• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express - Upgrading will Lose Data?

  Hi - quick question. I wanted to upgrade pre-release version of SQL Express to the latest version, and wanted to make sure that none of the database information would be lost. The thing that concerns me is that it states to uninstall previous versions of SQL Server 2005 Express before installing the latest version. I threw the database tables into a backup directory, and I think this should be fine, but I want to be sure. Let me know. Thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server Generating scripts in SQL 2005

  In SQL 2000 EM you were able to generate a script that only contained GRANT statements, (by unchecking the CREATE & DROP commands on the 2nd tab, and selecting Object Permissions on the 3rd tab).  From what I can see in SQL 2005 MS you can't do this. All that you can seem to do is generate a sciprt containing all the CREATE statements with the GRANT statement(s) after each object. This is a bit of a pain as I want to script al ...Show All

• Visual C# Storing program settings

  I'm needing to allow a user to be able to set/change various options for a program I'm developing. It seems that the best way to do it would be to keep the congifuration information in an XML file. Is there a place where I can find concepts and code that will allow me to be able to read an XML file and properly parse the contents Of course, I'll also need to understand how to write the file in the first place. As always, I'm looking not just f ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem adding Annotations to KPIs

  I'm trying to add an annotation to a Kpi object in AMO. I'm starting with just the simplest thing: kpi.Annotations.Add("AnnoName", "AnnoValue"); The KPI validates, and cube.Update doesn't report any errors. But when I try to read back the KPI later, the annotations collection is empty. I profiled the XML/A sent as part of the Update, and the KPI definition included the annotation there. But the annotation never seems to be sa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Specifying non-attribute data to a Task

  I understand how to write tasks for "simple" definitions (i.e. all necessary data encoded in node attributes), but I've done a fair amount of research and testing and I can't figure out how to write a "complex" task.
