How do I install / setup SQL server 2005 so that I can use it for my school projects. I am learning C# and web service programming that supports connections to an SQL database. I need to be able to use it as a "local host" that can connect to Visual Studio 2005.
When I open BIDS it displays a list of "Recent Projects". How can I edit (or delete) items from this list? (Over time the list has acquired a lot of junk est projects that I no longer need).
TIA,

Hi,
Does anyone know any good tech schools that have SQL Server 2005 data mining classes? If around the Chicago area that's even better.

Hey,
I need to retrieve info from a database and display it using a repeater control. No problems there! But, I need to add data before displaying it, and I don't mean add data to the database but rather to the repeater control. For eaxample:
I have a simple database containing two fields: [date] and [event]. The repeater will display these events in a monthly view. That is: the repeater will have 31 rows and the events will be displayed next to the day it happens. Now if there's nothing happening a certain day then I need to add that day manually because it will not be bound, right! See my problem?
In other words, how do i loop through a records when using the SqlDataSource?
Thanks,Björn Andersson
I am trying to calculate a whole school total tuition. I've got helped with individual tuition total which is
create proc sp_individualtuition
as
select c.contractNum, (c.tuition-((sum(d.discountPer))* c.tuition)) as totaltuition
from contract c, contractDiscount cd, discount d
where c.contractNum = cd.contractNum
and cd.discountNum =d.discountNum
group by c.contractNum, c.tuition
however how can i calculate the whole school total tuition (adding all the individual total tuition)?
my contract, contractDiscount and discount DDL are down below
create table contract(
contractNum int identity(1,1) primary key,
contractDate smalldatetime not null,
tuition money not null,
studentId char(4) not null foreign key references student (studentId),
contactId int not null foreign key references contact (contactId)
);
create table contractDiscount(
contractNum int not null,
discountNum char(3) not null
);
alter table contractDiscount
add constraint pk_contractdiscount primary key clustered (contractNum, discountNum)
;
alter table contractDiscount
add constraint fk_contractdiscount_contractnum
foreign key (contractNum)
references contract(contractNum)
;
alter table contractDiscount
add constraint fk_contractdiscount_discountnum
foreign key (discountNum)
references discount(discountNum)
create table discount(
discountNum char(3) primary key,
discountDesc varchar(100) not null,
discountPer decimal(3,2) not null
);

I'm a college student working on a database project using MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
The program (SQL SMSEE) is installed on both the computers in class and on two of my computers at home. The first installation resulted in the "remote connections" error. No matter what I do, I can't get the program to fully load. So I tried installing on another computer at home. The second installation went well. Didn't do anything different from the first installation, but any hoo....................
My 2-week old problem is this - I save my database that I do in class on my thumbdrive. Last class, I saved all the files that had my database's name on it on my thumbdrive--.mdf, .log, .bak, etc. On the second home computer, I cannot open the databases that I work on at school. Even my professor is stumped on this one.
Here is what I'm doing......
After I connect to the server, I right-click "Databases" then left-click "Restore Database".
In the "To database" box, I enter the name of the database, as I saved it at school.
In the "To a point in time" box, I leave the default "Most recent possible" entry.
I select "From device" as the location of backup and click the "..." button. The file is on my thumbdrive, so I click "Add" and select the location on my usb (with the .bak extension) and click OK.
I pick the most recent file checkbox and click "OK".
The green progress circle goes to 50% and then gets stuck. The database never opens and the Object Explorer shows the database name followed by "(Restoring...)". So if I try to do anything else with it, I get an error message stating the database in the middle of a restore and that I have to wait until its done. Well, of course it never finishes.
Please help me. Right now I am stuck doing duplicate work at home and at school and am making little to no progress. The final project is due on 26 March and right now I only have my tables, a few attributes and a couple of relationships. And I have a LOT more work to do.
Thanks.
In a sql server 2012 database, I have a field called date of birth that is stored in a tha that is stored in a datetime format. I need to determine the age of various students in the school system. Thus can you show me sql to that I can use to determine the a child is currently?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working on creating a timetable app for school. I have been given a requirement as below
1. The weekdays like Monday,Tuesday,...should be displayed on top
2. Timing slot would be 8:00, 9:00,... which would be displayed vertically

to display data like above would be simpler. The above timetable would be similar all through the year.
But my 3rd requirement is that, there is a option wherein the school admin can edit the timetable for any particular day or a week based on presence/absence of a particular teacher. So if a teacher who is teaching Maths is not present for 2 days, they might assign a different subject(eg., Physics) for those 2days to a different teacher.
so the table should look like below for those two days only based on the date selection.
Timings MondayTuesday WednesdayThursday Friday Saturday

I am not sure how exactly I can mention the dates wherein I can allocate the days when the periods are changed and how exactly same timetable should be shown for the entire year if there is no change.
suppose the timetable is changed for two days 24/01/2015 and 25/01/2015 wherein Maths is replaced with Physics subject, how to retrieve the changed data for only those two days.
I would like to spend as much time as I can working on SQL projects but my daytime job doesn't exactly call for it. My end goal is to be MS SQL DBA certified and hands on skills will help me get there.
Is there a website where I could offer my time and skills to work on SQL projects - DB design, scripting, development, admin, etc - I would offer my time and sklls for cheap or free in exchange for the experience.

I have gone through the above and, while I can connect to the sql server and activate connections, I can not add a sql database to a project.
Open a project
Right click - add new item
Choose sql database
or
Add existing item
choose existing sql database
results in:
"Connections to SQL server files (*.mdf) require sql server express 2005 to function properly blah blah blah"
Like I said, I can connect to the DB through the server explorer and view table definitions and data. I just can't add one to a solution. I have reinstalled sqlexpress already and am trying to avoid having to reinstall visual studio.
I guess the Subject line sums it all up, but I need some experienced explanation of what do a solution and a project represent, and how do I use them to my advantage.
Is a solution an entire database? If so, how can I create a solution from my existing databases?
Are either of them a way to collect together scripts etc which will be run against a production database when the solution is rolled out?
What is a project? Is it a single set of scripts related to an upgrade to a database? If so, can it be executed as a single entity? How is the sequence of execution controlled?
And so on and so on....
2005 is such a step backwards for DBA's with all the features we used to have and now don't. If it wasn't for the fact that MS will eventually stop supporting 2000, I frankly see no incentive to upgrade myself.
Ok, OK, flame off.
Can anybody suggest some resources which might give me some insight into these questions?
Thanks,

I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.
I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.
1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.
2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.
3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.
We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.

I have recently switched to SQL 2005 and have been following this guide to create a new DTS project.
The only problem is the "Data Transformation Project" option does not show in my list of available 'templates'.
I double checked the install using the add/remove programs feature to update the installation -- all components under the business intelligence section are installed.
Here is the step by step of what I am doing:
1. Launch SQL Server Business Intelligence Development studio.
2. File --> New Project
3. Under the Business Intelligence Projects I am looking for Data Transformation Project but do not see it listed.
Here is what I do have:
Analysis services project
Integration services project
report model project
import analysis services 9.0 database
report server project wizard
report server project
Anyone know what the problem is/where I can find DTS?

I'm trying to open an Reporting Services project in Sql Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (which looks a lot like Visual Studio 2005). This project was copied from another computer where it runs normally. I get the following error when trying to open it...
Package Load Failure
Package 'DataWarehouse VSIntegration layer' has failed t load peoperly (guid = etc..). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible enfvironment corruption. Would you like to disable loadinug for this package in the future? you may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.
I also tried to create a new Reporting services project and I got the following error....
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer, Version=9.0.242.0...blah blah.
Some of my research so far says the first message could be related to having ran a beta version of vs2005 on this system which I did. However the ordinary vs2005 asp.net project appear to run normally.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks,

We use SQL Server 2000 on the back-end of our directory web site and ASP on the front end which works fine. However, for my own uses (since I don't create the asp and have to pay a programmer), would it be better to set up an Access 2003 project for my own data entry forms, standard reports and quick searching?
What would be the negatives of this approach. Remember, this is just for me.

Hey All,
I'm tring to figure out the best way to organize my reports.
When I create a new Reporting Service Project throught the 2005 .NET IDE, I'm allowed to have 1 folder in the project to deploy to. I've tried adding folders under the default Reports folder, but I haven't found a way to do this. I'd like to be able to add more directories so I can deploy them right to the server, and they will be in the proper folders, with the correct access rights.
A developer here has offered the approach of One Report - One Project. I don't want to do this because the reports have so much in common, like datasources, that I don't want to be flipping back an forth from one project to the next.
I did also look to see if there was a way to assign a dircetory to each report, rather than the project level, but I didn't see way to do that. I also, tried to add folder through the Windows Explorer and see if I could get around this restriction, but no luck there either.
Anyway, How is everyone else organizing they projects?

I just installed Visual Studio 2008 in my machine and removed VS 2005 as I thought it wasnt needed anymore.

So, is there anyway to create/open business intelligence projects in VS 2008?

Hi,
We are using Microsoft Reporting Service 2005 to develop reports. The
reports are pointing to the Analysis Services database.
We want to move the report project developed to another machine. Basically
we want to deploy the reports at the client end.
I have found the below url that mentions the steps for SQL Server 2005
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842425
Is this the only way to acheive the needed functionality or is there any
command line utility available that does this? or any other
simple procedure to do this?
We want to give the client, simple instructions to deploy the report project.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
We receive data files from different external customers, and these files have identical layouts.
I'm planning to set up a package for each customer. Each package will contain a flat file source -> OLEDB transformation dataflow, (followed by other customer-specific data flows).
What I'd like to do is just create this dataflow once, parameterising the flat file and table names. Is it possible to include this dataflow in each customer package so that if the flat file layout changes, I can just modify the connection managers in the one place, and then recompile each package to pick up the changes?
Any advice appreciated.
