SQL Enterprise Manager - Not Very Usefull Tool For Building Views
May 29, 2007
Man do I struggle with Enterprise Manager as a graphical tool for
building views etc.
Its flaky and hangs frequenlty so i have to kill it with the task
manager and re open it.
You cant debug functions ( or am I missing something)
But the worst thing is that it appears to cache the results of views
and doesnt refresh from the source.
If I build a view that includes a calculated field using a custom
function, and have another view thats built on the first one, then
change the function to produce a different result, the second view
dosnt show the new value, its shows the old value. I have to cut the
sql statment from the view and then paste it back in and save it on
both views before the data is refreshed correctly.
Has anyone else found this??
Surely there are some better tools out there to replace Enterprise
Manager for building views and SQL statements graphcally?
Cheers

Any ideas?SELECT RTRIM(dbo.CUST.NBR) AS CustomerNumber, CASE NAM_FMT_FLG WHEN 'Y' THEN rtrim(FST_NAM) ELSE '' END AS FirstName, CASE NAM_FMT_FLG WHEN 'Y' THEN rtrim(LST_NAM) ELSE '' END AS LastName, CASE NAM_FMT_FLG WHEN 'N' THEN dbo.trim(NAM) ELSE '' END AS Company, RTRIM(CUST.ADRS_1) AS Address1, RTRIM(CUST.ADRS_2) AS Address2, dbo.Trim(CUST.CITY) AS City, dbo.Trim(CUST.STATE) AS State, LEFT(dbo.Trim(CUST.ZIP_COD), 5) AS ZipCode, RTRIM(REPLACE(REPLACE(CUST.PHONE_NO_1, '*', ''), '-', '')) AS PhoneNumber1, CustomerLastSales.LastSalesDate, CUST.LST_SLS_AMT, CustomerLastSales.TotalSales, CustomerLastSales.AverageSales, CustomerLastSales.NumberofTickets, CASE ECOMMERCE_FLG WHEN 'Y' THEN 'Web' ELSE 'Catalog' END AS TypeOfBuyer, LEFT(CUST.USR_DEF_NUM_FLD_1, 5) AS SourceCode, CASE CUST.USR_DEF_NUM_FLD_2 WHEN 'N' THEN ' N' ELSE ' Y ' END AS SendMail, CASE CUST.USR_DEF_NUM_FLD_3 WHEN ' N' THEN ' N' ELSE ' Y ' END AS RentFROM dbo.CUST LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CustomerLastSales ON dbo.CUST.NBR = dbo.CustomerLastSales.CustomerNumberWHERE (dbo.CUST.CAT = 'MAIL')

Hi all,I need to gain access to a remote SQL Server 2000 storing my data.The remote SQL machine can only be accessed via an internet connection,that is - it is not part of my network.I know Enterprise Manager can do the job, but EM only comes bundled inMS SQL Server, which is not installed on the client machine.Please let me know which other (preferably free) tools can performsuch remote access.Thanks,Gilad Haimov

Hi GuysUpon creating and running a view in the SQL Svr 2000, Enterprise managerthat takes more than 30 secs to return, I get an 'ODBC SQL Driver Timeoutexpired'. I have tried resetting every timeout I can find but it makes nodifference. Its damned irritating as this is an ENORMOUS DB and most of theviews I create are going to take 60 seconds + to return.Anyone know how to reset the timeout to suit the circumstances.CheersPaulBJ

Hi Sqlserver experts,I use the SQL Server enterprise manager of MSSQL 2000 regularly.I'm often annoyed by the automatic blanking of the table views.If this happens then mostly with the hint :"The Results pane have been cleared to conserve server resources.To re-establish the result set, run query again."Is there any possibility to switch that blanking off ?Best regards,Daniel Wetzler

Hi all,
I have a question about re-creating the sql portion on either node a or b in a clustered situation. Is it possible to do this without affecting the working node and database ? or is the best solution to make a ghosted image of the node after install is complete and if the node fails just get to a point on the affected node where you can copy the image back?
Thanks for any feedback.

On one of our machines, all of the SQL Server 2000components except for the main Server component (SQL Servercore) itself were installed (Management tools, etc) a while agoand everything was running fine. Now I go and add/install theServer component and then Service Pack 3a.It seems that Service Manager won't start up (I get an hourglass cursor)and now I find that Enterprise Manager won't run as well. No errormessages appeared and I don't think I saw anything unusual inthe log file.However, I can use Enterprise Manager on a differentmachine and connect to the database (so the databaseitself seems to be running).Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and how tofix it? I like to see if I can repair this without havingto do a reinstall.Thanks.PF

I installed SQL Server MSDE 2000 but I can't find how to start it. Does this package include an Enterprise Manager or not? I thought that maybe it was a standard XP Pro feature. I had no problem finding it in W2000 Pro.

When I open databases, there is nothing there - not even Master, Model, Temp, Pubs, etc.
When I open the query analyzer, however, they all appear in the drop down.
What is up with that? and how can I remedy?

Has anyone encountered this error: When you are in Enterprise manager and you select a database then the tables tab and then you select a table and go to open table- select all rows, I get an error--An unexpected error happened during this operation-Query Designer encountered a query error! Please let me know if you have seen this. Also, when I access this from one networked computer I get the same error, then when I access it from another I do not!! The servers are interacting with Pivotal. The one that works does not!!

We can no longer open tables in EM. The error message is;
An unexpected error happened during this operation
[Query] - Query Designer encountered a Query error:
Unspecified error
The tables are fine - can access them other ways.It looks as if the fault is in the script used by EM. Anyway to clear this ??

I am considering upsizing my Access 2000 DB to a SQL 7 server. I was told that having SQL 7 Enterprise Manager is highly prefferd but not essential as I can maintain the upsized DB with Access 2000. The only way that I have been able to find JUST enterprise manager seems to be with purchasing the whole SQL 7 program for $1300! Microsoft cannot be that cruel, that you have to buy the whole program just for Enterprise Manager!
My questions are:
Can I download just MS SQL 7 Enterprise Manager anywhere for a reasonable fee or free?
and
if not, can I continue to use Access 2000 to maintain the SQL 7 upsized DB?

Is it possible to administer both 6.5 and 7.0 databases from the same SQL Enterprise Manager? I have read that you cannot do this because the 7.0 "plug-in" to the MMC wont work with 6.5 databases.

Hi,
I would like to know if we can present users to access details database information about the databases on a server through Enterprise Manager.
If you create a SQL login and do NOT give it access to any database, if someone logons on your server with enterprise manager, even though he does not have access to any database, he will still see the list of all database on your servers plus tons of sensitive information like database owner.
Is is possible to limit enterprise manager to only view information about database that the user has access to?
Thanks
Mark

Does anyone know how to turn off or disable the auto discovery for Enterprise Manager. Apparently our Network group is complaining that Enterprise Manager is generating noise on the network, it is not signifcant in volume but they complain it impacts there ability to detect hacking attempts on our network because it causes some false positives. I generally keep Enterprise Manager running because I will always have some manual job running from it and we have so many servers it takes awhile for them to all load when I first fire it up.

Hi,
I have SQL server 2000 client machine on my XP desktop which worked fine
until yesterday.
Yesterday, I tried to set up client access (a tool from IBM to access AS400) unsuccesfully. Since ever, Each time I try to open a table in enterprise manager, I get the following error message
"The query cannot be executed because some files are either missing or not
registered. Run setup again to make sure the required files are registered".
While when I issue a query in analyzer it works fine.
I did that several times without success. Even, I removed the whole SQL 2000
setup, rebooted my machine, ran set up again for client tools which gave the
same result. Also, I re-setup MDAC2.6 SP2 but no way.
Which files are corrupted ?and I don't understand after doing all that,
setup goes smoothly without indicating any errors, but still when you open a
table in enterprise manager, it gives the same error.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
My Question is regarding the Query Analyzer.
When we click on the Query Analyzer Shortcut, it will prompt for a user id and password.but when we expand the databases node from EM and clicks on Tools->Query Analyzer Menu, after selecting a database node, the QA does not prompt for the user id and password. Can any one explain this behaviour of QA..
I am using Mixed mode authentication for my db server.

Is it possible to add custom columns to the design table interface.
For example could I add custom column for some data on want to store under a table column. I am used to vb.net and I am able to add custom properties to a control. Is this type of customization possible for SQL Server. Is it possible to add a custom tab to the tab control where columns are located at the bottom of the designer?
