Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database"
Hi, Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" ?
When I use Connect Object Explorer, the "Connect to Server" dialog box which pops up has only 4 selections in the Server Type Drop Down List. They are Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services & Integration Services. I have read
somewhere that there should be a compact database option. but I do not see it.
What I would like to do is use free form SQL Queries against the tables in "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" .
Once I have validated these queries, then I will use them in my Visual Studio 2012 C#, ASP.NET application. I created the Local Database using Visual Studio 2012 for use by my application.
Thank you for your help..

Hello,
With SSMS 2005 we have had the Option to work with SQL CE database files, but not with higher Version of SSMS.
You can use the free SQL CE Toolbax instead; see

Hi,
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express edition (name of installation media: en_sql_server_2012_express_edition_with_advanced_services_x64.exe) from MSDN and I have installed the application on my pc with Windows 7 Exterprise.
Everything is working fine except when I am trying to create "New Database Diagram", where I recieve following error message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop)
BUTTONS:
OK
I have tried two times to reinstall SQL Server 2012 Express and I have installed Cumulative Update #3 for SQL Server 2012 and restarted the machine, but I have still the same problem with the same error message.
Installed the following fixes:
1) 2012_RTM_DAC_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
2) SQLServer2012_RTM_CU3_2723749_11_0_2332_x64
These files was installed successful.
How can I solve the problem?

Jan NilssonHi Jan,
Have you installed Visual Studio in your machine?
The problem seems to be related to installing and uninstalling the VS 2011 RC0 program.
The workaround involves copying the files from another PC with SQL 2008 or 2012 from one machine to another. Just replace this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSDesigners8

I have a DB_BOX with SQL Server 2008 R2 installed. I can access the databases on the local machine using SQL Server Management Studio but it is not accessible from other machines, though the machines are in same domain.
I have remote enabled on SQL Server box, TCP enabled, firewall off. I checked with IP Address too, all SQL Server services are running.
The SQL Server log shows the message
The requested service has been stopped or disabled and is unavailable at this time. The connection has been closed.
I get the below message in SSMS from remote machine.

How to create a package without BIDS in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
I have inherited some SSIS packages that I found I can edit by opening the .dtsx file in my local copy of Microsoft SQL Server management studio. I then get Control Flow tab, Data Flow tab etc. I can add or change or delete any of the control
or data flows. I have found that if I use the same path to the local file where the packages are stored that exists on the server, I can edit the dtsx file on my local machine and copy the dtsx file to the server into the same directory structure and
sucessfully execute the package on the SQL 2008 server.
I have VS 2010 installed. I have read that I have to install VS 2008 to use BIDS from within VS. However, this has not worked out very well. Since I can basically create a new package by deleteing all of the control and data flows from
an existing package, I am in pretty good shape. However, I would just like to know if there is a way to create a new dtsx file from within Microsoft SQL Server management studio. Also one thing I have not been able to change is the event handler
name or package exploration name....it is just an annoyance since it does not cause any problems, just would like to be able to rename it.Hi Fred,
We cannot develop SSIS package in SQL Server Management Studio. If we use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, we can save it as a package but the package is rather simple.
We use Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) or SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to develop SSIS packages. To develop SSIS 2008 packages, we must use BIDS installed by SQL Server 2008, and the BIDS 2008 can only be integrated with Visual Studio 2008.
To develop SSIS 2012 packages, we use the SSDT installed by SQL Server 2012 which uses Visual Studio 2010 shell and can only be integrated with Visual Studio 2010.
Different versions of SSIS package have different package formats/schemas. If you can create SSIS packages project in you Visual Studio 2010, it means that you have installed SSDT already, and the packages you design are SSIS 2012 packages. If you open and
eidt SSIS 2008 packages in you Visual Studio 2010, the packages will be upgraded to SSIS 2012 package format. SSIS 2012 packages cannot be downgraded to SSIS 2008 packages or deployed to SSIS 2008 server.

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Dear Sir,
Where can I download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
to be used with SQL Server 2012 Express using windows 8.1?
I have tried /www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
But the available download for 64 bits is Microsoft SQL server management Studio 2008.
When I try to install it I get an error of incompatibility with w8.1.
Regards,
Hector RoviraHi HRovira,
According to your description, before you install SQL Server on a computer that is running Windows 8.1 , as other post, you must apply SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 or a later update. For installing SQL Server 2012, you should enable .NET Framework 3.5,
There is detail about how to install SQL Server 2012 on Windows 8.1, you can review the following article.
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/47548d/how-to-install-sql-server-2012-on-windows-8-1/
To obtain SQL Server 2012 SP1, go to the following Microsoft website:

SQL Server Management Studio - Configuring the environment for first time use
Hi
I have recently switched my local 'My Documents' folder location to a network drive that I 'make available off line' to allow on-line/off-line work and synchronisation when I am working in and out of the office.
When I load my SQL Server Management Studio 2005 I frequently get 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is configuring the environment for first time use'.
Management Studio them loads and I can continue without problem.
I am guessing it is trying to make reference to some settings file. Any ideas? I wonder if I can change/move these settings elsewhere to a local drive?
ThanksHi,
There is bug report of this issue:
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/126364/configuring-enviroment-for-the-first-time-every-time-in-ms-sql-server-management-express
"SQL Server Management Studio Express saves the settings for the user in ...\Documents and Settings\<User Profile>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
and in ...\Documents and Settings\<user profile>\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
if any of these files are not available or unusable, SSMSE will generate new ones."
Hope this helps.

Find Connection String used by SQL Server Management Studio
I am having problems getting my VS C# .NET application to connect to a SQL Server Database, even though I can connect to it (on the same machine) using SQL Server Management Studio.
Is there any way I can find the connection string that SQL Server Management Studio generates when it connects?Hi,
As you have Visual Studio on your machine, I think we can also use the Visual Database Tools of Visual Studio to generate the connection string.
Please:
1. Create a new data connection to the SQL Server database in the
Server Explorer of Visual Studio
2. After the connection is established, right-click on the connection name and select
Properties. There is an item called Connection String in the
Properties window.

I can not connect to the database via C#. The database is showing full path of the database file instead of the database name. See the pic: a database showing only name 'emart' and the other database showing the full path.
: RobbyHi,
According to your post, I know that the database name is showing file path of the database rather than the database name in SQL Server Management Studio. You were not able to
establish a connection to the database using C#.
As Olaf said, was any error message thrown out when the connection failed? How did you create these databases?
You can use the following T-SQL to attach the database and see if the issue persists.
CREATE DATABASE
databasename
ON (FILENAME = 'filepath _Data.mdf'),
(FILENAME = 'filepath_Log.ldf')
FOR ATTACH;
Thanks.

Error Message from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
I have problem editing the views that I created. I never have this problem before and I don't know if
I have touched something on the pane that alters my viewing on Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. For example, if I want to edit the top 200 rows of my view called dbo.sl_admission_reg9, it will give me this error:
Invalid prefix of suffix characters (MS Viual Database Tools).
Please help.
Thank you very much.
SallyAre you trying to edit the top 200 rows of a SQL Server 2012 database using the 2008 R2 SQL Server Management
Stud? If so you just need to upgrade SQL Server Management Studio to 2012 or edit the rows using a SQL query.

Suddenly the mSSQL-server has stopped working, and the application doesn't have any connection to it.
Also, I cant connect locally via SQL Server Management Studio.
Any ideas on where to start?
Have SQL Server 2008 R2Try DAC first:

If that fails, go to Configuration Manager and restart the server.

How to find a record then edit using sql server management studio
Hello,
A very basic question:
I want to find a record stored in MS SQL Server 2008 express database table then edit the record.
I tried to do it using SQL Server 2008 management studio express because I have been using MS Access database all the time. I have right clicked the table in management studio, clicked the "Edit top 200 records" menu item then when records were
displayed on the result pane, I pressed Ctrl + F key to find a student named Simon for example. Well, nothing happened. I couldn't see any dialog boxes for putting in the search criteria.
I guess I cannot simply use Ctrl+F in SQL Server management studio to find / edit a record.
Can someone please teach me how to find a record specifying a search criteria then edit the record in SQL server management studio?Hi ZKM128,
I have not seen Ctrl+F to be used to look for desired rows in Sql server.
On the result pane after you selected "Edit top 200 records", just right click , select
PANE, SQL, you will get the T-Sql query t,here you need to mention the exact criteria which you are looking for, and then you will get the desired rows and then you can edit.
Thanks

Import multiple files using sql server management studio
Using sql server management studio I want to do 2 things.
- Import all txt files from a directory as tables into my DB.
- Add an additional field to each new table which contains the table name.
Can anyone help me?There are couple of ways to do it:
File naming conventions : YourFileName_SystemId.txt
You can create one extra column in table or may be name a table with system id. Then after loading the data you can update that column with the system id.
components required:
ForEachLoopContainer - To get file and store file name in a variable
Expression Task (if SSIS 2012 or above) or variable expression or script task to seperate file name from systemId
Data Flow Task - to load data
Execute SQL Task - to update last column or specific table based on precedence constraints
Note: You can also add extra column in data flow via
derived column transformation.
Ex.:
Load file via foreach loop
Split string via seprator
2: Loading different system file in different folder
you can have predefined folder structure ex: SystemId1, SyetemId2 etc and can download respective txt file in their system folder. Then you can easily identity which file belong to which system and then load it to the respective table.
3: Use first row of text file to hold the system value
Use first row to have the system id and then skip row while fetching data.
Note: Then you have to read first row through script task to get the system id.
hope this will help
