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.
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.
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.
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.
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: Query Designer has encountered an error. Unspecified error.
I can still query the table from SQL Query Analyzer and the client front end. Has anyone seen this problem before?
When I am trying to read rows from any table from any database in the offsite production server with Pc Anywhere ( all other servers can be acess fine with pc anywhere
I get this error
An unexpected error happned during this operation {query} query designer error encountered a query error unexpected error
I checked the version of Enterprise manager Help About microsoft managment console 1.1version 4.0 bulid 1381 service pack 4
Here is an example of what I am exactly doing!! CREATE VIEW NamesAS SELECT ID, fName, lName FROM Table1 UNION ALL SELECT id, FirstName, LastName FROM TABLE2. On Executing this...I'm getting the following error.
The Query Designer does not support the UNION SQL construct:
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.
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.
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.
Hello everybody! I've already posted this question before but this error never been resolved. My DTS designer is totally screwed. When trying to create new local package getting error message "Could not create Component Categories Manager". I can't even use DTS to copy data in using DTS wizard. Somebody recommended to reinstall SQL Server which I did but it didn't solve my problem.
When using Enterprise Mgr on a workstation connected to a MSSQL Server, if I attempt to start a new DTS Package, I get the following msg: Title: DTS Designer Error Text : Could not create Component Categories Manager
I get the same msg when trying to edit an existing package. I tried to re-register Dtspkg.dll,Dtsui.dll, and dtsffile.dll. All were successful but Dtspkg.dll, which failed. Does anyone know what causes this, and what else I can try?
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:
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 :
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.
Hello! Yesterday my DTS designer was fine and today suddenly when I open the package in designer there is nothing there. I tried to create new package and it gave me an error when I was trying to save it "It is insufficient disk space to complete operation".
I am testing SQL Server 2000 and after having installed it on a machine with SQL 7 already on it everything went OK.
However, if I try to create a DTS package (or open and existing one) on either of my SQL Server instances I get a "DTS Designer Error". After which, the DTS package window opens but I can't see any of the tasks in the tool bar. I can't select any tasks from the Task option in the menu bar either.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have never seen this error before... When I click on DTS to either open an existing package or create a new one I get the following errors: Error in the DLL, DTS Design Error. When I try to create a new DTS it gives me the errors but still opens but I'm missing all of the connection objects except for MS data link and other connection. I had no problems designing and executing the packages from a development box. I'm not even refering to the typical scheduling problems that exist when SQL Agent is configured incorrectly!
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
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?
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?

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!
Just learning SQL Server, using MS Step by Step book. I think I should be able to right click in query designer pane and save-as query. I see this option in context menu. When I try to save file, I don't get file dialog to specify file name. I also don't get error. Any ideas?
