What Is A Good Tool For Modeling A SQL Server 2005 Database?
Nov 20, 2006
Hello,
I need a tool that will let me model a SQL Server 2005 database and then generate the tables, constraints, etc. from the model. I've never used a modeling tool so my knowledge is quite limited. I don't need to model or reverse engineer an application - my sole concern is on the SQL Server database side. I'm not concerned if the tool integrates with Visual Studio. And, of course, price is one consideration.
Are there any good tools that I should look at?
Thanks,
BCB

I need a recommendation on a data modeling tool that can be used with a data warehouse. My warehouse is running SQL 2012.
Here is my challenge: Most of the tables in the warehouse do not have primary keys and none of the tables have foreign keys on them. However, there are indexes and unique keys/indexes on the tables. I am looking for a tool that I can create virtual relationships on how the data is related, so it is visually easier for the ETL developers to write the code.
I have looked at both ER/Studio 11 and ERwin 9.6. Neither of them do it exactly the way I want it too. However, ER/Studio is pretty close.

I currently install SQL server 2005 CTP and I couldn't find the diagramming tool which used to view the conceptual model of the database structure, relationships and entities visually. This diagramming tool feature is available in SQL server 2000, however I couldn't find in SQL server 2005. Anyone would like to give me some recommendations or show me where this feature is hidden?

Hi,
I have Cognos 8 as BI-tool installed on a Windows 2003 Server, both 32 bit. We are thinking of using a 64 bit SQL Server 2005 with 64 bit Windows 2003 Server as database server for a new data warehouse.
Can I use the 32 bit SQL Native Client on the Cognos server for connecting to the 64 bit database server? If not, how should I set this up?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Albert de Ruiter.

Hello,I am trying to connect to a DB, which is hosted on an SQL Server 2005 by a provider, using ASP.NET Configuration Tool. The result is the following error when I click on the Security Tab:---There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) ---The hosting provider checked that my connection string is correct. They do not know why I get the error, though. Here is a relevant snippet from my web.config:<connectionStrings> <remove name="LocalSqlServer" /> <add name="LocalSqlServer"connectionString="Data Source=ABC;Integrated Security=false;Initial Catalog=ABC;User ID=ABC;Password=ABC"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></connectionStrings>ABC is a mock :)Could anyone pls help? It is much appreciated.

Hi, I'm looking for a tool to compare 2 sql server database and makes a script of the differences (like an added table or record). We want to use it to generate a script which we can send to our customers to update their database if a change has been made. Example: We send our customers database A. After half a a year they request some changes to be made to the application that affects the database, say a table has to be added. We want the tool to automatically detect the difference between database A when it was first released and after the changes has been made and generate a script. Anyone suggestions? T.I.A., ratjetoes.

Hi guys,
I am using DLinq with SQL Server Express 2005 and I need to install some kind of user interface which shows me a trace of the SQL statements sent. I would like to see them in real time (I won't like to inspect a log after :-).
I remember that there was something similar in SQL Server 2000 full edition, but I requiere the same functionality in the Express version now.
Could you tell me if there is some tool to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Erich.

I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, I can login to it just fine using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I ran the aspnet_regsql and it created the aspnetdb database. But when I try to test the AspNetMembershipProvider or go to the Security tab in the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool it does not work. I have tried messing with the connectionString of the LocalSqlServer in the machine.config, but to no avail. My SQL Server is installed on the Default Instance.

I have a sharepoint on a windows internal database server (some version of sql express 2005). When I run the app, it says that I need SQL server reporting services 2005. I dont think that this component is bundled with "windows internal database server". Is there anyway I can download this component or otherwise make this work?
Seems a bit silly that they would make a tool requiring a component that doesnt need to be installed for sharepoint to run.

Hey I was wondering if you
all could help me with my database. I am very noobish as databasing and I am
not sure what I have is good or bad. This is very long since I tell you basically
what my whole site does/will do. This is in hopes that it will give you a
better understanding of how many database will work.
Japanese WebSite
Purpose of the site:
This sites intention is to help people learn the 2 basic
Japanese character sets Hiragana and Katakana.
Hiragana is usually used for Japanese words and contains 46 basic characters,
plus a set of special characters. Katakana is usually used for foreign words
and also contains 46 basic characters plus a special set of characters.
Hiragana and Katakana are written differently when they are written with Japanese
characters. However if you right them in romaji (this is basically writing words
as if you where writing English and does not involve using characters. This is
used for foreigners while they are learning how to write the Japanese
characters).
Hiragana and Katakana are pronounced exactly the same.
This site will use a quiz style format. The user will first choose from the set
of Hiragana characters then the Katakana characters. Once chosen the website
will randomly choose a character and display the Japanese symbol of it. The user will then write the romaji
representation in the text box provided.
It will be then checked
and if the user is right they will get a new symbol. If they are wrong they
will have try again. The purpose for
this is for the user to get use to see how the character looks like but at the
same time writing in romaji what will be easier for them. This should make it
easier for them the next time they see the character to know how to say it.
Version 1
The site will go through many versions. This version I am
focusing on using C#,asp and ms sql. Later on in future versions ajax and
javascrip will be introduced and parts will be changed. Version 1 also uses CSS
and html.
Version 1 will contain these features.
1. A
practice section. A user will go through a wizard like setup that will first
let them choose from the basic 46 Hiragana characters (the other special
characters will be added later). They will then go to the next setup and choose
from the 46 basic Katanana characters. After they go to another section that
asks them how many repetitions they want to go through. If the user is a member(free membership) they
will have the option to save their settings that will be stored and later
available on the front page called quick links. The next page of the wizard is
actually going through the quiz. Once they are done they will see a summary of
how many they got right,wrong and how many they needed assistance on. At this
point they will be able to view a chart to see their progress(current chart
showing there last attempt, a week one
and a month one). These charts will be either made using c# or ms sql(I saw a
something that says you can make something like that but have not confirmed
it). I may do both ways for a learning experience.
2. A Registration form, login and logout.
3. Quick
link. Quick link will be for registered members so they don’t have to go
through the wizard every time to make their practice quiz up. A user will go
through the wizard once and choose what they want and save it. Quick link will be on all the pages in the
form of mostly likely a grid view. A user will be able to store 3-5 different quiz’s
(in the future maybe more). A user can then click on the quick link and it will
just take them to the quiz. The user will also will be able to update their
quiz through the grid view. This will take them to the start of the wizard and
they can go through it again and then just save over it. They will also be able
to delete there quick links through the grid view.
Currently done
Half of step 1 has been completed. Currently a user can
go through the wizard and select what they want and choose how many repetitions
and go through the quiz. However the summary and charts are not done.
Future versions.
Design will be a major part of it since I have not
focused on this at all. Also since I wanted to experiment with dynamic controls
I made all the checkboxes for the selections dynamically. This caused a problem
that a user must hit a save button since the controls have to get recreated and
updated.
I think normally this might not have been a problem but
since I since I am using a multiview(to create a effect that the wizard is all
on the same page and not the whole page has to be reloaded) it caused some
problems(I can’t really remember since it was a couple months ago when I
started but had to stop due to the amount of school work). This is why I want
to go back later and make them with ajax. This also makes another learning
experience.
Where I am at now.
When I started this I really did not think much of my
database mainly because I am not good at data basing and don’t really like it that
much. I have had a course in data basing (was with oracle though)that was part
of my program. At the time I did not understand very much since I found the
teacher going too fast and he started at chapter 8….. Also when you got 7 other
courses with it it’s hard to learn lots.
I have gone through some tutorials and stuff. I am not
very keen on reading a database book since I just don’t have the time since I
want to also read a book on c#, javascript, ajax and so forth. Also I don’t
know how much I will retain/learn from a book. With some of the stuff I just
find its better to try to something where you will be interested in and then
when needed read chapters of a book or ask questions. This is what I done for my c# stuff like I
had a c# with asp course and 2 months after the courses I started this site and
I had to ask myself what the heck did I learn in that course since it seemed I
knew nothing(and I was close to top in my class). With pounding it out and
reading I was able to accomplish what I needed. Like I still want to read a
book on C# but for now it’s just not going to happen same with Data basing.
All the pervious information was so you can understand
what my website is trying to do so you can better evaluate my database design
and answer my questions.
First Design of my
database.
This is when I just made it up on the spot and did not do
any database design or anything.
Question 1: I
forgot how to limit select query results. Like If I just want to show 10 query
results how do I do this?
I have currently 2 tables How one called Hiragana and the
other Called Katakana
HiraganaID = PK
HiraganaID HiraganaCharacter HiraganaImage
----------- -----------------
--------------------------------------------------
1 a Images/hiragana/a-o/a.jpg
2 i Images/hiragana/a-o/i.jpg
3 u Images/hiragana/a-o/u.jpg
4 e Images/hiragana/a-o/e.jpg
5 o Images/hiragana/a-o/o.jpg
6 ka Images/hiragana/ka-ko/ka.jpg
Katakana
KataKanaID = PK
KatakanaID KatakanaCharacter KatakanaImage
-----------
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
1 chk_Kata_a
Images/katakana/a-o/a.jpg
2 chk_Kata_i
Images/katakana/a-o/i.jpg
3 chk_Kata_u Images/katakana/a-o/u.jpg
4 chk_Kata_e
Images/katakana/a-o/e.jpg
5
chk_Kata_o
Images/katakana/a-o/o.jpg
I quickly found that this design was very bad since I was
unable to add new rows very easily. Each character set has each of its characters
in rows of 5. Some rows however have only 3 romaji characters so what they do
is leave the other cells blank representing that they don’t exist. I wanted to
do this too so I figured the easier way would be to have just null rows of
data. So say for “ya,yu,yo� it would be like this “ya,null,yu,null,o�. That’s
how it would appear in the database so when my c# would read it in it would not
have to account for rows that had less than 5 characters since it would have
already the nulls for it.
You can check a chart out here: http://www.alpha.ac.jp/japanese/img/moji.gif
So with this poor design it would result me in basically
rewriting the database.
I have thought of 2 possible ways to. I am not sure if
either way is good but I will try to explain my reasoning as much as I can.
Possible Way 1
In this approach I have 5 tables.
Hiragana
This table stores all the information about Hiragana
Characters
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Hiragana](
[HiraganaID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[HiraganaCharacter] [varchar](5) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[HiraganaImage] [varchar](50) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[SortOrder] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Hiragana] PRIMARY
KEY CLUSTERED
Katakana
This table stores all the information about Katakana
Characters
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Katakana](
[KatakanaID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[KatakanaCharacter] [varchar](50) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[KatakanaImage] [varchar](50) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[SortOrder] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Katakana] PRIMARY
KEY CLUSTERED
Quick Links
This table will store the users quick link information.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[QuickLinks](
[QuickLinkName] [varchar](50) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[UserID] [int] NOT NULL,
[SavedCharacters] [varchar](200) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[SavedImagePaths] [varchar](200) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Users
This will store login information.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Users](
[UserID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[UserName] [varchar](30) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[EmailAddress] [varchar](50) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[Password] [varchar](50) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[DateTimeStamp] [smalldatetime] NOT
NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Users] PRIMARY
KEY CLUSTERED
Charts
This will store all information that will be used for
charts.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Charts](
[PracticeNum] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[UserID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Correct] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL,
[Wrong] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL,
[AssitanceNeeded] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL,
[TimeDateStamp] [smalldatetime] NOT
NULL,
CONSTRAINT
[PK_Charts] PRIMARY KEY
CLUSTERED
(
Relationships
Users and QucikLinks have a PK to FK relationship this is
because quicklinks is dependent on the user having a user account. It also away
to identify which QuickLinks will belong to who.
Question 2: Currently I don’t have a primary Key for this
table what would be a good primary key for this table?
QuickLinks also does not have any relationship to either
to HiraganaCharacters or Katakana Characters. This is because I did not feel it
was necessary to grab the information from here. I simply could just grab it
from the array that holds this information from my c# code.
Question 3: How can I make this table for all users? Like
Say they choose 5 characters and save it as QuickLink1(as the
QuickLinkName). Should each of these 5
characters gets its own line or should it all be saved in one row? Or should I
even have another table to hold this data?
Option 1
QuickLinkName UserID
SavedCharacters SavedImagePaths
---------------- ----------- ------------------- --------------------------
QuickLink1 1 a image/a.jpg
QuickLink1 1 i image/i.jpg
QuickLink1 1 u image/u.jpg
QuickLink1 1 e image/e.jpg
QuickLink1 1 o image/o.jpg
QuickLink1 2 a image/a.jpg
QuickLink1 2 ya image/ya.jpg
QuickLink1 2 ki image/ki.jpg
QuickLink1 2 yo image/yo.jpg
QuickLink1 2 n image/n.jpg
Option 2
QuickLinkName UserID
SavedCharacters SavedImagePaths
---------------- ----------- ------------------- --------------------------
QuickLink1 1 a,i,u,e,o image/a.jpg, image/i.jpg,
image/u.jpg, image/e.jpg,
image/o.jpg,
QuickLink2 2 a,ya,ki,yo,n image/a.jpg,
image/ya.jpg,
image/ki.jpg, image/yo.jpg,
image/n.jpg,
Charts table also has a Relationship with Users
The thinking for this one is that Charts will use the
UserID to tell who this data belongs too. It will store the number of correct
answers, wrong answers and AssitanceNeed. This table will also hold a timeDateStamp.
The reason for this is because I want to have a chart that displays the last
Quiz they did and also the stats of a week’s worth of quizzes, and month’s
worth of quiz’s. With a timeDateStamp I should be able to add up all those columns
and then display them for whatever period I choose.
Second Possible
Way.
Characters
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Chracters](
[CharacterID] [int] NOT NULL,
[CharacterName] [varchar](5) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[CharacterPath] [varchar](50) COLLATE
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[SortOrder] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Chracters] PRIMARY
KEY CLUSTERED
This way uses 4 charts instead of 5. The main difference
is that the Hiragana Charts and Katakana Charts have been merged into one
table.
This way has another relationship between Characters and
Quick Links. This will store the Character
ID instead of the actual Characters and Path through the use of C# code. When a
user selects a box it will make a note of the CharacterID. When it is time for
the user to use the QuickLink it will join the tables together and filter out
the CharacterIDs. Giving me the CharacterName and Path.
The problem with this way is that well the code I written
will need to be changed since currently it grabs stuff from 2 tables into one.
I don’t know if this would save anytime over the first way either.
I hope these are sort of close to an alright design since
I did try to think about how my website would interact with the database.
Sorry for it being so long.
Summary of Questions
Question 1: I
forgot how to limit select query results. Like If I just want to show 10 query
results how do I do this?
Question 2: Currently I don’t have a primary Key for this
table what would be a good primary key for this table?
Question 3: How can I make this table for all users? Like
Say they choose 5 characters and save it as QuickLink1(as the
QuickLinkName). Should each of these 5
characters gets its own line or should it all be saved in one row? Or should I
even have another table to hold this data?

After found out the `transfer object` command in MS SQL EM didn`t work well
in my databases, I started code by myself to generate the `Create xxx` statements to copy objects across databases (structure only) using SQL.
I`ve coded out most of them, logins, defaults, UDT, tables, stored procedures,
but then I started to have problems with primary keys and foreign key const.
Has anyone tried to do the same thing before or is there some SQL scripts created to handle this already? Please advise me.
I am thinking to use SQL-DMO with VBscript now. But I still prefer a good
SQL script (old thought, the DB-Lib based `isql` is more reliable than the
SQL-OLE).
Thanks for any suggestion.

I have inherited some responsibilities for which I'm not really qualified, so I'll push on through and maybe not totally fall down.
Assume 10 50GB databases, each in a single MDF file. All these MDF files reside on the C drive (the only drive on the system), running SQL 2005 in a 32-bit Windows 2003 or later, 8GB RAM.
The C drive is 6 physical disks in RAID 5, say about 1.0 TB or so. We have 4 dual-core processors on the box.
We have limited simultaneous users, initally about 8 users doing very heavy write on all tables in any one database. Later, we have about 15 users connecting via Web interface, and doing very heavy read and light writing. Each of the 10 or so database has this lifecycle: Heavy write for about 2 weeks (load data) then heavy read for about 1 month (research and search data), then nothing ever again (db is taken offline).
Of course, this is not enough information to go on, but let's just go on it anyway.
My TempDB, Log (simple recovery), Index etc is all on the same RAID 5 drive (C).
I have two basic questions I'd love to hear feedback on:
1. Is there any real advantage to creating 8 Data files for my database (one per processor core)?
2. Given that the hardware people here REALLY don't want to change anything, what should I fight for first:
a. Separate drive for LOG files?
b. Separate drive for TempDB?
c. Something else
Thanks in advance.

I am having a problem when modeling a Foreign Key in an "Operations" table. This table holds all information on customers ´s applications and withdrawals.
Here is the structure:
CustomerID int, SourceID int, Value decimal (16,2), OperationDate datetime
Well the problem is that SourceID sometimes might be NULL depending on how the record was inserted. So its kind of cumbersome to define it as an FK, since it can be null...To get things worse, this SourceID might point to more than 1 table (depending on the CustomerType it will point to SourceA table or SourceB table)...
How should this be modeled?
