What's the most straight forward to determine what the last cumulative update was that was applied to SSMS?
I know that CU8 is out for SQL Server 2012, I just need to confirm which (if any) update was last applied to SSMS I'm currently looking at.
Probably not the best "Subject Title", but no the less what I am looking for is a way to get the order in which I should insert data into a table that has 10 FK's to it. I have queries that list them out for me, but they do that in what seems to be alphabetical order. You can also right click the table in question and select view dependencies, but that as well appears to be in alphabetical order.
Is there any query or any way to see what order I should be inserting and/or deleting data into FK tables?
I tried to install "Cumulative update package 2 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2"
Everything went well except for the "SQL Server Database Services" update.
It errored out as it was trying to "Finalize" the update.
Kicker to this whole thing is the database file "temp_MS_AgentSigningCertificate_database.mdf" does not even exist.
I could not see any references to it in the master database.
I checked the registry and I can find a couple of search references for it.
It apparently may have been a database that existed in the server at one time.
I am not sure if I should remove the registry references to the database.
Below is a part of the install summary where it has failed:

Hi
I have found two cumulative update packages available for sql 2005 sp2 - build 3161 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935356) and build 3175 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936305).
The fixes are supposed to be cumulative and include all fixes since the last service pack, but the list of hotfixes in each package is different.
Does build 3175 contain the fixes in build 3161? What about fixes mentioned in build 3175 that have version lowere than 3161 - are they included in build 3161?

How can I update a table to have a running cumulative sum?
For Example:
Update Table1 Set Cumulative_Sum = Row_Sum + Previous_Row_Sum
It should look something like this:
Row_Sum Cumulative_Sum
1 1
2 3
3 6
4 10
Re: KB 940287 - Will it be in a Cumulative Update?
SYMPTOMS:
You use Service Broker in SQL Server 2005. When the initiating service starts a conversation and then sends a message, the initiating service ends the conversation immediately. However, after the target service processes the message, the endpoint on the target server is not deleted when the target service ends the conversation. Therefore, when the initiating service starts a new conversation, the number of the conversation endpoints on the target server keeps increasing.
Additionally, you receive the following error message on the initiator server:
An error occurred while receiving data: '64(The specified network name is no longer available.)'
This message could not be delivered because the conversation endpoint has already been closed.
It has several workarounds. I've not been affected by this yet, but KB says it has a hotfix that has been out since July 2007, so it is curious that it has not been put into a Cumulative Update yet, at least as far as documentation in Knowledge Base is concerned. Does anyone know any more about this?

Cumulative Update 5 Build 9.00.3215 KB - Problem
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943656/
We contacted Microsoft and installed the update, but when I do a SELECT @@Version I still get build 3042.
I'm not sure if they sent us the wrong file or if the update didn't apply correctly. Under Add/Remove Programs SQL Native Client shows the new build 3215 though.
Microsoft sent us
335091_intl_i386_zip.exe
This extracted to..

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
I have several users with an unusual problem with SSMS 2012. When they attempt to connect to a database using the "Connect to Server" dialog box, the connection just hangs. Sometimes after about 15 minutes the connection will be successful. Other attempts simply spin seemingly endlessly. Users experiencing this issue are both running SSMS 2012 on Win 7 Pro (64 bit). The following troubleshooting steps have been tried:
1. When the user runs SSMS "As Administrator" the connections work almost instantly. (Elevating privileges is not a solution in our environment)
2. Wireshark shows that SSMS does not try to hit the SQL server when the user experiencing this issue clicks connect.
3. I can create a new virgin user on the PC and that login experiences the same problem.
4. A complete rip and re-install of SSMS 2012 does not resolve the issue.
I am trying to calculate cumulative GPA which is currently it is being done via a cursor and i was looking to change it to set based if possible.
The cumulative GPA is basically the average marks of all courses in a term and all previous terms. Where I am having an issue is if the course was taken in a previous term and the mark was lower, then the lower mark in not factored in to the GPA. If a course was taken in a previous term and the mark was higher then the marks for the current term are not factored into the GPA.
In the example below, math is taken in all three terms and the current term's mark is included in the GPA but not the previous terms because current terms mark is higher. Two classes (bio,chem) are taken in third term but not included due to marks being higher in second term.
CREATE TABLE [gpa]([term] int,
[course] varchar(10),
[mark] float);
INSERT INTO [gpa]
VALUES (1,'math',3),
(1,'eng',4),

I have a SQL Server at version Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.5343.0 (X64)
May 4 2015 19:11:32
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation
Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.3 <X64> (Build 9600: ) (Hypervisor).
I need to apply a cumulative update, either CU2 or CU3 for a third party tool used for monitoring to work. When I try to apply CU2 or any subsequent CU there is nothing that need the update so I cannot advance the version to 11.00.5548.
I have a question about Service Packs and Cumulative Updates for SQL 2008 R2.
Do you need to apply them in the order that they are released? Or can you just apply the latest Service Pack and Cumulative Update?
I installed Red Gate's SQL Search and now I have an Add-ins icon. From the Icon I got to a list of tools, one of which is SSC's script library.
When I downloaded it I got this file "SQLScripts.utmcsr&__utmv=-&__utmk=243779397" which did not trigger an installer when clicking on it. How do I add it.
Granted there are nearly 8000 tables in this particular database. What needs to be installed or what bit needs to be flipped so the user can see all tables in SSMS?

Every time I start SSMS 2012 the "Connect to Server" box is partially obscured in that the top of it, the move bar can't be accessed. I've manually moved it using "alt+space" then "M" followed by the arrow keys, but it's getting annoying. Is there any way to change the initial start position of this box?

Already have SQL2008 installed, and it works fine and great.Needed to install 2012 alongside for another project. Heard it should be fine to have both running. So I did. Installed MDS, DQS, SSIS, Service, and management tools. Launching SSMS 2012, when I click the "new query" button... I get the following error: library not registered. (exception from hresult:0x8002801D (type_e_libnotregistered))
If I connect object explorer to a server (local or otherwise), and try to script an object, it gives me the same error and then crashes the application. If I launch SSMS 2008, I can use it to connect to 2012 instance. So I know the instance and service are running correctly. It looks like its just the SSMS that is a problem.
I liked the default appearance of SSMS in 2005 and 2008. 2012 is lousy by default.
My quesion is whether it can be made to approximate the way it behaved in 2008.
What I liked: Registered Servers and Object Explorer resided on nested vertical tabs on the left-hand side of the screen. Queries stacked up on the right-hand side of the screen.
I managed to get the Registered Servers and Object explorer to display with nested vertical tabs (tabs at the top, rather than the bottom - that's ok). But if there aren't any other vertical tabbed displays, then the tab on top fills the screen. There's no point to that. Both Registered Servers and Object explorer are narrow trees. The rest of the screen is white nothingness.
If a query is opened, it then fills the screen - empty. If I want that in a vertical tab I have to manually make it one (right click, choose New Vertical Tab Group).
s there a way to make the doggone thing behave?
The way I got the Registered Servers and Object explorer to behave this way was to right click on a tab and play with the vertical tabbing options.
Previous to 2012, grid results from SSMS queries pasted into Excel beautifully and were easy to format.in 2008, The results from this query pasted into a spreadsheet with the query contained in a single Excel cell:
(sample - not the whole script)
select top 300
Avg_CPU_Time
,Total_Physical_Reads
,convert(datetime,Last_execution_time) as Timestamp
,Stored_Procedure
,Query_text
from dbadmin.dbo.History_CPU_IO_ByQueryAndSP
This was wonderful. I could deliver to developers wonderfully tidy reports on query resource usage with timestamps along with which stored procedure the queries came from.
Can't do that in SSMS 2012. Try it. It's a disaster. The Query_text, when pasted, spreads across multiple Excel columns, including the ones designated for other data. The result is totally unreadable.how to make the query_text stay in it's own cell? I've tried converting query_text to varchar and ntext. Same results.
Normally, whenever I've wanted to export data to a file (which is very rare that I do), I have used SSMS. Yes, I'm sure there's a way to do it in T-SQL, but I've just done an export using the SSMS wizard.
But that appears to me to no longer be available in SSMS 2012. So, how is it done from SSMS 2012? Or is it only done using T-SQL/DDL?
While working on a forum posting on this site, I came up with this code:
WITH JoinedTables(UserGroup, UserName) as (
SELECT 'UG1', 'Tom' UNION All
SELECT 'UG1', 'Harry' UNION all
SELECT 'UG2', 'Albert' UNION all
SELECT 'UG3', 'Jim' UNION all
SELECT 'UG3', 'Sam'
)
SELECT UserGroup "@name"
, (SELECT UserName "User" FROM JoinedTables T2
Where t2.UserGroup = t1.UserGroup
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT UserGroup FROM JoinedTables) t1
FOR XML PATH('UserGroup'), ROOT('UserGroupsInfo')
The code does what I want but SSMS seems to have problems with the results. Every so often, if I click on the results, instead of opening a tab showing the XML, SSMS crashes.
I'm running SP1, version 11.0.3000.0.
how to backup and restore SQL Server databases using ssms in sql server 2012
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working with SSRS. I do have admin rights. I can connect to the url https://localhost/Reports and can create the new reports and subscription. Delete the reports and subscriptions.
But when I tried to connect to Reporting Services from SSMS, I am getting below error.
I used the windows authentication. It is showing that the user name or password is not valid or you don't have permission to access this server
I can connect to the database engine and Integration services but unable to connect to the Reporting services.
I want to provide access to one of my users to a database on the production server. I do not want this user to be able to view anything other than the tables in that database, or the other databases on my production server.
I gave him access to one DB - TestDB- and made him data_reader on that DB. I had set that as his default database. However, when he logs in using SSMS he can see from Object Explorer a listing of all the databases on that server, although he can't access any of those. This is an external user and I don't want him to see any of that stuff, including other objects (SPs, Views, etc.,) even within TestDB.
To summarize, I want to grant access to a windows user to see/select from ONLY tables in TestDB of my production server, and I do not want him to be able to see any objects other than tables of this DB from SSMS.
I used the selfssl.exe tool to generate a certificate on my db server, successfully added to Personal Certificates in MMC, added R/W permissions for the service account to the cert, selected the new certificate in the protocols for mssql and restarted the service. So far so good, however when trying to connect from SSMS with encryption check box checked I get the following error:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -2146893019)
The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.
When I look in MMC, the only intended purpose for the certificate is "Server authentication" and I'm not able to add "Client authentication". Does selfssl.exe not support client authentication?
I setup an AG with a listener (AO1) on three servers.
Server1 = Primary, Readable Secondary = No
Server2 = Secondary, Readable Secondary = Read-intent only
Server3 = Secondary, Readable Secondary = Read-intent only
Connecting to AO1 with default settings, I end up on Server1.
If I attempt to connect to AO1 with specifying ;ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly (with or without specifying the db name) in SSMS, still lands me on Server1.
Also on topic, in this scenario I would actually want Server1 to be a readable secondary (in the event of a fail-over). So If I did set it as Yes, even If I do get the issue above working, won't I always land on Server1 then?
Version: SQL SERVER 2012 enterprise edition and SP2.
Due to one of the security reason, I have changed default port 1433 to another port number in configuration manger tools->protocols for MSSQLSERVER->TCP/IP --> IP ALL section mention another port number.
After restarted service, SQL SSMS able to connect server itself and new port number also LISTENING.
But SQL client SSMS not connected to one of the PC side after changing default port.
Using SSMS 2012, we are experiencing extremely slow response times when opening SQL job steps to edit and also deploying SSIS Pkg's. Sysadmins have no problem. Users in the ssis_admin role have no problem. It's the rest of the users who have issues.

SSMS know you have an open tran when you attempt to close your SQL query window. Just looking for that to show or alert before that.
The context behind this is you given a script and its run on SQL and for some reason the tran is not committed. or rolled back.
