In MySQL Workbench, you are able to preview a script before it is applied. Ex:
1.) Select * from any_table
2.) Modify one a value in one of the rows returned
3.) Click apply
4.) you are presented with a review script dialogue before it is applied (See image)
Does SQL Server Management Studio have similar functionality
This seems pretty similar to the following SQL Server Management Studio functionality:
From the SQL Server Management Studio object explorer window, right click on a table then:
"Script Table as"
"Update to"
"New Query Editor Window"
Long story short: no there is nothing that allows you to view the scripted out edit of live data similar to that. The best SSMS has to offer is the "edit top 200 rows" option and then editing the SQL behind it to accomodate for where clauses etc...
It will automically script out and run the script right when you make the data change. But there is not really a "Review" piece to it.
Would be nice though...

I am updating a MS Access away from access. There are some Append Queries that the design view will not come up at all. I read somewhere that if the append is extra old you just need to save the DB as an older version. However, that also fails to do anything.
I am using O365 Access with a 2007-2016 file format DB. It has been upgraded multiple times over the years I would assume it might've started as a 2000 DB.
What can I do to see the design of the append?
If you open the Visual Basic IDE (Alt+F11), and then open the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G), you should then be able to enter the following expression on a new line in the Immediate Window (changing Query1 to the name of your query) and press Enter to view the SQL associated with the query:
?CurrentDb.QueryDefs("Query1").SQL
You could then inspect the tables/queries referenced in the SQL and see if anything is amiss, or copy the SQL to a new query to see if it exhibits the same behaviour.
I just wanted to know if Microsoft's Studio has the following functionality of mySQLWorkbench:
After inserting, updating, deleting etc. cols in mySQLWorkbench using GUI, you clik on "Apply" and a new window pops up where you have your complete query according to changes you have made.
On the other side Microsoft's Server only offers that the user generates some predefined scripts, which should be changed manually each time.
So, perhaps i missed it, i want to be sure:
Does "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio" offer the described functionality of "mySQLWorkbench" ?
mySQLWorkbench isn't primarily a Databse-Frontend, it's a Design- and Development IDE that could connect a Database-Server.
The Managementstudio is to manage and Maintain Servers. It#s intended to do a different Job though. But: you can do almost anything by drag and drop and by context menus you could get the resulting code to copy/paste or save it.
There is one important difference: With the Workbench you design in theory and might connect a server. With the MS SQL Management-Studio you always manipulate a real Server. That's why i've got here a Deploy Server, One Hot-Standby and a Developmentserver (Developeditions are quite cheap) for Development and Testing.
Transact SQL is something one should learn and understand as you will need it for stored procedures or trigger-programming. GUI clicking is nice to have, but at a certain point you will have to know what GUI is doing or will have to start your Editor. The Transact SQL Help is quite good. Just start!
Yes. Right-click on "Tables" and choose "New Table.." or right-click on an existing table and choose "Design". Make your changes in the designer, then right-click in the top pane and choose "Generate Change Script..."
Is it possible to get the view creation statement writing any query in sql sever 2008
Actually i want to copy the views from one database to another database
thanks
Do you have SSMS? You have the option to generate scripts for all objects in a database. You can limit it to just the views.
Right click on the node for the specific database in Object Explorer.
Select Tasks
Under Tasks, select Generate Scripts
Execute the wizard, selecting the options suited for your task.
This will generate a script for all your views, or allow you to select the specific views you're interested in.
#Sashenka's answer is correct, but this will let you script more than one view at a time.
In SSMS,
Right click the view
Select Script view as
Select CREATE To
Choose New Query Editor Window
You can then copy the script and modify it for your new Database.
Easiest way is to use SQL Compare, but you can also do this in SQL Server Management Studio in a similar fashion to what I describe in this blog post.
In short, open object explorer details, multiselect all your views, and script as Drop and Create from the context menu. You can now apply this script on your second server.
I see several examples that show how to use the Execute SQL task. One such example I see this screen shot:
There are a lot of tasks there that I don't have in my task list. The one I am looking for is "Execute SQL".
I also note that they don't have "OLE DB Command" (which is what I would usually use to call SQL).
Do I just have a different version? Is "OLE DB Command" the successor to "Execute SQL"? Or is there some way to get the stuff I am missing?
You might be inside a Data Flow - that will only show you items related to a Data Flow (Data Flow Sources, Data Flow Transformations, Data Flow Destinations).
If you are in the Control Flow, and cannot see the items you indicate as missing, you can right click to add.
This will give you a dialog box where you can choose the items that you want to add
In SQL 2012 / VS 2010, the Execute SQL Task only appears in the Favorites bar at the top. This is confusing - why is it only a favourite?
You can however right-click and "move" to Common, but not "copy" to Common:
I had this issue in VS 2010 and VS 2012. To fix it, here's what I had to do:
Exit Visual Studio
Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
Go to the folder for your version (e.g. 11.0 for VS 2012)
Rename all *.tbd files, e.g. to *.tbd.old
Open visual studio
Open toolbox by going to View > Other Windows > SSIS Toolbox

I think that this is a relatively simple question. I just want to know if you are able to save or use SQL snippets like you can in Visual Studio, but within SQL Server Management Studio? I've had a browse but couldn't find anything.
Dragging a Template item into the current query is handy (You can create your own & "file" them in their own hierarchy), and the SMSS Tools Pack addin provides a Snippet function.
