Permission to change the design of a table

Hi,
We are having Sql server 2008 in clustered environment. I logged in and tried to change the design of the table. I have
the rights as a database owner for my login. But when I tried to change the design of the table in SSMS I got the following error-:
Saving changes not permitted. The change you have made require the table to be dropped or recreated. You either
made changes to a table that can't be recreated or enabled the option prevent saving changes that require table to
be recreated.
How to overcome the problem?

You overcome the problem by staying out of the table designer. The reason that the roadblock is there is that the code that generates the table changes by creating a new instance of the table and copy data over has some very fundamental bugs and you should
absolutely not use it. And least of all in a cluster, that is, in production! It's a toy tool, and Microsoft should have taken it out long ago. As just one example: the tool will only use ALTER TABLE in situations where it would work on SQL 6.5!
So use SQL scripts to make your table changes. Preferably with ALTER TABLE. Writing scripts where you copy all data is doable, but it requires a good understanding of what can go wrong. Or a long maintenance window that permits you to restore a backup if
things go south.

Change the DB_LOCATION of a Table in Mapping after Copying it

Hello!
Does anybody know how to change the property DB_LOCATION for table in a mapping after copying it to another modul withhin the same project with OMB PLUS.
After copying the mapping all objects still points to the old objects in the repository. But this objects are now in the wrong module. I have the same repository objects also in the new module and i want to change the mapping operator to point to the objects in the new module.
In the mapping editor you achieve this by reconciling the mapping object with the new object in the other module. How can i do this with OMB PLUS?
Thanks in advance
Alexander

Hi Alexander
After copying a table to a different module, edit the module to set the data location, configure the module to define the location and synchronize the mapping to use this table.
In OMB to synchronize inbound and outbound use OMBSYNCHRONIZE command
Inbound:
OMBSYNCHRONIZE TABLE '$OMB_CURRENT_PROJECT/SALES/TABY' TO MAPPING 'M_W_PARAMS' OPERATOR 'TABY' USE (RECONCILE_STRATEGY 'REPLACE', MATCHING_STRATEGY 'MATCH_BY_OBJECT_NAME')
Outbound:
OMBSYNCHRONIZE MAPPING 'M_W_PARAMS' OPERATOR 'TABX' TO TABLE '$OMB_CURRENT_PROJECT/SALES/TABX' USE (RECONCILE_STRATEGY 'REPLACE', MATCHING_STRATEGY 'MATCH_BY_OBJECT_NAME')

Visual Studio 2013 crash when I attempt to change the Design Language

I have a localized Windows Forms application. When I attempt to change the Design Language from German to anything else Studio hangs. Where is this setting persisted so I can manually edit the setting outside of Studio? This is in VS 2013.
AliciaV

Hi AliciaV,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
When I attempt to change the Design Language from German to anything else Studio hangs.
Could you share us a screen shot about the settings where you change the design language? Do you mean that you change it under the TOOLS->Options like the following screen shot?
We often change the default language like the above screen shot.
Reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246590.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kycbhy5d.aspx
If so, the real issue we need to check is that why the VS crash.
To make sure that whether it is your Environment issue or the VS IDE issue:
Please run your VS in safe mode, check it again.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
Please run your VS as the admin.
Please also close other processes or third party tools in your windows, and make sure that your task manager is free. Remove/disable all add-ins in your VS IDE.
Please also install the VS2013 Update 2.
In addition, you also need to make sure that you installed the specific language package:

How can I change the OWNER of a table?

How can I change the OWNER of a table entr2009mm ?
Resp. the OWNER of all TABLES whose tablename match the pattern *2009* ?
Peter

Hello,
There're different posiibilities, Export/Import can do it.
But, if it's not a too large Table, you can use CTAS (from a user with DBA privilege for instance).
Create Table <schema_target>.<table_name> as select * from <shema_source>.<table_name>;Then, you have to recreate the dependent objects (Index, ...) and drop the Source Table.
If you have a set of Tables, it's better to use Export/Import.
Hope this help.
Best regards,

Has Apple changed the design of the iPhone 6 silicone case?

I need to purchase a new case for my iPhone 6, i was going to purchase the black silicone case, however the reviews say the case starts peeling after a few months.
Does anyone know if Apple has changed the design of this case since it was released, to fix the peeling issue? Also for people who have purchased one in the last few months, has your case started peeling?

I exactly measured the weight on a kitchen scale. It weighs 17 grams. The iPhone 6 (64GB Black T-Mobile) weighs 126 grams on my scale. So it does add 13.5% weight to the iPhone. It also adds 2mm to the thickness (6.9mm to 8.9mm). But the protection is actually very good for this amount of small bulk (search youtube for the 10 feet drop test video, where almost zero damage happens to both the iPhone and the case). The case has a premium soft-touch feel in hand, much better than the cheap plastic feel of third-party case in my view. The case can be easily cleaned by a damp cloth and shows zero wear after a month use.

Changing the column order in Table UI

Hi I researched a lot and since my ALV didnt work Im back to Table ui . I implemented sorting and Export to Excel functionalities in table ui element just like in ALV. But now The client also wants to have the ability to change the order of columns of the table (like in ALV under settings link).
Could someone just direct me to a proper tutorial or something where i can see the tutorial and make it please.
Thanks.

Ok.Just one thing. When we right click on the table on screen then it opens up a user settings where the user can adjust user-specific settings.
Im just planning to do this. Ill give them this settings with a button on the top of the table. So basically even if i know that the user settings of the table can be opened by right clicking that .But it'll be great if I can put that action of opening up the user settings popup in a button onaction event and placing that button on top of the table.

How do I change the order of input tables in joiner?

I have 3 input tables in a JOINER, how can I change the order? for instance, the order now is: t1, t2, t3, for some reason, I want to change to t3, t2,t1.
I use outer join among tables, different table order cause OWB generated different sql statement.
Please help! Thanks.

Unfortunately you cannot... The only way is to remove one group, then create a new one instead and re-connect the group...

Is it possible to change the data of Pivot Table?

Hello,
I want to develop an excel add-in in .net and want to show the data to user using "Pivot Table".
Is there a way in which I can allow the user to change the cell values of the "Pivot Table" without changing the source data?
Any guidance is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Vinay,
As far as I know, it's not possible. We can only change those Pivot Table cells that belong to Row Label or Column Label. But we can't change the Value cells. You'll get some errors like "Cannot change this part of a Pivot Table report".
If you just want to display a report with some changes to the original Pivot Table report, I would recommend that you copy the data from the Pivot Table to another worksheet, then modify the values.
