Where is the query window in SSMSE 2008 Express?

I have been trying to find the query window in SQL Server 2008 Express. I've been using SSMSE 2005 Express from a Start Menu button called "SQL Server Management Studio Express." So far I have installed
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM - Express with Management Tools, and also
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Management Studio Express, and finally
SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 3. These are all the "86" installs for Windows 7, 32-bit, for example "SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe."
However I still can't find a button to open an application that will allow me to run queries. All the Start Menu buttons I have now are Microsoft SQL Server 2008 - Configuration Tools, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 - Import and Export Data (32-bit), and
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 - Configuration Tools. The "Installed SQL Server features discovery report" shows nothing installed, but I've seen others say the same thing, so I'm not sure that's even working properly.
All I'm really trying to do is connect to a pre-existing SQL Server 2008 database on another server from my computer, and bounce SQL queries off of it. Also it would be nice if there were an "Enterprise Manager" application such as I used to
have with SQL Server 2000 that would actually graphically help write the queries.
Can somebody help me unwind this? Thank you.

I finally got this working. I believe the problem was that I really was not running the installation as an administrator, when I thought that I was. All is working fine now.
Having said that, this is a very strange installation. There are many versions and service packs to versions. It's difficult to understand what is even needed. At one point the only update allowed was if I installed SDK, which I don't think
I needed. After updating service packs, none of the version information seemed to change. Installation was something of a shotgun technique; just keep throwing things at it until it works. The strange thing to me is knowing how much work
must go into writing all of these programs, and then finding installation to be such a muddled process.
In the end, I'll take whatever works. Thanks to those who tried to assist.

Where is the management Studio for SQL 2008 Express?

Can anyone point me to where I can download the management studio for SQL 2008 Express.
I've downloaded and installed SQL 2008 Express without problem but can't find the management studio.
Help.

Paradox1 said:
The 2008 version of the Management Studio is not a stand alone installation and can only be installed as part of the SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools or Advanced installation.
Like many others, I spent countless hours trying to figure out how to install the Management Studio for SQL Server 2008 Express - Advanced installation (same should apply to the w/ Tools version). What happened in my case was that I installed Visual Studio 2008 Express and during that process a stripped down "Instance" of SQL Server 2008 was installed that did not include the Management Studio. Through much pain and torture I learned that the Management Studio can only be installed during installation of the first instance. To delete that first instance, you must go to "Add or Remove Programs" and remove "Microsoft SQL Server 2008". The removal process will only remove one instance at a time and if you have installed more than one instance you need to keep going until all instances have been removed and the application completely disappears from the Add or Remove Programs" dialog. Note: You do not need to uninstall any of the other SQL Server 2008 applications that also appear in the "Add or Remove Programs" dialog. Then go back through the install process as follows: Double click on SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe to load the SQL Server Installation Center and then go to Installation > New SQL Server stand-alone installation. Then proceed through all of the installation steps until you get to “Feature Selection” and click on “Select All” to toggle on all of the Shared Features, which should include Management Tools - Basic.Continue the process from there and you should be good to go. Hopefully this will help others to avoid much of the pain that many of us have already experienced.

Need help asap regarding the query windowing

Dear friends,
The database i'm using (mvdemo - mapviewer demo DB that comes along with Oracle 10g), has only data about united states. Say if i have my query window like this, -180, 0, 180 , 90 (which is the upper half of the earth), i am getting the desired result. ie., Here is that query,
SELECT count(s.geom) FROM states s WHERE
SDO_FILTER(s.geom,
SDO_GEOMETRY(
     2003,
     8265,
     NULL,
     SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),
     SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-180, 0 , 180, 90))
) = 'TRUE';
Returns 55
I'm currently having a problem with my rectangular window query. When i query with a window value of -180, -90, 180, 90 (which covers the whole earth), the number of spatial objects (SDO_GEOM) that is returned is 0. It is not throwing any ORA error. But the expected result is as usual 55.
SELECT count(s.geom) FROM states s WHERE
SDO_FILTER(s.geom,
SDO_GEOMETRY(
     2003,
     8265,
     NULL,
     SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),
     SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-180, 0 , 180, 90))
) = 'TRUE';
Returns 0
Could anyone please help me out with this issue??
thank you in advance,
Bragadeesh

hi all,
i found the solution to my problem.
actually the query given here works just fine.
wat i was doing was using the sdo_intersection(<some geom>, <query window>). The query window am using here is the whole earth. But according to spatial rule, there cant be any geometry greater than half the surface of the earth.
Thank you all..

Error when querying a table through the Query Window

I am running a query on the following table in the ODT Query window - for some reason I get the error below when trying to retrieve the data - I can query the table just fine through SQL Plus - it errors out whether I use grid or text window
ERROR
Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.
CREATE TABLE "RF3_PROD_1"."F_EXTRACTMETRICS" ("EXTRACT_NAME" VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,"RUN_START_DATE" DATE NOT NULL,"RUN_END_DATE" DATE NOT NULL,"DURATION" NUMBER DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,"EXTRACT_START_DATE" DATE NULL,"EXTRACT_END_DATE" DATE NULL,"NUM_RECS_ADDED" NUMBER DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,"NUM_RECS_DELETED" NUMBER DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,"STATUS" VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,"COMMENTS" VARCHAR2(500) NULL) TABLESPACE "EXTRACT_TAB_01_TS" PCTFREE 15 PCTUSED 75 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE ( FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 INITIAL 8388608 NEXT 516096 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645 MINEXTENTS 1 PCTINCREASE 0 )
I would have formatted it nicer - but that is the way that ODT created it :)

Christian,
I found that this happens when trying to query number fields that are reals with a large decimal value (26 decimal values and above seem to be the magic number). What is strange is that I don't get this problem when I retrieve data from the same table using the Retrieve data option (versus a query for all the data in the Query Window) so they don't seem to be utilizing the same basic code to grab and then display the data interestingly enough (I am sure you knew that). Does this allow you to replicate the issue?
Thanks,
Bryan

HT5096 where is the administrator window when I drag the folder "Backups.backupdb" from the old hard drive on the new one?

where is the administrator window when I drag the folder "Backups.backupdb" from the old hard drive on the new one? At the moment when I try to do it, the window that appear doesn't allow me to continue. it only says "the volume has the wrong case sensitivity". thanks

Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be erased. That shouldn't be a problem, because you don't want to mix backup and non-backup data on the same drive anyway. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.

Where is the Native Windows XP USB/Display Support?

My Config:
Windows XP Professional
ASUS K8N-E, AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 2GHz, 1GB RAM
PNY NIVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT 128MB AGP (Force Ware 91.31, BIOS 5.43.02.39.51)
Cinema HD 30" display
This is my first Apple product and it amazing good apart from the "PC Compatible" BS under the product listing.
Where is the native Windows XP USB and display support for this $2,000 display? And no, I'm not satified with a SourceForge.net project with one developer working on WinACD (all credit to his efforts, I'm a software developer too!)
Tell me the last time you bought a piece of hardware that didn't come with driver support? Is this the first and last Apple product I buy?

I hear what you are saying but frankly that doesn't cut it - I'm an embedded sw engineer and if you are saying that a company like Apple can't take the time to create a Windows display INF file, like they did in 1997, then something is clearly not right.
Check the file "applevdo.inf" here:
http://mirror.apple.com/Mirrors/AppleSoftware_Updates/US/DOS-Windows/DOS_and_PC_CompatibilitySW/
They created an INF file for Windows 95.... but not for customers running "recommended" Nvidia Quatro FX's cards
running on XP and ultimately Vista?

Xcode 3 - Where's the Log window?

In Xcode 2 NSLog()Used to print text to a log panel. Now it doesn't. Where is the log window? I can't find it and a search of the help files doesn't produce any results. Also I can't find any menu item that would help. Generally I'm very confused by the big changes in the Xcode and Interface Builder GUIs. Most of the programming examples in my books are now FUBAR. Also the bookmarks in my browser to the Cocoa documentation are now invalid. What a bummer.

Well, it's an all-new application, it can be disturbing indeed.
However, your log window still exists, and its name never changed, it's called Console.
So, look into the preferences --> Debugging, look at the "On start" local menu, select "Show console", when you'll build and go your App the console window will appear and display your logs.

Where is the zoom window ?

Hi,
I need to zoom into the doc I'm working on, so I can read it. (I want to maintain the current font size.)
Where does the zoom window hide? The view pull down does not show it.
But the help window does!!
I found this type of probem throughout most of Adobe documentation,
seems to be systemic.

The Help panel that you're referring to applies to a Book file only and permits the zooming of the included files when opened from the Book. For individual document zoom controls, look at the lower-right corner of your Status Bar for the zoom contrrols.

Shortcuts for zooming in & out are:
In one zoom setting
Esc z i
Out one zoom setting
Esc z o
To fit page in window
Esc z p
To fit window to page
Esc z w

If you are referring to the browser search window in Safari it is the same as where you enter a web address. No seperate search window is necessary.
