Where Are The Solution File For Adventure Works DW Saved?
Jun 12, 2006
Hi, all here,
I am trying to locate the solution file for the Adventure works DW included as part of the installation of SQL Server 2005 to be opened in Business Intelligence Development Studio, But where is the solution file saved? I can see its database from Management studio but I need to know its solution file to locate it in Business intelligence studio. Please could anyone here give me some idea about that. Thanks a lot in advance for any help and guidance for that.

The Data Mining Tutorial accompanying the June CTP includes mention of a table DimProspect. Despite the csv file existing in the Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSamplesAdventureWorks Data Warehouse path containing the data for the table, the instawdwdb script doesn't include any reference. Can someone supply me with the necessary script for this table?

Hey All,
I'm new to the whole DB thing so I wanted to start off easy and download SQL Express. That part worked fine so I tried to install the Adventure Works DB to get some practice using the SQL commands. The problem is every time I click on a table in Adventure Works and choose Open Table I get a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio box that pops up. The error says: Class Not Registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
(Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlTools.VSIntegration)
Help!! Any ideas out there how to get the Adventure Works DB working? Thx much.

Hello Everyone,
I am very new to SQL and just completed an install of SQL 2005 Express. After install, I downloaded the Adventure Works database and attempted to attach through both the Object Browser (right-click 'Databases'--->'Attach') and by running the script that is located on the SQL download page where I got the Adventure Works db.
Here's the error that I get:
"Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 8, object ID 1, Index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes."
I have attempted to go through the help files, but unfortunately the above message is too cryptic for me and I have no idea what it's telling me.
Can someone help?
Thanks!!

I was studying the Adventure Works database because I read it contains good examples of best practices.
It has an ID column for each table that is auto-incrementing Primary Key. There is also a row guid which seems redundant since the ID PKs are identity columns that increment automatically and should be unique in a given table.
What is the purpose of the row guid being used in conjunction with the ID which should be unique in a given table?

All,
I'm running Windows Xp Pro With SQL 2005 Dev edition with Adventure Works sample db installed. I am the local administrator on my desktop, the services are up and running and I specified local connections only since this is the DEV edition of SQL05.
When I try either one of these connection strings: Data source=(SQLDEV05); initial catalog=AdventureWorks or Data source=(local); initial catalog=AdventureWorks.
I receive this error message:
TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer
-----------------------------
A connection cannot be made to the database.
Set and test the connection string.
----------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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.

I am trying to create a Adventure Works Tabular cube in my developing machine and im having problems deploying the tabular cube (the DW database was firstly attached without problems)
So I'm having problems processing Adventure Works Tabular Cube, the problems are somewhere between SSAS project configuration and running privileges, i think. I'll describe exactly where i am:
- in SSMS 2012, connections, tables and roles and roles are empty, i only have the full name of the database when I try to process i get an error "the table with id of "product category 92583829......", Name of Product Category refereced by the model Cube, does not exist. An error ocurred when loading the model cube, '?c:program filesmicrosoft
sql serverMSAS11.MSSQLSERVEROLAPDataAdventureWorks Tabular model SQL 2012.0.dbModel.21.cub.xml'. (Microsoft AnalysisServices.)"
- in SQL Server configuration Manager, I have
Sql Server (MSSQLSERVER) running with account NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER
Sql Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) running with account .L.ABCDE , which is my account, i've changed because i've read somewhere that i could have problems with privileges.
(Note: it's strange because SSAS is tabular, i can see a blue rectangle (sort of) in SSMS but in configurator manager seems to be a cube.)
- in SSAS Project i unzip a clean copy of the project and the first error is that BIM file can't be found, it try's to find server TOSHIBA_S50_BTAB, but as i have only tabular SSAS running, i replace for TOSHIBA_S50... And some time ago it worked, now it doesn't even found TOSHIBA_S50_B?!!!!

Hi
I have three questions about several topics.
In this code:
public string ConnectionString
{
get
{
return "Provider=MSOLAP.3;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW";
}
}
What is data source and initial catalog and what does this code do? And if I want to use other database how can change this code? (This code is for data mining viewer client project)
And in this code:
SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=True");
SqlCommand cm = new SqlCommand("Select AddressID,AddressLine1 from Person.Address", cn);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
da.SelectCommand = cm;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
this.comboBox1.DisplayMember = "AddressLine1";
this.comboBox1.ValueMember = "AddressID";
this.comboBox1.DataSource = dt;
what is comboBox1.DisplayMember and comboBox1.ValueMember ,and what is difference between those ?
and other question:
in adventure works dw project for data mining predicting ,in forecasting model ,if I want to show the result of this query in the combobox in c# how can I show that?
SELECT
PredictTimeSeries(amount)
From
[Forecasting]
And again in this code ,it has a result which has two culomns ,on of them is for amount and other column is for time ,in sql I can save this result in exsiting table or neew table with wizard,but I want to
Do this work in c#,that€™s mean with a adomdconnection I connect to forecasting model and write this query then in a datagridviwe ,Iwant to see the values of prediction in adventure works dw database.
Other question:
In €œdataminingviwerclient€? project I change this code and you can see it,for this code I have a form that give servername and catlogname in that and then with clcking on a button I want to show the chart of model in a child form ,but I can€™t.

Hi all,
I am not sure this is the right place to post this, but I could find a better place.
I uploaded a document in the SQL Server (image datatype), but I was not able to save file Type since there is no field for that, and cannot change the database.
Now I download the saved file. Is there any way to extract file Type from the saved file (like from file header?) and open it with an appropriate program such as doc file with MS Word?
Thanks,
J

Hello everyone.
I have an interesting problem. We have a SQL database with a field that is an image type. In it are records where the image field are text files. What I would like to do is look at these files and stream them line by line and do some processes for each line read.
So let's say a client machine uploaded a file called myfile.txt into this database.
I would like the asp.net (vb) application tkae this file and read each line and do some processing.
I looked at memorystream and streamreader but just can not figure this out. Can you please help? Thank you Kameron

Hi,
I have an SSIS package that pipes data from an iSeries data source to a SQL Server table. The connection manager I am using is the .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider
When I run this SSIS package on my developer PC (from inside BIDS or using the Management Studio Execute Package Utility) it works. However when I run the package from within a SQL Server Agent Job it fails.
I have enabled logging and the error message given is:
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [28000] [IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver]Communication link failure. comm rc=8002 - CWBSY0002 - Password for user MALLPRESS on server SMICHC is not correct, Password length = 0, Prompt Mode = Never, System IP Address = 172.16.0.4 ERROR [28000] [IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver]Communication link failure. comm rc=8002 - CWBSY0002 - Password for user MALLPRESS on server SMICHC is not correct, Password length = 0, Prompt Mode = Never, System IP Address = 172.16.0.4
It gives the message €œPassword length = 0€? despite the fact that I have specified a password in the package.
To try to get around this I have added an XML configuration file to the SSIS package. In this configuration file I€™ve set values for the ConnectionString, UserName, and Password.
I still get the above error about a password length of 0.
I have also tried to execute the package using dtexec, but this gives a similar error.
The SQL used to run this is:
xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /sq "SCSRV-06DTS PackagesStagingStagingBranchImport"'
This has got me stumped, and I€™m not sure where to go from here as these packages need to be programmatically run each morning. At the moment I am manually running them from within BIDS.
All packages that don€™t use an iSeries connection manager run successfully in SQL Agent jobs.
I have also tried using the OLEDB connection manager (ibm db2 udb for iseries ibmda400 ole db provider) without success.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks, Matt

Hey guys and girls,
This seems like a no brainer, but it's driving me nuts. I want one XML file for the entire solution. There are multiple packages in the solution which have different Connections in the conntion Managers. The packages share some connection names, and some are unique to the package.
Example:
LoadData.dtsx would have a source database connection named (SourceDB_OLEDB) and a oledb connection (DataWarehouse_OLEDB).
LoadDataMart.dtsx would use the same name for the (DataWarehouse_OLEDB) connection and have another oledb connection (DataMart_OLEDB)
I want one XML config file that has all the connection strings, but the problem is that the LoadDataMart.dtsx will throw an error:
Error 1 Error loading LoadDataMart.dtsx: The connection "SourceDB_OLEDB" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. c:ssisLoadDataMart.dtsx 1 1

Hi there,
My problem is that the upload works in testing for our asp.net site only for dbo. Being mindful of security, I would prefer not use this account to execute all sp_/sql. One solution could be using impersonation only in the content management system where the uploading is done, this is code in web.config:
<location path="Manage.aspx"> <system.web> <identity impersonate="true" userName="dbo" password="****" /> <authorization> <deny users="?" /> </authorization> </system.web> </location>
To do this I would have to change the dbo password as set up by previous employee, not a real dba so not sure of the implications (enough permissions to be dangerous though;). Is the above impersonation ok, or should I redo logins security in sql? Thanks.

Hi,
I have a problem that's baffling me. I have a package that loads some files into the database. If I run it from BIDS, it works fine. But if I run the package from the job, I get this error:
Cannot open the datafile "D:myFoldermyFile.TXT".
It seems like a permissions issue, but the job runs under a local admin account, and not to mention, the very same package/job reads and loads files from this exact same directory, with no problems.
Halp.

I have made a package that reads a text file into a table.
The data in the file is roughly as follows.
1, "a", "b,c,ddddd", 4, "ee", 0 with the column sizes int, 1, 50, int, 2, int
On all the desktop Bids environments and a SQL 2005 instance on windows server 2000 the package runs fine.
on the 2 Windows server 2003/SQL 2005 machines a truncation error occurs on col 5.
What is happening is on these machines the text qualifier is being ignored and column 5 is reading as ddddd instead of ee!
I figured this out by changing all fields to text and seeing what came out of the other end.
It is very, very strange and I've hit a brick wall.
If Anyone has any ideas throw them in the mixer please?
Cheers,
Steve

I'm trying to import a tab separated text file into sql server 2005 using the import guide. But when running the job I get the error message
Error 0xc02020c5: Data Flow Task: Data conversion failed while converting column "Column 19" (67) to column "Column 19" (404). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
The column 19 which reported a problem contains this information:
?searchroot=/_gen_/txt/&template=std.htm&use=prospect&intref=1_26067
However what is mysterious is that if I open the file in notepad or Excel and resave it again the job runs perfectly. This is not a way we could make it work later on since it's an automatic job that will run each night on a new text file.
The text file is sent from Norway to Sweden - and I use ANSI latin 1 when importing.
The column has datatype DT_STR with a width of 500.
I use Locale Swedish and when I save in Notepad it is saved in ANSI,
I use Windows XP Swedish version.

We have a valid full backup of a database. We know it is valid, we have restored it twice from the network with no problems, but we do not have access to the network location from our sandbox environment.
The .bak file is sizable at about 9GB. The .bak file resides on our internal network, in a SAN drive. No problems there. When we copy the file from there into a sandbox environment to attempt the restore in the sandbox environment it gets corrupted. We've tried three different times and all three different times it gets corrupted. First time we copied the file over to the sandbox the restore went up to 50% and failed. The second time we copied the file again and attempted the restore again it failed at 70%.
The third time it failed at 60%. The error message we get during the restore is "...Read on ... failed: 13(The data is invalid) Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Restore database is terminating abnormally."
Now some background here. To move the file our network team is doing this: they have this .vmdk file that they mount out in our production environment (which has access to the network location where the .bak file is), copy the file into the drive, then move the .vmdk file into the sandbox environment(which does not have access to the network location), mount the drive in the sandbox environment, and then I have access to the .bak file from within the sandbox environment.
Something in the process of using the .vmdk file to move the .bak file from production into the sandbox is causing the file to get corrupted.

VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!
-----------------------------------
The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.

If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy.
I just simply could NOT get it to work.
You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question:
Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?
- NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO )
Then select the tables you want in the DataSet.
and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details
Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control
and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there.
Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes
and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets,
(a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database)
the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets.
YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM.
Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks,

I am having trouble installing the sample Adventure database. I went to the following location:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E719ECF7-9F46-4312-AF89-6AD8702E4E6E&displaylang=en
to download AdventureWorksDB.msi. Once I save that to my local machine I run the install and it completes with no errors. Unfortunately, I can't see any of the data in SQL Server Management Studio Express. I'm new to SQL Server Express so maybe its me, but I get the feeling that it was never added to the database. I'm still looking for SQLServerExpressSamplesOverview.htm to see if I am missing a step but I can't find it anywhere.
The install seems to have extracted database files but if I need to run some scripts by hand to create the database I don't know which order to run them in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
