I want to go through this tutorial. Unfortunately the author has already set up the datasources
and does not explain how to set them up. First off I installed an separate SSAS Instance in my sql server 2014. Then I tried to add a .mdf file via "Attach" but get the Error "AdventureWorks.detach_log could not be found in the folder". So according to this SO solution I tried this command:
CREATE DATABASE YAFnet ON (FILENAME = N'C:\sql_data\YAFnet.mdf')
FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG;
within my SSAS instance query editor but it looks like the query is not a proper one since it is mdx.
Anyone who can help me to get a datasource (adventureworks dw) for my tabular model so I can follow the tutorial?
I would download the tabular backup from AW samples and recover the .abf file

I cant see "From mysql databases" button in Get data tab in excel, and just can see Microsoft databases such as Sql-server, Access, SSAS ...and unfortunately Im not be allowed to post the image here,
does anybody know the solution?
After downloading the MySQL Driver from this link as described in this post I can add a new ODBC data source and am able to select the driver.
Data -> From Other Sources (last one in drop down) -> From Microsoft Query
There select New Data Source and press Ok. In the form you can define a new data source, select the mysql driver etc.
Do not seem to be able to find any place in the portal or Report Builder where I can actually edit the connect string & creds.
Report Manager shows the XML, but that really is it.
Disk files (from the looks of it) are no longer present in high versions (using SQL 2016/2017).
Is there a known location anywhere in GUI, or maybe direct edits in the SQL Server repository?
I can't even delete a shared source anymore, only view or test the connection.
If anybody could post a screenshot, it'll be highly appreciated.
EDIT: Just found out - when I create a new Data Source, it's editable; the imported data sources are not.
There are two ways of doing this. You can set the 'overwrite datasource' option in the project properties.
Or, you can got to the report portal , show hidden items in the view menu and there is a folder called "data sources". Open this and you will see all data sources, from there you can edit and save changes. All reports that use that datasource will be affected.
I know there is similar question, but it didn`t helped me.
When I execute a package data flow task fails with the error:
"Unable to retrieve column information from the data source. Make sure your target table in the database is available."
I refreshed the source component, the destination components also. The table do exist in database. I tried with setting some parameters like "Always Use Default Code Page" to true but didn`t helped.
Connections are also ok.
Any idea?
Sounds like a permissions issue. Try, running Visual Studio as administrator or if that doesn't work, make sure your Windows Account has access to the data you require in SQL Server.
I am creating some Load tests using VS2012. I can run the tests using a StorageType of "None", but when I change this to a StorageType of "Database" I get the dreaded error
The load test results database could not be opened. Check that the
load test results database specified by the connect string for your
test controller (or local machine) specifies a database that contains
the load test schema and that is currently available. For more
information, see the Visual Studio help topic 'About the Load Test
Results Store'. The connection error was: An error occurred while
attempting to create the load test results repository schema: To
create the database 'LoadTest2010' your user account must have the
either the SQL Server 'sysadmin' role or both the 'serveradmin' and
'dbcreator' roles
I have created a database on a non local copy of SQL called LoadTest. When I test the connection from the SQL Tracing Connect String dialog I get a success.
I have created a SQL user that has the Server Roles of dbcreator, public, serveradmin and sysadmin. The user has a User Mapping to the LoadTest2010 database that was created from the loadtestresultsrepository.sql in the VS2012 IDE directory. On the database the user has the Database role memberships db_accessadmin, db_datareader, db_datawriter, db_owner.
In the Owned Schemas i ticked on the db_datareader, db_datawriter, db_owner and db_securityadmin howver these have now gone to a blue square instead of a tick when displayed.
So what's going on? Is Visual studio trying to create the database or is something else the issue?
I am not using TestControllers or TestAgents I am simply using a local run.
The answer was simple. I was setting up the connection string in the "SQL Tracing Connect String" instead of clicking the little "Manage Test Controller" icon at the top of my load test window and setting up the connection string from there.
Now I'm off to remove some of those superfluous permissions I created on that SQL user :)
Edit:
The SQL Connection String is NOT stored in the loadtest files. The setting seems to be PC specific so I had to change it on the build server - in one loadtest file (address.loadtest) as shown, then all the other loadtests adopt the same connection string.
I am using Visual Studio 2013 and had this error as well, but for a different reason. It's not entirely clear when setting up a load test for the first time that it will attempt to save the results to a database by default. I didn't realize it was trying to save results to a database until I got the error on my first run attempt. Furthermore, in the load test wizard, there is no screen to configure the database settings or create the database schema for that matter.
I found this article on MSDN which helped me solve the problem.
How to: Create a Load Test Results Repository Using SQL
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182600%28v=vs.120%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Basically, it explains that you first need to run a script to create the load test repository schema. Once this is in place on your SQL instance is (it could be anywhere you like), then you can point your load test to this database and save your results there.
For me after I had set database connections and all the test results was still not writing to the database.
I forgot to change my storage type in the properties section of the runsettings.
The property is called 'Storage Type'
Storage Type : change it from None to Database
My current project is about doing some changes in an already build web application (PHP/MySQL). For displaying data, the previous developer used views. I got the app on my computer in order to get familiar with it and I can't seem to make those views work (I don't get any output in the app).
I searched the web for this an there seems to be a problem when you create a view with one database user and the that user no longer exists.
Anyone who got into this issue before? How can this be solved?
If you're importing the views from SQL dump file, they are probably defined like this
CREATE DEFINER = 'userWhoDoesNotExist#thisServer' VIEW viewName AS ....
Try removing the DEFINER = part, and the view will be created using currenct user account.
since you are running the server on your own computer, I am assuming you have root access. Try using something like
ALTER VIEW brokenView DEFINER='newuser'
this passes the validation check here. As long as you are root when you do this, you should be able to recover your views.
