ssms

Normally when I want to change the connection for a Query Editor Window in SQL Server Management Studio, I can select a new connection from the menus at the top - Query > Connection > Change Connection . However, when I am working on cubes with an analysis services connection - and then open a saved SQL script (such as the underlying SQL view) the Available Databases combobox is blank, and the "Change Connection" and other 3 options in that menu (Connect, Disconnect, Disconnect all queries) are all greyed out. The only workaround I have found to be able to run the saved SQL script, is to open

I have a strange situation. IT installed SSMS on my laptop and it runs well the first time, connected to my SQL servers remotely etc. But then it's frozen. I forced quit and then started SSMS again. Now it's totally frozen, no popup window at all to enter the server-connection text string. Then I did a force quit and got a pop up window ( see it here ). Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio has detected that an operation is blocking user input. This can be caused by an active modal dialog or a task that needs to block user interaction. Would you like to shut down anyway? Has anyone seen this

I'm trying to create an add-in for SSMS 2008 and/or 2008 R2 but I've run into a problem straight away. I can get my add-in to work and on SSMS start-up get it to simply show a message box.

I'm working on Visual Studio 2010. It's a bit frustrating because I'm keen to learn more about SSMS add-ins but

I know Red Gate has such a product, but I'd rather not have to pay for something which, in my opinion, should be built into SSMS. Thanks! I totally agree with you on this. Sadly I never found any plugins that you are talking about. So, I moved to tools from EMS SQL Server Manager and TOAD for SQL server. I think the SQL Server 2008 Studio has intellisense but in the express edition, i found it to be seriously lacking. I’m using ApexSQL Complete . It’s quite good for a free add-in but I’ve found it has some issues working with linked server. Aqua Data Studio is free if you develop for

I have an Excel workbook with the below code - Sub Button1_Click() Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection Dim iRowNo As Integer Dim sFirstName, sLastName As String With Sheets("Sheet1") 'Open a connection to SQL Server conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;" & _ "Data Source=server1;" & _ "Initial Catalog=table1;" & _ "User ID=user1; Password=pass1" 'Skip the header row iRowNo = 2 'Loop until empty cell in CustomerId Do Until .Cells(iRowNo, 1) = "" sFirstName = .Cells(iRowNo, 1) sLastName = .Cells(iRowNo, 2) 'Generate and execute sql statement ' to import the excel rows to SQL Server table conn.Execute
