I currently have a mdf database on management studio and I would like to export the data to a sql file. Exporting the data with the data-source: SQL Server Native Client works fine, but i have no idea where he saved the exported data. Any help?
You need to go in Database->Tasks->Generate Scripts.
Select options there and you will able to generate complete db in SQL Script

Hey IO have an old access data base and I have reeated the New data base using SQL Server Management Studio but all the data is still in the Access data base and I was wondering how to link these two. I have been trying to create the linked tables in access using the ODBC tool but none of the table I want are appearing?
Was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can do this?
Also I then have started to create the front end of the database using Visual Studio but cant get the fields to populate as the SQL database currently has no data linked to it
Instead of linking tables have you considered using SQL Server Express (you did not mention what the 'new database' is, assume Access?) and the data import wizard to port the data to SQL Server? You get all the tools by downloading 'SQL Server with tools' from Microsoft. And use SSMS for management functions, it is much easier than the Visual Studio interface.
I have a CSV file which I wish to populate into a SQL Server table hosted on AppHarbor.
I am currently connected to the SQL Server Database via SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2
I am traditionally from a mySQL background. And in PHPmyadmin, I am able to click a button to import a CSV file into a new table, then simply rename the table within php myadmin.
Is there any similar functionality in SQL Server?
How can I insert table data from a CSV file hosted on my local machine, onto a SQL server table hosted in AppHarbor?
I am not sure, but can the utility will help DTSWizard.exe
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\DTSWizard.exe"
You can use the import wizard.
In SQL Server Management Studio:
Right click the database
Select Tasks
Select Import Data...
Use wizard to import the file
This will support data movement to / from many different data formats (excel,csv,flat,sql server...)
I have been asked by a client of mine if it would be possible for their warehouse to send a csv file of their stock to our server which then updates our sql server database automatically with the csv content. Aparently their sage system does this but im not sure if i can do it with standard sql server management studio 2008 i have on my server?
There are two ways that I use to do such tasks:-
Build an SSIS package to open/parse/import the data.
Use the OPENROWSET function. If the filename of the CSV is always the same, then it makes this option simpler.
i have a very simple excel file that i need to import into a table in sql server 2008.
one of the fields is a bit complex and i dont think it can be saved effectively to a csv, since it sometimes has comas and single quotes in it. it screwed up the formatting when i save to a csv. so i would like to try to import directly from the xls file.
does anyone know how to import from xls to sql server ?
For Express, run C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\DTSWizard.exe
try using the sql server management studio
right click in your database -> Tasks -> Import Data..

How to: Run the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
SQL Server has an import wizard that works with .xls files.
The import wizard generates an SSIS package for you. If you want more control, you can create the SSIS package yourself in Visual Studio.

How to export a database schema and the data in Microsoft SQL Server Management Express? In other words given a database and the data, I want to create an .sql script that will recreate the table structure and the data inside it.
This can't easily be done within the SQL Express Tools.
If you're willing to look at other tools, have a look at the Database Publishing Wizard from the SQL Server Hosting Toolkit. It's an open-source which will script a database and data into a single script.
Go to:
\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn
and run:
DTSWizard.exe
example, mine is:
H:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\DTSWizard.exe
Thats all
