SQL Management Studio Installation Problems

My hard drive crash and I'm forced to use Windows 8 on my laptop for a while. Visual Studio 2012 installed okay but I cannot get the SQL Management Studio to install.
I have SQL Management Studio 2005 CD's and I've also tried to download and install the 2008 version.
But no matter what I do I cannot get one to them to install and run. It always tells me I have compatibility problems.
I'm desperate. I need this to work.
Can someone please tell me how to get SQL Management Studio 2005 32 or 64 bit to run on on this Window 8 box?
Or any version of SQL Management Studio to install and run.
BTW, I've tried running in compatibility mode.

FIrst of all, please notice that SSMS 2005 will probably not fit windows 8, but I am not sure about this (the SQL
Server 2005 do not fit). Please check this link before you wasted your time :-)
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
"SQL Server 2005 (the release version and service packs) and earlier versions of SQL Server are not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. You will receive a warning in the Action Center if Windows 8.1
or Windows 8 detects an instance of SQL Server 2005."
You can use any version from 2008 and above.
* If you are using 2008 express, then you must manually install Service Pack 3, after you install SQL Server 2008 Express Edition. In any case we are not at that point since your issue is with the installation itself :-)
**** For our case *****
1. You did not post your errors log till this time :-(
You only gave us stories, and no facts
2. If you are using the free edition EXPRESS, then you probably be better with the new version SQL EXPRESS 2014.
* You are talking about the SSMS which is not the SQL Server, but just a client application. Do you have a server to connect to?
if not, then you probably wanted to install the SQL Server with the SSMS tool, no?
You can get the new version (no so new) 2014 here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299
There are several files to download there:
* SQLEXPRADV: include the SQL Server and all the extra tools (including the server, Express Tools, Reporting Services, and Full Text Search, and more), is my prefered option for all developers and people that learn and use the SQL Server locally.
* SqlLocalDB: This is a different version that is much better for developers in most cases which they need to store the database in the application, it came to replace the EXPRESS "user instance".
* SQLManagementStudio: this is only the SSMS without the server!
* SQLEXPRWT: this is the basic version which include the basic tools
* SQLEXPR: this is only the server (this is what people install on production in lot of cases, when they do not want any extra tools)
*** If you have option to use windows 8.1 instead of 8, then you will feel that it is easier. I have to say that I too don't like the windows 8/8.1/2012/2012r2 but the 8.1/2012r2 brought back some of the old features and are better.

Different row counts between SQL management studio and Visual Studio

Hi
I'm pulling data from a NAV database using a stored procedure containing a Pivot (due to bad table design), the problem is my SQL management studio is returning 53 rows of records yet Visual studio is only returning 5.
I initially copied the query from management studio into VS to create my dataset, however after returning very few records I used a stored procedure instead.
Unfortunately the same result occurred, 5 records instead of 53,
Is there something different between the two systems, perhaps VS doesn't like something in the Pivot?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Charlie

Hi Satheesh, Latheesh
I'm using a shared data source in VS, the server and database are definitely pointed to the right location. As is the Stored procedure/SQL query. The table names "PositiveRelease" are bespoke to us and therefore are easy to recognise.
Below is one of the 5 records from the VS report:
Mobile User Code
Customer No
Item No
Failure Step Code
Depot Date
PP_GY
102980
S10586
DEPOT_DATE
17/02/14
Below is the record from the SQL management studio, you can see it is pulling through matching records.
Mobile User Code
Customer No_
Item No_
Failure Step Code
DEPOT_DATE
PP_GY
102980

How to connect to SP2010 content database from SQL Management Studio?

I would like to migrate the SP 2010 Foundation content to 2013 Foundation.
Both default installations with no external SQL server.
When trying to connect from SQL Management Studio Express 2008 I get the error below.
I'm using windows authentication and my domain admin account.
tried all the steps from
this guide.
What am I doing wrong here?
Cannot connect to (local).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not connect from SQL Management Studio Express 2008.
Please try to connect to <MACHINENAME>\SQLEXPRESS or .\SQLEXPRESS instead of (local).

Exporting table SQL Management Studio

I am trying to export a table in a database in SQL Management Studio, However when I import de flat file it has 37 million rows but when I export the table to another flat file, then I get 62 million rows. Does anyone know what the problem is? or what
should I do?

Hello,
Can you examine the file with the 62 million rows using the following utility?

Deploy SQL Management Studio 2012 through SCCM

Hello,
Has anyone successfully deployed SQL Management Studio 2012 with SCCM?
A couple of specific questions:
- Which folder from the SQL Media is required to ensure that only Management Studio deploys (we would like to limit the size of the deployment Package)?
- What command line options do we need to use to install the Advanced version of Management Studio with all of the Tools and Books Online. I have found the following but there is not a clear distinction about what is required and what is optional:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
- Can someone confirm the following command line options for machine that has 2008 R2 Management Studio on it?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools
- Can someone confirm the following command line options for a new installation of 2012 Management Studio?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=Install /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools
- Do I need to use /PID for the product key if I am only installing Management Studio?
Thank you,
Matt

Hello,
I had a couple of failed upgrades involving SSMS while testing on one of my laptops with a Hyper-V machine. I couldn’t blog about it because I couldn’t find the reason myself. I ended uninstalling the tools on SQL Server 2008 R2, and then proceeding with the
upgrade. Both issues occurred with RC0. I used Hyper-V snapshots to create restore points.
Besides that I had some issues enabling .NET Framework on Windos Server 8 using the GUI. However, enabling .NET Framework from the command prompt works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

PLEASE HELP..So you mean you are trying to connect to SQL Server.
Right. Well this isn't a SQL Server administration support site. So you need to find one for your SQL Server administration problem.
Also I would recommend you use one of the free type 4 (pure Java) JDBC drivers for connecting to SQL Server rather than the ODBC bridge driver.
Good luck in your searching!

AUto-renaming mdf & ldf filenames when restoring a database with SQL Management Studio

Hi!
I am using SQL Management Studio 2014 and I am experiencing some problems when restoring a database backup.
I have a SQL Server 2008R2 & SQL Server 2012 instances.
On the 2012 instance, when I restore a database and rename it into a new name, the mdf and ldf files get automatically renamed into the new database name : Great, this is the behavior that I expect.
On the 2008R2 instance, the mdf and ldf files don't automatically get renamed to match the new database name and I have to perform the renaming manually - pretty annoying.
Has anybody experienced this problem ? If yes, do you know of a fix ?
Thank you
Frederic

Hi,
You are using an external tool (SSMS GUI interface) which give you some behaviors like default names. this is very simple, just use a simple query to restore the database and dont use the GUI if you dont like its behavior
(this behavior might change from time to time). You can use the profiler to make sure what is
the real query that the SSMS sent to the server.

SQL Management Studio -- Windows open off-screen!

I used to have three monitors hooked up to this computer, now I only have two. Most applications don't have any problem with this, except SQL Management Studio which keeps opening windows off the right-hand side of the screen which are impossible to move back on-screen! All I can do is right-click the window in the taskbar, then choose "maximize" to temporarily work with the window. (I don't want the window maximized, but that's the only way to make it visible!) Import/Export data wizard window does this, as does the "add new users to DB" window.
How do I reset window locations in SQL Management Studio? This is getting extremely annoying. And please, please fix this bug! It's the year 2007, your program should be able to cope with multiple monitors! (Imagine how many laptop users who hot-swap monitors all the time are running into this.)
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry if I gave the immpression that you couldn't move your screen around - and I did look into the bug. I would never knowingly lie to anyone. Once again, I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Microsoft has looked into the bug, and in fact, we've done a lot of work on the mulitple monitor support in SQL Server 2008, as I mentioned in my post. You should see an improvement there.
- Buck
Your last reply on this thread was telling me that, and I quote: "SSMS has no notion of monitors - it just uses whatever Windows says are there. If you will remove the monitor from the video card settings then SSMS will not show the screens on something that does not exist." Which is incorrect, as my screenshot in the next post proved. Normally when people make a claim, and it's refuted, they respond in some fashion.
The annoyance is that it took a full year (and an irate post from me) for you to respond to that screenshot, and it still seems like you're unclear about the issue. It has nothing at all to do with "I can't move my screen around". Let's review the repro instructions one more time:
1) Start with a computer running Windows XP Pro and three monitors plugged in, arranged in a horizontal line. The center monitor is the default.
2) Open SSMS. Maximize it in the left-most monitor.
3) In the Object Browser, select a database, expand "Security", expand "Users", then right-click in the list and select "New User"
4) Move the New User window to the right-most monitor and maximize it.
5) Close SSMS, then re-open it and bring up the New User window again. Notice that SSMS saves the window position so that it continues to open on the right-most monitor. (This is good!)
6) Now unplug the right-most monitor and restart the computer. Go to the Monitors property sheet to ensure that there are only two monitors listed, and that the right-most (of the two) is still the default monitor.
7) Open SSMS, then bring up the New User window once more. Notice that the New User window now opens off-screen.
The irony is that this bug doesn't even apply to me anymore as, after about 6 months, I got my third monitor back. But for those 6 months, I was getting this behavior MANY TIMES A DAY, driving me completely and utterly furious and crazy each time, because it's such a stupid and moronic and easy-to-fix bug. I don't understand how your QA process could possibly have missed windows opening off-screen.
(Like you suggested, if SSMS actually ensured that windows opened on monitors that actually exist, this whole thing would be a non-issue.)
I don't know what you mean by "can't move my screen around," as this has nothing to do with moving or repositioning screens. It has to do with a window that opens off-screen, so that it's impossible to use the window without doing one of the ugly hacks outlined in this thread.
I'm glad SQL Server 2008 has "lots of work on multiple monitor support" and I'd be extremely happy if it did what you <i>claimed</i> SSMS 2005 did a year ago.
Sorry for the tone. It's so upsetting to me that bugs related to multi-monitor support could exist in a product in use in 2005, after a full decade of Windows supporting multiple-monitors. Isn't this stuff perfected by now? Doesn't Microsoft have any kind of minimal quality control process, and why isn't this on it? It's hard to express how frustrating this is, both the bug and the lack of response to it.

How to delete the line for 300SAP* in table USR02 in SQL Management studio

Hello
I used to delete the line for 300SAP* in table USR02 in SQL Enterprise Manager. After I could log on with pass.
I wander how to delete it in SQL Management studio. When I expand tdatabase it takes so long time and it is uncontrollable

Hello,
you have to delete the row by a sql statement.
Open a new query and run a script like this:
use <Your SID DB> -- e.g. use PRD
setuser 'your sid in lowercase' --- e.g. setuser 'prd'
delete from USR02 where MANDT = '300' and BNAME = 'sap*'
go
Run a complete backup before deleting data manually.

How do I load an SSIS package created in Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated) onto SQL Server 2012 using SQL Management Studio 2012

I am fairly new to this whole process of working with the Microsoft development environment. Here is what I have to work with:
an NT server running Microsoft SQL 2012 - Microsoft SQL Server Standard (64-bit) 11.0.2100.60
and on my laptop (all freebie downloads):
SQL Server Management Studio 2012 ver 11.0.2100.60
Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop Development and
Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated)
I was able to create an SSIS package in
2012 Shell (Integrated). It takes a flat file and imports it into an SQL database table. It runs successfully from within the
2012 Shell (Integrated) envrionment.
But I am having trouble figuring out how to set this up on the 2012 SQL Server. I see that one of my colleagues created an Integration Services Catalog,
and using SQL Management Studio I was able to create a folder under that called DigLic. But when I go to the Projects subfolder of DigLic and attempt to import my SSIS package, I get an error message:
"To launch the Integration Services Deployment wizard, one of the components: Integration Services, Management Tools - Basic or Business Intelligence Development Studio has to be installed by the SQL Server
2012 Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation Edition. To install a component, run SQL Server Setup and Select the component name"
I realize that Express Versions of Visual Studio lack the full feature set of a professional version. But am I wrong in assuming that owning a server version of SQL Server 2012 gives us license to a professional
version of SQL Management Studio 2012? If so, how would I go about getting this software component installed? And I am not clear if this is something that needs to be installed on our SQL Server or if I simply need a professional version of SSMS
loaded on my laptop.
I work for a company that is fairly fractured in its repsonsibilities, so I would need to know exactly what to ask for if I need to track down any licenses that I might need and if I need to have any specific software installed on our SQL server or on my
laptop.
All helpt would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Arthur,
Thank you for your reply. But at this point, one of my points of confusion is what software I have available to me. I wish I had a useful central help desk to call up and just say, "Hey, load me up with all of the professional version(s) of Visual
Studio. But I do not know what we have license to. And I kind of need to know what the options are, so that I can ask a specific question of our vast buracracy.
For now, I have downloaded only free versions of Visual Studio client software. Since my company does have servers running Microsoft SQL Server, I am going to assume that we have proper licensing for those servers. But does that server license
allow me to get any professional versions of the PC client software for the various Visual Studio(s) 2012?
And if I get a professional version of Visual Studio 2012, does that do away with the three different flavors that I have right now? I have 2012 versions of SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio Express, and Visual Studio Shell (Integrated).
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks!

SSIS query returns no results - same query in SQL management studio works

Hello,
I'm running a very simple join to get a result set:
SELECT dbo.sap_contracts.svc_id, dbo.sap_contracts.svc_code, dbo.sap_contracts.quantity, dbo.sap_contracts.start_date, dbo.sap_contracts.end_date
FROM dbo.sap_contracts
INNER JOIN dbo.contracts
ON dbo.contracts.contract_id=dbo.sap_contracts.contract_id
where customer_name='XXXXXXXXX'
When I run this in SQL management studio it works fine and returns the list of existing "SAP contracts" in the DB (to compare to the customer's contracts actually in SAP).
In SSIS (SQL 2012) I'm using an Execute SQL task to run this query and putting the full results set into a variable of type "object". I've done very similar things before and it worked fine. With this query in SSIS I get no results at all. Changing
the variable type to "string" throws an error showing that the type being written to the variable is "DBNull" - so it seems that the query in SSIS returns no records, when in SQL management studio I get the 15 records that should be returned.
Does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong?

There are several connections to the DB in tasks before this one, and the task after this is a whole load of C# in a script task doing SOAP communications to the SAP ERP system to compare the result set from this SQL with the contracts in SAP ERP for the
specific customer.
Input variables are all correct (I've checked them about 15 times now with breakpoints on just about every task in the whole package) and I'm at the point of having to test everything in an attempt to see exactly what query is being sent to the SQL server
and anything else I can do to see why nothing comes back. There is a almost complete lack of debugging tools in SSIS which doesn't make life any easier (something I've heard quite a few times in various forums).
I'm tearing my hair out on this for half a day now and it's not funny any more, so apologies if I come across as a little frustrated.

SQL query generating data in SQL management studio but not in CUIC interface

Hello,
I'm working on a UCCE 9.0 system
I created SQL query for a report.
Whenever I run the query inside the SQL management studio, it works and generates data, but when I run it in the CUIC interface it works but generates nothing. As you can see in the below snapshot, it contains 209 records that are not being displayed.
Any help would be greatly apprciated

Is it a custom report ? Can you right click on your Custom Report and click on Edit Views. You need to check whether you have Grid Headers Listed.
Regards,
Senthil
