    Moving a DB.

    As to the saving of stored procedures issue, they would not save b/c they are "Alters", not "Creates." They were being "re-introduced" to the DB. DUH! I still am very curious about where my DB files are saved. Sorry and thanks, Bill

    Moving a DB.

    I dragged and dropped everything (obviously not everything) that I saw that was related to SQL. Where specifically is a user created DB stored? Also, how/where do I store my stored procedures that I create. F5 runs them, but when I go to save the sproc, I get directed to "MyDocuments\SQL...

    Moving a DB.

    I copied my Payroll DB project to a flash drive. I believe the Payroll.mdf file should be in: “F:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data”, but there is nothing after \Data. I did a search on the F: drive for *.mdf and found the Northwind, Pubs, master, msdbdata and many other files, but no...

    Reinstall problems. Finding server.

    John, I got it to work. After doing some searching and reading of posts on different sites, I found that: 1)I needed to remove the current Native Client program. 2)D/L and run the file ‘sqlncli.msi' from MS. It saved itself to the correct directory. 3)Re-run the SQL Express setup. I lost all...

    Reinstall problems. Finding server.

    John, Thanks for the reply. I came to the conclusion that I did not actually have the program installed. I do have SSManagement installed, but not the SQL Server itself. After installing, reinstalling and maxing out with frustration, I am at a loss. I have gone through the whole process five...

    Reinstall problems. Finding server.

    Over the weekend my PC died and I had to reinstall everything. When re-installing SQL Server 2005 Express and Management Studio, I have encountered some problems. I do not recall having any major issues when I installed it over a year ago. I did save a lot of my work on a flash drive. Hopefully...

    TRY/CATCH. What if record does not exist?

    GM, I think I was confusing a SQL error with my @Message error of "Batch Number Does Not Exist." SQL won't throw an error if there is no batch number. Correct? Thanks. Bill

    TRY/CATCH. What if record does not exist?

    I’m trying to use the TRY/CATCH method when deleteing a record. If the record exists, it works. But if the record does not exist? The following doesn’t tell me that the record does not exist and I do not receive any error message. Please note the attempt with the IF/ELSE. BEGIN TRY BEGIN...

    No error if target record does not exists.

    Everything I’ve seen so far re: errors, has to do with inserting data, not deleting. With a valid code (A), I get my @Message ‘Record Deleted.’ which makes sense given where the @Message is located. Even though no record will be actually deleted due to a constraint issue. But it does not give...

    No error if target record does not exists.

    I have created the following delete sproc. If the target record exists, it is deleted. But I am not getting any error msg if the target record does not exist. Use ClientPayroll GO set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER procedure [dbo].[Clients_Delete_ClientWorkStatusInfo]...

    Saved sprocs not going where I need them.

    So when I press F5, the sproc is saved in my Payroll DB and I do not need to use File/Save which saves it to the Projects folder? I've been doing way too much clicking and saving! Thanks.

    Saved sprocs not going where I need them.

    After making changes to sprocs in my DB “Payroll” and then saving them, I am directed to: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\SQL Server Management Studio Express\Projects where the sproc and the changes are saved. But when I go back into the sproc in the Payroll DB, the...

    Use of EXISTS when data required?

    Boris, thanks for the help. I don’t believe I explained the situation well enough. Let me give a “real life” example. I have the following tables; tblClients: contains Dennis and Bob. tblJobSteps: contains many non-time studied jobs and one time studied job (199-9381-21). All job step...
