I am an novice to SQL field, seeking for tools or add-ing to enchance sql studio management, especially for code completion and real-time prompt of erroneous syntax.
More concretely, could you kindly list great third-party tools you have used, and feel worth evaluating.
I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
This is not the first install for me but i've noticed that after installing sql server standard 2005 and then i put on sp2 i cannot find my management studio. i don't think that is was ever installed although i did choose to install it. now when i try to install the tools i'm getting the error that they already exist. arghhhh... ? I've looke to uninstall them through the "add or remove programs" but thats a no-go. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
(just to add to this my sql database resides on another server so I copied the contents of the dvd over to the server)
I just installed Management Studio 2016 CP1. Unfortunately, the Database Diagrams branch does not show-up when I expand the individual databases in Object Explorer. Interestingly, they show-up in Management Studio 2008
I've accidentally done something to my install of Management Studio that is making query editing very difficult. I must have used a weird key combination to enable some feature that is now opening an Intellisense like window with suggested keywords or column names. I've tried every option I can find to disable this and even tried all the <ctrl> key combinations from A-Z to try to turn this off. How to have the editor revert to the "default" behavior as installed?
I've received several replies about disabling Intellisense or changing the Intellisense options and I've already done this to no effect. I've also not installed any 3rd party tools. I was editing queries when the problem began and I think I had hit a <ctrl> or <alt> key combination key that started this problem.
I can see a database file in the Data folder which is used by the "sqlservr.exe" process (detected this using Process Explorer) but I cannot a see a database in the list in SQL Server Management Studio.I am sysadmin on the server (also tried with the "sa" account).tried running "USING" statement with no luck.Is there a system view which tells the relationgship between data files and databases?
After opening Management Studio and doing some editing it is possible to copy/paste things in the query editor. After a while (working in another app) I come back to Management Studio and I can't copy/paste anything anymore. If I try to copy from the results window I get an error message that the clipboard operation did not succeed. If I try to copy from the query editor window it just doesn't copy. I can copy/paste in other apps without a problem. Â It is not the clipboard getting full but I can't rule out much else.
I have SQL Server set up on a server and I can't see the Agent in Management Studio.When I check the services it says it is there and started.I have the Enterprise edition installed.it doesn't show when I am on the server itself through Management Studio, however, on my local pc, when I connect to the server through Management Studio, I can see the Agent through there and I have jobs there that run successfully and everything.Its just when I log directly on the box and load up Management Studio.
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?
backup database PPLicense to disk = 'D:License.bak'
I have run this 5 times. If I know run this command:
restore headeronly from disk = 'D:License.bak'
I can see 5 entries returned this all looks good. In SQL Management studio I try and restore this database by selecting the file. The Restore Database dialog only shows the last backup set position i.e. position 5 and now the 4 before it. Why is this not showing the 4 previous backups?
I am using SQL Server 2012 SP 2 (Version 11.0.3460).
I downloaded and performed a full install of SQL Server Express 2008 Nov CTP. It was installed on a fresh installation of Windows Vista Enterprise x64.
During setup, I checked the 'Client Tools' box which has the description: "Includes management and development tools: SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Profiler, and Database Engine Tuning Advisor"
The installation ran fine with no errors. After install I looked for the Management Studio but couldnt find it anywhere. No SQL Server Profiler or Database Tuning Advisor either. The only tool that appears to have installed is the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
If I check my Start Menu, the only 2008 items that exist are Microsoft SQL Server 2008 >
Configuration Tools >
SQL Server Configuration Manager SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting SQL Server Installation Center

Hopefully a simple question: Is it possible to use Maintenance Plans created on SQL Server Management Studio (installed as part of an instance of SQL Server 2005 Standard Ed.) to back up databases running on an instance of SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced Services? I don't need directions, just whether or not it is permitted.
I've been able to create the plans including establishing connections to from SSMS to the the SQL Express instance, but they keep erroring out. I just need to know if this is actually permitted since Maintenance Plans are not available on Management Studio Express Edition.
The installation SQL 2008 R2 Management Tools on a Windows 7 workstation fails with the error, The specified account already exists.
Final result:Â SQL Server installation failed. To continue, investigate the reason for the failure, correct the problem, uninstall SQL Server, and then rerun SQL Server Setup.

I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason
I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
I have created a database under management studio and i want it to be connected in visual studio but it failed the error msgs said that the database can't be connected coz the database with same name exits but that is not true
How do i get the database that i am using in visual studio into my SQL server management studio? i need to create some scripts to create stored procedures on a live server.
In Microsoft.COM website do we have a comparision between Management Studio and Management Studio express in term of functions and features of the tool ? (Not SQL Server and SQL Server Express !)
I cannot install the management tools and other components of sql server 2005 Developer, it always says “The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine�.By the way, I have installed sql2005 express with vs2008, but I do not intall the management studio express .
I manage 100+ databases spread across the country. When it comes to perform an update or offsite backup, it is a nightmare. I have to repeat the same code and the same process for 100+ times.
Is there any tools other than MS Enterprise manager we can use to perform this type of maintenance works in a batch manner? For example, we place a update sql file within the program, and the program does the rest (of course, we predefine the login credential for each databases)
I'm looking into various technologies that can make our lives easier. I have a number of processes to define, including:
Auto rollback scripting Deployment to different environments (dev, test, production)Generation of deployment scripts from source control Tracking deployments (generation of reports detailing exactly what occurred in a deployment)
Rather than try to custom the processes, I've decided to use a technology that already does the above and more.
Can anyone recommend any tools?
I've looked briefly at SQL Farm Combine which looks good. Anyone using this?
Hi, I installed sql 2005 dev for testing sharepoint, and the management studio was not installed. Now, i am afraid to try to install it because i am thinking it may uninstall or re-install all sql components (and probably erase existing instances and sharepoint data may be lost. I have installed on an other pc the client tools, but i cannot connect to that instance, and i cannot attach the user databases (i get the 5123 error)
Can anyone help me how i can install management services without messing up the sharepoint instance?
Hi Team, Is there any management tools in SQL SERVER 2005? I just installed my standard edition and also developer version in different computer, but seems that both versions doesn't support management tools such as query analyzer. Can anyone explain to me... Thanks.
>> I was able to solve this. Read the bottom of the post.
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and none of the management tools seem to be there. At least they do not show up in Start>>All Programs>>Microsoft SQL Server 2005. All that shows up is the Configuration Tools menu item.
I have been searching through the forum and I have found dozens of other threads about this, but none that seem to actually answer the question or give a solution. Some say to delete everything and start over, others say to review Visual Studio 2005 (which takes something like 4 hours to install, and then you still have to install all of the 3rd party tools, so I don't want to do that unless I just have to), and a few others say to uninstall SQL Server Express and then reinstall SQL Server. However, I believe that I selected to install them both at the same time.
Anyway, I just looking for some ideas here to get all of this installed. There seems to be some problem here that a lot of people are having to deal with.
Are the Managment Tools disabled by default? It seems that in 2005 a lot of the services are turned off by default so I'm wondering if I have to do something to turn on the Management Tools.
Best regards,
Greg Rothlander
I just uninstalled and reinstalled per some threads on the forum and it all showed up. Apperently if anyone runs into this, just uninstall everything that has to do with Microsoft SQL Server and reinstall.
I have been trying for 2 days now to get the SQL Server management tools installed on client machines. I'm starting to think it is not possible to do that the way we used to be able to with previous versions of SQL Server. I have installed 3rd party open source software on my own machine so that I can query the database without logging onto the server directly and would like for my co-workers to be able to do the same. As I mentioned we tried the SQL Server Management studio and all we get is a message saying to uninstall all the beta and Visual Studio *** on our machines. We stripped one machine all the way down to the OS and still kept getting that message so I'm guessing it is some new Windows Vista issue that makes SQL Server 2005 client tools completely incompatible with XP. However, we are not going to bow to Microsoft's evil ways and upgrade to their new OS just to use the SQL Server Studio. If need be I will write my own software to workaround this problem. In the meantime, can anyone recommend some good 3rd party tools that will allow us to query the SQL Server 2005 database on a server and preferably one that does not require all other software be removed first?
Have audit requirements that require that all schema changes to certain database are tracked and monitored. Any tools that can monitor these changes and log them for audit review?
I've got the following installed on my local machine (XP Pro, sp 4, SQL 2000 tools) Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.1399.00 Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.1399.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 5.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42 Operating System 5.1.2600
It keeps bomging and giving errors.
I can't find a specific service pack for the tools...maybe there isn't one? Do I need to install the regular sp2 server service pack?
I have VS2008 installed. Now, I need to install the SQL server Management Tools, because of tasks I have on SQL server instances which are installed on other servers. I guess a lot of developers are in such a situation. You develop on your own machine, but deploy the final database on a production machine.And you happen to be the manager of those databases too (well, I am)
Now, it seems impossible to install the neccesary tools as I get messages; The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on details (Workstation components, Books Online and development tools 9.2.3042.00)
Then on the Details, it says the following,
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Build version check:
Your upgrade is blocked because the existing component is a later version than the version you are trying to upgrade to. To modify an existing SQL Server component, go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, select the component you would like to modify, and then click Change/Remove.
Now, I have no clue of what can be safely removed to allow the installation of the Management Tools. I am afraid that I will end up with a non-working SQL server Express installation which is required for VS2008
What should I do to get these Managment Tools installed on my develop machine?
