter to return a DataTable.
Has anybody seen this behaviour before?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Paul.

As part of our security project, I've done the following when logged in as 'sa':
Created database roles 'dbrole1' within dbAccount
Created login and user 'user1' and added user to be a member of 'dbrole1'
Granted execute permissions on sp1 and sp2 to 'dbrole1'
However, I didn't see the above permissions listed in SQL Server Management Studio - Database - Security - Roles - Database Roles - 'dbrole1' properties - securables
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello,
i've written the following query:
SELECT dbo.KALENDER.KALENDER_ID, dbo.KALENDER.JAHR_BEZ, dbo.KALENDER.JAHR_WERT, dbo.KALENDER.HALBJAHR_WERT,
dbo.KALENDER.HALBJAHR_BEZ1, dbo.KALENDER.HALBJAHR_BEZ2, dbo.KALENDER.QUARTAL_WERT, dbo.KALENDER.QUARTAL_BEZ1,
dbo.KALENDER.QUARTAL_BEZ2, dbo.KALENDER.MONAT_BEZ, dbo.KALENDER.MONAT_WERT, dbo.KALENDER.TAGE_IM_MONAT,
dbo.TAG.KALENDERWOCHE, dbo.TAG.WOCHENTAG, dbo.TAG.TAG, s.STUNDE_ID, s.DATUM_ZEIT
FROM dbo.KALENDER INNER JOIN
dbo.TAG ON dbo.KALENDER.KALENDER_ID = dbo.TAG.KALENDER_ID INNER JOIN
dbo.STUNDE AS s ON dbo.TAG.TAG_ID = s.TAG_ID
WHERE (SELECT MONTH(s.datum_zeit)) = ((SELECT MONTH(GETDATE()))-2)and
(SELECT year(s.datum_zeit)) = (SELECT year(GETDATE()))
order by s.stunde_id
when copying that query to the view editor and executing it, it trys to fix it somehow to:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.KALENDER.KALENDER_ID, dbo.KALENDER.JAHR_BEZ, dbo.KALENDER.JAHR_WERT, dbo.KALENDER.HALBJAHR_WERT,
dbo.KALENDER.HALBJAHR_BEZ1, dbo.KALENDER.HALBJAHR_BEZ2, dbo.KALENDER.QUARTAL_WERT, dbo.KALENDER.QUARTAL_BEZ1,
dbo.KALENDER.QUARTAL_BEZ2, dbo.KALENDER.MONAT_BEZ, dbo.KALENDER.MONAT_WERT, dbo.KALENDER.TAGE_IM_MONAT,
dbo.TAG.KALENDERWOCHE, dbo.TAG.WOCHENTAG, dbo.TAG.TAG, s.STUNDE_ID, s.DATUM_ZEIT
FROM dbo.KALENDER INNER JOIN
dbo.TAG ON dbo.KALENDER.KALENDER_ID = dbo.TAG.KALENDER_ID INNER JOIN
dbo.STUNDE AS s ON dbo.TAG.TAG_ID = s.TAG_ID
WHERE ((SELECT MONTH(s.datum_zeit) AS Expr1
FROM ) =
(SELECT MONTH(GETDATE()) AS Expr1) - 2) AND
((SELECT YEAR(s.datum_zeit) AS Expr1
FROM ) =
(SELECT YEAR(GETDATE()) AS Expr1))
ORDER BY s.STUNDE_ID
... but this causes syntax-errors. I don't understand why this query works fine in the query editor but then gets automatically "destroyed" by the view editor. Do i have to use more statements to get the working query to run inside a view?
Thanks alot for reading.

I've always created database tables with one Primary Key that increments by one for each new record. I'm working on a database that was built by someone else now that has a lot of defined foreign key relationships (under Tables > specific table > Keys). How helpful is it to define these Keys? I assume it helps make the database more efficient but is it necessary if you're working with small databases?

I working a tutorial where I will learn a lot of new stuff, LINQ being one of them. As a part of this tutorial, there are four tables and foreign keys. My db skills were limited to simple tables and i've nevr done anything where I related tables before. I'm a bit confused about foreign keys and how to set them up. I think I'm setting up right, but I have a doubt. I have a couple of screen caps to show you what where my doubt comes from at:
http://www.noelakins.com/keys.htmlWhat is causing my confusion is that the connecting lines between the Albums and Events table diagrams in my setup seems to point back to the Photos table, and the Photos table seems to point to the Tags table. From the tutorial, the connecting lines seem to be pointing the other direction. Am I setting up the key right, or do I have them backwards? I'm setting out to learn a lot of stuff in this tutorial, so when I mess it up, i would like to know that it isn't because the foreign keys are wrong.EDIT:After doing some googling and some reading and watching, I'm a little less confused about how to set up foreign keys, at least how to do it in VWD. My problem now seems to be understanding the relationships. In the tutorial example, the Tags table has a FK on the PhotoID field, which matches the primary key (PhotoID) in the Photos table. Now, does this mean that the Tags table is the parent table and the Photos table the child? If this is true, then the other two tables must be child tables of the Photos table. At least that how I think this should work. The issue that I'm having with this is trying to understand how a cascade delete would work. Is the foreign key relationship a one way or both way relationship? For example, if I have made a foreign key on the AlbumID field of the Photos table, where the primary key table is Albums, PK is AlbumID and the foreign key table is Photos, then, if I do a cascade delete of a particular photo, does it delete the album too? That wouldn't make sense. Foreign keys and cascade deletes must be one way, right? Thanks

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. I've created several Foreign Key Relationships using Database Diagrams. Now I'm trying to edit the constraints on the relationships, but when I right click on the relationship, the only option available is "Delete Relationships from Database". But I am not able to edit the relationship. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I have 2 tables Publication and Advertisment_Codes. I want to update the publication_code in both tables where country_id=1 and publication_code='A'. However, it gives me an error because of foreign key relationship. I tried first updating in Advertisment_Codes and then in Publication table but it didn't work. I tried the other way round but also it didn't work.
How can I update the publication code?

Hey guys this is a SQL Server 2005, .net 2.0 question. I got 3 tables: Job, Times, Employee. The times table is related to Job and Employee by foreign keys. The Times table is pretty much a table where the employee's time logs are kept for a specific job. Since there was a M:M relationship between Job - Employee, I decided to create a Times table in between, and the primary key of this table should actually be the PK of Job and the PK Employee, but I couldn't figure out how to make a PK consisting of two fields.
Anyhow, my main question is: How to assign an Employee to a specific job in .net? In other words, what's the best way of retrieving the Job_id and Emp_id and sticking them in the Times table? I was doing a form with a drop down for Emp_id and Job_id, but I don't know how to do the inserts... I'm confused and would appreciate any help.THANKS!

How do I move data from one server and append to the same table structure on a second server and preserve the foreign key relationships. In other words TableB.TableA_ID references TableA.ID. The IDENTITY ID numbers themselves will change but they must continue to match up on the destination server the way they did on the source server.
I can do this using procedural programming but that is usually not the way to go.
(btw, this is a cleaned up version of a question I tacked on to another thread)

Guys,
I have 600 tables in my database, out of which 40 tables are look up value tables. I want generate truncate scripts which truncates all the tables in order of Parent child relationship excluding lookup tables. Is there any way to do this apart from figuring out Parent Child relationship and then writing the truncate statements for each of the table.
For example
EmployeeDetail table references Employee table
DepartmentDetail table references Department table
Department table references Employee table
My truncate script should be
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENTDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEEDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENT
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
IS there any automated way to figure out parent and child tables and generate truncate script for the same.
Thanks

Hi,
I received the error below upon saving when I was trying to create a foreign key in a table using relationships in "table designer" of sql server 2005 management studio. This process has been successful for other tables. What might be the problem?
Thanks
Code Snippet
- Unable to create relationship 'FK_SAMPLE_GRID'.
The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_SAMPLE_GRID". The conflict occurred in database "acquire", table "dbo.GRID", column 'GRIDNAME'.

I have taken on a contract to improve reporting for an old HR database that was developed using FoxPro (Visual FoxPro, I think) with the data stored in SQL Server 2000. There are no foreign keys in SQL Server 2000 so the relationships are maintained inside FoxPro.Is there a way of extracting the relationships from the FoxPro code and generate foreign keys in SQL Server, so that I can do proper design?

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 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 am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
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.

I have created two tables and receive a "columns in table ... do not match an existing primary key or UNIQUE constraint." error message.
Table1: GOSMapping
PK: AuthInd (bigint)
PK: GLCode (nchar(8))
-both columns were set as PK simultaneously
Table2: GOSTracking
PK: AdjID
FK: AuthInd (bigint)
FK: GLCode (nchar(8))
I open Table2 in the designer and right click, then select Relationships. I choose both of the columns that are the PK in Table1, and set the exact fields as the FK in Table2. I get the message when trying to save this relationship. All data types are congruent, and the primary key has been set as the combination of the two PK columns in Table1. Any ideas?

Hello again,
I'm going through my tables and rewriting them so that I can create relationship-based constraints and create foreign keys among my tables. I didn't have a problem with a few of the tables but I seem to have come across a slightly confusing hiccup.
Here's the query for my Classes table:
Code:
CREATE TABLE Classes
(
class_id
INT
IDENTITY
PRIMARY KEY
NOT NULL,
teacher_id
INT
NOT NULL,
class_title
VARCHAR(50)
NOT NULL,
class_grade
SMALLINT
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 6,
class_tardies
SMALLINT
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 0,
class_absences
SMALLINT
NOT NULL
DEFAULT 0,
CONSTRAINT Teacher_instructs_ClassFKIndex1 FOREIGN KEY (teacher_id)
REFERENCES Users (user_id)
)
This statement runs without problems and I Create the relationship with my Users table just fine, having renamed it to teacher_id. I have a 1:n relationship between users and tables AND an n:m relationship because a user can be a student or a teacher, the difference is one field, user_type, which denotes what type of user a person is. In any case, the relationship that's 1:n from users to classes is that of the teacher instructing the class. The problem exists when I run my query for the intermediary table between the class and the gradebook:
Code:
CREATE TABLE Classes_have_Grades
(
class_id
INT
PRIMARY KEY
NOT NULL,
teacher_id
INT
NOT NULL,
grade_id
INT
NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT Grades_for_ClassesFKIndex1 FOREIGN KEY (grade_id)
REFERENCES Grades (grade_id),
CONSTRAINT Classes_have_gradesFKIndex2 FOREIGN KEY (class_id, teacher_id)
REFERENCES Classes (class_id, teacher_id)
)
Query Analyzer spits out: Quote: Originally Posted by Query Analyzer There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table 'Classes' that match the referencing column list in the foreign key 'Classes_have_gradesFKIndex2'. Now, I know in SQL Server 2000 you can only have one primary key. Does that mean I can have a multi-columned Primary key (which is in fact what I would like) or does that mean that just one field can be a primary key and that a table can have only the one primary key?
In addition, what is a "candidate" key? Will making the other fields "Candidate" keys solve my problem?
Thank you for your assistance.
