Cannot connect to any database either in Azure or Sql Server Management Studio

I'm unable to connect, this page just hangs on azure and from sql server management studio I get the following error - A Network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server,

Hello,
Before you can connect to your SQL Database server, you must use the
Windows Azure Platform Management Portal to configure the SQL Database firewall: on the Firewall Rules tab of the SQL database server, add the IP address of your computer into the IP address range.
What's more,Windows Azure SQL Database does not support Windows Authentication. Please use SQL Server authentication in your connection string.

  • 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.

  • Can not connect the database via query string (C#). The SQL Server Management Studio is showing the full path of a location instead of database name.

    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.
    : Robby

    Hi,
    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;

    Sorry, missed the message from the errorlog in the original post. You shouldn't have included that big .Net dump that hid the important facts. :-)
    My first Google attempt on that message (which I have never seen before) suggests that the TCP Enpoint is stopped, so try this:
    ALTER ENDPOINT [TSQL Default TCP]

  • SQL 2008 R2: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again

    When starting SQL Server 2008 R2 it hangs , and I cannot exit...so when  trying to logoff to reset I get the following "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again"Any
    ideas?

    Big edit...
    I have 2008 R2 SP2 installed on my Windows 7 Machine which is also fully updated.  The marked answer above is clearly not the solution.
    The fix I had posted before did not work.  It appeared to work temporarily, but now I am back to the same invisible dialogue.  I have not been able to identify any pattern by which this is triggered.  I can have an entire day without this
    issue and then it appears the next.
    The invisible modal dialogue is definitely the connection dialogue.  The only way out is to hit the escape key to close it, but then I am no better off without an ability to connect to a server.  The dialogue is still invisible when I re-open it.
    However, even as I type this post, I have just gotten the dialogue to appear after restarting Management Studio, hitting escape, then clicking connect again.  That same pattern failed just minutes ago numerous times.  Again, I can't find any pattern.
    See you in the clock tower.

  • Cannot launch SQL Server management studio

    Hi people,
    I cannot launch the sql server management studio. In the event log, appear the next entry:
    Faulting application ssmsee.exe, version 2005.90.2047.0, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.4053, fault address 0x0000e7a2.
    What can i do for repair this? Uninstall the sql instance? This affect to sap system installed?
    Other options?
    More thanks

    Hi Ruben,
    What is the MS SQL Server version and SP level ? Which windows server is it - 2000/2003/2008 - 32bit/64 bit ?
    Is the database/SAP up and running ?
    I got to see another old thread for similar problem from you. Is it a regular problem or just something happened recently ? Any configuration changes/any activity related to MS SQL Server or any OS changes done recently ? But as the link suggests in your old thread, may be you can give it a try or try upgrading the sql server to a higher SP level ?
    Starting SQL Server Management Studio Express
    If you are an SAP customer, I would suggest you to open a customer message if the problem is urgent and in productive/live landscape.
    Thanks

  • 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..

  • Problem to create "New Database Diagram" in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2012 SQL Express

    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?

    Hi 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
    See also the following for further details:

  • Using LV 8.6 to access database created in MS SQL Server Management Studio

    I am using Labview 8.6 to access a database created in MS SQL Server Mgmt Studio, using LabSQL ADO utilities. I don't have LV's add-on DB connectivity toolkit, but just the ADO utilities. Can i do it? If yes, how? I have no experience whatsoever in connecting and accessing data from a DB. An example would help.
    Thanks,

    Szi wrote:
    As for my opinion you cant access without DB connectivity toolkit.
    Nonsense.
    With LabSQL, you should first find an on-line SQL tutorial and refer to the Microsoft help files. I would recomend creating a UDL file. This is the connection string you use for the ADO Connection Open function. You might want to to get a little help from the db administrator. You'll certainly need help in getting a login and password.
    There are examples that come with LabSQL

  • Remove Deteled Databases from SQL Server Management Studio List

    Hi,
        I am using SQL Server Express 2008 Management Studio & in the databases list are some databases that are non existent (have been deleted in Windows Explorer). How do I remove them as trying to delete when logging in using Windows authentication
    fails?
    Thanks
    Paul.
    Paul Wainwright

    Hi pr_wainwright,
    I’m writing to follow up with you on this post. Was the problem resolved after performing our action plan steps? According to your description and error message, we need to verify if your windows login account has sysadmin permission. The error 3701 occurs
    when you use an account to execute the script who has not grant the permission about modifying database properties and creating database. I do a test, when the SQL Server Service is stop, I delete the data and log file of database from Windows Explorer, then
    restart the service again, and connect to the SQL Server instance via windows login account which is sysadmin role. In SSMS list, you can right click the database and choose “ delete” option. Or you also use the drop statement by using master database first.
    and two ways can all run well.

  • Cannot open table in sql server management studio express

    Hello all.
    I have uploaded a table into sql management studio express. However, when I right click on the table and try and open it, I get an error message saying;

    Executed SQL statement: select columnName1, columnName2 etc....

    Because of this error, I cannot manually edit the table. However, when I write a query running select * from Table X, the table does appear that way.
    Any help regarding how to open the table would be very much appreciated!!

  • Can't Remove Datasets From SQL Server Management Studio Restore Database Dialog

    Hello,
    I am trying to restore a database in MS SQL 2008 R2 Management Studio on a Windows 2008 server.
    - I right click the Databases folder and choose Restore Databases.
    - I select the From device radio button as usual and click Add.
    - I specify a .bck file as usual and click OK.
    - When I return to the Restore Database dialog are two backup sets already in the "Select backup location to restore" part of the dialog that I unsuccessfully tried to restore earlier already there.
    - I can see the path to the backup set that I want to add in the "From device" field of the "Restore Database" dialog. The backup is not listed in "Select backup location to restore" as it should be.
    - I tried restarting the SQL Server service and I rebooted the server but the files were still there when I tried to do a restore.
    - There is no option to remove the extra datasets in the "Select backup location to restore" part of the dialog. I am hoping that if I can remove the extra datasets that this will resolve the problem. Does anyone have any idea how to remove them?
    Martin Mann

    Hello,
    My issue was a bit different then your screenshot. I was able to choose a backup dataset with no problem from the "Select backup devices" dialog as you show in the screenshot. At that time the "Restore Database" dialog box you show in the background had
    no backup files, you show filetest1, filetest2. However after clicking the "Add" to files were listed in the "Restore Database" dialog neither of which was the one that I was trying to add. The problem was that the wrong files were listed in the "Restore Database"
    dialog and I couldn't remove them.
    The problem turned out to be two issues. I resolved the problem as follows:
    It turned out that someone had compressed my server c:\ drive and I was not aware of it. Disk compression and SQL server have conflicts. As I had never compressed a drive I didn't know that Windows Explorer displays compressed files in blue letters. So the
    first step was to decompress the drive. Which did not fix the problem.
    What had caused the files to show up was that I had somehow created a backup with two data sets in it. It seems that when SQL Server creates a backup one of the first things it does is check the drive for the required space and create an empty backup file
    the size of the backup to reserve the disk space. It seems that I had created a file that contained space for a backup but no data with another back with data behind it. When I looked at the backup file size in explorer it was almost twice the size it should
    have been.
    I resolved the problem by changing the path of the default backup folder. I was able to do a restore from there. Afterwords the default backup folder worked and the files listed were no longer there.
    Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help.

  • Can I compare two databases from within SQL Server Management Studio

    Hi everyone.  I haven't found anything online, so I wanted to ask here.  I have two SQL Server databases running on our server.  One is the production database, and another is my development database that I use when I'm working on the program. 
    I add tables and columns and stuff to my development database, and was wondering if anyone knew of an easy way to from within Management Studio or something to compare the two databases to make sure that they are the same and show me any differences. 
    I generally add tables or columns to both databases at the same time, but I worry that one time I might forget, so I would like to be able to run some sort of compare / check to make sure before releases...
    Thanks everyone for your help.  I greatly appreciate it.

    tablediff:
