I am trying to debug a long stored procedure in Visual Studio 2008. I have followed all the steps on this link, but I still get the same error:
'Canceled by user' and it never hits the breakpoint.
Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2005 are running on 2 different servers and domains although I can see the SQL Server from the PC running Visual Studio.
I think that you are already on the right track, as that article on sql team is exactly what I would have pointed you to. Can you verify that you've read and followed the instructions he points you at:
Setting Up SQL Debugging
Every single time that I've encountered that lame excuse for an error message, I've found it to be a configuration problem of one sort or another.
In SQL Server execute sp_addsrvrolemember '[Domain]\[ID]', 'sysadmin' to add yourself as a system administrator to the database.
a colleague just got the 'Canceled by user' when Stepping into a Stored Procedure. The solution in this case:
Shift + right click to open Visual Studio as Administrator

Is anybody else having an issue when they right click on an SP, and not seeing the option to execute the SP? Only option that I have is to script as execute. I am running SQL Server 2016 express.
Too long for comment!
I suggest that you back up the database now. Full and transaction.
Then check the Compatibility level. Change it back to your previous version of SQL server. Take another back up (to a new file!!).
Now did you upgrade the whole of SQL server or just SSMS? You could just install another earlier version of SSMS and leave the existing server in place and running, test to see if the functionality is all still there with the new (older) SSMS and the old (Ok most recently installed SQL Server).
Microsoft are doing monthly releases of SSMS so it is changing fast - which can mean bugs, but the server should be more stable, so the problem could just be a SSMS issue and your database could be fine.
New patch came out. It works wonderfully now. My issue was resolved. Thanks for the help...
Well, I have a database running on shared hosting and have successfully connected to it. However, i cannot see the database but when i run i.e.
SELECT * FROM Item
Item is a table in it, i get correct result.
Further more, when connected via Visual Studio 2010 with the same credentials, i see it.
Ive had this issue before and resolved it by applying the current Service Pack to SSMS
It looks like a bug in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. See https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/387616/tables-node-does-not-show-all-schemas-in-ssmse-2008
I have installed the free version of sql server 2008 (sql server management studio express edition) on my PC. After installation I get the following error
create table permission denied in database 'master'
I tried reinstalling several times, but I keep getting the same error. When i checked
select user_account();
It showed that I was logged in as guest. How do I solve this? since I am not permitted to create a new login.
I've read the error can be caused by UAC (on older versions of SQL Server Express). Try right-clicking on SQL Studio and running as administrator.
If that doesn't work there's supposedly a fix here for the same issue. Probably worth a try.
Script to add the current user to the SQL Server 'sysadmin' role
You should use sp_addsrvrolemember to add your user into role 'sysadmin'. Here is link that helped me to solve this problem: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/76fc84f9-437c-4e71-ba3d-3c9ae794a7c4/
If your table actually exists in a different database (not master), you will need to switch to that database. A GUI option to change the database reference is shown below.
I had the sam eproblem even though I was logged in as master. I was showing logged in as "guest", when I used 'select user_name();'. I used 'USE ,Database>' clause before script an dit really worked. I hope this works for some of you too.
select USER_NAME() execute this query,if you find the username as guest then just close the sql server..
2.Then go to start menu right click the sql server icon and choose the option "Run as administrator"..Now you can create the database
If you got the same error in Sql server 2008 management studio than below link will resolve this error after so much i found this and check answer by blipsalt http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/76fc84f9-437c-4e71-ba3d-3c9ae794a7c4/
I was also facing the same problem. After putting in a great effort I came across this beautiful link
http://www.metatexis.net/manual_server/errorwhenusingmssqlservernamedpipesprovidercouldnotopenaconnectiontosqlserver.htm
The problem with my Sql Server was that I could login using USER-NAME account but not USER-NAME\SQLEXPRESS account. USER-NAME server had just Guest permissions whereas USER-NAME\SQLEXPRESS has complete permissions. You can check that by executing this query.
select user_name()
I went on to check whether my service is running or not. You can do that by clicking start and typing in "services.msc". Open that and search for "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)". Start it if its not already started.
In my case it was disabled. I right clicked it. Went to properties and changed "Startup type" to "Automatic".
After doing all this I started Sql Server Management Studio again and connected using USER-NAME\SQLEXPRESS and it worked.
Cheers,
You probably selected master DB. Just switch to the database you want to write in. Go to the available databases on the top left corner in SSMS and choose the right database from the dropdown menu (see the image).
User is not sysadmin. Login to DB with SA credentials and go to Security->Logins and select the user and right click on properties, set as follows
I'm currently working on a reporting tool for a company that conducts the same survey at different clients. So the analysis and report would be the same, except for the conclusions. The ultimate goal of the project would be a tool that automatically extracts, analyses the data and creates the report. SQL Server and Visual Studio are mandatory programs.
I'm completely new to all of this except for the SQL-language. After reading up on this and asking around the usage of stored procedures seemed the best option. If I interpret correct these should be stored in SQL Server and could then be envoked in Visual Studio
However, my problem is, I can't figure out how to connect to the external ODBC-server that holds the data in SQL Server 2005. It seems to me there is no way to connect to a remote server in SQL Server 2005. On the other hand, in Visual Studio 2005 I did manage to connect and extract data from the server.
Is this the right way to achieve my goal (repeatable/automated report)? If so, what am I doing/thinking wrong? If not, please enlighten me.
Thx in advance
Another way to do this is to use bcp...you can check this article to see if there are any answers here for you. There would be no remote server connections if you are able to run the command and the local box that contains the sql server.
You might be able to set up a linked server in SQL Server 2005 to connect to your remote server/database.
Is there a way to step into the stored procedure code in SQL Server Management Studio? I know this is possible with Visual Studio, but I am looking for a dependable debugging solution from within Management Studio
Only with SQL 2008 and SSMS 2008. Select from menu 'Debug\Start Debugging' or press Alt+F5 and will launch the step by step T-SQL debugger.
On 2005 the only way is to attach Profiler and monitor for the SP:StmtCompleted event, which is not exactly debugger step-by-step, but at least you'll see the execution flow. Not to be done on a production machine, obviously.
I have written a pretty detailed blog post about it here:
http://www.diaryofaninja.com/blog/2010/11/23/debugging-sql-queries-function-amp-stored-procedures-with-sql-management-studio
Basically the gist of it is that you enter your sql query to execute your stored procedure, and instead of pressing F5 or hitting the exclamation, you hit the play button and use F10 and F11 to step through and step into your stored procs.
This is very handy but no one seems to use it.
From SSMS 17 onwards version, You can not debug any SQL.
The ability to debug sprocs, which was in Query Analyzer in SQL Server 2000 was not put into SQL Server 2005. Microsoft realized this mistake and put the functionality back in in SQL Server 2008.
In SSMS 2008 you can start the debugger by either clicking the debug button on the toolbar or pressing ALT+F5.
Unfortunately, running SSMS 2008 against a 2005 database will not allow you to debug, so
you'll have to stick with Visual Studio.
Watch out for debugging stored procedures using Visual Studio. The way that this is implemented is to use an incredible amount of locking so that you should never do this on a production system.
Yes, in SSMS 2008 you can definitely step into T-SQL code (code block, stored func, stored proc) and debug it.
See this excellent article Management Studio Improvements in SQL Server 2008 for details - it also deals with debugging (towards the end of the article).
