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

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

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]
STATE=STARTED;

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

How to recover deleted attached mdf file from sql server management studio

Hi everyone
I've faced very bad problem
I had a mdf file that created in visual studio, and then I had attached this file to sql server management studio and after that, when I wanted to deattach
this file I had a big mistake; and deleted the mdf file; then now this file was deleted from my computer
I test several recovery tools but they can't find deleted mdf file; the volume of the mdf file was more than 2 GB.
Please help me if you can

Hello,
If you don't have a backup of the database, then it's not really possible to get it back. There are some "Undelete" Tools available for Windows, but when even only one page was overwritten on disk, then it's not possible to recover it.

Can't Use SQL Server Management Studio

Hello, all. I'm having trouble with SSMS in SQL Server 2014. I was using it just the other day for my database class, and today when I tried using it, SSMS opened, but the login window didn't appear. It isn't hidden behind any other windows that I can see,
but apparently it is somewhere, because when I click on the SSMS window, anywhere, I get the telltale "ding" sound that tells me that there's a modal window opened that is blocking this window from taking the focus.
I got frustrated with it enough that I uninstalled SQL Server 2014, and reinstalled it, and I still have the same problem. I'm on a Surface Pro 3, so I've got Win8.1 installed (have not installed 10 yet - don't think I will at this point yet). Does anyone
have any suggestions as to how I can get the modal login window to show? I even tried opening a .sql file, and while it opens in the window, I still can't do anything because it still seems that the modal login window is blocking it from taking the focus.

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.

How to register VSPackage into SQL Server Management Studio?

Hi All,
I am a newer to VSPackage, I want to create a VSPackage for SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS), now I can create a VSPackage project and debug it in Visual Studio but don't know how to debug it in SQL Server Management Studio and how to deploy VSPackage to
SSMS by MSI? Thanks

By the way I find a extension.vsixmanifest file and some .pkgdef files under
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Extensions\ folder, and they are very similar with VSPackage files. Do know this is useful or not.
Hi Vic Zhang,
After some research, There are some notes. SQL Server Management Studio is built upon the Visual Studio Isolated Shell, which inherently supports extensibility (add-ins/plug-ins). It is possible to tap into the Visual Studio extensibility services to surface
custom capabilities within SQL Server Management Studio; however, we do not discourage this, keep in mind that such extensibility is not supported, so there may be issues with backward/forward compatibility. Microsoft does not publish documentation for extending
SQL Server Management Studio.
If you want to debug VSPackeage about SSMS, I recommend you debug in Visual Studio and not in SSMS, open the project and attach to the process of SSMS.exe, then debug it.
About the issue of finding the “RootKey”, a .pkgdef file is way to encapsulate application configuration information in an easily editable, distributable, and deployable form. And it registers the Extension Manager (which is written as a VS Package). If
you install SQL Server 2012, the .pkgdef of SSMS is located in the following path, you can check the “RootKey” in this .pkgdef file.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio
There is detail about a PkgDef, you can review the following article.

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.

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

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?
Thanks

How to fix SQL Server Managment Studio?

Background:
I am still fairly new to MS SQL (2012). Our company is converting from Sybase to MS SQL next month and I have been trying out tools to hook our code repository to the database code. I have tried RedGate SQL Source Control and Agent SVN.
I was having issues linking the RedGate product to our biggest converted test database and was waiting on their support so I uninstalled it to tried Agent SVN. It seamed to work fairly well. When RedGate got back to me I uninstalled Agent SVN.
The Problem:
After I did that, SSMS would no longer start up. When accessed either from a command prompt of by directly clicking on the application, nothing happens. When clicking on the product in windows explorer, the cursor might change for a split second.
My Attempts to Fix:
I started by trying to repair SSMS. No change.
I then uninstalled and reinstalled SSMS. No change.
I then uninstalled SSMS, uninstalled all things .net, uninstalled all visual C++ items that were installed the same day and the original SSMS install and reinstalled SSMS. Still no change.
Short of reformatting and reinstalling everything on my development computer, I am out of ideas.

Hi,
Have you tried to launch the SQL Server Management Studio by click Ssms.exe directly in the following path?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe
If you have system restore enabled on your machine, you may restore the system to previous time and see if it helps.
To restore system will preserve all the software and files before the previous restore point. And all of your private date will be preserved.

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
