DataSource Controls :: Import Database Diagram At SQL Server Management Studio Express?
Feb 26, 2010
How do you import database diagram at SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)? Using SSMSE in checking my database through a shared server, the "Database Diagrams" folder has no import functionality.
Opening an existing asp.net 3.5 project using VWD Express 2010, the database diagram file under Database Diagrams folder went missing in Database Explorer tab. Everything is in there when I first created the diagram using VWD Express 2008. However, when I look at the .dbml file, the associated relationship between dozens of tables exist and my project runs successfully. I'm planning to create another table with relationships from existing tables but seems like I have to painfully recreate them back from scratch. How can I recover those diagrams?
I have an ASP.NET 3.5 app with a SQL 2005 Express .mdf database file in its App_Data folder. Lets call that Foo.mdf. On its own the ASP.NET app can connect to the database with no problems. So far so good. Then, if I install Sql Server Management Studio Express on the server and start it, it finds the local SQLEXPRESS instance and connects to it, but doesn't show Foo.mdf in the list of databases.
So I try and Attach Foo.mdf by right-clicking on databases and selecting Attach.. and finding the .MDF. This fails with a vague error:
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 32(error not found) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:inetpubwwwrootFooAppApp_DataFoo.mdf'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5123)
If I stop my ASP.NET site in IIS, then the attach does work, but then when I restart my ASP.NET app, it can't connect to Foo.mdf. So it looks like SQL Express 2005 will only let either my app or Management Studio connect. This seems really crap - surely Sql Express should allow more than one connection? I was expecting it to behave like regular Sql Server.
I am unable to restore database in form of .bak files using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.It gives following error message:
Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I followed the article How to: Create a Database (SQL Server Management Studio)" [URL] I got this:-
//image
Then I tried to add this database in vs08 but at first I got nothing, then I manually started the MSSQLSERVER, after that it just displays the System Databases not the database "test1" I made So how to make it realize that I have made a database and I want it to connect to that database?
//image
i need to connect to the db"test1" so that i can manupilate it using vs08 controls.
using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005. Saved it by name SQLQuery1.sql on the desktop. Now I would like to call this query from C# code when an ASP.NET button is clicked and display the results in a gridview. How do I call the query? Can I tell Visual Studio 2008 to please execute the query stored in 'sqlquery1.sql' ? Where do I store the results so that I can bind them the display controls like a gridview, or traverse the data? This is a website in C#, ASP.NET, Visual Studio 2008, and database is on the same computer using SQL Server 2005 Express
I just installed SQL Server 2008 Management studio Express on my Vista machine.i tried connecting to local machine using :
.sqlexpress, (local)sqlexpress, or .SQLExpress, MyPCNAMESQLExpress
nothing is working, getting this error:
----------------------------- Cannot connect to PC-NAMESQLEXPRESS. 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) ----------------------------
I have SQL server management studio express install on one machine.
I am able to connect to that machine or able to ping that machine from my computer.
I have code which return me the SQL server instances on same network. Using that I am able to get that SQL server instance. I have configured SQL express to access remote connection. i.e.
Configured SQL express to accept named / TCP IP instance connection. Started Browser service.
My machine settings My machine has been configured to set dynamic IP address using DHCP protocol
When I am trying to connect to above mentioned SQL server I am getting error that "Failed to connect SERVER NAME\SQLEXPRESS".
But if I configured my machine with manual IP address and default gateway I am able to connect to same SQL server.
I got the solution to connect to that server but I don't know why I am facing such problem. And also let me know that is the solution I am using is correct or not?
I have installed Visual Studio 2010 ultimate (trial version) on my PC,it's working fine but i am getting issue with sql server 2005,it's not working now.
I m using SQL Server 2005 Express edition.The error when i am trying to connect sql server with windows authentication is
"This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionDlg)".
I follow the instruction of installing a new feature with the application SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe and I get to a fail telling me that VS 2008 needs to be upgraded to SP1.
This I have done several times with the final message saying successfully installed yet 'About' shows only
I am considering moving my personal website across from one hosting to another the new hosting will use a SQL Server 2008 Express DB. Is there any easy way of moving the information from MySQL to SQL Server 2008 Express DB.
i am using sql express 08 & sql management studio exp 08. I tried to clone a database from another but an error occured. My steps:
[newDatabase] >> right click >> tasks >> restore >> databaseOn general section: from database = [databaseSource] >> backup sets: all checked
On options section: overwrite existing database: checked, recovery state: restore with recoveryClick [ OK ] button The error:
Restore failed for 'MyServerSQLEXPRESS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
Additional information:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The file 'x:.........databaseSource.mdf' cannot be overwritten. It is being used by database 'databaseSource'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
And why sql management studio tried to overwrite the dataSource (not newDatabase)? how to clone a database? I also tried backup databaseSource to file and then restore newDatabase from the file but resulting the same error.
I have been given a .NET type web hosting by my provider along with MSSQL. I am learing what that means and how to use it. Can I use my SQL Server 2008 Management Studio to connect to that SQL over the internet in order to put my database on the web? or how else can I use it?
I have just installed SQL Server 2005 on windows7. It was installed successfully. When I tried to open SSMS it became faild. It gives me SQL Server Error :18456 Login Failed. How can i find what server name I put to login? Because when It prompt me to login, in server combo box it shows me only <browse for server> option and it doesn't show me any option to select server. I put the default John-PCJOhn it gives me an error. I uninstall it two times and installed it again but every time it gives me same error. It was working fine before formating my laptop. Please give me a solution to login in to SSMS.
I am having a problem connecting to my SQL Server 2008 Express database with SQL Management Studio Express and from the website at the same time.
Everytime I want to view any pages in my site that access the database, I have to close management studio and restart the server for some reason or i get a failed login error message. Then when I want to go back to SSMS I get this error message:
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)
Additional Information: Unable to open the physical file c:..... Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)" (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5120)
Is it NOT possible to work on the database through SSMS at the same time as viewing pages in the website that access the database?
I sure hope that there is a work around or something for this.
Using the Web Platform installer, in installed both the Visual Web Developer Express 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio Express 2008. Next, I connected to my local SQL Server Express 2008 and created a simple database and table using Visual Web Developer Express 2008 where the database file resided in the app data folder of my website. I can connect and explore the table from both Visual Web Developer 2008 as well as the full blown version of Visual Studio 2008.
I restored a database from another server, and everything looks good except the users.
I'm managing all this from SQL Server 2008 Management Studio as SA.
The users are present in the [u]databaseName > security > users[/u] section, and they exist in [u]databaseServer > Security > Logins[/u]. However I can't change anything in the [u]databaseName > security > users[/u] section, because when I try and make a change, and then I hit OK to apply, it says "[i]login name must be specified[b][/b][/i]". But the login name field is grayed out and I can't modify it(even though I'm logged into the machine as Administrator and SQL as SA).
Also, in the user mapping section, when I try to map one of the users to a database, it says '[i]create failed user already exists[b][/b][/i]'...but I don't want to create the user, I just want to map that user to the appropriate databases...
I've just downloaded SQL Server Management Studio 2008 after using SSMS 2005 for the past years, however the intellisense isn't working in the Query-Builder. I've checked, and Intellisense is enabled. Is there any other reason this could not be working?
I'm a beginner with ASP.NET. I'm using SQL Server2005 Management Studio. The problem I facing is arises when I tries to run any query,even the simplest, it doesn't identifies the table. as below:
I jsut installed SQL server and management studio on my PC. For management studio, I created a database with tables. However, When I have data connection for SQL server in visual studio express, I couldn' t see the database I created.
I sucessfully installed SQL Server Express 2010 on my windows server. I then tried to install the SQL Server 2008 management studio via Web Platform Installer but it failed (it did however sucessfully install powershell).
I've used the WebPI to install SQL Server Express 2008 and VWD2008 SP1. I made sure to install SQL Server first then install VWD. Whenever i use VWD now though and try to add a new SQL Server Database to my website i get the error message "Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly."
I'm a little stuck as to where to proceed with this error. I've un-installed everything web development related and re-installed and still get the same error. I was under the impression that VWD2008 SP1 required SQL Server Express 2008 and wouldn't work with SQL Server Express 2005 so can't understand why it now wants it to be installed.
