I really dislike the Management Studio in SQL Server 2005. Having tabs
is nice but everything else about it really sucks. What don't you like
about it? Maybe someone at M$ will read this and actually make some
changes --- for the better (sigh, I wish but I won't hold my breath).
For all the $$$$$ Microsoft spends you think they could do better. It
seems every 'new and improved' version has a worse UI than the one
before. I can hardly stand to use Visio any more. Word has so many
damned annoying features that I spend most of time trying to figure out
how to turn them off rather than getting real work down.
Living in the shadow of the evil empire I run into M$ dweebs all the
time. One of the biggest problems M$ has is arrogance. They 'know
better' than the whole user community.
Microsoft get a clue. Trying listening once in a while.
...and it is because... when i drag and drop my script file into query window unlike query analyzer which selects the current database, new MSSMS selects the users 'default' database.
we maintain 1 script file for each sp/function and ddl/views groupe related stuff in 1 or more files
in query analyzer I just have to select DB where i want to deploy scripts and drag and drop the files from explorer and then then 1) press F5 (to run) 2) press CTL + F4 (to close window) 3) repeat till all scripts are deployed
and now in MSSMS
1) select db (this step is really painful especially when i have to deploy more than 1 script/file) 2) press F5 3) press CTL + F4 4) repeat
is there any settings that could change the behavior of SMS2K5 like old QA2K?
well what i cant do here is change default db to the tartget db before deploying and switch back after deploying (but not a true solution)
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 a database under management studio and i want it to be connected in visual studio but it failed the error msgs said that the database can't be connected coz the database with same name exits but that is not true
How do i get the database that i am using in visual studio into my SQL server management studio? i need to create some scripts to create stored procedures on a live server.
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 !)
I'm migrating a fu... dts to SSIS. That's fine. I've got a derived column task for stuff as cdbl(DTSSource("Col014") /100).
But how the source plain file have a lot of columns suddenly I find this:
Function Main()
Fecha=Right(DTSSource("Col014"),2) & "-" & Mid(DTSSource("Col014"),5,2) & "-" & left(DTSSource("Col014"),4) If IsDate(Fecha) then DTSDestination("FechaOp") =Fecha Else DTSDestination("FechaOp")=null End IF Main = DTSTransformStat_OK End Function
So that 'Derived Column' is useless at all for to encompass this rule unless to anyone be able to tell me how to implement that conditional snippet inside...
I'll be to use a Script Component Task only for that dammed column when the rest ones already defined.
dont know y, but i have prob. installing MS Management studio....After a hard drive failure I was forced to reinstall everything... :( The problem is that after installing vs2005 proffesional edition I installed the sql server 2005 trial edition and everything was fine during the installation.When I looked for the Management studio it wasnt there for me :( I uninstalled and reinstalled trying the full installation but results was the same, no Management studio!!!After uninstalling the SQL server trial edition I installed the Management studio express and it works. except that from some reason I cannot browse my XP user folder which has no password protection.. :( Any idea for installing the SQL trial edition including the Management studio ???Why can't I browse my XP folder with Management studio express ???Where can I download Management studio (non express version)?? regards
I am running management studio from my desktop but I think I need sp2 is there a sp2 download for management studio that isnt management studio express?
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.
i have a problem regarding sql management studio....
1. I can't create new server, i'd follow the tutorial in video. but it doesnt work. or may be i must install the IIS?
2. i create a new database named sample (sql management studio) and add some tables and sort of data. how can i deploy this database so that i can bind/connect to my program.
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.
I 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:
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.
I know my question looks very stupid but cant help. I got SQL Server 2005 Evaluation Copy along with Visual Studio 2005. I want to do some evaluation of Reporting Services. I am able to create reports from VS 2005 i.e. rdlc extension. and chaning the extension I can publish them to reporting server but I want to create reports with parameters which will be passed from UI form.
On looking some resources i can to know that I will need SQL Server Management Studio to generate RDL reports. Where can i get Management Studio? Do i need to download it or need to purchase it?
is there a way to deploy only the workstation tools? Can I create an msi or sms package to install only the tools I need for users to have? Can I lock down the interface so all options are greyed out other than workstation tools?
Does anybody know of some utility or code or script which I could use to rapidly change the server name in the connections of a fairly large number of DTS packages?
I'm convinced that this must be possible from code using the DTS libraries, but I just don't have time to sit down and figure it all out.
I have just started in Sql 6 months ago. I was an IT major in graduate school and am now in my late 30's (career change). It took me 4 years to finally get what I thought was my dream job. Well, I was promised training which I have yet to receive and bascially went from doing basic queries that I did in class in college to doing advance Sql - stored procs, etc. I completely hate it. I do not know if it is from the lack of training or if it just not for me. I am completely bored out of mind. I am also tired of struggling everyday to complete assignments. The first 2 assignments I received were way out of my league. I was told this by a project mgr who did a similiar assignment and they have years of sql experience and it took her 3 months with assistance to complete it. I have been with the company for almost 6 years. I am not sure if I should just complete my current assignments and ask if they can reassign me to a different IT department, look for a new job or just continue to struggle and pull my hair out. Please give me some feedback as to how you would handle this situation.
I have SQL server 2005 developer edition installed on my machine. I was expecting something like Enterprise manager to manage databases but nothing is installed by default. Ive found SQL server management studio express and installed it, but Ive also seen references to SQL Server Management Studio. Are there any differences between the two , or are they the same and are just described differently ?? Im a bit confused, Microsoft should make this clear.
Hey everyone, Would someone please tell me why the new SQL Server Managment Studio comes with hardly not frills? What happened to the SQL Enterprise Manager in SQL Server 2000? It had DTS, SQL Agent Job and step viewing, Cool Wizards.. All that great stuff. but with this new Sql Server Management Studio with 2005 all I can do is pretty much look at the data and write queries and create and modify tables. Am I missing something? I did download an external tool which was called an import/export wizard but it sucks compaired to the DTS in SQL 2000. I did notice when I open my Sql Server Management Studio "Express" that it is the Express version... Is there a difference? Thanks for any help.
i have SQL Server 2005 dev edition and i wanted to use SQL Server Management Studio so is it installed or i need to install the SQL Server Management Studio express edition ??? thx
I can open a single connection to the database engine successfully but if I try to open another connection ('New Query' or 'query with current connection') Management Studio just goes away without any errors.
I am utilizing a remote desktop connection to the server but if I open a connection from my desktop through Management Studio I can establish multiple connections (database engine, query, etc...) with no problems. There are no errors in the sql logs, event viewer or windows log.
Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have installed SQL Server Management Studio (for SQL2005) to a pc. When the user boots the pc, the following error is received:
fmaagent.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Process id =0x328 (808), Thread id=0x32c (812).
Click Ok to terminate the application. Click CANCEL to debug the application.
After clicking on OK, the pc continues on its merry way and boots up successfully.
Does anyone know what would cause this error? I have checked the Microsoft site but did not find this error listed among the documents.
