how to save stored procedures on sql express server

Hi Guys

I have visual web developer and sqlexpress 2005 installed on my windows XP pro.

I am creating stored procedures through VWD and works fine for me. However today I realize I do not know how to create stored procedures through sqlexpress server managment.

When I try it it wants to save it as file. And if I do that I am not able to see them until manually open each .sql file.

so, could you enlighten me little please.

thanks
Cemal

the "disk" button states to actually save the text inside the query window... you can type (or cut&paste) some text, whatever thext in whatever language, and you can later save that text into a file...

when you have to create a stored procedure, you have to execute the data definition language statements defining that object.. so, say you have a text like

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[usp_my_stored_procedure]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC')) DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_my_stored_procedure]; GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_my_stored_procedure] AS BEGIN /**/ /*Author:xxx yyy zzz*/ /*Date:14/07/2007*/ /*Modified:__/__/_*/ /**/ /*Please report suggestions/comments/bugs/feedback to:*/ /*me@.me.com*/ /**/ /* - */ /*this procedure perform these tasks...*/ /**/ DECLARE @.msg varchar(1000); BEGIN TRY SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT col_list FROM [dbo].[my_table]; RETURN 0; END TRY BEGIN CATCH -- returns the occured exception DECLARE @.ErrorMSG varchar(2000); SET @.ErrorMSG = ERROR_MESSAGE() RAISERROR (@.ErrorMSG, 16, 1); RETURN -100 END CATCH END; GO

you have to execute it in order to "save" it within the database it belongs... to execute it, press the F5 key or the toolbarbutton with the "! Execute" mark...

how to run ssis in sql 2005

I have installed SQL 2005 Express edition both advanced features and toolkit. I have to import a sql 2000 database to sql 2005. I cannot see access to ssis in either Business Intelligence development studio or sql server management studio express. Can you tell me how access and run ssis?? Integration Services isn't included with any edition of SQL Server 2005 Express, as far as I am aware. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/compare/default.aspx for further information. See the Integration and Interoperability section of the following URL, http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx, for more specific information.

How to run SQL Server Management Studio

We have installed SQL Server 2005 on a machine running Windows 2003. We found
out that there is no Enterprise Manager, but Management Studio. We have no
idea how to run this.
We tried to remove SQL Server, but Add/Remove doesn't remove it. Just only
removes it from the list.
We hope we can get an answer, because we are a serious evaluating SQL 2005
over Oracle 10g.
Thanks for your help.

We have seen another post with the same problem but they were trying to

The bizarre thing is that it doesn't remove the installation through
Add/Remove Programs, while it takes it from the list. When you try to install
certain components (through Advanced) then it tells you it is already there.
Another problem is that when you install subcomponents it won't let you
install other subcomponents later.
This product definitely has installation issues and I hope they will be
resolved as the pack will now start evaluating (like us) and they're turned
away before they can even try away. A smooth installation is software
marketing 101.
Any help is appreciated. Even help to remove the product.

If you want to run commandline queries (I know that Oracle guys like that :-) ) you can use the OSQL.EXE (but this will be deprecated in the future) or the SQLCMD.EXE which is the successor of the OSQL.exe.

How to restore the entire replication topology in different boxe

We are migrating the entire sqlserver environment from Window2000 to Windows
2003 on different boxes with different NT servernames. I have installed the
sqlserver instances and I have restored the publisher, distribution db on the
primary side and the subscriber db on the replicated side. However, I don't
see any publications under the replication folder. Do I need to go through
the replication configuration first then restore the distribution?
Please advise. Thanks.
Wen,
for migrating to another server which has a different netbios name, the only
realistic solution is to script out the publications on the original setup,
install the new servers and then run the scripts on the new server, changing
the necessary parts eg servername and job owners.
Cheers,

how to restore sql server 2000 db backup into sql server 2005 express edition

Hi Friends,

I have installed SQL server 2005 Express Edition and SQL Server management

I have a SQL server 2000 db backup file. I try create a new database in my SQL server 2005 express Edition and try restore that backup file from device, it only searching for file with *.bak and *.tm extension! I tried generate backup file with .bak extension and tried restore into SQl server 2005 express edition but still it is not allowing to do so! I also tried copy my database's data file and log file and paste it under SQL server 2005 express edition Data folder and still not able to read the tables.

Is that any ways to do restoring for this SQL server 2000 backup file into SQL server 2005 express edition! Anybody can help me on this please...:eek:Can you please be a little more specific, with maybe some error codes, etc? I don't have any express edition experience, but if you give us some error codes or the scripts you use for the restore, we might be able to help you.|||Hi Friend, Thanks for your help!

Well, I guess i found the way. I believe it is because the sql 2005 doesn't support the sql 2000 backup file, Im not sure! So i tried attached the database from sql server 2000 into sql server 2005 then it can already.After that i hv tried take backup from sql server 2005 itself and then restore it back ,it is can be restored successfully! Thank God finally i got a way to do it ...phew
