Let's imagine I added new column for some table in SQL Server Management Studio. Is there any way to get change script which is executed when I press save? What I want to achieve is to apply the same change to other databases (we have a separate database for each developer for debuggin purposes). I assume you are using table designer in MS SSMS. Do the changes in the designer and just before hitting Save , go to the Table Designer menu and select Generate Change Script... . 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6247556/generate-changes-script

I'm using SQL Management Studio 2008 Express as a graphic interface to my local SQL Server 2008 Express instance, both of which I have locally only as a test and developement interface for my web projects. I have recently grown more confident in SQL coding, and started to use some more complicated sql stuff - my latest field of exploration being triggers. However, to my great surprise I don't seem to have admin rights on my server instance, which means I can't do simple things like debugging or changing access rights. When I try to start debugging I get a permission denied message, and I have

I knew that we have something like this in the regular expression syntax world. *The syntax is {min,max}, where min is a positive integer number indicating the minimum number of matches, and max is an integer equal to or greater than min indicating the maximum number of matches. So {0,} is the same as * , and {1,} is the same as +* . http://www.regular-expressions.info/repeat.html But how can I use it in SQL Server Management Studio or Visual Studio's "Find and Replace" window. I only find related Microsoft syntax in MSDN . Like: [0-9]^4 matches any 4-digit sequence. Tim Pietzcker The Visual

In Visual Studio's Server Explorer window there's a very nice feature that lets you see the DB objects grouped by schema: It turns this object tree: Data Connections -> MyServer -> Tables -> MyTable ( MySchema ) Into this one: Data Connections -> MyServer -> Schemas -> MySchema -> MyTable I've been looking for this particular feature in SSMS but was unable to find it. Does it exist? If not, is there a plugin which would provide this feature? Or perhaps is there a plugin which would help ease navigation in DBs which have lots of objects? Please note I'm aware of SSMS object filters. It's better

While using SQL Server Management Studio (2008), is it possible to open a table in Edit mode through keyboard shortcut or even some special keyword I type while in "New Query" window? No this can't be done. You can open a table by right clicking on the table you want to edit and selecting "edit all rows" - before doing this make sure your options are set tools/options/ Sql server object explorer/commands. Dont know if that helps but maybe. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2764587/sql-server-management-studio-open-table-for-editing-through-keyboard-shortcut

In a sql table I have a bit field and the value is displayed as True, when I update in code Update table1 set Active='True' it makes the update but the value is now displayed as 1 instead of True . How do I make it put the value 'True' instead of the integer in the table? Thanks. Bits in SQL Server are always stored as 1 or 0 in a bitmap. The "Edit Table" option in SSMS just translates this to True or False for presentation purposes, this is nothing to do with how it is actually stored. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6879999/update-sql-bit-field-in-database

Why does SQL server 2008 always warn about needing to drop tables to rename columns? I was under impression this was not required unless it was a key. If I change a column from null to not null even if is not a key field it wants to drop table and all relations. If you're editing the table in the designer then it's the designer that is being pedantic. Try changing (unchecking) these options: Tools > Designers > Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation The designer still throws an warning dialog after unchecking that but there is also this option to uncheck: Tools > Designers >

Is it possible to create a new menu item in SQL Server 2008 Management Studio? For example when you right-click the a database a list of options appears (New Database, New Query ... ).
