I am using SQLExpress and want to use some of the sample data to educate myself. however, I cannot seem to connect to the Adventureworks databse. I do not even see it within Management Studio Express. I would be grateful for advice or an article that will push in the right direction.
When I install AdventureWorks.db for SQL Express, it runs without errors. The database files (data and logs) are in the SQL Express 2005 data directory. However, I can not see the database in Managment Studio Express CTP. I've tried repairing and uninstall/install again. Does not help.
I have SQL Express 2005 cleanly installed. I have the pubs and Northwinds databases cleanly installed. (I was able to execute the queries that came for installing these). I can see both pubs and Northwinds in Management Studio Express CTP.
I just downloaded AdventureWorks_Data.mdf, AdventureWorks_Data.ldf, AdventureWorksDW_Data.mdf, and AdventureWorksDW_Data.LDF files to the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1|MSSQLData folder of my Windows XP Pro PC. I tried to attach the AdventureWorks database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express in the following way: I clicked on SQL Server 2005 Express=>SQL Server Management Studio Express=>Right clicked on Databases=> clicked on "Attach..."=> "Attach Databese" showed up. But I can not type in anything under the MDF File Location, Database Name, Attach As, Owner, Status, Message!!!??? What is wrong in my way of doing the attachment of AdventureWorks database (described above)? Please help and advise.
Thanks,
Scott Chang
P. S. I do not have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Walkthrough: Install the AdventureWorks Database (http://msdn2.microsoft/en-us/library/ms31035.aspx) : To confirm your SQL Server data directory (Start=>All Programs, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio Tools, Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt) steps 1 thru 4 can not be applied to my SQL Server Management Studio Express. I read an SQL Express post dated 19 April 2006 and learned the above-mentioned way to attach the AdventureWorks database in the SQL Server Management Studio Express. But that way does not work for me.
I downloaded and ran AdventureWorks.msi into my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) one year ago.But I did not know how to attach it to my SSMSE then. Last week, I deleted it from the "Add or Remove" of Control Panel and I downloaded the new AdventureWork.msi and installed it my SSMSE. Today, I tried to use the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express for the first Stored Procedure programming. I clicked on AdventureWorks.mdf and I got the following error: One or more files do not match the primary of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupt and should be restored from a backup. Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'CENADe1enxshc'. Log file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAdventureWorks_Data_log.ldf' does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database of the log may have been rebuilt previously. Please help and advise me how to correct this problem.

Hello,We are having a very strange problem. We have a table with about 5million rows in it. The problem is with one of the non clusteredindexes. I have noticed that sometimes in query analyzer, when doingan execution plan, the optimizer is NOT doing an index seek, or abookmark lookup when the query should. It sometimes will do a fullclustered index scan on the primary key, which takes much longer. Forexample:select * from MyTable where fk_value = 1001201the optimizer WILL NOT do an index seek or bookmark lookup and for thisquery:select * from MyTable where fk_value = 1001222it WILL do an index seek on the non clustered index. The onlydifference is the values specified for fk_value.I have done a update statistics MyTable with full scan and it stillwill not use the non clustered index for some queries. I have alsotried:select * from MyTable (INDEX=IX_FK_VALUE) where fk_value = 1001201to force the optimizer to use this index, but it still DOES NOT usethis index. Its wierd because for some values it will use the index,and some it will not. Not sure what is going onAny help would be greatly appreciated.TIA
Can someone help me to connect to sqlsever 2005 using codes. i have created the database but dont know how to connect using vb.net 2008. All comment will be of great help. thanks for the other help.
I wanted to thank everyone for posting a ton of valuable information in these forums. I also want to thank all the moderators that have been replying with really insightful help!
I am trying to programmatically create an SSIS package to take .CSV data and put it into a SQL Server 2005. I am assuming that this is pretty common scenario.
I have used many of the examples in this forum as well as heavily borrowing from this example http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/Digging_SSIS_object_model.asp written by Moim Hossain.
I can get my package to create and execute properly but no data is being written to the SQL Server table. This has puzzled me for the last 2 days!
I know the issue isnt with the server itself because I tested it by graphically creating a test SSIS package and it transfers the .CSV data to the table perfectly.
Would anyone know why this would happen? The Execution results are returning success but no data is written to the table!
Could anyone please provide insight as to what my issue may be?
Thanks in advance!

Goodday all I wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying to work through a tutorial using a sample database , Adventureworks. When I drag a table "Address" onto my page to set up a grid veiw , and start debugging , the error message reads "invalid object name Address" On the database explorer the table has (Person) next to the name Address. This I think has something to do with the schema. I cannot get it right to change anything , no matter what I try. I have used this data base in a windows application and it works fine. No (Person ) attached to the table name. Has anyone got any ideas. Thanks Rob
I've download and installed the sample database but the Server can't see it .. it doesn't appear in the User databases. I installed using the defaults. Anyone ha d the same problem and solved it?
I downloaded and installed the .msi from codeplex. After installation I open SQL Server Management Studio but don't see AdventureWorksDB in the list of databases. How is this possible? Should I not be seeing this new database? Do I have to do something else?
I am unable to attach the AdventureWorks database in management studio. I installed it when I installed SQL Server 2005 but can not find the mdf or ldf files anywhere. When I inserted the installation disks again to do a custom instal, and selected AdventureWorks, the response came back that it was already installed. What do I need to do to be able to attache this db in the management studio?
I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 express Edition with advanced services.
My attempt to install the AdventureWorks from "Add or Remove Programs" failed for I was not able to see the "Documentation, Samples, and Sample Databases" node from "Feature Selection".
After reading a little bit I discovered that I had to download AdventureWorks from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/librry/ms144235.aspx
First I downoladed and installed SqlServerSamples.msi and then AdventureWorksDB.msi however I cannot find AdventureWorks.mdf to attach to my instance? Inside the folder C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQ.1MSSQLData I have AdventureWorks_Data.mdf and AdventureWorks_Log
I've installed AdventureWorks, attached it to SQL Express and wanted to see its Database Diagrams. When I click on the Database Diagrams, I get this error message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express ------------------------------
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 really see that in properties for this database there's no owner, while if I do
sp_helpdb 'AdventureWorks'
It shows that the owner is 'IDB-SERVMichael' , which is my user.
I further tried to set this user as an owner in AdventureWorks properties-files window (where it showed no owner), but it says :

Set owner failed for Database 'AdventureWorks'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)

Hi, I have been looking at the Adventure works DB diagram and I am confused about the relationship that employees, customers and individuals has with contact i.e. a 1-1, 1-many or many-many relationship. Also why is it broken down like that.

The instance name of my DB is ComputerNameSQL2005 , I haven't done any changes in the *.sln file of StoreCSVS
AdventureWorks and AdventureWorksDW are good samples for transaction and dw.
Is there any sample of SSIS package to load data from AdventureWorks to AdventureWorksDW? For example, I'd like to update AdventureWorksDW db everyday from transaction db.
How about if some dimensions changed, like employees, and productions?
The organization I work for will be converting to SQL Server 2005 in the near future so I downloaded the free 90 day trial to familiarize myself with the software. I've installed the software and my plan now is to go through the Tutorials. I need to access AdventureWorks sample database. AdventureWorks did not download upon initial setup so I've downloaded/installed it into what appears to be the correct folder: c:ProgramFilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSamples. I cannot, however, seem to locate it within SQL Management Studio. As advised by the tutorial I've tried setting up a New Server Registration but I can't seem to locate AdventureWorksDB when I'm browsing for it under the Connect to Database:' option under the "Connection Properties" tab of New Server Registration.
I am familiar with database development as it relates to MS Access but I realize this is a whole new ball of wax. Any advise would be appreciated as it relates to this problem but also any information, i.e., very basic books on learning SQL Server would also be appreciated.
I am running SQL05 Dev with AdventureWorks on my desktop with local admin rights. I also have it configured to connect locally since it's a DEV version of SQL.
When I use either of the connection strings below I get the error message at the end of this post.
Thanks,
>Scott
Here are the strings:
Data source=(local); initial catalog=AdventureWorks or Data source=(SQLDEV05); initial catalog=AdventureWorks
Here is the error message:

In this stored procedure the quantity of the parent is not included. It should multiply down the tree. Can someone explain how this recursive function work?

I installed Sql Server 2005 Express Edition on an XP system this morning and tried to attach Adventureworks, but got an error message stating:The database 'Adventureworks' cannot be opend because it is version 631. This server supports version 612 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported.Since both Sql Server 2005 Express Edition, Management Studio, and the Adventureworks database have all be downloaded within the past three days, I am astonished that there is a compatibility issue. I have run Adventureworks on other systems without problems. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
I've downloaded from msdn and ran the samples. It installs something, but the database tree doesn't show up in sql studio. Is there a straight forward way to do something like import or restore a adventureworks database setup?
How can I install the AdventureWorks database on my box where C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSamples is missing? My SQL 2005 is currently without AdventureWorks OLT. I downloaded the Enterprise trial before uninstalling SQL2005Express. Please help. Thanks.
