Hi,
I am trying to determine a couple of books that will help me understand SQL Server 2005 from a few of perspectives:
Optimizing databases, specifically from SQL 2000 - I have a recommended book Pro SQL Server 2005 Database Design and Optimization
Developing SQL Server 2005 based applications using VIsual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0 - I have been unable to narrow down to a specific book here. I learn best by example, so I was hoping for a book that basically goes through implementing a "real world" project from scratch to finish. I am going to be using the full-blown enterprise edition of SQL 2005, not the Express Edition; but a book that uses the Express Edition trumps any other book, I would be open to it. Any suggestions on such a book?
Understanding T-SQL and Stored Procedures from a SQL Server 2005 perspective -- Any suggestions? A book that spells out the differences from SQL 2000 would be an added advantage.
Thanks.
There are between 10 and 15 books in the set. I recall an index, developer's book, administrator's book, and two T-SQL reference books. I don't remember what the other books were. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I had these books at my disposal at my last place of employment and I'm trying to get the same books here. If this sounds familiar to anyone, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Un-installing Feb 2007 BOL and installing original makes no difference.
Help!
are a mess, reminiscent of the structurless "goto" programming of days past. One of you brainiacs need to erect a "real" getting started section, with procedural steps on how a first time user can successfully download, install, and use SQL Server Express. Not all of us are working in corporations where the guy in the next cubicle can answer questions for newbies.
I will try once again, nicely, to ask a question about installing SQL Server Express Edition SP2 onto a Windows Vista machine. That drama will take place in another post.
I just downloaded the SQL Server Express w/ Advanced Services and did not see a specific Books On Line for this edition. I know there is a new SQL Server 2005 BOL - I downloaded this as well, and will use to complement the old SQL Server Express BOL.
I was looking for specific information about the differences between SQL Server Express and the Advanced Services edition. I think the Microsoft sites are pretty vague - why is the advanced services edition better for multiuser applications?

My uncle runs a small networking company and has extra licenses for Windows 2003 Server as well as SQL Server 2000. Since I just graduated from college and have started working as a database programmer (for a different company) I'd like to setup a small server at home to learn more about SQL (as well as networking, but SQL is my primary concern). I know I can setup SQL Server 2000 on my main PC, but I'd still like to set everything up in a server environment.
So, what I'm wondering is if any books (or web sites?) exist that walk you through setting up Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2000. I've actually set these up before (it's not very complicated) but I'm not sure if I did it the "correct" way.
Ideally if any books exist on O'Reilly's Safari Bookshelf that would be even better.
Thanks in advance,
John

I am trying to install sql server 2005 books online but I am failing and I am getting this message
"This installation pakage could not be opened.Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"
am I doing anything wrong or has the version of books online changed? Do I have to install anything else before installing it? or does my operating system not support it?
Thanks

I am not new to the SQL Server world, but am somewhat new to the SQL Server 2005 world. I am just getting into the reporting tool. By just messing around for about an hour or so, I was able to get what I wanted somewhat. Basically, I'd like to get up to speed on the reporting side of things fairly quickly. So I am looking at some books, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on any.
Here is a few that caught my eye:
-MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services by Brian Larson
-MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services for Dummies
-Professional SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services by Paul Turley
-The Rational Guide to SQL Server Reporting Services
I am thinking the 1st two would probably be my best bet, but wanted to get you folks suggestions.
Let me know as soon as you can as I am planning on going to the book store tonight or this weekend.
Thanks in Advance!!!

1. I need to find the names of the customers who have purchased academic books. (Coding required as Subquery NOT as Join)
2. Here, I need to show a list of authors who have written books and list the books they have written.
Sort the list by last name
(Coding required as Subquery)
OK, it isnt the end of the world but i have been moving all SQL databases from one server to another in our development environment and think i have screwed up a bit.
In essence, the users in each database are different to the logins in the security tab. IE, there are users in DB1 that dont appear in the logins list. Is there anyway of getting the security information uptodate? I move the databases by detach|file copy|attach into the nice shiny new server. I am running into all sorts of errors when i try to create users in security as it says the user alrady exists ...
all thoughts welcomed, am steeling myself to start all over again!
Hi,I am trying to create a development database server (make use of an old machine), with which to learn about sql 2005 and oracle etc. I'm using VS 2005 Beta 2 on my development/workstation machine.My workstation and the prospective server are connected via a router and can 'see' each other.I have installed win 2003 server on two seperate partitions (multiple boot) and installed sql server 2005 on one partition and will install oracle 10g on the other. (I understand these two databases can run on the same machine/OS, but I just wanted to keep things tidy and I won't be using them at the same time, so ...).My question is how do I/should I configure win 2003 server / sql server 2005 on my server machine, in order to be able to connect from my workstation via vs 2005 beta 2 ?Any suggestions or resources on configuration appreciated.

Production and development servers are on different domains and they do not trust each other. How do I import data from the table t1 from a database db1 in production and load it into table t1 inside database db1 in development?
View 3 Replies View RelatedPlease can anybody help me in transferring existing SSIS Packages saved in a shared folder location from development server 2ED to Live server TWD1.
Both has SQL server 2005 running and has visual studio 2005
Currently about 25 SSIS packages are executed from the development server transferring data on Live server TWD1...these ETL process is called from development server but executed on live server.
Now the problem is when i call these packages from the shared folder from live server it crashes.....i need to changes something to shift the whole package to the live server..and execute on live server itself instead of recreating the whole 25 process from scratch.....also i use optimize for many tables ..and run in a single trancastion....so how can i see the mappings of source and destination tables.
Please let me know the process how i can achieve this.
Thanks

I am running both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.
Lets say I have a live database that is version 1 for an application. The database is copied onto a development machine to develop version 2 of the application. I want to be able to take a snapshot of the database and then get a program to write all the changes made after the snapshot into sql code. This is so I can run this sql code on the live database and transform version 1 to version 2.
Is there any program/tool that will allow me to do this?

Need Recommendation on Tool for SQL Server Development
I have inherited a SQL Server 7 database (actually a SQL Server 6.5 database running on SQL 7 in compatibility mode) with 1000s of objects with triggers and stored procedures with zero documentation; i need to make major changes to this database; are there any tools available that will allow me to quickly search through the database objects and code (like stored procedures, etc) for keywords and other useful criteria? Do you recommend any SQL Server specific tools that will help me learn this database in the shortest amount of time?
Thank you!

Is VB.net the most logical choice of a RAD tool to use with MS SQL Server? Is VB.net strictly for web apps or can you use it to create projects that run as executables off the server?
JustStartinOut
I have a SSIS package that runs fine when I execute it in visual studio but when I run it on the server as a job it fails. This is nothing to do with protection levels etc as the job is running. It fails part way through with this as the error log

Hi,
While developing the packages in our developers environment the packages should be stored in file system. Once after the completion of the development, while moving these packages to upstream environments the packages should be deployed to sql server. Is this scenario possible? If possible, can anybody give me some tips for how to do that.
Basically It is like the developers make their changes in the file system packages (internally versions are mainintained by source control). After the completion of the development whenever we do a build and deploy to the upstream systems we should move the packages from file system to sql server database. There is a scheduler in sql server which is responsible for executing these packages.
Can anybody give me some examples?
Another question.
Assume that in the developers environment there is a central sql server database which is storing all the packages in MSDB database. Suppose at a time 2 developers are making modification to a single package. How it behaves? Is parallel developemnt supported in SSIS?
Thanks in advance.
