SSMS 2014 Solution Explorer doesn't display project or project items

July 8, 2015, 2:12 pm

≪ Previous: Upgrade Advisor - Method not found

I recently installed SSMS 2014 and SP1 on my Windows 7 Pro x64 system. I used both 2005 and 2012 prior to this installation.

I cannot figure out why Solution Explorer is not working in the new version. In prior versions, I was able to create Solutions/Projects to organize my script files. However, I cannot do the same thing in 2014. I have tried several times to create a new solution and add a script project and even a couple scripts. However, each time I created a solution and added a project, I had to add an additional project before any of it would show in Solution Explorer. After adding a second project to the solution then both projects suddenly were visible in SE. I deleted the extra project and went about adding a connection and a couple query files. These objects were visible in SE for a few sessions but if I closed a query file, the next session would yield an empty Solution Explorer and I cannot do anything about it. With SSMS closed, I opened the project and solution files in a text editor and everything looks okay (I'm no expert on these files).

I went to a Microsoft site today and found a note that indicated that future versions of SSMS will not include Solution Explorer and to avoid using it now. If I cannot easily see my files in Solution Explorer, how does that help customers to find their project files in SSMS?

Anybody else run across this issue?

Hello, after installing SQL 2008 which if say for example during install the default database data file directory was specified as F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data which now want to have it as D:\Data folder via Server Properties in Management Studio (and realize need to restart SQL Service) is it ok to delete the prior F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data folders and not breaking anything since I think SQL Server uses ACL?

Hello, I have a job opportunity and I need to learn SQL. I have been studying on W3.com and using their free learning tools, and I also have taken a tutorial on it. I understand the language as it is obviously very intuitive, but I really want some hands on experience before I attempt this work assessment. I have downloaded the 2008 version of SQL because my laptop is older and when i try to download the newer version it gives me an error saying that it will not work with my OS. I don't have the money to buy Microsoft 8 right now so I am trying it with the 2008 version.

I get an option that says SQL server import and export. I try and use data on my computer to create a table and it shows me none of my files when I browse.

The problem I have is, all the tutorial stuff and the W3.com lessons teach me the language and how to use it, but they start from the point of already having SQL loaded and having databases and tables that can be queried and searched, etc. I need to know how to get information into a table so I can query, actually use the commands, etc.

I am a newb at programming, so any help is hugely appreciated. Thanks!

I'm trying to install SQL Server Management Studio Express 2012 on my Windows 7. I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile, Extended and Multi-targeting Pack on my machine.

I also have had Visual Studio Professional Edition recently installed if that makes any difference.

The install for SSMS is failling on the installation rules screen at:

This computer does not have the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 installed.

If the operating system is Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, enable the .NET Framework 3.5 feature. A computer restart may be required after installing.

Taking a hint from the error message, I went to Turn Features On and Off, but I saw only Windows Communication Foundation HTTP Activation

and

Windows Communication Foundation Non-HTTP Activation

under microsoft NET Framework 3.5.1. So I checked those boxes and restarted. No help.

One possible other guess from this thread:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqldensetup/thread/c06365c5-ce96-4fc8-a12b-6c123c39044c/

is that I may need to "enable the application role (including .NET 3.5) through the OS"?

How would I do that on a Windows 7?

Or if there are other solutions, please let me know.

I am trying to instal SQL Server 2008 Express R2 on my system (Windows 7 Professional SP1) for some time now but it fails to install. I have downloaded the .exe file (SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU) and I run it as admin. It starts extracting files in my external hdd and when the extraction is completed I have to authorise the setup.exe to make changes to my pc. I press yes and then nothing happens. For a single moment i can see a cmd window to popup and then everything goes away. The extracted file is deleted automatically and there is no process in the background that shows that something happens.

I have tried to do that process without my external hdd and the same happens.

Anyone knows what's going on and how can I fix this?

We are running SQL 2012 on a WS2008 R2 host. I'm looking for a process to upgrade the host OS from 2008R2 to 2012 R2. Is it as simple as stopping SQL and upgrading the host?

Are there any "gotcha's"?

Thank you.

upgrade to 2012 and data compare with 2008R2

hi,

We are planning to upgrade to SQL 2012 from 2008r2. While doing so we want to do structure and data compare between 2008R2 database and 2012.

One of our developer suggested to restore 2008R2 database to 2012 twice one with compatibility mode of 2008R2 and other to 2012. I do not think it was a good idea, cause once database is restored to 2012 it is a upgraded database even if i set compatibility mode to 2008r2 level.

My suggestion was to have 2008r2 on its own instance and use linked server or sql redgate like tool to do a compare.

Can anyone suggest few more points related to caveat in this approach, or is it ok to follow this approach? Thank you.
