I'm currently taking a 1 year certification course for database design at the local college. My question is..Do you need a BS degree to obtain an entry level position or would certification program be enough for entry level?
This program covers VB and VB advanced, Intro to Oracel/SQL and advanced, administering a SQL server, advanced Access, networking, and a host of others.
hi, have a nice day to all , can some expert here point out what are the do and don't when we writing query ? ie:should we create many view as handler to get data? when should we use store procedure and trigger ? and so on
i seeking the way to improve my sql skill, can someone suggest some reference site or material or book as well ?
thank you very much for helping
Guys ..Im a very very confused Jr DBA/Dev here !
I need to know what exactly other languages [C#/VB.net/ADO/XML/ASP.net..etc] that I should learn in order for me to be able to excel in SQL Development.
I started getting my hands dirty with some SSIS / SSRS & SSAS, but inorder for me to handle situations such as [Find if file exist in ftp before loading, Checking a certain row of a data file before processing/ Zipping and Unzipping data files and etc...] What should I need to know well in order for me to add more value to my skills?
I would like to learn 1 language and master it pretty well.What are your suggestions?
And what is this CLR that is being talked about ?Does it use other language besides SQL?
Do guide this lost JR .......
given below is the sql server 2005 script.what is the oracle equivalent of this.
CREATE TABLE [omx].[UserAuthorization](
[MemberAuthorizationRecordIdentifier] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_UserAuthorization] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[MemberAuthorizationRecordIdentifier] ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

Hi,
Can some participants in this forum provide ideas on suggested training for somebody with a basic knowledge of SQL (started working in this field 6 months ago and still feel like a newbie beginner).
I assume I should focus on getting T-SQL nailed down before delving into the SSIS piece of SQL Server 2005?
Maybe there are a few companies that seem to give good practical knowledge and are located in the greater Los Angeles metro area?
Is it better to get certified through a 1 week or 2 week course via companies like Trainingcamp - does that really give you the practical skills to jump up several levels at one does at work?
Hope I can get some suggestions or direction on where I could best post this question for answers.

Patrick
Hello all. I'm giving serious thought on changing gears withing the IT world. For several years I have been a software developer who has been fortunate enough to have been involved in the needed databases. From just sketching out tables for the DBA to doing the database from the ground up and maintaining it during production. Along the way I've known that I didn't do as quality of a job as a knowledgeable DBA would do but given the situations I made do just fine.
I am considering switching gears to the database side only, coding as secondary. Since I am basically familier with most aspects of SQL Server in a general way, I am looking to take that knowledge and become a "Professional". What I am looking for is a few books to help out. Maybe a "Become a DBA for Software Developers" or something. I know that mining these and other forums are very valuble but I'd like some other training materials as well.
Have I been clear enough on what I am looking for? I don't quite feel like I have.
Basically, what would you recommend for a good software developer who is looking on switching to becoming a good database person?
I'd like to stay in SQL Server for now, since that is what they use here and it would give me an opportunity to practice.
Also, do you see value in the studying process for certifications in this area?
I can't tell if the SQL Developer install upgraded the service, but left the SqlExpress version information, or if I'm still really only using SqlExpress.
Also, my intended target is SQL Enterprise, so if I am using SQL Express am I asking for trouble when I go to move the database over? Are the database formats compatible?
I've poked around trying to search for this answer for a while and haven't turned anything up. Maybe I'm searching on the wrong terms...
Thanks,
Geoff
There are conflicting postings everywhere about this. I built a small site using VWD and SQL Server Express, but need to convert to Sql Server 2005 Developer because the DB will exceed 4Gb. Tried to install and could not connect or use from VWD. Tried to uninstall, got into large mess with the byzantine uninstall process, and have now started with a clean machine.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer first, then installed VWD Express 2008 without installing SQL Server Express. VWD won't let me connect to an existing database, won't let me add a new database and doesn't even show the Database Tools option under the Tools menu.
Is there someone with specific knowledge that can provide any enlightenment? Would be much appreciated.
Can someone here confirm or deny that Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition doesn't work with SQL Server Developer Edition 2005?
I
was about to order SQL Server Developer Edition 2005 on Amazon, to use
with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, when I read a user comment that
the two are incompatible with each other. Does anyone know for sure if
that is true?
What I'm wanting to do is develop an ASP.NET web
application on a web host using a SQL Server database. I use VS2003 and SQL
Server Enterprise 2000 at work, but I'd like to learn the 2005 editions
for this side project. I don't own any of the developer tools/IDEs
personally, so I'm trying to find the most affordable way to do this
for my home business.
Thanks for any advice,
Keith
Hi, all -
I'm trying to register a developer's 2000 pc from my 2005 pc.
i'm not sure this is even something possible from Dev Edition to Dev Edition- I can register a 2000 server just fine.
I can ping him. Both our systems have remote access 'on'. His server is (local), i've tried connecting to it by just entering his machine name and by using just the ip address. The error I get is "timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Am I just not registering this properly? I entered just the ip address in the 'server' box. I am connecting as sa with the pw he gave me. When i connect to my server, I use the ip addressinstance. However, I am not sure what to use for the instance when all I see when I look at his machine is (local).
I haven't needed to do this before.
Suggestions?
I tried to install this on the same box and I'm not sure how to reply to setup questions since I want to keep my SQL Server 2000 intact.

I've already posted this question before but this error never been resolved.
My DTS designer is totally screwed.
When trying to create new local package getting error message "Could not create Component Categories Manager".
I can't even use DTS to copy data in using DTS wizard.
Somebody recommended to reinstall SQL Server which I did but it didn't solve my problem.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help

Does any one know of a way that a group of my developers can use this without giving them access to the rest of Enterprise manager?
Want to give them access to write queries and they are all Access developers so that I have to do as little training as possible then letting them have Query designer would keep them in their nice little world without hassing me to much.
Cheers for any help.
When using Enterprise Mgr on a workstation connected to a MSSQL Server, if I attempt to start a new DTS Package, I get the following msg:
Title: DTS Designer Error
Text : Could not create Component Categories Manager
I get the same msg when trying to edit an existing package. I tried to re-register Dtspkg.dll,Dtsui.dll, and dtsffile.dll. All were successful but Dtspkg.dll, which failed. Does anyone know what causes this, and what else I can try?
When i'm trying to open the table say return all rows in Enterprize manger it gives me an error saying
Query Designer encountered a query error
Unspecified Error.
I could not figure out what's goin on...
I appriciate if any one can help me out solving with this problem.
or what need to be done ?
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Have anyone tried installing the DTS Designer 2000 Components in 64 Bit Environment

In SQL 2000 the query designer could be opened and the query type changed to create an INSERT.
Is this feature still available in SQL 2005?
If so, how do I open the query designer and change query types?
Thanks

Does anyone know if Microsoft provides a download of DTS Designer that I can use with SQL Server 2005 Express?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI use the Report Wizard to generate reports. Within the "Design the Query" screen, I try the query statement as :

I have dragged 3 SqlDataSource Controls to the WebDesigner and none are appearing graphically in the Designer View, but they are in the Source View. How can I get the control to appear in the designer.

Hello!
Yesterday my DTS designer was fine and today suddenly when I open the package in designer there is nothing there.
I tried to create new package and it gave me an error when I was trying to save it "It is insufficient disk space to complete operation".
What does this mean?
Thanks

I am testing SQL Server 2000 and after having installed it on a machine with SQL 7 already on it everything went OK.
However, if I try to create a DTS package (or open and existing one) on either of my SQL Server instances I get a "DTS Designer Error". After which, the DTS package window opens but I can't see any of the tasks in the tool bar. I can't select any tasks from the Task option in the menu bar either.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello all
I've got SQL Server 7.0 SP1 installed (in a NT4 SP6 environment).
Recently, it came up with error whenever I try to open a table or a view (return all rows) inside the Enterprise Manager. The descriptive (NOT!) error message is like this:
"The query cannot be executed because some files are either missing or not registered", and on pressing "help",
the help files report
"Query Designer cannot locate your query files and cannot run your query"
I have tried re-booting the machine and upgrading mmc.exe to version 1.2 (from 1.1), but both in vain.
Can anyone shed some lights please?

Checked out BOL on this issue, but not enough info received to troubleshoot. Hoping someone out there has some input.
This issue is only happening on the server side not the client. Also, it suddenly appeared on three different machines.
Query Designer:
"An unexpected error happened during this operation" [Query} - Query Designer encountered a Query error: Unspecified error.
The how: In a database, go to tables and select a table known to have data right click on mouse and select Open Table, return all rows. This is when the error appears.
BOL states the the file may be corrupt or from a non-supported version of SQL Server EM. Nothing was installed on these servers and we're still on SP2. This error just all of a sudden appeared and spread to 3 different machines...
Another issue is the Return to Top function is disabled. This function provides the maximum number of rows to fetch.
Any assistance would be appreciated! Thanks.
When I try to Return All Records in a table, I receive the error "Query Designer encountered a query error: unspecified error." I can successfully view the design of the table just not the records themselves. This is happening in all of my tables in all dbases.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.
I have never seen this error before... When I click on DTS to either open an existing package or create a new one I get the following errors: Error in the DLL, DTS Design Error. When I try to create a new DTS it gives me the errors but still opens but I'm missing all of the connection objects except for MS data link and other connection. I had no problems designing and executing the packages from a development box. I'm not even refering to the typical scheduling problems that exist when SQL Agent is configured incorrectly!
Hi. I am not sure why, but i can't change any of the values in my Table Designer. I want to change my primary key's "IsIdentity" value to "yes" and the Identity Increment to "1" but everything is greyed out and nothing is editable. Please help! I am not in debug/run mode when i am editing these values. I have a feeling that I am going to feel stupid when somebody points out what i am (not) doing. So, any takers?

Hi
According to the RDL spec (nov 2005), RDL Designers are supposed to preserved custom elements. In my initial test Visual Studio 2005 overwrites/removes any custom elements. I tried to find some support/samples of this but was unsuccessful.
Here is what I added
<Report xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition" xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner" xmlns:myNameSpace="http://myNameSpace.com/myNameSpace">
<CustomProperties name="Custom">
<myNameSpace:test>test</myNameSpace:test>
</CustomProperties>
..
Anybody have some advice about this.
Thanks Tobias
