View 1 RepliesWe installed SQL Server 2005 x64 on a server for our client here at our office. We can't connect to it using Enterprise Manager. I'm assuming we need to install the management console because of the differences in 2000 and 2005. The install is for a x64 and our workstations are x32. Do I need to get a media kit for a x32 because the x64 install won't work. Where can I get the install for the x32 Management console and will this work?

Our ERP vendor is helping us migrate from one version of their product to another. In the new version, they have added some columns and changed a few data types in several existing tables.
They sent us a list of the modifications that were necessary, which we did (painstakingly) by hand. But, for other reasons the update failed and we have to start anew.
This got me thinking: is there any way to do this kind of update via a script/stored procedure? I don't have their exact changes handy, but it was stuff like the table "inmast" needs a column of varchar(50) called "lotc" added to it, and the "intime" table needs the datatype of columns "Mon" "Tue" "Wed" changed from text to varchar(50), stuff like that.
Is it possible to do stuff like that in a SP?
Can the Server Management Studio Express be installed on a machine without SQL Server Express?
I have a machine that I use daily that I need to access a remote instance but there is not a need (or space) to fully install SQL Server onto the local machine - all I need is the management tool.
I tried installing it but the process errors out, saying a pre-requisite (MSXML6) isn't found. It refers me to a site with all the different SQL Server downloads.
All I need is the management tool on this machine. Is there a way to do it?
Tried loading "MOM" but it doesn't show up either
Thanks

When I right click it , go to run scripts and click on create to i can see the tab of script below:

Now I am not sure exactly how to go about querying to pull the data into a table.
The table I want to set will have three columns:
CREATE TABLE new_price (
item_id CHAR(12),
item_lst_lnd_cost DECIMAL(9,2),
item_prc_2 DECIMAL(9,2))
the columns in the EXCELLINK linked server spreasdsheet are named the same as the columns above. Once the table is created how do I use the linked server to import the data?

So i installed sql express and the management console and have the sql service and browser running. I try to connect to my instance of sql express with the management console and it says it doenst allow remote connections.
error: http://img95.imageshack.us/my.php?image=error28to.jpg
What do i need to do to be able to use the management console?
I was able to connect before but due to some bad advice think i stuffed up the whole thing and had to uninstall sql express and the management console. I re-installed them both but am now getting this error. what the heck is the deal with this? It shouldnt be this hard!
This is in relation to an earlier issue i had trying to get to connect to a database from within visual web developer express and now i can connect to my sql express instance but cant get into the managment studio. :(
When i try to connect to Integration Services on a SQL 2005 Machine, it Gives me a Class not registeed.
But i can connect to SQL 2008 Integration Services without a issue.
I tried Restarting the 2008 machine and Also Reinstalling the SSIS Piece and also Reinstalled SQL 2008, but nothing seems to Help.
I have sql server 2005 express installed on an XP machine. When I browse for a database engine, SQL server 2005 management console displays machinenamesqlexpress in the local tab, BUT in the network tab only the machinename is displayed. Thus, I cannot connect to express from a networked machine.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,

I’m trying to create a modified catalog tree out from two tables in sql
The catalog is created from two tables.
Table 1 has the lowest level and is showing the connection with the item and the lowest ItemGroup. It also shows the connection with the MainCatalog
MainCatalogId, ItemGroupId, ItemId
Example data:
(sorry for the tabs that won't work)
MainCatalogIdItemGroupIdItemId
715063823
715073824
715093825
715093826
The catalog structure is in table 2. Here are the connections between the different
ItemGroupId, ParentId
Example data:

15071365
15091364
13641066
13651066
1066NULL
To be able to use create the tree structure and not getting the result set to big, I need it to look something like this:
ItemGroupIdItemIdLevel 2 level 3Level4
1506 3823136510667
1507 3824136510667

Hi all,
We have a machine with SQL Server 2005 Express installed and we use to have no problems connecting to this using the management studio using Windows Authentication. Since yesterday when we open the management studio and press connect using Windows authentication, the logon dialog remains active but does not disappear. In the backgroung I can see the name of the instance on the machine and after a few seconds it goes to green, to show its connected but I can't do anything without cancelling the logon. If I cancel the logon, it sets it is not connected to any server, if i try to launch the instance from the registered servers, with the green connected symbol it hangs.
I have left the logon dialog overnight (14 hours) and it still did not disappear. I am looking at any patches that may have been installed but none since the end of May...does anyone else have a similar problem?
Now Sql Function can not modify data as Sql Procedure like other database, it's very troublesome at most case!
in most case, Sql Function is used to improve code structure then it can be maintanced easy! BUT only because it can not modify data, there are 2 troublesome way:
1. Make all callers in the path from Sql Functions to Sql Procedure. and the coder will cry, the code will become very
confusional , and very difficult to maintance.
2. Divide the Sql Function into a thin CLR wrapper to call a Sql Procedure, can only use another connection, BUT can not be in the same transaction context And the code is ugly and slow.
You should not give limitation to Sql Function, should just limit the using context of Sql Function!
The sql code is more difficult to read and maintance than norm code(C#), then the improving code structure and readability should be one of your most important task, that's why microsoft!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to modify subscriptions from within Management Studio. I connect to the report server, navigate to the report subscriptions and when I right-click, the properties selection is greyed out. I'm guessing this is because the original creator has ownership or something, but it would be really nice to be able to modify all subscriptions from Management Studio. Has anyone else tried this? Maybe i'm missing a security setting or something. I'm connected using windows authentication and i'm in the System Administrator role. Thanks!

Hello,
I would like create/modify/update the alias SQL server name on the SQL 2005 version.
I had a database mirroring on one base, and when the primary server fail, i would like my secondary alias become as the primary. I need this because of the application whom use my SQL server.

sp_addserver <new_name>, local

But this way doesn't work...
Anyone got an idea to change alias SQL server in transact?
Thanks for your help!!!
I have a VB .Net console application that invokes a report via a web service call. It then renders the report into Excel and emails it to the appropriate party.
I would like to suppress the email event if the dataset is empty. So the question is, can one access the NoRows property or equivalent in this environment?
I am able to get some information from the following code:
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue = execHeader
execInfo = rs.LoadReport(reportPath, historyID)
result = rs.Render(format, devInfo, extension, _
encoding, mimeType, warnings, streamIDs)
execInfo = rs.GetExecutionInfo()
The result and execInfo do not seem to deliver back the row count. Is this information available at all? If not, I may have to do an ADO call to the query to get it. Running the query twice is a pretty inefficient solution.
I am tearing my hair out with this!!
I have created a DB and up until yesterday I have been using SQL commands to add/remove tables, columns, constraints etc. However today when I attempt to modify the datatype of a column using
alter table Person modify Gender nchar(2)
I get this error
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'modify'.
I can still add colums but get the same error if I try to drop them and I can amend the tables in any way via the Design view so I don't think it's permission related.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow does one generate Transact-SQL for table structure in SQL server express 2005?
I have very limited access to an SQL server database (using rudimentary web based interface) for my hosted website. I am ready to deploy an application that was developed with Visual Studio 2005 using SQL server express as the database. I have four tables that I want to copy (structure only) from "express" to the hosted SQL server. I think I need to generate Transact-SQL statements to "create" the table structure, then run these statements as a stored procedure on the web based SQL server. I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to generate the code from SQL express 2005. Anyone had any experience with this?
thanks.
1) I can't get the 'copy database' function to work from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2005. I connect ok. Everything goes to the last step and then it fails.2) I cant get a SQL server 2008 backup to restore on SQL SEerver 2005 either.
The only way I know that works is to script the creation of all tables then export and import. This does work.
How can I get the 'entire' database, structure and data, from 2008 to 2005?
ThanksSQL newbie.
I have an issue in my production , SQL server 2008 R2 , in Error log it is said “ An error occurred in dialog transmission Error : 9655 , State : 3 and Error : 9736 Severity : 16 State 0
I checked in sysmessages , it is said :” The transmission queue table structure in database is inconsistent. Possible database corruption “
So do you think I need to run DBCC checkdb ? Should I run it after working hours or it is fine within working hours ?
I have two identical table structure with at least 60 or more columns!!
Table A
ID numeric(18, 0) Primary Key,
RefID numeric(18, 0),
CoNum Varchar(15),
PrevCode Varchar(15),
DispCode VArchar(15),
EffDate Date,
Sal numeric(18, 0),
SDeposit numeric(18, 0) Etc....
I need to compare Data between two table and provide result like this!
RefId ID, CoNum, PrevCode, DispCode, EffDate, Sal, SDeposit
1, ,No Match, ,20,5200,0
So condition like. If table A Column Data does not Equal Table B Column data then
If datatype is Date then display Difference of Days.
if Datatype is Numeric then display Difference between value.( it display 0 if doesn't have difference)
if Datatype is Varchar then display No Match word.
