Using VS2008 With SQL2005
Feb 4, 2008Hello
Know that VS2008 is out, when would be possible to create SSIS and BI projects for SQL2005 with it?
Thanks a lot.

SQL Compact 3.5 With VS2008
Feb 8, 2008
I have VS2008 (9.0.21022.8 RTM) and I cannot get SQL Compact 3.5 to work with it. Whenever I attempt to open a compact edition database, I get a message that "The operation cannot complete, click OK on the "Package Load Failure" dialog, reinstall SQL Server Compact 3.5 and then from the command line run devenv /resetskippkgs. I've tried that twice and no joy. I can connect and work just fine with SSMS 2005, but I cannot get it to work in VS2008.
Also when in VS2008 and I go to Server Explorer | Data Connections | Add Connection, I do not have Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 in the list.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Installing Alongside VS2008
Feb 25, 2008
I have VS2008 installed which has installed SQLEXPRESS. But it seems not all of it.
I want to be able to create tables and generally mess about with SQLEXPRESS without VS2008, is it safe to install Sql Express from this site that will hopefully? install all the management tools? Will this action compromise the VS2008 installation? Will I need to uninstall all the SQL Server stuff that is currently installed?
I am a complete noob when it comes to SQL Express having done all my SQL using Access.
Many thanks
Andy
SSCE 3.5 In VS2008 - Gold?
Nov 20, 2007I just installed VS2008 RTM and noticed that it really wants me to use 3.5 instead of 3.1. As I am doing most of my SSCE work through the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio (its query editor is still far superior to VS'), I found that I can still use 3.1 without much trouble (so long as I manually browse and add the 3.1 reference to my project).
That said, I'd like to use 3.5. My two questions are:
- Is the SSCE 3.5 version included in VS2008 final? I noticed the dlls are all over a month old. Can I redistribute these with my app?
- Will there be support in SQL 2005 or SQL 2008 for connecting to 3.5 databases? I know that a new SQL server 2008 CTP was released, but haven't seen mention of SSCE support. I'd really hate to lose the great query editor of the Management Studio when moving to 3.5.
SQLCE V3.5, VS2008 And Framework 2.0 -- Possible?
Feb 21, 2008I was initially interested in building my small retail app on Framework 3.5, until just now when I saw the download size. I won't make a single sale with that as a prerequisite.
I would, however, like to use VS2008 for this. If I target Framework 2.0, will I still be able to use SQLCE v3.5? The new SET IDENTITY INSERT functionality is an absolute requirement. (Note: I haven't installed VS2008 yet--I'm still investigating options.)
Thanks!
Why Is My VS2008 Project All Of A Sudden Using SQL CE 3.5?
Dec 1, 2007Hi. I recently upgrading my dev machine to Vista and VS 2008 simultaneously (clean install) and upgraded my VS2005 project, which was previously using SQL CE 3.1. Now when I compile and run it, I get a database exception telling me to upgrade my database to version 3.5!
First of all, I tried running the Repair() method to upgrade the database file, but then I get an exception telling me the password is incorrect (it most certainly is not, I didn't change a thing), so it won't even let me upgrade it.
Secondly, I even tried removing the reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe and manually adding the verison 3.1 reference back, but it still for some reason loads version 3.5 instead of version 3.1.
So! Please either tell me how I can properly upgrade my users' database file to version 3.5 and have it work with the latest libraries, or tell me how I can at least use the old libraries like I was under VS2005. The .dll files are all present in the project and I haven't changed them at all, they're being properly copied to the output directory and everything. I even checked the "Specific Version" attribute on the reference in the project, but no help.
Do I have to do something special to tell my application to load the local copy of the assembly as opposed to, say, one in the GAC?
Why Won't My SQL CE Database Open In VS2008 Project?
May 10, 2008
I've just upgraded my C# app from .NET 2.0 to 3.5 in VS 2008. Now my SQL Server CE database file won't open. When I run the app, it falls over on the connection.Open() method call, saying I have to upgrade the database to 3.5. It says if it was created in 3.0 or 3.1 to run the compact/repair utility. Well, I did that - a full compaction - but it didn't help at all. According to somewhere on MSDN, I should get an option to upgrade if I reconnect to the database in Server Explorer. Not so. It connects quite happily. If I try to connect to some earlier copies of the database, I do get this dialog, so I am assuming that it has already been upgraded. But then why won't the damn thing work?
I tried running the command-line upgrade.exe too, but being a bit clueless when it comes to the command line, I couldn't get it to work. Kept telling me the thing wouldn't run in Win32 mode, even though I was running it from the command prompt (sigh!).
Error Trying To Open RS Proj In VS2008
Feb 4, 2008we're getting an error that says "C:....rptproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.rptprroj) is not supported by this version of Visual Studio. To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project." when trying to open RS projects created in VS2005 with VS2008.
We concluded from the specs on VS2008 that the DB Version of VS2008 wouldnt be necessary for RS projects. Were we wrong? Is there some other add in that we need, perhaps BIDS? Is there some conversion step that we need to follow?

Adding Records To SQL CE With Standard VS2008 Without Getting Identity Value
Apr 28, 2008I'm using VS2008 (as shipped with SQL CE 3.5 as shipped).
I want to write a database app and started with a quite simple example:
One table "Master" has 2 columns: int MasterID, int Value (where the MasterID is the primary key and is an identity column.
For the GUI I used the typed dataset components (based on the namespace: System.Data.SqlServerCe) which were automatically generated by VS2008. I just dropped the table from the datasources view to a form and got a DataGridview, a Navigator and some DB components, quite fine so far.
When i run the app i can add new rows and the identity column is filled with -1, -2 ... as expected. When I hit the save button, the rows are saved to DB, but the values of the identity columns are not updated (the still have -1, -2..)
When I use the exact same example with SQL Express evrything works fine: the identity Column's values are updated automatically and have +1, +2, ...
Sure there is a statement "SELECT @@IDENTITY"... but I'm just using automated code so far, and i expect that code to work (automatically). Next problem: if i want to insert that "Select @@identity" stuff (I don't want to do that, but perhaps I have to?) where can I do this, I did not found a OnInsertedRow-Event?
This problem is part of a bigger one: I want to use Master/Detail, but inserting the Details fails because the inserting of the master rows didn't return the correct Indentity values, so the detail rows cannot be inserted (the foreign keys -1, -2... will raise an error).
thanks in advance, Bernd.
VS2008 RTM (trial) Won't Convert Report Project
Dec 12, 2007
When I try to convert a report project from 2005, it seems to convert fine but then the project closes because VS2008 doesn't support that project type (.rptproj ?). I see that there is a report project type under VB (and I assume C#) but there is no Business Intelligence project catagory. It's a new machine and I did install SQL Server 2005 before VS2008.
I'm in the process of moving a bunch of projects and websites from another machine and got hung up on this one. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Creating Database Diagrams With SQL Compact 3.5 And VS2008 RTM
Nov 30, 2007I'm using VS2008 RTM with a new SQL Compact 3.5 database and I read in VS2008 and SQL Compact 3.5 BOL that Database Diagrams are supported as well as Foreign Key creation from Server Explorer.
However, there doesn't seem to be support for this. Database Diagram commands are not displayed for this new database (but it is for my SQL Express database) as instructed by BOL.
Can anyone tell me if VS2008 fully supports SQL Compact 3.5 with database diagrams and visual tools to create relationships? If so, how can you create a database diagram in VS2008 for SQL Compact 3.5?

Which version of SQL Server Express 2005 did it install? Are we talking about SP2? If so, can I install without problem a more complete SP2 package using following links
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65109

Problem Installing BIDS Alongside With VS2003/VS2008
Apr 10, 2008I have a problem installing BIDS. On a XP machine with Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2008 installed, i tried to install SQL Server 2005 DE with SSIS and Client Tools. All works fine, but the devenv.exe where BIDS start menu shortcut points to doesnt exist.
In SQL Server installation dialog, i tried uninstalling BIDS (168 MB disk space will get free'd...) then again installing BIDS (...needs 168 MB disk space...), a lot of harddisk activity, but all the same.
I searched for devenv.exe on drive c:, only two hits: The VS2003 and VS2008 files.
I tried uninstalling VS2008, VS2003, .net3.5, .net3.0, .net2.0 and SS2005, then installing SS2005 with BIDS, again BIDS start menu shortcut points to nowhere. No devenv.exe on drive c:
Now i used system recovery to go back to the point before uninstalling all the stuff, so i can do all my work beside BIDS/SSIS, seaching for a solution...
I thought about installing VS2005 prof., but the license is lost because i upgraded to VS2008.
Note: The VS2008 is installed without installing the SQL Server coming along with VS2008.
Any help?

Reporting Services Template Not Showing Up After VS2008 Install
Apr 15, 2008I have previously installed SQL Server 2005 Client tools on my machine (XP Professional). When I launch Visual Studio 2005 and go to create a new project, I can see all of the Business Intelligence Templates (i.e. Report Server Project, Integration Services Project, etc).
I recently installed Visual Studio 2008. When I go to create a new project in VS2008, none of the Business Intelligence templates appear.
How would I go about getting these BI Templates to appear so that I can create new Report Services projects in VS2008?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Upgraded SQL2000 To SQL2005, SQL2005 VERY Slow
Dec 27, 2005I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?

VS2008: Installing SQL Express As Prerequisite Fails With Error 1706
Feb 12, 2008Using the new Visual Studio 2008 I created a setup project for a small program, and added SQL Express 2005 SP2 to the list of prerequisites.
I checked the box so the setup project will contain all necessary files in a sub directory of the setup project.
My setup starts nice (on windows vista) prompts me to install SQL Express, setup of SQL Express runs for some time, I get an UAC prompt, then setup fails with error 1706.
The last lines of the setup log file:

I really would like to install SQL Express as part of the setup project, can someone help me with this problem?

How To Install Management Studio Express 2005 After VS2008 On Server 2008?
May 31, 2008Ok so here's what happened:
Installed Server 2008 (64bit)
Installed VS2008 (+SQL 2005 Express, by default)
I've always installed SQL 2005 Dev (including the SQL Management Studio) before installing VS. Now I am trying to install just the management studio on this machine without success.
I tried installing the SQL workstation tools package from the SQL 2005 DVD but the installer detects the tools installed by SQL express (osql, etc.., but no management studio GUI) and the installer refuses to install anything else. I also tried downloading the separate installer for SQL management studio but it doesn't like something also: first thing the installer does is display this mesage:
"Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system For more information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."
Any way to do this without having to reinstall VS?
Thanks.
Integration Services :: Truncation Errors Using Excel Connection Manager - VS2008
Jun 17, 2015I am in the process of importing an Excel Spreadsheet using the natively connection manager in SSIS 2008. There is one column however that is causing me grief.
SSIS has natively chosen the problematic column to be a DT_WSTR(255). I have gone into the Excel connection manager's Advanced Editor and altered it to be a DT_WSTR(1000) (see image 1 attached).
I am still getting truncation issues though, as per image 2 attached. why this is?
VS2008 Solution With Multiple Projects. Best Practices For Connection Strings And SSCE Files?
Jan 15, 2008Hi everyone - I'm getting myself into a right muddle and am looking for advice.
How do people deal with connection string matters when taking a dataset defined in one assembly (and by default using the connection strings defined within that assembly in the settings files) and then using that assembly in an app (which also has a requirement to see the same physical database).
I'm not sure I've explained that terribly well but what I'm trying to avoid is duplicate copies of my database which so far seems to be the only way that I've managed to make stuff work. I'm not very experienced with SSCE data access (I'm a serices/sockets/ip person) and this may just be ignorance. Most of the examples seem to assume that the data is in the same place as the app whereas I'm trying to collate a whole series of functions into a helper assembly that I'd like to re-use for other things.
Ideally the dataset designer would provide an easy way of choosing from centralised connection strings - perhaps this is what the Dataset Project implies - but again the docs are mostly focused on SQL Server? Otherwise the best I've been able to do is make the connection properties public and try to update them that way or use a post-build action to copy the database from my datalayer project directory to that of my application |DataDirectory|
I suppose the question might be if you have a dataset containing multiple tableadapters that assumes one connection string, is there any easy way to keep such strings co-ordinated between projects without hardcoding them? With a server resource, the same non-specific connection string resolves to the same server (if that make sense) and this seems to be were I can't make the logical shift.
Does anyone have any thoughts and can they please point this SSCE noob in the right direction?
Cheers

Install Sql2005 32 Bit After Removing Sql2005 64 Bit
Sep 19, 2007
I am unable to install 32-bit SQL Server Integration Services on the server due to something that was left behind by the 64-bit version.
I've uninstalled SQL Server 2005 64-bit and when I try to install the 32-bit version of Integration Services, I get this error: "Failed to install and configure assemblies C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSTasksMicrosoft.SqlServer.MSMQTask.dll in the COM+ catalog.

I can't seem to figure out how to resolve this problem with the COM+ and I can't remember if Integration Services is required.
Can anybody please advise?

Couldn't Debug SQL By Step Into Stored Procedure On Server Explorer Of VS2008 (or VS2005) On Remote Machine
Oct 21, 2007Hi all,
I couldn't debug SQL Server by "Step into Stored Procedure" on Server Explorer of VS2008 (or VS2005) to SQL 2005 Developer on remote Windows Server 2003 machine, it allway issue exception "Unable to start T-SQL Debugging. Could not attach to SQL Server process on 'Server'. Click Help for more information"
1) The environment:
The Client: Windows XP SP2 (WORKGROUP)
Visual Studio 2008 (or VS2005)
The SQL Server Machine: Windows 2003 Server Sp1 (DOMAIN)
SQL Server 2005 Developer
2) User account and Permission login:
I create the same user account for both Client and Domain Server with the same password, i also add that user to "Administrators" group in both machine.
At the SQL Server on Server machine, i added that account to ServerSecurityLogin with 'sysadmin' role already
3) Connection and authentication:
I used "Windows Authentication" for my connection to SQL server, and i checked sure my account of the connection by SQL command
SELECT SYSTEM_USER,
IS_SRVROLEMEMBER ('sysadmin')
4) Firewall:
I checked firewall like MSDN helping (i also tried to test by turn off firewall in both machine)
5) Visual Studio Remote Debugger:
I read "How to: Enable SQL Server 2005 Debugging" on MSDN with comment "The SQL Server can run on the same machine as the application or on a remote machine. If you are debugging T-SQL code only, then no remote setup is required."
so i didn't config Visual Studio Remote Debugger any thing.
Note: If i "Step Into Store Procedure" at Server locally, it works okey, so on at my PC client locally. But if i move debugging from my client to my Server, it occur error "Unable to start T-SQL Debugging. Could not attach to SQL Server process on 'Server'. Click Help for more information"???
If i execute store procedure on Server Explore, it works okey!
Please help me to find out what problem is???
Thanks,

Linking SQL2005 On 64-bit To SQL2005 On 32-bit OS.
Nov 13, 2006I have some production boxes on Win 2000 32-bits OS and some production servers have been upgraded to Win2003 64-bit OS runing SQL Server 2005. There are also a number of Win2003 32-bit OS running SQL 2005.
The issue is that when linking the 64-bit production servers to the 32-bit boxes running SQL 2005 / Win 2003 OS, the linking seems to succeed, but I am unable to see a number of entries in sys.objects. Typically, these objects are User Stored Procedures.
Moreover, the linking seemed to have worked, but data extraction does not take place between the servers. However, there are no errors. The objects (user stored procs) exist on the 64-bit side, but linking does not actually happen.
Microsoft KB has addressed this in SQL 2000 case in this KB article, but has not suggested a solution for SQL 2005.
Any ideas? Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks.

SQL2005 CPU
Jun 5, 2008Dear all,
Is it possible to say sql server 2005 to use this much number of CPU..?
For Example I have 1 CPU License of SQL 2005, but I have 2 sockets in my physical box. One socket is having 2 cores. So I want to say the SQL server (2005) to use the 2 cpu's only( i.e Any of one socket)
Please advise me to do this.
I have one more question,
Is there any CPU limitation for SQL 2005 and 2008? If Yes how much cpu we can allot for the SQL 2005 and 2008
Thanks

NEW - SQL2005 SP2?
Apr 9, 2007On the MSDN site, I noticed new releases of SQL 2005, SP-2, dated on 4/5/2007. Are these an actual "update" to original release of SP-2?
