You need to download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 (Or the 2008 version). It is also possible to design the database and run queries inside. SQL Server 2005 does NOT come with a the 'Query Analyzer' or 'isqlw' as we have grown to know it. It comes with a SQL Server Management Studio (If you are running SQL Server 2005 Express, this is a separate download). The Management Studio is the Query Analyzer. KNOCKS SQL-Sense provides Intellisense style help while writing SQL Statements in Microsoft Query Analyzer, SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio.NET 2003. It simply sits behind the scenes and provides unobtrusive help w. The SQL Query Analyzer is the main interface for running SQL queries against your database. You can use the SQL Query Analyzer to create and run adhoc scripts, or you can create SQL scripts and save them for later use.

Introduction

SQL Express 2005 is a new, FREE, Microsoft SQL Server lightweightedition. This new edition is the upgrade to Microsoft's SQL Server 2000Desktop Edition (MSDE). Targeted to developers of 'simple'applications, it includes a fully functional SQL Server database engine and a QueryAnalyzer type management tool. And best of all, it is FREE to use andredistribute.

What is a 'Simple' application?

Microsoft repeatedly uses the phrases 'simpleapplications', 'lightweight,' and 'mobile or webapplications' when describing the target uses for SQL Server Express2005. However, the generous restrictions of Express make it an ideal databasefor many applications. Express is limited to 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, and 4 GB Maxdatabase size. There is NO workload governor (See July article SQLSever 2000 MDSE for a complete description of the workload governor). Meaning SQL will not slow, or restrict its response times due to licensingconstraints. SQL Server Express can be installed on a machine with multipleCPUs and RAM in excess of 1 GB, but the database engine will limit scheduler threadsto one, meaning only one CPU will be used. Similarly, the buffer pool, wheredata pages are stored, will only use 1 GB of RAM, regardless of any additionalmemory available. Enterprise features are not supported on SQL Express. Missing are Analysis Services, Reporting Services, DTS, and NotificationServices. Aside from these restrictions, the SQL Server Express databaseengine is the same one found in the other SQL products. Triggers, cursors,views, stored procedures, CLR, XML, and TSQL are all supported the same waythey are in any other version of SQL Server.

Some Microsoft documentation describes SQL Express as a toolfor hobbyists and non-database experts. Don't let these descriptions dissuadeyour use of SQL Express. It is a full featured robust SQL Server engine. AlthoughSQL Express does ship with a tool similar to Query Analyzer, I feel hobbyistsfamiliar with Microsoft Access, or File Maker Pro will not be able to make thetransition. SQL Express is still SQL Server. For DBAs, this is a very goodthing. The familiar methods, functions, and concepts from other versions ofSQL Server carry over without change to SQL Express.

Requirements

SQL Express is supported on all versions of Windows 2000,and Windows XP Pro. A Pentium III 550 with 256 MB of RAM and 405 MB of diskspace is needed. In addition, the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is required. It can be downloaded free of charge from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b7adc595-717c-4ef7-817b-bdefd6947019&DisplayLang=en. This article was written with the February 2005 Community Technology Previewof SQL Server 2005 Express, which can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=08215D3F-9A1D-483F-8E21-A2EE19936899&displaylang=en.

SQL Installation

First, install the Net Framework following the defaults. Next, install SQL Server Express by double clicking the downloaded file. TheCTP setup should begin. After several screens, the install will come to theSystem Configuration Check. Verify that the status of all actions is Success.

At the Feature Selection screen, select the ClientComponents to be installed to the hard drive. Then the SDK and tools will beavailable.

On the next screen, Authentication, select 'WindowsAuthentication Mode' if only Windows users will have permission to SQLExpress. If you need SQL users defined as well as Windows users, select 'MixedMode' and specify a password for sa.

Sql Server Query Analyzer 2005

Continue through the next screens to complete theinstallation. An instance called SQL Express will be created by default. Installations can also be accomplished by using an unattended install script. For ISVs, SQL Express now supports Application XCopy, allowing SQL Express totreat databases like files. Therefore, a database can be moved, copied, oremailed along with an application.

Query Analyzer Sql Server

Posted Oct 6, 2006

Introduction

Included with SQL 2005 is the new Management Studio graphical interface. This tool combines many of the features that were previously found in the SQL Sever 2000 Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer. Those features are now combined into one interface along with a high number of enhancements. This article will introduce many of the features and options of the new Management Studio so your project can get up and running rapidly. Next month, we will touch on the Business Intelligence Development Studio, another new GUI included with SQL 2005.

Panels

When starting up the Management Studio, several panels or windows will appear. Below are pictured the Registered Servers, Object Explorer, and Query panels.

Windows and panels can be turned on or off by selecting them on the View menu located on the top tool bar.

Registered Servers Panel

Database server connections can be saved and organized in the Registered Servers panel. Once a server is registered, it can be managed and displayed in the Object Explorer panel. Below are the steps to create a new registration;

1. Click the Database Engine icon. (The yellow cylinder under the words Registered Servers)

2. Right click “Database Engine” inside the Registered Servers panel.

3. Select New, Server Registration.

4. Enter the server and connection information.

5. Save

The other option listed under New was to create a Sever Group. Groups allow a collection of servers to be organized inside a common folder.

Right clicking on the server once it is registered allows you to Start and Stop the server. In addition, its Configuration Manager can be invoked.

Double clicking the new registration will connect the Management Studio to the database server and present it in the Object Explorer panel.

Object Explorer

The Object Explorer can be used to graphically display almost every object associated with a Sever, such as databases, procedures, views, security, and jobs.

Drilling down into the Databases folder will display all the tables, views, procedures (located under the programmability folder), and security associated with the database. The Security folder contains logins and roles. The Server Objects folder holds Endpoints, Linked Servers, and Triggers. Replication holds publications. The Management folder contains Maintenance plans, Database Mail, Full Text, and the Distributed Transaction Coordinator. Lastly, there is a folder for Notification Services.

To create a new database from the Object Explorer, right click Databases and select New Database, then provide a database name.

Query Analyzer

The SQL 2000 tool Query Analyzer has now been integrated into the Sever Manager. To create a new query, follow the steps below;

1. Start in the Object Explorer.

2. Expand the Databases folder.

3. Right Click a database name and select “New Query.”

This will bring a blank query window into the Query panel. There should also be “SQL Editor” tool bar located along the top border as shown below.

If the tool bar isn’t visible, right click on an empty space in the top menu bar; a sub menu of available tool bars should appear. Select “SQL Editor.

Query Editor

Rather than construct queries by hand in the Query panel, they can be designed graphically in a tool called Query Editor. The tool is very similar to designing queries in Microsoft Access and is pictured below.

This tool existed in SQL 2000, but was limited to only SELECT queries. UPDATES and DELETES were not supported. In 2005, they are now supported along with INSERTS. To invoke the Query Designer, right click anywhere in a blank query window and select “Design Query in Editor.” By default, the designer is set to SELECT. To change to some other type, such as INSERT, right click anywhere in the designer, then select “Change Type,” as shown below.

Solution Explorer

The Solution Explorer is new in SQL 2005. This panel allows for a collection of TSQL scripts to be organized into a Visual Studio style project and solution and is displayed below. If the panel isn’t visible, enable it by selecting View from the top menu, then Solution Explorer.

• You can insert different effects and features in your old pictures. • Beginners can easily be change audio sounds of video by inserting new sounds according to your demand. Serial generator. • You can zoom pictures any time when your showing it.

Besides the organization benefit, solutions can be added to Microsoft Source Safe. Source Safe is a separate application used for versioning control. If you are already using Visual Studio with Source Safe, you’ll find the same concepts you currently use, like check in – check out, apply. To initially setup source control, go to the top menu and select Tools, Options, then Source Control.

Maintenance Plans

Maintenance Plans are packages that can be executed or scheduled to do house keeping tasks such as backups, re-indexing, and history cleanup. Plans are found in the Object Explorer, inside the Management Folder, under Maintenance Plans. The SQL 2000 Maintenance Job Wizard is included in SQL 2005, but has been expanded to include additional options. To create a plan, right click “Maintenance Plans and select either the Wizard or to manually create one. If you receive an “Agents XP” error, run the following script;

Selecting the wizard will being up an easy to follow, “Click Next,” graphical interface for creating Maintenance Plans. However, the manual option is almost as easy. After selecting the option to create a manual plan, a new window of tasks that can be dragged and dropped is presented. These are placed on a form one at a time then connected to each other as shown below.

Activity Monitor

The Activity Monitor gives a quick view of database locks and processes. The Monitor is found in the Object Explorer, under Management. There are three views. The first shows total system processes, the second displays Locks by Process, and the third shows Locks by Objects. All three can be filtered when searching for something specific.

Conclusion

Many useful tools have been added to the new SQL 2005 Management Studio. This article introduced only a few of the more common panels. Next month, we’ll continue with Diagrams for Foreign Key mapping, and the Debugging of stored procedures.
