SQL Server 2005 Mgmt Studio: Save Table Vew Positions
Nov 28, 2006
I'm in stage of manually populating a database that requires me to have about a dozen tables open simultaneously. It would be great to be able to save the tables, locations and sizing so that these can be recalled and opened automatically. Currently I do a screen capture, which is pretty lame.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Config:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.2047.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.2047.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.1.2600
No. No I do not want to save changes to that sp_who2 query I just ran. I just want to close the window, and not be bothered with the computer's obsessive compulsive need to save everything I do. Dang it all, it sounds like my computer is working for the NSA leaving a paper trail that even a kitten with Attention Deficit Disorder on catnip could follow.
As you can tell, I am weaning myself off of Query Analyzer, and can not find the checkbox for "Don't bother me when I close a window". Anyone else come across it, yet? It does not appear to be under tools->options or query->query options.
I created a bunch of stored procedures on my dev machine using Visual Studio 2008 interface.
Now I am using MS SQL Server Mgmt Studio 2005 and looking at the PRODUCTION database online. I tried to create the new stored procedure. But how do I SAVE it to the database? It keeps asking me to save the sql file locally, but I don't know how to do it to the db itself. Please help.
I've had requests for a version of my product ViEmu, a VS.NET 2003-VS2005 add-in, which will work within SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. I had a look at the Mgmt Studio, and it seems to be a version of the VS2005 environment customized for the product. There is a registry hive along the line of the one in Visual Studio, but located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsShell.
I looked for any hint online, but it seems largely undocumented.
I tried plugging my software by writing the right 'Packages' and 'AutoloadPackages' keys, and running "SqlWb /setup", which seems to do something. Nothing happened afterwards, anyway, the DLL doesn't seem to be loaded into the process. I tried using the '/log' option, but an error message comes up (which doesn't describe the /setup option either).
Is there a way to load a VS package into SQL Server 2005 Mgmt Studio? Is this a problem with the PLK? Is it unsupported? Has anybody been successful in such a feat? Would it be ok if I hack some way, no matter how obscure? Is this deliberately turned off, as in the Express editions?
Best regards and thanks in advance,

I am running into a problem and have been browsing the web and reading nonstop for answers with no success. My company just installed SQL Server 2005 and I am trying to connect to it via SQL Server Management Studio from my network computer in the same office building.
When I browse for Local or Network Servers in the initial popup box at SQL Management Studio Startup, it doesn't show any servers at all. Is there something I need to enable on the Server using the Configuration Manager or one of the other tools to allow my network computer to "see" the SQL Server?
Any insight would be MUCH appreciated. Even a link to a how-to would suffice. Thank you.
I have Visual Studio 2005 standard installed and want to add SQL server managment studio can I just install the extras pack or do I need to re-install SQL server express with the advanced options.
I have just installed SQL Server 64x on Vista 64 but when I try to find the server in SQL Management Studio nothing appears to connect to. I did run the program to make my Vista login a SQL Admin. Any ideas why?
Is there any way to provide 'Windows' credentials to connect the Management Studio to a remote SQL 2000 DB when I am not logged on as that user (on the dev machine where I am running Mgmt Studio)?
I do of course have local machine admin rights via an AD domain account added to the machine administrators on the remote SQL box itself.
...why the script generator in 2005 Management Studio is SO FREAKING SLOW!?
2000's EM would script out all the objects in a databases in 15 seconds. The new GUI is taking three-to-five seconds per object on my 1000 object database.
I installed Mgmt Studio and SQL 2005 on a new server - I imported my complete old SQL 2000 databases - then shut down my Original SQL 2000 server and used that Idenitical IP as the Mgmt Studio SQL 2005's IP
I am using Linux Jakarta Tomcat v5.0.27 and all SQL references are referring only to the IP number of ther server and not using DNS -
Originally I was getting an error when my system tried to access the SQL stating that it was an untrusted connection - I then realized that the IP number referred to was not the primary IP and I changed that so the it was.
Both the Linux and SQL 2005 are now using network IPs and then I got a message that the password that I was using was not strong enough so I changed that as well - then all my logging dissappeared
When I try to connect now there is no indication in any log (SQL nor Windows) that I am attempting to connect - the website just hangs for like 3 minutes and fails the login stating that the username/password is incorrect (or it could not verify it) even though I changed nothing on the Tomcat side and it was logging before the IP werent matching.
Is there a significance difference between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 that will not allow my Tomcat to connect?
Few Addl Notes I can ping to and from each server I can telnet from Linux to SQL 2005 Linux of course is not part of my Windows 2003 Domain but it is on the same network
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.
Hello, does anyone hate the new interface where you manage the Table Relationships, Indexes, and etc?
I hate it a lot for these reasons. 1) Dialog window cannot be resized (really really annoying) 2) The Table-Relationship configuration dialog window is not as convenient to use as SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager.
I hope this is the correct place to provide feedback and I hope this will get modified a bit in the next service pack (or) update....
how do I attach my user instance mdf and chagne scheme etc? for example my mdf is at c:sqldatamyapp.mdf

I have created two tables and receive a "columns in table ... do not match an existing primary key or UNIQUE constraint." error message.
Table1: GOSMapping
PK: AuthInd (bigint)
PK: GLCode (nchar(8))
-both columns were set as PK simultaneously
Table2: GOSTracking
PK: AdjID
FK: AuthInd (bigint)
FK: GLCode (nchar(8))
I open Table2 in the designer and right click, then select Relationships. I choose both of the columns that are the PK in Table1, and set the exact fields as the FK in Table2. I get the message when trying to save this relationship. All data types are congruent, and the primary key has been set as the combination of the two PK columns in Table1. Any ideas?
Hello:I didn't find any documentation that notes save point names are casesensitive, but I guess they are...Stored Proc to reproduce:/* START CODE SNIPPET */If Exists (Select * From sysobjects Where Type = 'P' and Name ='TestSaveTran')Drop Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranGoCreate Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranAsBeginDeclare@tranCount int--Transaction HandlingSelect @tranCount = @@TRANCOUNTIf (@tranCount=0)Begin Tran localtranElseSave Tran localtranBegin Try--Simulate Error While ProcessingRAISERROR('Something bad happened', 16, 1)/*If this proc started transaction then commit it,otherwise return and let caller handle transaction*/IF (@tranCount=0)Commit Tran localtranEnd TryBegin Catch--Rollback to save pointRollback Tran LOCALTRAN --<< NOTE case change--Log Error--Reraise ErrorEnd CatchEndGo--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/*Should receive the following message:Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN. No transaction or savepoint of that namewas found.*//* END CODE SNIPPET */What is really strange, if there is a transaction open, then no erroris thrown. So if you execute as so:/* START CODE SNIPPET */Begin Tran--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/* END CODE SNIPPET */There is no "Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN...." message.Questions:1-)Can someone confirm save point names are case sensitve and this isnot happening because of a server setting?2-)Is this a logic error that I am not seeing in the example codeabove?We have changed our code to store the save point name in a variable,which will hopefully mitigate this "problem".Thx.

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.
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?

I have created a SQL Everywhere database using SQL Server Management Studio (because I couldn't figure out a way to create it with VisualStudio.NET).
Then, I try to open it in Visual Studio.NET, using the following steps:
Add New Data Source Pick type Database Click New Connection Pick Data Source "<other>", and Data Provider ".NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB". Pick OLE DB Provider "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Everywhere Edition OLE DB Provider for Windows". Enter a full path to the filename as the Server or File Name. (I've tried it with and without doubling the backslashes in the pathname - no difference.) Click Advanced and enter the Password that I assigned to the DB. Click Test Connection - it says it succeeded. Click OK. It says "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."
Is there a way to tell SQL Server 2005 Management Studio that I don't want it to include "USE [dbname]" and "/****** Object: Table [dbo].[TBL_NAME] Script Date: [date] ******/" when it creates scripts? I searched the forums and couldn't find an answer, and I don't see it in Tools->Options.
I deleted a database referenced in a maint. task and then I tried to delete the maint. task. I am getting an error "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" and also it says Named Pipes Provider:, error 40: Could not open a connection to SQL , error 53). I think it has something to do with deleting Maint. Tasks outside of SSIS. Does anyone know of a solution?

As you can imagine, the links take me to a "We're sorry... no additional info available" message. Has anyone else seen this, or better yet, resolved it?
Although I've got a fine running mirror between my clustered 2005 sp1 SQL box in Tampa, and my DR box in Dallas, I cannot run mirroring monitor. It fails with "no data received" in all fields.
Likewise, I cannot run "sp_dbmmonitorresults" or in fact any "sp_dbm*" stored procedure.....because none of them exist on the server.
A fast perusal of our various SQL 2005 servers reveals that only those servers that also have the SQL Server Management Studio installed to them have any of the mirroring system stored procedures as well.
This poses a dilemma for me. I have a serious need to monitor mirroring, however I work in a very sensitive industry with uber security, and we simply cannot be permitted to install SQL Server Management Studio on a SQL server that contains production data.
I presume that it is in fact these system stored procedures that enable the graphical Mirroring Monitor, explaining the failure.
Is there a method whereby I can get these system stored procedures installed to the clustered SQL server all by themselves? Installing and then uninstalling the Management Studio is *not* an option. Thanks!
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.
All: As the subject suggests I am encountering an error while running a package through an agent. Unfortunately the error does not provide much information for me to diagnose the problem, and hence the post.
I have pasted the error below and appreciate help from anyone.
Thank you,

I use SQL Server Management Studio Express to work in several databases. What gets annoying, is that the databases I work in have 30+ tables in them, only 5-10 of which I actually work with. Then there's the stored procedures I have to sort through to find the ones that I need and so on. I set filters so that I see only what is applicable to me, but I hate having to set those filters every time I start Management Studio back up. Is there a way to save my settings so that it opens the same way every time? I've looked around and can't find an answer to this.
We have Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Version 10.50.2500.0.I change to "Results To Text", and "Display Results in a Separate Tab". Then I restart SQL Server Management Studio; and my settings are gone.Is there a way to save my settings?
I've been using my DotNetNuke database for weeks on my local PC with SQL Server Express. It attaches as a "User Instance". Basically, I am using all the DotNetNuke defaults. Today I decided to attach the DotNetNuke database in SQL Server Management Studio Express and peek at the tables. I attached the database; then I detached it when I was done. This all went well. But when I tried to open my DotNetNuke web site again I now get a message that it cannot connect. Attaching and detaching the database in SQL Server Management Studio obviously changed something about the database, but I don't know what. My connection string to the database has not changed.
The specific error displayed in the browser is: ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider
In event viewer is this message:
Exception information:
Exception type: SqlException
Exception message: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
