I've got a stored procedure that is giving me a SqlException because of a timeout when I run it from code (with timeout set to 30). When I run the procedure directly in Management Studio, it executes in under 1 second. I also only get the timeout when running it against a specific database. When I use other databases it finishes quickly without an error. Here is the full error message: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError

I have a quite good number of queries and i want to test each of them with Include Actual Execution Plan feature on sql server management studio However it is not possible for me to do this manually for 1m + queries So i wonder can i execute them programmatically (from c#) with Include Actual Execution Plan feature and see whether SQL server suggests any index or not Scott Chamberlain First, before I go in to how to get the Actual Execution Plan in code and find the ones that report needing indexes I would recommend you look in to using the Database Engine Tuning Adviser (DTA) , you can feed

I'm trying to work out how to use SQL server management studio properly with multi-byte unicode characters. even something as simple as: select N'动漫' just returns square boxes in the result pane. I know the underlying database is set up correctly to handle unicode and other apps on the PC work fine with chinese characters any clues very much appreciated Changing the font to Arial Unicode MS did the trick for me. I don't understand why Text Results displays fine with Fonts where Grid Results does NOT, and why other Unicode Fonts don't work but oh well. After many frustrating hours with this

I have the value 1555.4899999999998 stored in a float column with default precision (53). When I do a simple select , SSMS rounds the output instead of printing it with all available precision. It's caused some gotchas for me recently since the value printed doesn't work as a float literal to match the actual stored value. For example (note that both of these numbers have an exact representation in the default float ), declare @f1 float declare @f2 float set @f1 = 1555.49 set @f2 = 1555.4899999999998 select @f1, @f2 select STR(@f1,30,15), STR(@f2,30,15) Outputs: 1555.49 1555.49 1555

I've got a SQL Database Table, which has 35 existing records. One of the fields in this table is called Name , nvarchar(100) , not null However, due to a recent change, I need to make this column nullable. When I change the column to allow nulls in SQL Server Management Studio, and go to save my changes, I get the following error: Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created How can I allow this to automatically be dropped and re-created? I've found the solution.
