does anyone know what SQL Server 2008 management scripts exists (except myLittleAdmin)?
Thanks
Clarification: I'm looking for web based management script (which supports SQL Server 2008) other than myLittleAdmin.
See
Something like phpMyAdmin but for SQL Server?
Free or open source .Net database view/edit tools like phpMyAdmin

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DSView'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
The feature: "The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsOperationNotSupported)
Hi, I have encountered the above mentioned error while doing an SSRS project. And from the research, it seems like it is SQL server related issue.
I am trying to access a remote SQL server....so I was wondering how can I get rid of that error?
Do I have to install SQL server Standard edition on my local machine or the server that I am trying to access should be installed with Sql Standard edition?
I have got Express editions installed on both my local machine and the server...
Thx
From Books Online:
Report data sources must be SQL Server relational databases that run
locally in SQL Server Express.
Features Supported by Reporting Services in SQL Server Express.
With SQL Server Express you can only use a Data Source where the database engine is from the same instance running SSRS.
If you need to connect to other instances your only options are to get a backup restored to your local instance or to install a SQL Server edition that allows remote Data Sources; most likely Developer for your own needs or Standard or above for any production instances.
It depends on what's allowed under your specific licencing agreement.
A neat way to get around this (that just worked for me) is to add a Linked Server on the Local machine to point to the server that hosts your remote data source.
Then modify your Dataset query in the SSRS report to look something like this...
select * from openquery(REMOTE_SERVER,'Put your original query here');
So I have made a set up file and install it to target computer which has no .Net 4.0 or SQL Server 2008.
I add them as prerequisites and setup downloaded from the internet the .Net 4.0 and SQL Server 2008.
The setup finished successfully.
When I run the program, it gives an exception:
cannot open xxxxxx.mdf file. it is version 650. and your is xxx...
I searched it out and learned that SQL Server installed on target computer is lower than the database file I created (the database file was created in SQL Server 2008 R2).
So, no connections can be opened.
To solve this, What can I do?
Thank you...
You can't attach a 2008 R2 database to a 2008 instance - you can only go forward, not backward. So either install 2008 R2 at the destination, or you'll have to re-create your database in 2008. If you install 2008 locally alongside 2008 R2, you can create an empty database in 2008 and use tools like Red-Gate's SQL Compare / SQL Data Compare, or the schema compare feature in SQL Server Data Tools, to translate your database relatively quickly.
There is no way to open an MDF file with a lower version of SQLServer.
Of course you could add as a prerequisite SQLServer 2008 R2 (express or full).
But the best course is to distribute a SQL Script containing schema and data.
This could be done using SqlServer Management Studio,
Right click on the database
Select Task
Select Generate Script.
Follow the Wizard.
In the last page of the wizard you could find the button Advanced
Clicking on it will give you full control on what to put inside the script.
The script could be distributed with your application with instructions on how to execute on the target machine.
I am using visual c# 2010 express edition and sql server 2008 R2 Express to develop a software. Now I need to create reports in c# based on the data that is stored in the sql database.
Based on this link : SQL 2008 R2 Express install option
I have the version "Database with Management Tools" installed. That is, the one which is 235 MB.
Now my requirements are that the software, which is written in c#, must be able to generate reports based on the data that is found in the sql database.
My questions are:
Must I install the Database with Advanced Services version (727 MB) to be able to use the MS SQL Reporting services?
Considering that I am using express editions for both c# and sql server, will I be able to make my software use the reporting services of MS SQL SERVER 2008 R2 Express? I have no experience in this but I have read somewhere that report viewer is not available in the express edition. Will that prevent me from using the reporting services?
If not, do you guys have any recommendations to other reporting tools that I might use? I need to generate reports containing graphs (free tools as long as possible, this is my dissertation project).
Thank you.
I wouldn't bother with full Reporting Services: I'd consider using the ReportViewer control in local mode in my app instead
This means you don't need SSRS installed at all: it's embedded in your app.
I'm using MS SQL for a project, but have always used MySql in the past. MySql has a really nice interface which lets you build queries, offers help, backup etc.
What free programs are there for MS Sql that can do this. I'm currently a student so I have free access to MS Sql but the only interface I have for it right now is Visual Studio 2008.
Any suggestions?
The SQL Server Management Studio is available in an "Express" edition as well. It's a separate download from SQL Server Express, though.
SQL Server Management Studio should come with SQL Server and is quite a nice and easy to use administrator tool.
create DBs, tables etc.
control permissions
run queries
and much much more
i just installed sql server 2008 express in order to learn microsoft sql.
why should i install sql management studio express? is it much easier to use this GUI?
If you installed SQL Server 2008 Express and got a GUI, that is the SQL Management Studio Express which was included in the installation.
They have a seperate installation fo the Management Studio Express, which will install just the client GUI without the database server, in case you want to use it to connect to a SQL Server database running on another machine.
The default GUI for SQL Server is Management Studio, so you should already have it. If not, it is a free download here.
It gives you visual access to tables, stored procedure and many of the other features of SQL Server. Not to mention a nice SQL editor with syntax highlighting which also works as a SQL console.
