I am using visual studio 2013 and trying to learn local database operations. I have created a database using VS and create tables. But I cannot rename table names. There is no such a option anywhere or I cannot see. I searched but find nothing.
Could anyone show me how to rename table using 'VISUAL STUDIO 2013 SSDT'
Open the table, highlight the table name in the T-SQL portion of the window, click the SQL menu, then choose Refactor and Rename. You probably want to preview changes while you're at it to see what will be affected.

When I try to create Light Switch App. I just added new table as an appendix to existing database with existing tables. All native tables will show up, except the new one. Any idea?
Table Exist in Server Explorer but not in solution explorer
I am using VS 2013 for database project. I want to drop ojected from target db which are not in db project including table and SP's. I have checked property "DROP objects in target but not in project" but it doesn't work. I still see table in target which is not part of db solution. I do not see any warnings either and btw table is empty so it should be dropped without warnings anyway. I have used same option in older version of Visual studio and it worked.
Any suggestions?
I know this is a long time coming to answer the question, but this is how I resolved the problem. I simply opened the SQL File TableName.sql
Ctrl+a (aka select all)
Compare
It will show the file with an action to delete in the compare
Update
Delete the file from Visual Studio 2013 project
With the exception of a little HTML/Javascript, I've always used C++ on Visual Studio C++ 2010. I have an internship next week that will involve the use of SQL and .Net. I'm currently reading a book on SQL and it instructs us to go to its website to download code so that we can practice. The website is here: http://forta.com/books/0672336073/ I downloaded the one labeled "Microsoft SQL Server" which is basically two .sql files. One creates a simple database and the other one populates it.
However, for the life of me I cant figure out how to do it on Visual Studio 2010 or 2013 (I downloaded the full version of 2010). If anyone knows how to get these file to run on either VS version I would be very happy. I'm used to just hitting the green arrow button in Visual Studio C++ 2010, which I believe is execute. Obviously it isnt working for my sql code.
On VS 2013 I created a new "SQL Server Database Project". I then added two new "Application Role" items for the two .sql files. Now after clicking the "SQL" tab and "Execute" I get error messages about duplicate objects/keys, which I assume means the database is already created...but how do I view it? At one instance I mustve hit the right combination of buttons because I was able to view my database in a table format.
Thanks for any suggestions!
In visual studio go to view and select sql server, (see image) then click the + symbol and connect to the server installed on your machine (if its not yet listed)
I have created a new SQL database in my Visual Studio Express 2012 website. This appears in the AppData folder. I can open the database in the Database explorer and now I want to add some empty data tables.
I right click on the Tables folder and select Add New Table. I get the screen (below). When I have finished I click Update and it appears to do something but then the table has not appeared in the Tables folder.
I have also tried clicking the save button, and saving the table manually in the AppData folder, but yet it still does not appear in the Tables folder.
What am I doing wrong please?
Here is the solution-

Steps 1-Change the name of table [dbo].[table---(change this)]
Step 2-Don't save the table after creating them rather choose option update table and then update database.
Step 3-On refreshing the tables you will be able to see your table.
In my case, Visual Studio was saving the table to my documents. It should be writing the table to the MDF file. I used the designer to generate the T-SQL, then I copied the T-SQL right clicked on the tables folder, chose 'New Query' pasted the T-SQL commands, set the target database as shown in the image and ran the query. Finally!
In the 'New Query' window within VS 2012 Express, there is an 'available databases' drop down. Choose your database that is part of your solution and execute the T-SQL
Have you tried refreshing the tables list on the right hand side?
Make following change:
CREATE TABLE [dbo][change_this_name]
click the update button on top left corner.
I was up against this same problem in Visual Studio 2013 Community. The solution was to go to Tools -> Extensions and Updates and then download the SQL server compact / sql lite toolbox. VS2013 will prompt you to restart for the new extension to take effect.
After the restart, your databases will have a red "x" on them. Right click them, select modify connection and then take the defaults.
Visual Studio will then pull its head out of its hind parts, and those tables you've been saving that never appeared in the tables folder before will be auto-magically there.
Hope this helps.
Let's imagine I added new column for some table in SQL Server Management Studio. Is there any way to get change script which is executed when I press save?
What I want to achieve is to apply the same change to other databases (we have a separate database for each developer for debuggin purposes).
I assume you are using table designer in MS SSMS.
Do the changes in the designer and just before hitting Save, go to the Table Designer menu and select Generate Change Script....
