I am using SQL Assistant as my workbench for TERADATA.
Recently, my system crashed and i had to setup the SQL assistant again.
SQL history was available in a MS Access DB file and i was able to save a lot of time as i had backed it up earlier.
However, i had a tough time with the following :
I had setup multiple preferences in SQL assistant including export paramter,date display format,etc.
All these preferences were gone after re-installation.
Is there an option for backup/restore of these preferences ??
There are multiple preferences and is convenient if those can also be restored with few clicks.
I am guessing that there should be a file where its stored. Not sure of concept or location.
I found the answer to above issue.
The preferences file can be found at the following locations and can be backed up whenever required.
DataSources.config.
Toolbars.config
UserOptions.config : This is important considering the export/import options are changed by most users.
Following link explains in detail: Teradata: SQL Assistant Backup/Restore Guide
I hope it helps.

I'm totally new in SQL and trying to find a way to get the diagram of a database. As most of you know it's just a right click for windows user. However it's a bit difficult for MAC&Azure users (at least for me). I can get a schema through database >> manage >> schema visualisation, but it's not as good as the diagrams on windows and I can't extract it most of the times due to the various errors! So, are there any free extension or other ways that I can use to see the primary keys and the ties between tables? Thanks in advance.
You can use JetBrains DataGrip tool to create database diagrams. DataGrip is a SQL server GUI tool for Windows, macOS, Linux. To generate a database diagram in DataGrip,
Right click database object in the database explorer.
Select diagrams -> Show visualization

I am trying to create a full-text search mechanism, to do that I created full text catalog in my local database. Then I opened context menu and it had properties option.
I opened it and set up tables/views tracking. But when I tried to do the same with remote Azure database, I could not open properties window.
Any idea how can I open/edit settings I need?
I was playing around with SSMS and found an interesting solution to this. As Alberto Morillo mentioned, to do operations with Azure SQL DB you need to use Transact-SQL. I never worked with it and basic SQL knowledge turned out to be not enough. But I found interesting option in SSMS. I went to my local DB, created new catalog, set everything like I need and instead of saving, I pressed 'Save script to file'. This generated Transact-SQL code that I needed, all I did after is changed names and executed that queries on my Azure DB.
Thanks in advance for any help.
We have a particular database on a SQL Server 2012 box along with about 20 other databases.
What I require is a method/script/audit (open minded about the solution) that will simply track anyone who logs in (successfully / unsuccessful) to this one particular database on the server (the single database is the key as the end user does not want information on any of the other databases that sit on the server), it also has to log time the attempt was made and it must track the logins via SQL Server or the application itself that is attached to the database.
Once we have this information we need to simply store that somehow. I say somehow as the storing part depends on the solutions recommended to me, so I’m open minded about this too.
Any help would be great as I'm scratching my head on this one.
There's actually a tool built into SQL Management Studio for this.
Please see the attached link for Configure Login Auditing
Once it has been setup, all events will be recorded in the error log.
I am using WSS 3.0 and trying to restore a mdf. I attached the database in SQL Management Studio, created a new web application, and associated the database to it. When I go into Central Administration-> Application Management -> Content Databases I see the WSS_Content and it says Sites: 2. One of the sites looks more similar to the other. I was able to log into the Sharepoint web app that has the db attached to it, and while it gives me the basic structure of the backed up site, the content of lists is blank, that was the data I was really after (Announcements, tasks, etc exist as lists but are empty). How do I get access to this?
Kindly remove your old database and make newly added database as a default/only database for your webapplication
I'd link to the the data from SQL Server into an Access database.. and then use MS Access to write these values back into sharepoint.
I've written a LOT of data to sharepoint using MS Access.. and I love the functionality.
the data is in SQL server.. but it's got different guids, or it's not wired up from what I'd assume.
You have the data posted to the SQL Server instance.. I'd just link to it in MS Access, write a couple of queries.. recreate a couple of lists.. and then push it from queries based on Access linked tables (to sql server).. and then jam it into Access linked tables (to sharepoint).
Open Access. right-click link basically. times two. and write a couple of queries.
If it was me, and it was just a couple of lists, I'd do this in a couple of minutes I swear.
Hi My company is deciding for switching its existing application to azure platform (only Sql Part). So we need to upload our db from local to cloud. For migration i came across various tools like
1. cerebrata 's tools
2. SqlAzure Migration wizard
3. Microsoft Sql Data Sync
4. Conventional Script way via management studio.
But all the above tools showed that they have limited capacity. A user cannot work flawlessly on either of the tool.
In cerebrata's tool - the main drawback was its field for Application User Name and Application Key , which my admin havent shared. Also there is manual mapping of fields between azure and local.
Sql Azure Migration wizard - generates scripts and executed too but with lots of error . I was using its version 2.1. Also it very slow. It seems that its a replica of Sql Srvr Mgmt Studio.
Sql Data Sync :- I found it cool as its a MS product but it has limitation too that it only connects with Windows Authentication based local sql server, or you need to explicitly allow the required but. Even after allowing while syncing , I got some Sql Azure Provisioning Error.
4 Sql Srvr Mgmt Studio :- This is most easiest way but requires a lot of manual work to do before actual migration. What i did is that I generated a script of entire db (almost 101123 lines of code for single db) and tried to execute on azure. On the very first time i faced some keyword mismatch error . Finally i removed all line after primary key declaration that With (Padding = Off ....)or something similar and also On Primary then i executed , but still got error on Set Identity Insert On. After doing a lot of hard work in removing unwanted lines waited more than 2 hrs to completed the script remotely, i got no Errors , errors and errors.
So you guys are requested to please suggest me any good alternative stated than above or i am lacking something and can do more with above.
Thanks

I've faced a similar problem recently, running through the options you've listed.
You might give a try to Red-Gate beta for Azure (free for a few months). I found their tools to be quite good for SQL schema and data replication.
Never tried the Azure build myself, though (I migrated tables manually by the time I was told about the offer).
