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?
I just want to ask, is there a tool that can create a diagram supporting the SSIS package I have created? I would like to know if there is any available tool that can do this task so that I can support my SSIS package documentation.
For example, I have created a Data Flow task that transfer data from a source database to SQL server 2005 destination. I would like to create a diagram that summarizes the task it perform from source to destination automatically. My purpose is that whenever DB users check my SSIS package, they will have a concise idea of how my SSIS package works through my diagram.
If ever you have any ideas about this, please help.
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?
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 was wondering if someone could help advise me.Basically i have a client who wants to upgrade from a desktop msaccess solution to a web based system using MS SQL Server 2005.Basically their main concern is in losing the ability to write ad-hocqueries using the MS Access query manager.

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.
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.
Back in July I released the (then) latest version of SsbAdmin. For you who don'r know what it is; it's a tool which allows you to graphically administer SQL Server Service Broker.
I have now uploaded a new version which is compiled against the released versions of SQL Server 2005 and .NET 2.0.
You can download it from here: [0].
After download, un-zip to some directory and read the README.doc file.
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. Can someone help me get ASP.NET Web Site Administrator to work with my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition?
Just wondering if there are any tools available for SQL Server 2005 which allow the comparison and scripting of data and schema between two databases. This is so that I can migrate between Dev, QA, and Live easily.
I have SQL 2005, and Reporting Service has been uninstalled and reinstalled, go through each step of confiugration until Encryption Key, for some reason, the backup button is grayed out, only "restore" button is clickable, as well as Delete, but we never backup the key before, so this is really strange since we do not have backupkey, so we cannot restore.
we tried "Delete", then we got the following error:
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The encrypted value for the "LogonCred" configuration setting cannot be decrypted. (rsFailedToDecryptConfigInformation) at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.ThrowOnError(ManagementBaseObject mo) at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.DeleteEncryptedInformation()
Browse report manager and reportserver also got the same error, run rskeymgmt -d, does not help either
I have just downloaded VB Express, that comes with SQL Express
In order to manage and use SQL databases it seems I have to use SQL Studio Mgt Tool. But, where is it? I can only see Configuration Tools, but not any Mgt tool or DB Engine......
Hi guys, I've tried to back a database from a server on the net ie: discountasp.net by using Microsoft SQL 2005 Express management tool. After all the set up: (1) the part "Destination", in the "Disk" radio button was cheked, the path for the backup file shows like: D:MSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmyDatabase.back; As I understand D: is the CD drive(?), so I put a CDisc in the drive, and kept going with the process. The Process went very well and inform that the Database has been fully backed up. But I never have found the "saved" or "backed up" that I backed up. Can anyone show me where this backup Database in that D: drive, and where is that D: drive anyway?
(2) In that "destination" part, if I clicked "add", and then typed in the path address part like: C:....mybackupDatabase.bak for example, the the tool gave me the error: ... not set to an instance ...; I counldn't even select the Browse to browse to the directory that I wanted to back up the Database.
I have an environment of SQL Server 2K5 and 2000 servers. The environment is mostly data warehouse than transactional. There are some applications working continiously to provid reports. The servers must be up and running.
I have to provide high availability, monitor performance, and minimize down time. Is there any "really good" tool for a DBA for this environment? I would like to hear your experience with the tool you are using. Any practical suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
[1/29/07] It's first time on this forume for me that I had no reply for about 4 days! Any idea? Any experience to share?

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.
