I'm new to SSRS. Recently upgraded my development environment from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition. Currently my reports are made using Crystal Reports. I would like to to use SSRS and I'm trying find out my current environment will allow me to do it. So now I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and SQL Server 2008 R2.

We have several databases on SQL server. We would like to create 1 new user that can see database 'c' but can not see the rest of the databases. This user should only be able to select from this database, and nothing else. I have been googleing and searching for a while now, and the closest I found was to deny view any database, and then make them the database owner.

Edit: SQL Server 2008 R2, by the way. Edit2: Sorry, I

I need to clean up a table which has three columns, ID (uniqueidentifier), Observation (nvarchar), and Timestamp (datetimeoffset). The content is generated by two sensors at 1 hour interval, and the value of Observation is the same from the two sensors.

I have a situation in my SQL Server 2008. I need to change a column type, but the indexes are preventing the changes. But because of the database is on several clients, I don't know how many indexes exists involving the column. Is there any way of getting, programmatically speaking, all indexes that involve the column and drop them, and after the alter table statement recreate them automatically? I've heard that disabling them can mess with the table because of the change of type. I'm changing from tinyint to smallint type. DISABLE all indexes on destination table ALTER INDEX Indexname ON

Is there as way to create database diagram in Visual Studio as a Sql Server Project? I know it is possible to do it in sql server management studio, but I am also wondering if it is possible to do in Visual studio. As per MSDN ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y5a4ezk9.aspx ) the Visual Database Designer was deprecated in Visual Studio 2013. If you're using an older version of Visual Studio, note that support for the design tool within Visual Studio stops at SQL Server 2008 R2.
