SQL Tools :: Tool To Create Graphical Layout Of Tables?
Nov 6, 2015
SQL Server 2008 R2. SQL Server Management Studio 2016 CTP2. I am looking for a tool where I could create and save a nice graphical layout of some tables in a database and their relation to each other (how they join or connect). I get something like this in the Query Editor, where it shows the fields and joins of tables as I select them. However, I cannot save this representation to show say in a PowerPoint or Word document (Visio, etc.).
Is there a tool that would enable me to create a nice document showing my tables and their relationships, which would also allow me to annotate each table with notes about the fields, etc.?
I searched and found a reference to "Visual Database Tools" which is supposed to be part of Management Studio 2016. However, I cannot find such a set of tools listed anywhere in my menus.

Do you guys use a graphical tool for building SQL - like MS Query? I know its lazy but it does save lots of typing for long multiple-table queries.
Also, the graphical drag-drop method of adding relationships in Access would seem much quicker than adding rules thru sql.

Other than SSRS, is there a cheap product or free tool that can present SQL Queries in graphical format that is easy to implement?

Hello,
I have SQL Server Express working however I don't see any tools to create a database and tables.
I am trying to create a database to store stock quotes that I will input from a c# program.
What tool should I use to design the database?
Thank you!

Does that make sense? I have 2 tables, one is an older version, one newer. The newer version has some additional fields, indexes, etc. I'd love to have a tool to run against them that would generate an ALTER TABLE script to modify the old table so that it matches the new table.
Is there anything like that out there?

I would like to be able to view the complete SQL command that is sent from a Microsoft Access query which has linked SQL Server tables through ODBC, and the query also has some VBA functions manipulating and filtering data.I tried using the SQL Profiler to view the sql command send to SQL Server but all I see is the simple query format and some of the fields. I don't see the fields that have a VBA function such as trim(fieldname) etc in the column. And If I use a VBA fucntion in the Criteria then nothing shows up in SQL Profiled under the TextData column.How can I see the complete SQL command sent to SQL Server?

I'm trying to create an output file in a specific layout. For some reason my output file is adding an extra 10 spaces between the Account Number and the Check Number in the statement below. The rest of the output file looks fine. Where the extra 10 spaces are coming from? I need 1 Filler Space between these fields.
SELECT DISTINCT
CASE p.PaymentMethodID WHEN 10 THEN 'I' WHEN 60 THEN 'V' WHEN 50 THEN 'S' ELSE 'I' END
+ CONVERT(CHAR(1), '')
+ (REPLICATE('0', 20 - LEN(ba.AccountNumber))+ CONVERT(CHAR(20), ba.AccountNumber))
+ CONVERT(CHAR(1), '')
+ (REPLICATE('0', 18 - LEN(p.CheckNumber)) + CONVERT(VARCHAR(18), p.CheckNumber))
[Code] .....

I designed a report in reporting services 2005. When i look at the view layout for the report everything is aligned correctly but if i go to print preview one matrix is shifted up or down. I have tried to put the matrix inside a rectangle but the issue is still present. Does anyone know why this is happening or any suggestions on what to do to fix it.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm a newbie with SQL so excuse my igorance. I'm running an application that uses MSDE2000 as its source db and would like to create a small [10 field] db that would also use MSDE. I want to use a separate db though and not share the first one. What I'm looking for is suggestions on a development tool to create the database with as I'm not familiar with SQL tools. I have a lot of Access experience though so the concepts are not new.
Database requirements are pretty basic.
10 fields [8 text, 2 numeric]
A button field to Add New Record
A search field
Column sorting.
That's it. I could do this in a pinch with Access so knowing what tool to use should make it easy. Any chance that I could do it with Access and then port it to a SQL db?
Thanks,
Bob

Just a general question about any recommendations for a third party tool that would allow setting up a data-dictionary against SQL Server tables and a user could go in and build their own queries, reports. Perhaps they could save their query/report definitions for reuse. Other nice to haves - ability to output to PDF and export to XLS. Would prefer web interface, but can consider desktop as well. Any immediate recommendations?
Thanks.

Has anyone created a report that shows something like performance monitor, but shows only SQL CPU use. I would be interested to see which users cause high CPU use, at what moments in time is SQL processing high and what queries are causing the processor to spike.

I have many tables, and I just want to print the relationships between them. The ones without foreign keys to primary key relations are irrelevant. I made a diagram of all tables in sql server management studio, and it shows the key relations, but its a very large diagram horizontally and vertically. Is there a way to print the whole thing so that it doesn't take endless pages that I don't know how to piece together?

I am trying to load the data from one data base to another using the Task->Generate Script->tables (data only). So I saved the script of the data and when tried to run the script to the destination DB, getting the below error when ran the script.
Error: Visual Studio has encountered an exception. This may be caused by an extension.You can get more information by running the application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file'C:UsersKK67AppDataRoamingMicrosoftAppEnv10.0ActivityLog.xm'. When tried opening the folder using the above path... don't see anything for AppData folder from that path.

I want to be able to load and unload, byte-for-byte, a file to and from a field of data type IMAGE in a SQL Server CE database. The files are larger than 8000 bytes so IMAGE appears to be the way to go data type wise.
I'm using VB 2008 but pseudocode for any VS language would be awesome.
I was able to do this without much effort using ADODB and its stream object, fetching a recordset object and updating the appropriate data field one "chunk" of bytes at a time. I cannot for the life of me find a way of doing this using, for example, a SqlCeResultSet.
I've tried using ADODB to connect to a SqlCe SDF database file, using a connection string that I found online, and am able to write action and select queries successfully against the database... but when I try and return a recordset that is updatable, it returns an error. So no help there.
I've searched other threads in the forums, and online in general, and I've found information on loading/unloading graphic files using a memoryStream and the toArray method thereof, but this will not work as many of the files I want to load and unload as BLOBs are not graphical in nature. FileStreams do not implement the toArray method, so I can't just stream an arbitrary file's worth of bytes that way. I also do not want to change the original file in any fashion--e.g., a hash of the source file should be identical to the file after it has been loaded into the data field and then unloaded into a new file.
Any thoughts? Your help is MUCH appreciated!

When adding/removing tables in SSMS 2016 CTP2, I keep tripping into:
Index was outside the bounds of the Array
When editing a SQL Server 2014 Database.
If I use the SSMS for SQL 2014, the error is not happening. Possibly a reintroduced bug. Tried to use the Connect site to submit, but it says I am not enabled to use this area.

Is there a way to leave the graphical 'Include Execution Plan' on by default in SSMS? I don't know how many times I run a long-running query, say to myself, "wow, that took a while; I wonder what the execution plan looks like?" only to realize that I left it turned off. Now I have to turn it on, and wait for the query to run again. I'm guessing there's a setting in the options somewhere to always leave it on, but I'm not sure where

Hello all,
Being still a relative newcomer to SQL Server (people may say I'm trying to take on too much being somewhat inexperienced once they read about the problem I'm trying to tackle, but alas...) I'm running into the following problem: I need to create tables in my user database on the fly (using Stored Procedures) so that each table can be created many times in the database but only once for every user. The tables should be named something like "username.Table1", "username.Table2" etc. as opposed to "dbo.Table1". I then want to use the stored procedure from .NET/C# in my web application, so that i can create the complete set of usertables for each of my clients.
Now, I tackled the stored procedure part (that is, it creates all the tables I need with all the parameters I want) and am able to use it from my web application (which took some time to learn but proved quite easy to do), but I cannot seem to get it coupled to the current user (instead of the dbo). Every time I trie, the tables are created as dbo.Table1 and when I try to create a new set, it gives a warning ("table with name such and so already exists..."). I made sure to log in as an authenticated user (using forms authentication) before trying to create the tables but this gives the aforementioned result.
What am I doing wrong? I use Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express and IIS version 5.1
Please help :-D
Greetingz,
DJ Roelfsema

I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise under Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise. My current backup strategy uses T-SQL jobs run by SQL Agent (writes out *.bak files) and then I have an Integration Services job that copies the *.bak files to our NAS device. I have performed a restore without issue. The jobs are all automated every four hours via SQL Agent. Is this a sound strategy or are there additional benefits to using 3rd party tools? If so, what are the advantages and which tool provides them?

Login failed for user 'TOSHIBA-USERASPNET'
I know that the file persmission for the web application have to include aspnet, so i keep resetting the folder permission for aspnet in file manager, but the login failed keeps coming back every day or two
problem is after working with VS05 Pro, SQL Server Management Studio CTP, somehow the aspnet persmission get changed, use alot of sqldatasource wizards and often there is a conflict/hang between the datasource wizard and the need to have the mdf in a dettached state within VS server explorer,
not sure but the procedure to fix this seems to be to reboot, detach and re-attach the mdf in the Sql server Studio tool, re-apply the aspnet file permission on the web app folders (wonder should i be doing this in IIS instead), make sure the mdf within server explorer is detached, the it works
anyway, getting real tired of the resulting delays and design time derailment, clues greatly appreciated, thanks
sometimes i can use View in Browser when in VS05 form view and i wont get the aspnet folder permission error and other times i do.
last thing, is it a bad idea to give aspnet full permission for the entire web applicaiton??

Is there - apart from the notorious RESTORE HEADERONLY - an tool which is able to tell which SQL Server version created a specific BAK file? I'm looking for a tool that can be used w/o an available/running SQL Server installation.
Alternatively, is there any documentation about what is read with RESTORE HEADERONLY so I could write a tool myself?
Where would I find the version "bytes" in a BAK file?

I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.
