Relationships between tables disappear without explanation in the
database diagram using SQL Server 2005.
Many thanks for any thoughts/questions on the topic!
I'm using Sql Server 2012 Enterprise and have a database with over 400 tables. I am looking at one diagram which contains about 20 (or so) tables and their relationships. When I right-click on a relationship line I only see information about which tables are connected on that line but not on which fields. Can I get that information from the Diagram or can I only get that from the sys tables?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a database with several tables. I want to create a database diagram to show the relationshipbetween the tables. Below are the steps from the SQL Server 2005 documentation on how to create a database diagram. The problem is that when I right click on the Database Diagrams folder I am only given two options. They are:"Working with SQL Server diagrams" and "Refresh"There is no menu choice to create a new database diagram. Can anyone tell me what the problem here is?
To create a new database diagramIn Object Explorer, right-click the Database Diagrams folder or any diagram in that folder.
Choose New Database Diagram on the shortcut menu.
The Add Table dialog box appears.
Select the required tables in the Tables list and click Add.
The tables are displayed graphically in the new database diagram.
Hi,
I have created a database using VB Express 2005 express edition and I have created number of tables and SP's etc.
I am trying to use the database diagram tool but I get an error stating that the database doesn't have a valid dbo. I say yes to the prompt about making myself a valid dbo but I then get a message stating that I do not have permissions to imprersonate the dbo.
How do I overocome this issue?
Thanks

Hello
I have created the following tables in SQL 2005.
English(engcode,engword)
Esperanto(espcode,espword)
french(frcode,frword)
eng-esp(engcode,espcode)
esp-fr(espcode[/u],frcode[/u])
The underline code are primary keys.
and i need to create a relationship between them. The problem is that the icon "Relationship" is disable.. I have searched a lot how enable this function but in vain.. Any1 have the solution???
i get the following message
Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects.
I am the db owner but still wouldnt let me install and create diagrams.
help!
cheers
hello world,
some importat web sites don't use db cardinality but moved it to application block, what do you think?
how to move sql diagram from one sql server 2005 to another?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, when I try to access a database diagram on our new 2005 SQL Server, I get the following error msg:
"Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner"
It then goes on to instruct me to either use Properties > Files or ALTER AUTHORIZATION to change the database owner.
Well, I've done that - and it clearly shows that there is an owner of the database, but even if I log in as that owner, the error msg continues to come up everytime I try to access Diagrams.
I found a post to run the following stored procedure which will set the sql server compatability level:
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel database_name, 90
After running that in the query window of Management Stduio, I get the following msg below on the Messages tab:
"DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator."
I then try to create a new diagram again, and I get the same initial error (at the top of this post).
What do I need to do in order to create a DB diagram?
I have a good size database (113 tables & views, each with an average of ~15 columns). I'd like to use SQL Server 2005 to create a basic table-layout diagram with fields for the DB, and then move that diagram to Visio or similar (even a bitmap) for additional annotations and updates. What I've seen so far with the tool that comes with SQL Server is that it's about good enough to do the initial generation and save me the work of having to type out the ~1600+ fields plus the relationships, but would be clumsy to use after that.
Unfortunately, so far I haven't seen a way to do any kind of export. It doesn't even want to let me print it (though it will, oddly, layout page-breaks for me). I'm currently using SSMS Standard edition (not express, but not pro either), so if that's the problem we do have a pro liscense for only one of the users here- I might be able to get him to do the export for me.
Hi, guys. i tried to create a diagram for a database in SQL Server 2005.
After creating the diagram, there were no relationships indicated among the data. Why did this happen?
I've tried to create the diagrams on 2000 version with same database, it did list out all the relationships but why not 2005?

Hello,
I've seen threads concerning this problem. I have followed the prescribed steps to fix the problem. I've set the db owner to sa, I've set compatibility to 2005. Still I can't get the diagram to function.
Can anyone out there help me?

[sql7] DTS and disappearing indexes
I have noticed that if I use the Microsoft ODBC driver for SQL Server when I
transfer data from one database to another my indexes disappear. If I pick
other odbc source and then fill in the data source my indexs do not go away.
Anyone else see this behavior? I don`t think it should be working this way.
Thanks,
Dave
I am experiencing a situation where I issue a lengthy SQL command to MS SQL Server 7.0 through MTS and it "disappears" - no errors or recordsets are returned. The command is "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE LASTNAME LIKE 'SMITH%'". When I issue this command from SQL Query Analyzer it takes 27 seconds to return 87 rows. When I issue this exact same command through MTS it does not return at all.
I've used the SQL Profiler to analyze the requests. It shows the commands from MTS starting but they never stop (or at least the profiler never reports them as stopping). The same commands coming from Query Analyzer are reported as starting and stopping without fail.
Here's a twist: I can issue less demanding commands (ie, one that doesn't take so long to process) through MTS and they come back fine. For example, when a user logs into my application, I use an SQL statement to verify the user name and password and status the user as logged in. This is routed through MTS and it comes back fine in less than a second. Same application, same PC, same MTS and SQL server, same SQL database. The only difference is that the CUSTOMERS table has over 800,000 records and the USERS table has only 5 records.
PLEASE HELP!
HELP!!!
I have three servers replicating. One is a publisher and two subscribers. If I put data in the publisher, some of it will disappear after replicating. When data is entered in one of the subscribers, the same thing happens.
Anyone have any ideas??? I am doing a merge replication and all servers are running SQL Server 2000.

Ok, I'm new here and I REALLY need some help here.
In my organisation, we have a Server with MSSQL 7 running with some databases. Some of the databases are published for replication.
Now, since Monday, we've been losing databases that are in use! :confused:
The files are disappearing and being marked as suspect in SQL. The physical file has been deleted from the machine even when SQL is running and on some databases are replicating. In one instance, we were making permission changes on a user and it just said that the file is no longer there. And when we checked, the msdb system database had disappeared as well. So now the server is showing up as having no databases. We were able to recover some of them through backups and a handy recovery tool. But now we are helpless as to WHY this is happening. We suspect Virus but we have Norton CorporateEdition running and Liveupdate updating every day.
I've searched the web for any one that had the same problem, but nothing came up. Only some stuff saying that space was an issue, but not on a drive with 21GB remaining and the biggest database is 3GB...
Any help, insight or resolution will be greatly appreciated.
I am running an Access 2000 MDB against a SQL 7 back end, using ODBC linkedtables over a LAN and a WAN. The system has been operational for years withrelatively few problems.Recently, WAN users have been reporting several hundred records disappearingat a time. The records are all sequential, and they're in a table thatcontains about 60,000 records. This all started last week at about the sametime (not sure if before or after) that the WAN went down for a couple ofhours for an unknown reason. Since then, every once in a while, a WAN userwill report that several hundred records in a block are just "missing."Then, an hour or two later, they reappear.Any ideas as to what's going on or what can be done to rectify this?Thanks!Neil

I've been working on this database for some time now. It's an Access 2003 database with a SQL backend. Everything was going well until one of the users noticed her data was disappearing after she send an email. The database has a memo field that gets pasted in the body of an email when it is created. Sometimes, when the user sends an email and goes back into the record, the memo field is blank. I know the field has data in it at the time of the email because it will give you an error if the field is null and you won't be able to send it. And, it goes into a history table with everything the user does with each record. I've checked this history table and it shows that all records in question, an email was sent. I have no idea why the data would disappear in this field. It does not happen all the time. I've performed the same steps and I can't duplicate the problem. There's no code associated with the memo field that deletes it after sending the email. Can anyone think of anything that would cause this?
The problem i am facing here is disappearing data in sql server 2000. I
not sure what is the problem, but it is getting worse and worse. Anyone
can point me to a right direction whether this is a security
vulnerability which i need to download the patch, or is it my computer
is infected with virus., or is it a bug in sql server?
I remember having read somewhere about this problem also, but not sure
in which website already. Anyone, please help!!! Because we are going
to deploy to production server soon, and this is a problem that need to
be solve ASAP..
Thanks in advance...
I am supporting a system that needs to allow users to have access to Temp DB. I set these users up using the GUI, but whenever the server is restarted, these users are wiped out. Is there anyway to keep these users when the server is rebooted?
Thanks for any help.
A user created stored procedure is dropped from system tables where no known drop procedure command is executed.
From ISQL the procedure runs properly after creation but, at sometime during execution the procudure dropped from the system tables.
Any help would be appreciated.
Environment:
SQL Server 6.5 sp4, windows NT 4 sp3, db-library, visual C++
Hello together,
strange things going on:
1. The table statistic shows for example 67 rows in a table, select count(*) only returns 63 rows.
2. Table statistic shows 50 rows, select count(*) returns 55 rows.
In both cases if you do an insert the newly inserted row sometimes can be retrieved by a select statement sometimes not. Row statistics sometimes is updated correctly, sometimes not.
Integrity check for these databases says everything is fine. DBCC CHECKDB, DBREINDEX, UPDATESTATISTICS, ... does not help or says everything is fine.
Already opened a case at HP's Microsoft support and they involved Microsoft itself but all are a little bit clueless at the moment.
As this is our main DB cluster and several databases are affected we had to stop most of our applications since last Thursday and now we are getting a little bit in trouble so any hint is very welcome.
Thanks in advance
PS: Restore is not an option - as all tools say everything is fine all of our backups from the last months include the error. Don't ask why nobody recognized the lost data earlier, seems they were stored but not required for some time.
I am using a hosted MSSQL 2000 database that powers the backend of mywebsite. Website visitors interact with it via ASP pages I havedeveloped. I also have an internal FileMaker 7 database thatperiodically synchs with it via Filemaker's ODBC functionality.Several times now, I have come in one day to discover that my ASP pagesdon't work. When I look into it, one of my MSSQL tables will be missinga few fields. There is nothing in any of my code that sends an ALTERTABLE command or any other command that affects table structure. Thesedeletions of fields is totally random.The most recent example was with a table called FreeTeacherSubs. I justdiscovered today that three fields went missing:HowDidYouHearAboutYES TEXTFollowUpCallOrEmail TEXTHowMaterialsFit TEXTSuffice to say I am baffled! Has anyone ever experienced fieldsdisappearing from their tables?Kevin
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,We have a SQL server db backend for our ERP system. I have written aCrystal Report to extract data from one particular table calleditemspecbomw (c.30000 records) which contains amongst other thingsBill of Materials costings. When I run the report I know that somerows are missing as when I look at values through the ERP systemitself, the values are different.What I have found is that when I run the equivalent ERP system report,the Crystal Report I have written shows extra rows. SQL Query Analyserbehaves exactly the same as the report I have written even when usinga "select * from". I have tested opening up a bigger tables (c. 700000records) which appears without a problem. If anyone knows why thismystery is happening, I woould be grateful for your help.Many thanks,Tony.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two tables that have a column called "subscriberid". I imported rows into the main table, and it's sister table.
There are 90,000 rows in the main table and 94,021 in the other table.
It appears that roughly 4,000 rows have disappeared in the main table, but not in the other table, and I don't understand why?
I'm new to SQL Server 2005 Express and I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks,

Has anyone seen precedence constraints disappear in a package after closing and opening again? In this case, it's not package-wide. Only constraints inside one Foreach Loop container disappeared. Any idea what causes this to happen?
p.s: Yes, I did Save All. Most of these contraints were saved in the package for more than a week anyway.
