Open (.sdf) file with SQL server 2005 Management Studio

In VS2005, I have created a SQL Mobile database, (.sdf).
Copied that (.sdf) file to Desktop, and when I try to open with SQL Server 2005 management studio, its showing error "make sure the application for the file type (.sdf) is installed."
How can I open this file with SQL server?
Regards
Abinash

You must install SP2 if using Management Studio Express (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6053C6F8-82C8-479C-B25B-9ACA13141C9E&displaylang=en)Erik Ejlskov Jensen, MCTS: WM App, MCITP: SQL 2008 Dev - http://erikej.blogspot.com

How to open sdf files in SQL server 2012?
I couldn’t figure out how to open the sdf files in SQL server 2012
Thank you

I don't think it's hard if understood the question properly you can try this I do it most of the time and this might be the solution for you, sometimes minor simple click is a life saver:)
1.
Open SQL Server Management Studio, or if it's running select File -> Connect Object Explorer... and click the
connect drop down arrow
2.
In the Connect to Server dialog you will see Database Enghine, Analaysis Servie on so on and you go head change Server type to
SQL Server Compact Edition
3.
From the Database file drop-down as shown below click the drop down arrow and select <
Browse for more...>
4.
And you will see C:\, D:\, G:\
drive and so on and open, your SDF file where it is located
I hope this has been informative for you and good luck

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:Importing XML file to new Table of new Database-XML parsing: unexpected end of input???

Hi all,
In the Notepad, I created an xml file (ZenQroducts.xml) :
<Qroducts>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>1</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>2</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>3</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Qroduct>
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, I executed the following code:
--to create a new object Qroducts in a new database OPENXMLtesting
CREATE DATABASE OPENXMLtesting
GO
CREATE TABLE Qroducts(
sku INT Primary KEY,
qroduct_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Qroducts (sku, qroduct_desc)
SELECT X.qroduct.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.qroduct.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenQroducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Qroducts/Qroduct') AS X(qroduct);
SELECT sku, qroduct_desc
FROM Qroducts;
I got the following message:
Msg 9400, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
XML parsing: line 13, character 12, unexpected end of input
I have no ideas why I got this "XML parsing:line 13, character12, unexpected end of input" message. Please kindly help, advise me on where I made mistake and how I can resolve this problem, and respond in this Forum.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Manish, Thanks for your response.
Yes, it is a duplicate with Qroducts/Qroduct instead of Products/Product. I did it, because I don't know how to remove the existing "Products" database.
Again, I got the existing "Qroducts" database in this second trial!!?? I am comletely lost in doing "Importing XML file to SQL Table" now!! I think that I have not touched T-SQL and XML programming, since 2008. I
did not catch the new features of T-SQL 2008, XML, SQL/XML, XQuery, etc. for long time. Recently, I did not know what DECLARE, @x, SET,...were, and dived into the SQL/XML and XQuery programming. I knew the SQL Basics (SELECT, FROM, WHERE,..), creating
the names of databases and tables in SQL Server 2008/2012 Management Studio (Express) before. This morning, I found an old T-SQL 2008 Prgrammer's Guide that has the new features of SQL Server 2008 for T-SQL, XML, XQuery, etc. I just starting reading
it to know what DECLARE, @x, SET,... are. But, I still don't know where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" (created by me) are - they are not in the Databases of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio I am using!!?? Could
you please kindly point out where the "Products" and "Qroducts" databases are?
Prashanth responded to my posted question too and he asked to to try his code: DECLARE @xml XML, SELECT @xml =' <Qroducts>.....SELECT product.value.....FROM @XML.nodes.....AS.... I just learned that his code is doing the thing we
want to do and print the results below the SQL Query. This is not what I need in doing my SQL/XML programming. I am reading/studying the new (2008) features of T-SQL, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (Second Edition), and Microsoft XQuery Language Reference
(SQL Server 2012 Books Online) closely now. I hope that I can resume the T-SQL, XML Query, SQL/XML, XQuery in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio soon.
Please tell me where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" I created in my previous trials in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio. This is what I need to know and to delete them, before I do this kind of "Importing
XML file to Table of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio" programming again.
Please kindly help, advise and respond again.
Many Thanks,
Scott Chang

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio: Import XML File to SQL Table - XML parsing: illegal qualified name character

Hi all,
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, I executed the following code:
CREATE TABLE Products(
sku INT Primary KEY,
product_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Products (sku, product_desc)
SELECT X.product.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.product.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenProducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Products/Product') AS X(product);
SELECT sku, product_desc
FROM Products;
I got the following message:
Msg 9455, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
XML parsing: line 3, character 12, illegal qualified name character
I have no ideas why the "product" in the statement "SELECT X.product.query('SKU').value('.','INT')" is not legal qualified name charcter!!!??? Please kindly help, advise and respond.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Manish, Thanks for your response.
Here is a copy of my ZenProducts.xml:
<Products>
<Product>
<SKU>1<</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>2<</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>3<</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Product>
I found the wrong "<<" in my xml file and changed it to the right "<" for the statement<SKU>1</sku>. I executed the corrected code and I got the following new message:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 1
There is already an object named 'Products' in the database.
I don't know how to remove the old, existing the 'Products' object in the database and execute the corrected code again. Please kindly help, advise and tell me how to resolve this new problem.
Many Thanks,
Scott Chang
P. S. I played with another project to get the 'Products' object in my database before. Frankly, I don't know where the old 'Products' object and the database are. Please enlighten me in resolving this matter more clearly.
You welcome Scott, As Olaf mentioned in this post, there was already a table exists , so need to drop your Products table.
Apart from this, I guess either you did not pasted the full XML file or what, I needed to have the ( </Products>)closing tag in your XML file as follows.
<Products>
<Product>
<SKU>1</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>2</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>3</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Product>
</Products>
You can use following script to drop if your
Products table is already existing.
if exists(select 1 from sys.tables where name ='Products')
drop table Products
CREATE TABLE Products(
sku INT Primary KEY,
product_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Products (sku, product_desc)
SELECT X.product.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.product.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenProducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Products/Product') AS X(product);
SELECT sku, product_desc
FROM Products;
Let us know if you face any other problem.

ODI 10.1.3.5 with SQL Server 2005

Good afternoon,
We recently installed 10.1.3.5, in a Windows environment with SQL Server 2005 and Hyperion Essbase/Planning/HFM 11.1.1. We were following John Goodwin's infamous blog (thanks, John!), but ran into a number of snags.
For instance, when we set-up interfaces with flat files as the source, loading metadata either to Planning or Essbase, ODI errors out when:
1) our header name in the flat file has spaces (using double quotes didn't work)
2) our header name in the flat file is different than the reverse property name from Essbase/Planning.
Also, we're now seeing an issue in our Flat file to Essbase metadata interface where the SQL used in the IKM seems to be incorrect. Below is the error message we're receiving:
"org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 20, in ?
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements,
look for empty alias names. Aliases defined as "" or [] are not allowed. Add a name or single space as the alias name."
We are thinking that the culprit may be either the wrong .jar or .jre we're using with SQL Server 2005, as there seem to be inherent issues with the SQL generated in the LKM and IKM. Our questions to you:
1. What sqljdbc.jar driver version are you using?
2. What .jre version are you using?
3. What environment does the above work correctly in? (perhaps an earlier version of ODI against an earlier version of Hyperion?)
FYI - We have tried sqljdbc 1.0 and 2.0, with .jre 1.6.0_10.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for responding!
After a 2 week battle, we are now finally coming to a close on our issues (although we cannot say for sure what all of the causes were).
Here is what we discovered about our questions, through other threads:
1. John Goodwin was using JRE 1.6.x, so we ruled that out as a culprit.
2. Others are using SQL Server 2005 just fine with ODI, so we ruled this out too. We chose to keep the sqljdbc 2.0 driver.
Here are some issues we did uncover during our investigation:
1. We were having issues with our agent, specifically regarding the HFM technology. We created a new one, added a few extra parameters, compiled the agent, and are now back up and running. We realized the problem when we switched to "Local (No Agent)" and saw that we were not having as many issues.
2. We went into the physical agent and pressed "Update Scheduling". We do not know if this had any effect, but we suddenly noticed that our flat file header issues were resolved.
3. The Essbase issue was due to a configuration error with our Hyperion Essbase physical technology. We went into that technology and changed a setting on the "Languages" tab, called "Object Delimiter". It had double-quotes in it - we removed that parameter and instantly saw a change in the SQL being executed.
4. Some of the mappings in our interfaces needed to be executed on different environments. i.e. - We needed to switch to "staging" when the flat file header was different than the target column name. Newbie mistake - we thought ODI had built-in intelligence to choose correctly for us.
5. When doing a reverse on Essbase models, we noticed that the Essbase columns would populate with an "Undefined" datatype, instead of the expected CHAR. We have to manually define all column datatypes after every Essbase reverse now. Must be a bug.
6. We also noticed when doing a flat file reverse that all columns auto-populate with datatype STRING, length 50. We have to manually personalize that option for different Hyperion applications, based on need. i.e. - some require numeric datatypes, or smaller/larger lengths. This was obviously a newbie error. :)
Thank you for your tip on the MS SS2005 JDBC drivers - we will look into your other options - IMHO, JTDS, etc.

Am failing to install Java IDM in a Windows XP machine with SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I am new to Java IDM . I had downloaded IDM 7.0 and trying to install. But i am failing to install Java IDM in a Windows XP machine with SQL Server 2005.
I used .,
JDK 1.5
Tomcat 6.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver
I got the following error while trying to connect the waveset database with Repository type as SQL Server 2005(JDBC Driver)
com.waveset.util.ConfigurationError:

what name i can specify in JDBC ... is there any need to create DSN for that ...........

Do you have your SQL server set to Windows Authentication mode only?
You should change it to allow mixed authentication. You can do this in SQL Server Management Studio under Server Properties -> Security.

EPM 11 Configuration with SQL Server 2005

Hello,
I am having a terrible time trying to get the EPM System Configurer to communicate with SQL Server 2005 Evalution. I keep getting the error "Cannot open database "server" requested by the login. The login failed." I have the windows firewall turned off. The protocol TCPIP is turned on and other protocal are turned off. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

As John mentioned it is supposed to be supported in a future release. That version would be 11.2 -- there will be a version coming out before 11.2 and it will not support 2008.

The JDBC-ODBC bridge wasn't recognizing any of the primary keys I had set up in SQL Server. After lots of head banging, here's the solution I came up with:
1. Download the appropriate driver. SQL Server 2000 requires the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=07287B11-0502-461A-B138-2AA54BFDC03A&displaylang=en).
SQL Server 2005 download: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en)
3. After installing, right-click on "Libraries" in your project, and choose "Add Library...". Next, give it a name (i.e. SQLServer2000), and select "Class Libraries".
4. On the next screen, find the JAR files (should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\), and add them under the "Classpath" tab. It will now be available under "Libraries" for future projects.
5. You can now create a connection to a specific database under the "Services" tab (next to "Projects" and "Files" in the top left of the screen). Select "Microsoft Sql Server 2000 (Microsoft Driver)" and format the "Database URL" like this:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver//YOURSERVER:1433;DatabaseName=YOURDATABASE
1433 is the default port, though your DBA may have changed it.
I posted a simpler version of this on the NetBeans.org FAQ page - they had the following title with no content on the answer page:
"Cannot Select Tables From MsSql 2000 Because It Says No Primary Key Next To Each Table But The Tables DO Have A Primary Key. What Do I Do?"

Hi All !We have some problems with Crystal Reports version 8.5 with SQL Server 2005: 1) When we want to generate a report (using data in SQL Server 2005) we have a popup message error : "impossible to loaded pdssql.dll".2) If we want to use SQL Server 2005, which Crystal Reports version we must used ? Is there any restrictions with this connectivity with 8.5 version ?Please, let me known, all informations about SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Report 8.5.Thanks for all !Best regards Anthony

Hello Kamlesh,
There is no expectation that the ActiveX viewer (RDC?) from CR8.5 will work in any version of Visual Studio .NET. There is also no expectation that the ActiveX viewer from CR8.5 will work on a machine with a 64 bit operating system.
You're using VS2008. You should migrate to the bundled edition of CR for VS2008 (v10.5), the ReportDocument object, and the .NET Windows form viewer or Web form viewer.
