I've been tasked to create a database diagram, save it and send that db diagram to the user. Now, I am confused as I don't know where sql server stores the db diagram...what is the path where it stores the diagram. How do I export it in case if I need to provide it to the user. How, am I supposed to grant user permission so he himself can create a database diagram.
View 9 RepliesI have created a database with several tables. I want to create a database diagram to show the relationshipbetween the tables. Below are the steps from the SQL Server 2005 documentation on how to create a database diagram. The problem is that when I right click on the Database Diagrams folder I am only given two options. They are:"Working with SQL Server diagrams" and "Refresh"There is no menu choice to create a new database diagram. Can anyone tell me what the problem here is?
To create a new database diagramIn Object Explorer, right-click the Database Diagrams folder or any diagram in that folder.
Choose New Database Diagram on the shortcut menu.
The Add Table dialog box appears.
Select the required tables in the Tables list and click Add.
The tables are displayed graphically in the new database diagram.
Hi,I have to prepare an ER diagram for the objects in my SQL Serverdatabase. I have used the option "DIAGRAMS" in EnterPrise Manager ofSQL Server 2000. It is creating the diagram for the selected tables(but the diagram contains only the table which i have selected. It isnot displaying its depended tables). But i am not able to export it toany of the flat file like MS WORD or paint. I want this diagram to beuploaded to one Flat file and send to my customer for his reference.Could anyone suggest me how to create the ER Diagram for the SQL 2000database and export it to a flat file.Thanks for your help in advance.-Rao

I have two domains. forest domain abc which has the exchange infrastructure. forest domain xyz which does not have exchange. There is a two way trust set up.
I have set up database mail which sends internally but not externally on the xyz domain its uses mailrelay address to comunicate with exchange. The receive connector is set up correctly on exchange on domain abc as I have managed to send email from a sql server to external contact in the abc domain.
The IP addresses are correct on the receive connector.
The problem is I am unable to send to an external contact from the sql server in the xyz domain. Not sure if this an exchange issue or database mail.
Hello:
I have an old database created in SQL Server 2000,
now I can open, access it in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, but I can't create Data Diagrams.
Please advise on how to make it work....
Thank you
Hi all,
I am trying to create a diagram for our database, during the creating, I create some of the relationships which were not there(basically our original database is not relational database, that's why I am doing it)
So sometimes I have to chage data type in order to create a relationship for the coloumns in different tables. i.e. change char(16) to varchar(7) (I checked the field that make sure all the data in this field is <= 7 characters)
But when I saved the diagram, there is an error message that state:
Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of your database objects are not saved on your diagram.
'agent' table saved successfully
'VisitUSA' table
- Unable to create relationship 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VisitUSA_agent'. The conflict occurred in database 'CMC', table 'agent', column 'AgentCode'.
What does that mean? is it caused by some of the agentcode data in VisitUSA table which is not in agent table?
Thanks!

When trying to create a DB diagram on my local SQL Server 2005 db, I get the following error:
cannot insert the value null into column "diagram_id"
I have searched the web and can't seem to find anything on this.
I just simply drag one table from my local db onto the diagram windows and try to Save it and that's what I get. I'm able to save diagrams on a networked SQL Server.
Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue?
Hi,
I€™m trying to create a DB for my course at Uni and as far as I€™m aware to create a DB on my desktop at home I need to use CE.
So I created a new DB in CE and then created some tables and I now want to create a relationship diagram but there isn€™t an option to do it. In the toolbar the relationship icon is permanently greyed out and unusable and there isn€™t a node in object explorer.
Can this be done and am I just missing something obvious? I€™m running it on Vista and I have installed the latest SP, could that cause any problems?
Im going crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ricky

Hello...
Is there any way to create a new database directly as a user instance. I guess this means creating a new mdf/ldf pair which is detached from the server after its created.

Can we able to create a database user name as €˜sa€™ in sql server 2k5?
I have a Java application (APP) that use SQL Server 2008 - 20014. In the SQL server there can be more than my database. During setup of the database the first user (ex:ADM) is created using MS SQL Server Management Studio (SMS). ADM can then launch the APP with proper credentials and connect to the database.ADM can then, in the APP, create new users for the APP and database. After some testing for proper CREATE and GRANTS I use the following code to create a new Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) user for the APP and database: CREATE LOGIN testuser WITH PASSWORD='password', DEFAULT_DATABASE = testdb
USE testdb
CREATE USER testuser FOR LOGIN testuser
GRANT AUTHENTICATE TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT CONNECT TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT ALTER ANY USER TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT CONNECT SQL TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
GRANT INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE, EXECUTE, DELETE TO testuser WITH GRANT OPTION
USE master
GRANT CONTROL SERVER TO testuser
USE testdb..When I the use the SMS and look at security the "testuser" is only added to testdb. To test I create a second database "testdb2" --> launch the APP to connect to testdb2 and can login with "testuser".I don't know if I give to much grants or missing one...proper TSQL so new users only have CRUD access to "testdb" and no other database on the SQL server.

I have a website written in asp.net and the current DATABASE logins do not use windows authenticaton. They are for online use only with a username and password. I'm trying to run my program locally on my machine and access the database locally. This is very frustrating. I'm able to connect to my database, but I can't login to it. Here's my connection string from ym webconfig file:
<add name="sqlConnectionString" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Connect Timeout=8; Initial Catalog=linkexchanger; Data Source=SCOTSQLEXPRESS; "/>
I have the MSSQL engine running and I have connected with the SERVER. My database is in my directory tree of Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express. The server is SCOTSQLEXPRESSI have attempted to add a login to my sql database by right clicking on the security folder to create a new login. My understanding is that under windows, I don't need a uid and pwd in my connection string . Thus I tried removing all of this just as you see above, and I get an error message every single time I try to create a login with windows authentication.
Can someone please explain how I make this work?
Thank you.

View 10 Replies View RelatedHi,
I created a database,login,user and schema like belows.
-- 2. create database
CREATE DATABASE MyTempDatabase;
-- 3. create login
CREATE LOGIN MyTempLogin WITH PASSWORD = '#mytemplogin$',
DEFAULT_DATABASE = MyTempDatabase,
CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF,
CHECK_POLICY = OFF;
--
USE MyTempDatabase;
-- 4. create user
CREATE USER MyTempLogin FROM LOGIN MyTempLogin WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MyTempSchema;
-- 5. create schema
CREATE SCHEMA MyTempSchema AUTHORIZATION MyTempLogin;
The created user,MyTempLogin, must have permissions that can create tables,drop tables,select,insert,delete,update and bulk insert.
How can I grant permissions to the user?(or schema?)
I failed to grant by T-SQL query.
Additionally, what is purppose of the ROLE? Should I create or use it?
I'm confusing in security concept(login,user,schema,role).
Thanks.
Do you know a stored procedure ( or a query) to send a message to a SQLServer user ?
Something like NET SEND but with a spid user

I am having a problem getting informational type messages to display for my end users.
I have a SQL2000 db with a Delfi front end. When I issue either the raiserror or print nothing is displayed inside the app. With raiserror I can get it to display if I make the severity higher than 10. The problem with this is that it stops the app from processing the transaction. This is ok in one case but not with just informational type stuff. Any suggestions? Thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working through a book about setting up a database, though i'm doing it slightly differently, using a sql server database on a remote server rather than the local sql server express database shipped with visual studio.
everything has been going fine until i've reached a part where they want to add a database diagram to the existing database. they talk about right clicking the database diagram node, and selecting add, but for some reason there is no database diagram node, so i can't do it this way. the book also says using the data>add new>diagram from the menu, but when i do this i either have no diagram option (when i have no table opened) or else the diagram option is greyed out and unselectable (when i have a table opened).
any ideas on how i can add a database diagram?
