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
Hi,
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.

Excel data can be imported to SQL easily by using SQL Server Import and Export Wizard which is available in SQL Server management Studio itself.
Right click on Database then select Task then Import data. Wizard opens up and just follow the instructions.
Please feel free to revert in case if you need additional details.

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.

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:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178068(v=sql.105).aspx
If that fails, go to Configuration Manager and restart the server.

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..
diana4Hello,
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

Auto Scheduled run of the Sql server management studio or a auto refreshing query
Hi ALL ,
This is a very different weird requirement but workaround for one of my requirement . Scenario is that sql server enterprise edition is installed on a vm . I create a session with the vm using the remote desktop . I have scheduled a ssis package
on the server and it should run 4 am daily us timing but its failing . If in case a user is connected to the management studio package runs on time . So i have to disconnect from the remote desktop and its not possible for me to login at 4 am every day for
running package.
Requirement : Is it possible that the sql sever management studio automatically turns on at 03:30 am and authenticates in .If that is possible my package won't fail . If this is not possible is it possible that sql script auto refreshes every
30 min's so what i can do i will run the auto refreshing script in the management studio once and will disconnect the remote desktop not the sql server session so my virtually my session on vm will end but vm is always on from the vcenter and there is some
activity on the sql server management studio so even the application won't be closed after a stipulated time frame leading to running of my package on time.

BIDS for SQL Server Management Studio
I want to use BIDS and SSI. Can someone assist me with this? I have Sql Server Management Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 -- both installed via web download.
Hi Michael,
To create a package in Business Intelligence Development Studio:
In Business Intelligence Development Studio, open the Integration Services project in which you want to create a package.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the SSIS Packages folder, and then click New SSIS Package.
Optionally, add control flow, data flow tasks, and event handlers to the package.
On the File menu, click Save Selected Items to save the new package.
For more details, please refer to the following documents:

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?
BR
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
See also the following for further details:

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. -

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? ThanksBy 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.

OBIEE 11g installationwith sql server management studio
Hi All,
I am trying to install obiee 11.1.1.6.0 into my machine with window 7 and Microsoft Sql Server(Management studio) as my backend.
When i run the Rcu i get an error saying
Invalid Server name/Port number. Please specify correct Server name/Port number
I have given my system name as the server name also tried giving localhost,local and port nno as 1433 but no luck
can anyone please help me in this?
Many thanks in advance!!!!Do the following:
Check whether your telnet client is active or not .
Go to Control panel -> Programs and features -> Turn Windows Features on or off -> Turn on if checkbox is not selected.
Run telnet command :
telnet host port
If blank screen appears , your SQL Server is connected .If not you see an error message.
If you are not sure about the port number ,
SQL Server Configuration Manager -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS -> TCP/IP -> Right click TCP/IP , Select Properties and then IP Address tab to look for port number .
(If you find TCP/IP disabled , enable it)
Thanks,
