I installed Visual Studio over a year and a half ago when I became a Microsoft ISV. I have done all of my SQL Server work from within the Visual Studio framework and UI. I recently was asked to document how a customer's users would set up the customer's system using SQL Server 2005, but not having Visual Studio. I got the book Beginning SQL Server 2005 for Developers and immediately ran into a wall. Dewson (the author) talks about the SQL Server Management Studio. He says you get to it by Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Sql Server Management Studio. When I tried, I went Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools.
I have reinstalled my SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition and installed SQL Server 2005 Standard edition every way I can see, but I still can't get SSMS to come up. What am I doing wrong?
I am running XP Pro 2002 with SP 2. It is on a thinkpad with P4-M 1.8 ghz and 512 mb RAM. My Add/Remove programs says I have SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility, SQL Server Native Client, SQL Server Setup Support Files, and SQL Server VSS Writer installed.
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.
I have a New default instance of SQL2k5 installed and i am trying to setup access to the this via a vpn.
The VPN is setup and allows access to the server and can T/S to the server and perform everything all ok.
When trying to connect over the VPN with SSMS installed on my laptop I am able to connect using Windows authentication only by using Named Pipes. To accomplish this i perform a Net Use ..... and everything works fine.
However if i specify in the connection tab to use TCP/IP it fails with an unknown username or password. The Event Viewer on the server shows this and for what ever reason the username / pwd is that of my laptop and not of the account used in the VPN setup or the net use.
Also if i try to connect to the SQL Server over the VPN using VS 2005 it also gives the same issue.
I need to get this sorted so that TCP is able to be used.
I created a database on a remote server and trying to manage the database using a local SSMS. I am able to see the tables and other objects of the old databases residing on the same remote server, but not the new database. I have created the users similar to the other databases, have the exact same roles as the other databases.Not sure what I am missing here. Any suggestions??
Is there any way to use SQL Server Management Studio to manage a 7.0 database? I have a few old databases still in 7.0 and would really like to manage them through SMSS. Am I out of luck?
Just installed SQL Server 2005 Standard. When I attempt to connect using SSMS it just sits. No error comes up. The log seems to indicate everythings OK. SQLServer and SQLBrowser services are started. Here's the log:

I have SQL Server 2005 SP2 (developer edition) installed on my machine along with Visual C# 2005 express and Visual Web Developer 2005 express. I uninstalled the 2005 Visual tools and installed the 2008 versions which in turn installed .Net 3.5.
Now, when I right click on a table and select designer, I get the following error message.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio ------------------------------ Class does not support aggregation (or class object is remote) (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040110 (CLASS_E_NOAGGREGATION)) (Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlTools.VSIntegration) ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------
Similarly, when I right click on the indexes folder under a table so that I can create an index, I get the same message but with more details (details are at the end of this post due to size). My research into this problem indicates that it is a problem with the .Net frameworks and I need to reinstall .Net 2.0. It appears that I would have to uninstall 3.5 to accomplish this.
I imagine that I can uninstall the 2008 Visual tools but I really don't want to go backwards. Does anyone know how I can fix the SS2005 instance or am I just going to have to tolerate the errors until I can get a copy of SS 2008?

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?
I have several views in a database that I need to edit in SSMS 2008.
If I right click on a view, I can select "Design" and do the changes and save. Everything saves ok.
However, I cannot enter comments that way. I have tried View Script As -> ALTER To -> New Query Editor Window but this method creates a new view e.g. SQLQuery1 i.e. I can't save the origial view name.
Is there a way to alter views in code and save them back into the database under their original view name?
I have just installed sql server 2005 enterprise edition. I am totally new to sqlserver. I want to create a database in sql server and access that from my VB.net application. I couldn't find sql server management studio to create a database. can somebody help me with this...
I'm in need of a source control system that integrates with the Management Studio so that every time i want to modify a table, view, procedure etc I have to check it out from the object explorer and then check it back in again. I have used Visual Source Safe before but never with a database...is it fully integrated with SSMS? What can I do to make this work as smoothly as possible?
Is there any other IDE that handles this better than SSMS?

Anyone can tell me how I can take out the events which produce SSMS? (open query windows create three rows). I don't see anythinq filter for SSMS in filter events of profiler. I'm doing at trace and this is not confortable.
Hello,We have an XP workstation containing a very important MSDE-basedapplication. Its MSDE database isn't likely to change for quite awhile.The app contains an internal backup method (File, Backup, Backup) andan auxiliary app/script for shrinking the database and logs. I wouldlike to automate the backup and shrinking so end users don't have toremember to do them.The workstation has a static IP so it can go out to the Internet whennecessary.The workstation is presently not joined to the domain.1. Can I install SSMS Express *only* as a local app (without SQLExpress 2005) and thus use SSMS to set up nightly backups and periodicshrink database/logs jobs??2. We have SSMS running on SQL 2005 server box in the domain. If Ijoin the workstation only to the domain (local account logon is notchanged, still used), could I use SSMS from the SQL 2005 box?? Would Ineed a domain login on the XP box to make this work??Thank you, Tom
We use Windows Authentication to connect to SQL Server, is there any special permissions required to connect to Integration Services in SSMS?
Whenever I try to browse the servers available with Integration Services (from Object Browser), none of the servers gets listed. If I directly give server name and try to connect to Integeration Services I get the following error. But I'm able to connect to the database engine.

I am not sure this is the right forum for this question, but I would appreciate any pointers towards more appropriate forums.
I am attempting to replicate the data browsing performance of Microsoft's QA/SSMS in my own application. Even for very large datasets, one can typically scroll through a few hundred thousands rows without a problem. For queries this large, a generic DataGridView setup would take forever. Digging around using Process Explorer, I saw that QA/SSMS was loading the results into a (what I presume to be a memory-mapped) temporary file, which it used to cache the results for display.
Is there an example of how this is being done? I am assuming it is using unmanaged code, as I am not aware of any interfaces to memory mapped files in .NET. I don't have much experience here, so I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Is there a roadmap for allowing SSMS to connect to a PDW (MS SQL2012 Parallel Data Warehouse) with full functionality? Current support leaves much to be desired without installing third party tools.
Is there anyway to change the way that SSMS displays a bit field? Currently it displays it as True or False, but I much prefer 1 or 0, the way EM and QA displayed it.
