I just installed SQL Server 2005 Express. I would like to import tables from
another DB, and I read in the help files that I just need to (1) right-click on
a non-system database in Management Studio Express, and (2) select Import/Export
under the Tasks menu.
I tried this, but my Tasks menu only contains these options: Detach, Shrink,
Backup, Restore, Generate Scripts.
I googled for "sql server 2005 "no import" tasks", and it appears that a
couple of people have had this problem -- the only solution I read was to
install the "Workstation Components," but I already have, and still no luck.
I've created a new database and restored the database from a backup. I'm wanting to import raw data from an excel spreadsheet into the tables of the new database.
When I right click on the database, and hover over tasks the import/ export data menu options are not in the menu.The menu items ends at 'Generate Scripts'.
I'm connected on a local instance to a registered server.
Hi everyone In my SqlServer Management Studio Express, on start up it shows the server type option, but greyed.So that value is fixed to database engine. ( I'm trying to work on an SqlServer Compact Edition database through the SSMStudiothat's why I'm trying to get this to change.)Besides, after I connect i go to the Object Explorer, expand the server node, and go to Replication.When i expand replication, i get the "Local Subscription" option, but nothng for Publication.( I want to work on Merge Replication, that's why I desparately need Publication to work)Am i missing something here? I did not install SqlServer separately, I only have what comes bundled with the Visual Studio 2005 Setup.
I just tried installing SQL Server Management Studio Express Edition (SSMSEE?) and it wouldn't install because I had the "regular" SQL Server Management Studio already installed. Is that correct? The version I installed was a CTP. Is the final version going to have the same limitations?
=============================================== Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today. One crisis at a time.
i apperciate any help you guys can give me regarding this. I'm trying to connect to a sql ce db using sql server mgmt. studio express but from some reason i can't change the server type from the native engine (db engine) to sql ce (it's simply greyd out). I think I've installed all relevants to this (engine, sdk, etc...) but still nothing. The thing is, that on another machine I can do it and i can't figure out what more do I need for this to work.
how do I attach my user instance mdf and chagne scheme etc? for example my mdf is at c:sqldatamyapp.mdf
I tried attach and got

Can you please help how I can import data from excel or where can I download the SQL Server Management Studio?

I recently started using SQL Server Management Studio and I do not have the import/export option under all tasks. Is this because SSIS was not installed. Can I download and install just the DTS system?
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 using command prompt. I have gotten the latest download. My question is what is the commad prompt for the tag ADDLOCAL for SQL Server Management Studio Express. For SQL Server datatbase it is called SQL_Engine. In the same way what should I be using for "SQL Server Management Studio Express". I want to limit the choices that are installed on the user machines.

I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum. Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it. I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list. As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?
Hello, i'd like to know if it's possible to export to excel from SQL Server Management Studio Express (maybe with the toolkit?). Or if there is freeware that can export the dataset of a custom query (or a view) to an excel or CSV file?
Where do I install the necessary files to get the import/export wizard to show up in sql express management studio? I have tried installing the SP1 Toolkit, the advanced services etc but I cannot get it so that I can right click on a database and 'import data' or 'export data' Thanks!
Where is that neat little "Import/Export" DTS Wizard like I had in SQL Server 200 Developer?Or am I going to have to mess with the script generation features?
Hi all, Does any one can help me in finding SQL server express Import and Export wizard. I just installed sqlserver express, I went to tasks, right click and import/export is not there. How can I see it or loaded. Easy instruction please, I'm very new Thanks
I am using SQL Server v8.0 Enterprise Manager and I have been trying to export a database and a table. But no matter how many times I try I keep getting error messages. It just wont let me make a backup of anything. Ideally I would like to make a backup of a table from within a database. Then restore it but use a different file name so I can have a sandbox with which to test something out. When using the Export wizard the destination server is local using Windows authentication.
Here is the error I typically see:
Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Error Description: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Context: Error during initialization of the provider.
I only have one book which is Beginning SQL Server 2005 for Developers by Apress. It's great for most things but not this. Can anyone help me figure out how to do an export so I can create a sandbox environment with which to play and test with?
ok I have a database on a server that I would like to get on my hard drive, so I can work on it without being connected,etc. Does anyone know how to do this, and if so, could you please help me. Thks - cam
HiI am using SQL Server Management Studio Express to make my databases but I noticed if I make my database in Visual studios and go new Item and make a new database I see it in app_data folder and server express tab and if I make it in SQL Server Management Studio Express I only see it in the server explorer. So if I have to move my files to another computer how do I move my database easly with SQL Server Management Studio Express? Since when you make it with the visual studio the file gets stored with all the other files of your project so if you move it all to another computer you prob won't run into a problem. So how do I make it that so I can do everything in SQL Server Management Studio Express(since I like working in it) then export it into a file that I can then go into my app_data folder and add it is an exist item? Thanks
I'am a student and I'am using the Express version of the SQL sever Management Studio. The question that I have is: Can I create a SQL database on my local computer and use this database on a other computer? So I create a database on a laptop and want to export/import this on a desktop.
If this is possible can somebody sent met a tutorial ore something.
I'm noticed that in sql server 2005 express edition do not have import/export tools which is found in sql server 2000. Is it not supported only in this version or I have to upgrade my sql to other version to have this facility?

I want to export data in a table from one database to another database. And I would like it bo be clone of the source table, if it's possible. Is there any tools out there that can help me with this or do I have to write my own code?Is it possible to query the database to get all columns and datatypes for å requested table? If possible, can you give me an example?If I have to write a tool myself I guess I would do something like this: Export - Query the database for columns and datatype for the requested table. Dynamically generate a query to retrieve all rows from the table and save it to an xml file. Import - Turn off the Identity Increment, loop through the xml file and generate insert queries to insert a clone of each row, turn off the Identity Increment. Viola! If programming only could be that simple :-) Regards, Sigurd
HiI had to recover my computer but before I did that I grabbed a new version of my mdf file but I don't know how to actually import it into SQL Server Management Studio Express evertime I try to open the file up it just crashes. I rather not have to redue that whole database again. I am a noob so step by step instructions are needed. Thanks
Hi, I have Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express and do not see how I can enable the Import Data... feature which I have seen on the regular Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version.
Basically, if I right-click on a database, I'd like to use the Import Data... function which should be found in this menu under the Tasks... item. The Import Data... menu choice is visible just below the Generate Scripts... choice in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio but not in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Can anybody tell me if this feature is available in the express version. If not what are my options in order of least cost. Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is really beyond my ability to purchase.
Is there a better/faster/persistable way to generate sql objects with the ms sql server mgmt studio than to go thru that long wizard? I hate having to configure it each time.
