Installing Sample Adventure Database
Nov 7, 2006
I am having trouble installing the sample Adventure database. I went to the following location:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E719ECF7-9F46-4312-AF89-6AD8702E4E6E&displaylang=en
to download AdventureWorksDB.msi. Once I save that to my local machine I run the install and it completes with no errors. Unfortunately, I can't see any of the data in SQL Server Management Studio Express. I'm new to SQL Server Express so maybe its me, but I get the feeling that it was never added to the database. I'm still looking for SQLServerExpressSamplesOverview.htm to see if I am missing a step but I can't find it anywhere.
The install seems to have extracted database files but if I need to run some scripts by hand to create the database I don't know which order to run them in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are two instances: SQL2005 and SQL2005Express on two different units. While there is Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition also installed on the units have not attempted these component installs through either yet. Have spent the better part of two days, following all the directions having searched help locally, online, technet,and applied their advice respectively. While I've taken out the old instances, downloaded updated ones in both my SQL Server instances they do not show as installed under Programs->SQL Server (whichever instance)->Tutorials ...However they do show installed in Control Panel and they can be found via Explorer (AdWorks DBCI+AdWorks BICI and Express instance on the other unit. Have also download SP2 and installed it, but this has proved of no help. @ My wits' end, any help will be appreciated.

Hello Everyone,
I am very new to SQL and just completed an install of SQL 2005 Express. After install, I downloaded the Adventure Works database and attempted to attach through both the Object Browser (right-click 'Databases'--->'Attach') and by running the script that is located on the SQL download page where I got the Adventure Works db.
Here's the error that I get:
"Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 8, object ID 1, Index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes."
I have attempted to go through the help files, but unfortunately the above message is too cryptic for me and I have no idea what it's telling me.
Can someone help?
Thanks!!

I was studying the Adventure Works database because I read it contains good examples of best practices.
It has an ID column for each table that is auto-incrementing Primary Key. There is also a row guid which seems redundant since the ID PKs are identity columns that increment automatically and should be unique in a given table.
What is the purpose of the row guid being used in conjunction with the ID which should be unique in a given table?

Hi
Books online mention the existence of sample code for several custom tasks, including the one mentioned in the title. But, when I try to find this code in the location mentioned it is nowhere to be found.
I have run a search on the rest of my drive and come up empty.
Can anyone tell me where to find this?
Thanks

Hi
im a beginner in SQL. I installed SQL Server Express on my computer, but i didnt find any databases included. The institute where i go to learn SQL have plenty of databases, but students usually work on databases called AdventureWorks and GlobalToyz. I searched the web for these databases and found something but i still cant figure out what to do with it. So i was hoping if anybody could send me these databases with brief instructions on how to install it into SQL Server. Thanks in advance

This question is for SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, and SQL Server 2008.
I want to provide users a sample database with data and a database template which new databases created in an application will be based on. However, I don't want to use scripts to create database and other database objects and also don't want the data to be contained in other data store such as access database. I think about providing users with operating system files(mdf, ndf, log). My understanding is that database created thru attaching will follow the collation of the source. Is that a way to control the attaching so the database created thru attaching will follow the collation of the destination server?
If attaching is not a good way to handle my case, what are other possibilities?

Hello, I am very new to SQL Server. I have downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express from microsoft's website and installed it on Windows Vista. I have also downlaoded the sample databases like pubs, northwind from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=06616212-0356-46A0-8DA2-EEBC53A68034&displaylang=en and adventure works from the respective site.

I think thess errors are mostly due to windows vista's new security features at the user level. However, I using my home computer and the admin privileges and in this case I shouldn't have any problem running it unless there's anything to be done on vista to work this.
I'll appreciate if anyone helps me installing the sample files.
Thanks in advance.

Regarding the code/db from the REAL project that just got released, I have no problem attaching the "REAL Sample V6" database, but the "REAL Warehouse Sample V6" database requires ENTERPRISE edition, because the default copy uses Partitioning (i.e. the PT version, although the document stated that the multi-table (MT) version is the default). I only have the STANDARD edition of SQL 2005, is there a workaround?
Appreciate any help.

The sample application provided with Access Database Synchronizer fires a "A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information, see HRESULT." exception on my WinCE 4.2 device.
I debugged it with VS2005 to see what was going on and found that the problem resides in the line:
m_connDesktop.Pull("MSysObjects","SELECT Name FROM MSysObjects WHERE Type=1 and flags=0",accessSysConnectString,RDATrackOption.TrackingOff,"Err_MSysObjects");
It seems that connection m_connDesktop is ok but calling Pull method fails.
I've verified that SSEvAccessSync service is started when ActiveSync detects device connection and that firewall rules are correctly updated.
Also, i verified my System.mdw and i discovered that there is no "MSysObjects" table (only MSysGroupList, MSysGroupMembers, MSysUserList and MSysUserMemberships queries are there).
Do you think the problem is there?
How can i solve it without damaging System.mdw?
I cannot figure out what's the purpose of this line of code, can you help me?

Hi,
I'm working with the sample database called Adventure Works and I'm encountering data consistency issues :
If I sum the TotalDue for one particular territory, for one particular time window from the Sales. SalesOrderHeader table and if I try to compare the result to the LastYearSales and YTDSales from the Sales.SalesTerritory table, I don't get the same number, whatever I try. So did I miss something ?
How are the LastYearSales and YTDSales fields from Sales.SalesTerritory calculated ?
Thx,
Anissa

I downloaded the SR2 - major mistake Now I cannot get into the sample databases I have on my machine. I can attach to the Servers, but they have SR1 and now I guess if I would make changes from my SR2, then they will be screwed up.
My error when I try to log into my machine (adventure works) is:
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to LND620JORRIT.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=2&LinkId=20476

Is there any way to reverse SR2? Should I reinstall SQL 2005?
Help!

Hi all,
Can anyone give me a ready-made sample script to display a search reslut from a database?
My intention is to give a dynamic web page for the search in the BookStore website.
The result will show the following:-
First the picture of the book.
To the right of it, 'Title' field, below that, 'description' field
It should be created programatically as the contents are in the database.
I tried several ways, but could not succeed. I have the BookID, Title, BookPicture, and the Description fields
Thanking you in advance,
Tomy

Hey All,
I'm new to the whole DB thing so I wanted to start off easy and download SQL Express. That part worked fine so I tried to install the Adventure Works DB to get some practice using the SQL commands. The problem is every time I click on a table in Adventure Works and choose Open Table I get a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio box that pops up. The error says: Class Not Registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
(Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlTools.VSIntegration)
Help!! Any ideas out there how to get the Adventure Works DB working? Thx much.
