Couldn't open SQL Server database view on my machine - sql-server

I have a problem while running SQL Server 2012 on my machine.
I installed SQL Server 2012 on my machine but just show it
SQL Server Configuration icon
Import and export data icon
SQL Server installation icon
SQL Server Error and usage icon.
There I can't see SQL Server 2012 Management Studio icon, so I wasn't able to view the database and tables in it.
Please guide me to fix it.

Have you install Sql Server Management Studio 2012? You have to install it.
You can download the management tools from the below link
Microsoft SQL Server SP 1
Select only SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe or SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe from the download options.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio errors

I had SQL Server 2005 installed on my system. Then I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 also.
Now when I open SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio I get two messages.
(1) You can import customized user settings from SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. Be aware that some default settings might be changed after you import your customized user settings. Do you want to import your customized user settings from SQL Server 2005 Management Studio
(2)There are SQL Server 2005 Management Studio registered services on this system. Do you want to add them into Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio? Adding The Server registration information has no effect on the servers themselves.
What I should answer to this messages? Yes or No? Please help. I am trying to install Sharepoint Server 2013 Server on my system. But there is an error when I ran Products configuration wizard.
Failed to create sample data. An exception of type
System.Null.Reference Exception was thrown.
Does the error in SQL server Management Studio have anything to do with this error?
1st Sql is warning you that you have prev users that are created in the old sql server 2005 instance.
And asking you if you wish to migrate those users to the new sql 2008 instance.
if you would like to login with the same users that you used to use in the old sql then press yes other wise neglect the dialog and create your new users in the new sql server.

How to run SQL Server 2012 Services

I have Installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate) , and it installed all the SQL files,
yet I can't find the SQL Server Manager in the Start Menu, like the old version, so I can't start the services, , or there is an other way to run the services, so I can connect to the SQL Server?
In Run window, type "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mmc.exe" /32 C:\windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager12.msc. I did come across the same problem (Sql Server Configuration Manager is not in start menu) before, and I had to pin it to task bar.
SQL Sever 2012 service are installed via Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express as VS 2012 does not install it unless you are using custom installer..
Once you install Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Express in your machine you can use SSMS and other tools to manage SQL services on your machine.
Use 'sqlserver.exe' to start SQL Server from the command line - MSDN reference here. Or you can download SQL Server Management studio as shown below - from this link.

Unable connect DNN6 to SQL Server 2012 developer edition

I have SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server 2012 Developer edition installed.
When I want to connect to SQL Server from Visual Studio 2010 I have only option to connect to VISTAUSER-PC/SQLEXPRESS but I know that the name of 2012 Developer edition is VISTAUSER-PC so I just write that name, test connection and its working.
DotNetNuke just gives me option to connect to express edition and when I enter VISTAUSER-PC for the name of the server it cannot connect. I know that DNN works with SQL Server 2012

If your DotNetNuke install is on the same box as IIS/SQL2012/VS2012 then you just select "SQL Server 2005/2008 (Express) File".
You need to make sure other SQL instances, except SQL 2012, are NOT running on your machine when you do this....
DotNetNuke ships with a database.mdf file which is used by default by SQLExpress.
To recap..
Do not edit your SQL connection strings in your web.config
Stop any other SQL instance but SQL2012
Select the radio button beside "SQL Server 2005/2008 (Express) File".
I have noticed that SQL2012 uses a different account to run under so you may need to go in and change to "Network Service" so you can cleanly connect to SQL20102
Good luck...

Database server version is different than the version of SQL Server I have installed

I'm opening up SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio.
When I connect to my database server, it says the version is 9.0.2047. But when I connect to my analysis server and report server, they are both version 10.50.1600.1.
How can I change my database server so that it is running version 10.50.1600.1?
In the SSMS Object Explorer, from the "Connect dropdown > Database Engine..." item, you can choose from all your available database servers.
It seems like you have different versions of SQL Server installed alongside each other.
Uninstall SQL Server 2005, and install SQL Server 2008 R2.
Here's a nice website with versions for you.

Installing SQL Management Studio

I have installed SQL Server with Microsoft Visual Studio and now I need to use SQL Server Management Studio and there is no such application in the Start menu. It just has Import and Export Data and SQL Server Configuration Manager. What do I do next?
when i tried to install the sql server 2008 from the given link by MrKow it gives the following error
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created..
BUTTONS:
OK
so now help what to do next ??
It is a different download and not part of Visual Studio.
It is part of SQL Server and can be found on the install media (CD/DVD) - you can also download the express edition for free, SSMS 2005 here and SSMS 2008 here.
By default, the SQL Server installation does not install the client tools, including SQL Server Management Studio. You can relaunch the SQL Server installation and add the client tools.
You can download the Express edition of SSMS here.
Put the SQL Server CD Rom in the drive and follow the step.
When you see the screen : "Feature selection" under "Shared Features" choose "Management Tools - Basic" and "Management Tools - Complete"
Leave the rest unchecked as you already installed the database.
