SQLserver Management Studio is missing

Gurus:
I have just installed an SQLserver2005SP2. I have followed the guide exactly.
However, the "SQLserver Management Studio" is missing from the menu

Could you tell how to make them appearing?
Thanks a lot! Pnts will be given. Regards!

Installing SQLServer Management Studio 2012 - Windows 8.1

I've tried several download sources trying to get a DB instance installed (works fine), however, getting an executable SSMS eludes me. Saw lots of explanations of how to install it; they don't end up producing a tool I can run. Anyone with
either a link that will work, or the caveat I need to follow to get functional SSMS on Windows 8.1 would be appreciated.

First please give information about what version of SQL Server SSMS you are trying to install. Again you did not give any information about error ? Unless you give complete information it would be difficult for us to provide you correct answer.
Please edit your question and add more information

Missing Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sf.dllc

I've tried to establish a database connection from Visual Studio Express 2013 to a local SQL Server Express 2014. The Server is visible and the connection test successful, but when I try to finish the connection, an error pops up saying that assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sf
were not there.
OS is Win 7/64 bits, VS and SQL Server installed just recently on a new PC (the SQL Server installtion also created a SQL Server 2008 folder plus content). I found two instances of Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sf, but in the (x86) folders of SQL Server.
I searched for solutions and found that one should install Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Shared Management Objects and
Microsoft® System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server® 2014 (both 64) from here:
from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-ph/download/confirmation.aspx?id=42295
I did that, but the 64bit versions still don't show up (I searched the whole HD, in case the installation had put them at weired locations). I appreciate every advice on how to solve the problem.
Thanks a lot.

Free Download Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll to your computer.
Copy the file to the install directory of the program that missing the dll file.
If that doesn't work. you have to move the dll file to the system directory.
(Windows 95/98/Me) - <kbd>C:\Windows\System</kbd>
(Windows NT/2000) - <kbd>C:\WINNT\System32</kbd>
(Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7) - <kbd>C:\Windows\System32</kbd>
If you use a 64-bit version of Windows, The System Directory in <kbd>C:\Windows\SysWOW64\</kbd>
Reboot computer.
Otherwise
As the error message indicated, "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll" cannot be found where it should be, or is
simply missed.
The file is typically at the directory: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies.
You may need to repair the installation of SQL Server on the machine.

Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.management.sdk.sfc version 11.0.0.0 on Visual Studio Ultimate 2014 Update 4

I am getting the infamous "Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.management.sdk.sfc version 11.0.0.0." The set up of my system is Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate update 4 and my SQL server is 12.0.2000 Express. I am also using SQL
management studio 2014. I read other comments and blogs, and reinstalled the SQL Express 12.0.2000, but no luck yet.

Hi payam49er,
>>I am
getting the infamous "Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.management.sdk.
sfc version 11.0.0.0."
Based on your error, could you please tell me what you do operation and then you get the error message?
Could you please tell me if you add a data connection from Server Explorer Window in Visual studio 2013 Ultimate update
4 and then you get the error message?
If yes, to check if the issue is related to the VS IDE issue, I suggest you can execute the following commands to check if it can
help you add data connection in VS2013 Ultimate Update 4.
(1)I suggest you can run your VS in safe mode by executing Devenv.exe /SafeMode to add a data connect again.
(2)I suggest you can use the Devenv.exe /ResetSettings to restores the IDE's default settings, optionally resets to the specified
VSSettings file.
(3)You can execute the Devenv.exe /ResetAddin to remove commands and command UI associated with the specified Add-in.
In addition, if you used the SQL Server Express to connect the data in VS, you need to specify the server name
as MyComputerName\SQLEXPRESS. If you used the SQL Server to connect the data in VS. Please you try to specify the server name as MyComputerName\InstanceName here to check the result.
If still no help, according the error, it indicates that the problem is that the system cannot locate the right assembly (SQL
Server SDK). So I think you may get better response and solutions if you consult on SQL Server forums.
Thank you for your understanding.

Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices dll is missing

Hi,
I need to load a package programatically that is deployed to the SSIS catalog with the project deployment model. All the doc points to doing this using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices namespace; file: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll.
I cannot find this file. I have installed SqlServer developer version. Integration Services, SqlServer Data Tools, Client Tools SDK and Management Tools are selected and show installed.
The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll is not in the gac or anywhere on my machine.
What I want to do is documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.management.integrationservices.aspx.
Can you tell me what I need install to have this dll available?
Thanks,
Suzanne

When an error is routed, the column number (lineage id) is available, but the column name is not. The lineage id is not helpful. I guess before 2012, the lineageid was available in the package xml and could be gotten that way. I found numerous examples from
folks, but with 2012, the lineageids changed to text.
So, what I am doing in a script task is retrieving the lineageids and column names (along with the executable task name) and storing them in a variable that is then available to the errors. (Also getting the error description, but that is easy).
What is the recommended method of getting the column name when there is an error?
I found some form of this code somewhere and added to it. It is working when I can load the package, which is what I am trying to do with the IntegrationServices.dll
pkg = application.LoadPackage(pkgPath, null);
Executables pExecs = pkg.Executables;
           StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
           string d1 = ";";
           string d = ":";
foreach (Executable pExec in pExecs)
               TaskHost taskHost = (TaskHost)pExec;
               string taskhostName = taskHost.Name;
               //Test if the task is a data flow
               if (taskHost.InnerObject is Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper.MainPipe)
                   //Cast the Executable as a data flow
                   MainPipe pipe = (MainPipe)taskHost.InnerObject;
                   // Loop over each object in the dataflow
                   foreach (IDTSComponentMetaData100 comp in pipe.ComponentMetaDataCollection)
                       foreach (IDTSOutputColumn100 column in comp.OutputCollection[0].OutputColumnCollection)
                           sb.Append(string.Concat(taskhostName, d, column.LineageID.ToString(), d, column.Name, d1));
Dts.Variables["User::colList"].Value = sb.ToString();
So, this is in a script task that runs before any of the DFTs. The error paths all have access to the colList variable via a script component. It gets split, loaded to a class list and queried with linq based on the lineageid of the column that errored.
If you have something better, I would be glad to know about it. My requirements is to provide the column name and error description when there is an error.
I DO NOT have the Microsoft.Sqlserver.Management.IntegrationServices.dll on my box. I have searched from the c:. As I said in the previous post, sorted by name, I see
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.CollectorTasks
Microsoft.Sqlserver.Management.IntegrationServices should be the next folder. It isn't there!!
The next thing I see is Microsoft.SqlServer.MSMQTask.
I do see 4 Microsoft.SqlServer.IntegrationServices. folders, but the Management.IntegrationServices isn't there.
Thanks for your help,
Suzanne

Missing Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll

Hi. I've been reading about "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll" and would like to use it as a
reference in a C# program.
I cannot seem to find a copy of this dll in C:\Windows\Assembly, nor in C:\Program Files (Any)\Microsoft SQL Server.
I tried performing a new install -- to no avail -- for the sole purpose of finding this dll. (I chose Database Engine, Client Tools, Integration Services, Client Tooks SDK, Management Tools, and SQL Client Connectivity SDK.)
How can I acquire a copy of this .dll?

Not able to access database from a remote machine using SQL Server Management Studio

Hi,

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;

Package 'Microsoft SQL Management Studio Package' failed to load in Windows 7 OS/Sql Server 2008 R2

I encountered this error while setting up a new machine. I have VS 2008 with SP1, VS2010 installed. I tried to re-install Sql Maangement Studio 2008 R2 and Sql Server 2008 R2 but to no avail. However, I were able to isolate this to missing dlls.
It is looking for this dll. I don't see it installed on the system. Anyone can tell me why?

Hi,
Could you please check if there any directory named like 1,2,3 etc in
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\
This error sometime occurs due to missing temporary file which is created every time at startup of ssms.exe file.
If you can find any log file which says missing file name then you just create the missing directory in given location. The file will be created automatically next time.
Thanks.

Cannot connect to server via management studio

Hello,
I've installed Express with Tools 64bit edition. EDIT: it's 2014 version, here's the download link https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/evalcenter/dn434042.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
But when I try to connect to the database using the management studio, I get this error:
Signature for the declaration in a method implementation cannot be found. Type: 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.SqlSmoObject'. Assembly: 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlStudio.Explorer)

at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlStudio.Explorer.ObjectExplorerService.ValidateConnection(UIConnectionInfo ci, IServerType server)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConnectionDlg.Connector.ConnectionThreadUser()
I don't get what this error is trying to tell me really. Hopefully someone can explain it so I might fix it. Or any information why I can't seem to connect would be appreciated.
I've tried connecting to a running server instance, and I've tried connecting to localdb; both gave the same error. The name seems right, as a different error appears when it cannot find the server/bad name.
I was able to connect with visual studio 2013 and create a new database through that, so this feels a bit like a missing dependency or something in my management studio installation. I ran installation repair, but it didn't find any problems.
I'm looking to learn SQL so it's possible the setup of the server was not done right, maybe? But I'm not sure if that would affect localdb... guess it's pretty clear that I'm at a loss why it's not working; hopefully someone will be able to help.

Hello,
Could you try to apply the following update for SQL Server and apply the latest update for VS 2013?

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:In the Database, how to print out or export the old 3 dbo Tables that were created manually and they have a relationship for 1 Parent table and 2 Child tables?How to handle this relationship in creating a new XML Schema?

Hi all,
Long time ago, I manually created a Database (APGriMMRP) and 3 Tables (dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates, dbo.Table_2_Soil, and dbo.Table_3_Water) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates has the following columns: file_id,
Pt_ID, X, Y, Z, sample_id, Boring. The dbo.Table_2_Soil has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead. The dbo.Table_3_Water has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Benzene, Ethylbenzene,
Pyrene. The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates is a Parent Table. The dbo.Table_2_Soil and the dbo.Table_3_Water are 2 Child Tables. The sample_id is key link for the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Tables.
Problem #1) How can I print out or export these 3 dbo Tables?
Problem #2) If I right-click on the dbo Table, I see "Start PowerShell" and click on it. I get the following error messages: Warning: Failed to load the 'SQLAS' extension: An exception occurred in SMO while trying to manage a service.
--> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. Warning: Could not obtain SQL Server Service information. An attemp to connect to WMI on 'NAB-WK-02657306' failed with the following error: An exception occurred in SMO while trying
to manage a service. --> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. .... PS SQLSERVER:\SQL\NAB-WK-02657306\SQLEXPRESS\Databases\APGriMMRP\Table_1_XYcoordinates>   What causes this set of error messages? How can
I get this problem fixed in my PC that is an end user of the Windows 7 LAN System? Note: I don't have the regular version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 in my PC. I just have the Microsoft 2012 Shell (Integrated) program in my PC.
Problem #3: I plan to create an XML Schema Collection in the "APGriMMRP" database for the Parent Table and the Child Tables. How can I handle the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Table in the XML Schema Collection?
Problem #4: I plan to extract some results/data from the Parent Table and the Child Table by using XQuery. What kind of JOIN (Left or Right JOIN) should I use in the XQuerying?
Please kindly help, answer my questions, and advise me how to resolve these 4 problems.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

In the future, I would recommend you to post your questions one by one, and to the appropriate forum. Of your questions it is really only #3 that fits into this forum. (And that is the one I will not answer, because I have worked very little with XSD.)
1) Not sure what you mean with "print" or "export", but when you right-click a database, you can select Tasks from the context menu and in this submenu you find "Export data".
2) I don't know why you get that error, but any particular reason you want to run PowerShell?
4) If you have tables, you query them with SQL, not XQuery. XQuery is when you query XML documents, but left and right joins are SQL things. There are no joins in XQuery.
As for left/right join, notice that these two are equivalent:
SELECT ...
FROM   a LEFT JOIN b ON a.col = b.col
SELECT ...
FROM   b RIGHT JOIN a ON a.col = b.col
But please never use RIGHT JOIN - it gives me a headache!
There is nothing that says that you should use any of the other. In fact, if you are returning rows from parent and child, I would expect an inner join, unless you want to cater for parents without children.
Here is an example where you can study the different join types and how they behave:
CREATE TABLE apple (a int    NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT apple(a, b)
   VALUES(1, 'Granny Smith'),
   (2, 'Gloster'),
   (4, 'Ingrid-Marie'),
   (5, 'Milenga')
CREATE TABLE orange(c int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
d varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT orange(c, d)
   VALUES(1, 'Agent'),
   (3, 'Netherlands'),
   (4, 'Revolution')
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
CROSS JOIN orange
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
INNER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
LEFT   OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
RIGHT OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
FULL OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
go
DROP TABLE apple, orange
