SQL Server 2000 capabilities only. And it's cheeper )

AdventureWorks Report Samples Problem

Hi,
I am trying to deploy the AdventureWorks OLAP cube in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Samples\AdventureWorks Analysis Services
Project but unfortunately the folder "AdventureWorks Analysis Services
Project" does not exist nor does the file Adventure Works DW.dwproj. I have
installed the samples using the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Samples installer.
Where can I find this directory and project?
Kind regards,

AdventureWorks database question

How can I install theAdventureWorks database on my box where C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Samples\ is missing? My SQL 2005 is currently without AdventureWorks OLT. I downloaded the Enterprise trial before uninstalling SQL2005Express. Please help. Thanks.

It looks like the AdventureWorks database can be downloadedhere.

HTH,
Ryan

As I did the following:

exec

sp_attach_db @.dbname=N'AdventureWorks', @.filename1=N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf', @.filename2=N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_log.ldf'

Here's what came back:

Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

Could not open new database 'AdventureWorks'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.

Msg 602, Level 21, State 50, Line 1

Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 24, object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes.

What's wrong here?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Find instawdb.sql and execute it. This will open "SQL server manegament studio. Enter localhost for servername then click connect. On the sql editor toolbar click execute. wait until get the message "database installed succesfully" in the status bar.

When I do that I get the following error messages:

I do not know about an easy way, however, you could use a product like WISE
to create an installation package.

|||As far as I know there is not away to deploy an installation of the SQL
Server client tools, except by running setup from the SQL Server CD or
using the sqlcli.bat on the CD.

Administrate SQL Server 2005 only with client tools

Can I administrate a remote SQL Server 2005 from my machine after
installing Native Client tools only? Is there any "Enterprise-Manager"
like environment after installing client tools utility?
I'm also running SQL Server 2000 on my machine. Any problems here or
incompatibilities with 2000 and 2005 client tools?
Thanks in advance.
Hi
You use "SQL Server Management Studio" to manage SQL Server 2005
Native tools does not give you this, you need to install the full client
tools.
Currently SQL Server 2005 is still in beta so don't take it near production
and use at own risk.

Initially I only installed Native Client Tools, but realised that I
needed all Client Tools, specially SQL Server Management Studio.

admin tool for MSDE?

What admin tools are developers using for MSDE applications? If SQL Server
Enterprise Manager is unavailable and the Web Access tool is just too
clunky, what else is popular?
Thanks,
Bill
Cincinnati,OH USA
My favourite (if EM is not applicable) is QALite which is a really cool tool
for scripting and other things, just try this.
