JKJK — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 11:20:55 +0000

Hi, I am currently going through the Tutorials on SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2.

One of the samples instructs me to run the following code:

SELECT Mgr.EmployeeID AS MgrID, Mgr.LoginID AS Manager, Emp.EmployeeID AS E_ID, Emp.LoginID, FROM EmployeeDemo AS Emp LEFT JOIN EmployeeDemo AS Mgr ON Emp.ManagerID = Mgr.EmployeeID ORDER BY MgrID, E_ID;

[em]When i execute the above code i get the following error message:[/em]

[strong]Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Incorrect syntax near the keyword ‘FROM’. [/strong]

[strong]Any idea’s what the problem might be?[/strong]

[strong]Thanks[/strong]

Software to automate backups for SQL Server 2008 databases

Phrathepmali — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:44:31 +0000

I am running SQL Server 2008 and I know how to create backups of this data manually using SQL managment studio but we are looking for a way to automate the process. Does anyone know of a product that can be utilized to do this? Or a way the managment studio can be set up to do this? It’s not difficult to create backups of the database and transaction logs but it would be greatly more efficent if the process could be done on a schedule.

Can’t create ODBC connection to sql 2005 instance

Therockatmsu — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:20:27 +0000

I have a server 2003 two node cluster with SQL 2005 installed. The orginal instance is working fine and there is no connection problem. I have created a second instance and can connect with the SQL Management Studio. When i try to create a ODBC connection from my client os both XP and VISTA both fail saying sql server error: 14. I am guessing there is a permission problem but I can’t figure out where to start.

Copying view from remote to local SQL Server with SSMS

Tsp1965 — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 14:52:16 +0000

I’m currently trying to get to grips with an upgrade from sql server 2000 to 2008, forced by an upgrade at my ISP.

I’m used to using Enterprise Manager to export data from my ISP to my local machine for backup, and this process copying tables as tables, views as

views and so on. But using Export in SSMS 2008 doesn’t seem to do that. Instead it takes a query, runs it to create a table and then exports the table

with data. So instead of ending up with a query with its permissions, I end up with a table which is no use to me.

Obviously I can open the query, copy its sql, open a new local query, paste the sql and then set all the permissions, but this is a very long winded

way and can’t be automated.

I’m sure there’s something really obvious I am doing wrong, but I just can’t find it!

There are lots of differences between 2000 and 2005/8, but I can’t find any helpful web resource to give me a quick guide to what to do differently

with 2008. Books online gives you chapter and verse on the new product, but not the idiot’s guide to what’s changed. If anyone knows of a good web

resource, I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
