I'm running different queries in SSMS it shows "command completed successfully" but when I refresh the database, can't see the updates in databse.
Though you can see in image that I have created two database as students and students1. I have deleted the database students1 and it shows that the command completed successfully but still students1 is present in object explorer.
I'm a noob trying to learn sql but theses kind of glitchs are making the experience worst for me. Can you please help me?enter image description here
right click on the "Databases" and press "Refresh". If you want to refresh list in the IntelliSense then in the query window press Crtrl+Shift+R
I'm in a standard SQL Server Integration Services Package. I have created a connection to my local db instance. I drop a data flow task and then using a OLE DB source and Destination, I start creating my expected simple data flow.
Problem: I create a new table to dump my data from the source in SSMS and go back to visual studio's and look for it in the OLE DB Destination -- Name of the Table or the view drop down menu option and it's not there.
How do I refresh the cache without needing to close the ENTIRE program and reopen it?
I've asked some colleagues and they say they just close the entire program and reopen. So, at my work, I'm not the only person having this problem.
What doesn't seem to work:
Tried to change connections in the drop down
Tried to delete the destination connection and recreate
Close the package and reopen
Close the solution and reopen
CTRL+SHIFT+R
What has worked:
Close the entire program, visual studios, and reopen
This hints to me that it's somehow cached in visual studios.
Is there a easier way? I feel like there has to be... this is just silly that I have to close the entire program each time I add a table ... I reject this reality and wish to create my own!
First of all check that you are not working in offline mode.
If you are not working offline, just try to change the selected connection manager from the drop down list and re-select the initial one, or just change the data access mode and re-select the initial one. I think this may force refreshing the tables in the list.
I have a database that has essentially been unlocked: I've removed the database password and VBA query password, but for some reason there is no content in the database... but the structure and fields are still in place.
I've discovered that the application its working with has been placing all of the actual data in windows virtual store in the app data folder. Based on testing, I'm 100% confident that the data is in this database.
Is there something that I'm missing - maybe another password lock I've forgotten - that would cause this strange behavior?
All of the tables were hidden.
To fix it in microsoft access 2007:
I clicked the microsoft button while the db was open, and then went to Access Options -> Current Database -> and checked "Display Navigation Pane". After that, i went to Navigation options under the current database menu and checked "show hidden objects" and "show system objects".
Fixed the problem!
I have a database in a local file that is used by a program. The program has limited functionality and I needed to run some quick queries. I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 (SSMSE), connected to the SQL Server instance, attached the database file, and ran the queries. Now the original program will no longer connect to the database. I receive the error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'MyComputer\MyUserName'.
I've gone back into SSMSE and tried to set the default database. I've opened up Security, Logins, BUILTIN\Administrators and BUILTIN\Users. Under General, I have set the default database to the program's database. Under User Mappings, I made sure the database is ticked and that db_datareader and db_datawriter are ticked.
The program uses the connection string:
Server=(local)\Instance; AttachDbFilename=C:\PathToDatabase\Database.mdf; Integrated Security=True; User Instance=True;
I know jack-all about database administration. What else am I missing?
This may not be answering your question specifically, but it may help others with similar issue caused by different problem
In my case the problem was my user is defaulted to a database which is not accessible for any reason (can be renamed, removed, corrupted or ...)
To solve the issue just follow the following instruction
Try to login again on the login page there is other tabs select
"Connection Properties".
under the tab locate "Connect to database" and select an existing database you have access to like tempdb or master
Once you are connected to the SQL Server Instance execute the below TSQL to assign the login a new default database.
Use master
GO
ALTER LOGIN [yourloginname] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = TempDB
GO
Alternatively once you connected change your default database name to master via UI

This problem manifested for me when I took my default db offline. Next thing I know I couldn't login. Switching to the Connection Properties tab and selecting the drop down to change the database I want to connect to also failed.
It let me in right away once I manually typed master as the db I wanted to connect to (on the Connection Properties tab).
First, try to isolate your problem:
Take a backup of the file! Some of the steps below can, apparently, in some circumstances cause the file to vanish.
Are you sure you are connecting to the same instance through Management Studio as the program is?
If possible, try to shut down the instance that you are not expecting to use.
Set the user's default database to master and try to make the program logon.
Try to login as the user through Management Studio - since you have integrated security, you should open Management Studio as the program's user.
Are you using "User instances" - perhaps without knowing it? If so, this may be helpful: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2006/11/22/connecting-to-sql-express-user-instances-in-management-studio.aspx
I haven't worked much with files being attached in the way your program does - but you write that you attached the DB in the Management Studio as well. Have you tried detaching it there before running your program? Perhaps you are seeing the Management Studio and your program competing for exclusive access to the MDF-file?
EDIT: I added point 6 above - this is new in my own list of TODOs when troubleshooting this type of Login failed. But it does sound a lot like what you're experiencing.
EDIT2: In the first edit, new item was added to the list. So the numbers in the comments doesn't correspond with the numbers in the answer.
I finally figured this out, and my situation is different than every other I've read about tonight.
I had restored my database from a backup. I knew that there was a particular login user that I had been using, so I created that user in SSMS. However, there was already a user by that name under the database that had come in with the backup.
Since I had screwed around so much trying to fix this, I wasn't able to delete the user under the DB easily. I deleted the database and restored again. Then:
Delete the user under the Databases->[my database]->Users
Create the user again in Security->Logins (not under your DB, although that probably works too.
Go to the newly created user. Select properties. Then under User Mappings, tell it to make your database the default. Give it read and write access.
Summary: I had two users. One that came with the DB, and one that I had created. Remove the one that came with the DB and create your own.
First click on Option>> Button of “Connect to Server” Prompt.
Now change the connect to database to any existing database on your server like master or msdb.

I've also had this same problem, it turned out that I was trying to access the built in membership classes (in a view), and that .Net was trying to create the database in the App_Data folder:
#Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey
This will trigger the system to try and create a database based in the built in membership system, which may not be the way your system is setup.
I had a similar problem had to simply download SQL Express Utility that is capable of starting User Instances. SSEUtil is a tool written by the Visual Studio team to help troubleshoot User Instance issues, you can read more about it in the read me file that is installed with the utility.

Hope this will help.
In my case I had to set "connect to any database" right path:
On your instance, go to Security , then to Logins.
Right Click on there, you will see properties and you should click on Securables.
There it give possibility to connect to any database.
Today i tried changing a users role from db owner to db data reader and db data writer. This user uses an Access ADP file, to edit, add and delete records from a few tables in the SQL Server database. However, after doing so he got an OLE error from access on trying to open the ADP. Are there certain security priveleges required by the Access application its self?
Access has a built-in macro language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA.) The OLE error might originate from that.
Try to open the Access application while pressing the SHIFT key. This should get you into the main Access screen. Press ALT-F11 to open the Visual Basic editor. Now, if you open the applications main form, the debugger should pop up if there's an OLE error coming from VBA. By examining the code that generates the error, it's probably easy to see which permissions are missing.
