I am very new to data warehouse. I just installed Sql server 2008 R2 developer edition, but when I accessed it, there was no analysis server which is for data warehouse. I also downloaded the Adventure Works DW 2008 database sample, but I did not know where to attach it.
Does anyone know about it?
thank in advance.
Sounds to me like you did not install the full management toolset. By default, the SQL installer only loads the basic tools. The management tool for Analysis Server is included in the complete toolset. Use the following steps to verify and/or install the complete toolset.
Navigate to the Control Panel
Click Programs and Features
Locate Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
Click Uninstall/Change
In the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 window, click Add
Step through the SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup Wizard
On the Installation Type page, ensure New installation or add shared features is selected.
Continue through the wizard
On the Setup Role page, ensure SQL Server Feature Installation is selected
On the Feature Selection page, make sure the following Shared Features are checked
Management Tools - Basic
Management Tools - Complete
Finish the installation wizard
I had the same issue, and I confirmed all #Brandon steps without success, until I see that I don't had any analysis instance. So I selected (in Feature Selection) in Instance Features\Analysis Services and finish the installation - it works now!

I am trying to install SQL Server 2014 with Integration Services.
Here is the download link I used to download with tools.
File Name : SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU
But when I proceed to feature selection Integration Services is missing ?
What am i doing wrong ?
Any help would be great.
Update
For future readers, Actually Integration Services is not available on sql azure as said by #Nick.McDermaid , and i was trying to export sql query results to excel. I have to try some other options for sql azure. But Integration Services must be available in other sql server products.
This SSIS runtime is not available in any of the Express editions.
From MSDN:
The only extra services that you get with the Advanced Services are Full Text Search and Reporting Services.
This package contains all the components of SQL Server Express
including the full version of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. This
is a larger download than “with Tools,” as it also includes both Full
Text Search and Reporting Services.
Take a look at this page:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=SQL.110).aspx
Under the heading
Integration Services
You'll see Express with Advanced Services has:
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
Built-in data source connectors
But it doesn't have
SSIS designer and runtime
So the answer is no: express with advanced services does not have the full SSIS version, therefore you won't see it in the install tick boxes. It does have import/export wizard
SQL Server 2016 Development edition is free and comes with SSIS
To transfer data from Azure to a local excel file I can think of three options off the top of my head:
Manually, run a select query in SQL Server Management Studio, then copy paste the grid into Excel. Or you can right click/Save results as CSV
You should be able to use the import/export wizard on your local install of SQL Express to extract data from the Azure instance. I've never tried it though
If you want to automate it you can use SQLCMD to export a CSV file also
The next question is why do you want to export it? If it's for analysis you might be better served running SQL Queries. If it's for a report, again you might be better served with SQL queries or whatever bits of SSRS are installed with SQL Server Express Advanced
To my believe, to get SSIS you need to install SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe package instead. From the linked documentation ... if you check the Details section; this is what it says:
Express with Tools (SQLEXPRWT_Architecture_Language.exe)
This package
contains everything needed to install and configure SQL Server as a
database server including the full version of SQL Server 2014
Management Studio. Choose either LocalDB or Express depending on your
needs above.
Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_Architecture_Language.exe)
This package contains all the components of SQL Server Express including the full version of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. This
is a larger download than “with Tools,” as it also includes both Full
Text Search and Reporting Services.
I have a very fundamental and basic SQL question. Using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, how do I create my first Server? For that matter, how would I create it using any other required software tool?
I took a look at Sql Server Configuration Manager and I saw SQLEPRESS running as a SQL Server. But when I added that in to the start up widow for MSSM Studio Express, as the server name, it threw an error saying it cannot be found or does not exist. It seems that this is not the right kind of server.
To connect to the local instance of SQLEXPRESS, you will need localhost as the server name.
This is a fairly comprehensive guide on how to create a database once you have connected. All the steps won't apply to using SQL Express, but the gist of it is there.
In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database
Engine and then expand that instance.
Right-click Databases, and then
click New Database. In New Database, enter a database name.
To create
the database by accepting all default values, click OK; otherwise,
continue with the following optional steps.
Based on this comment:
Trying .\SQLEXPRESS in SQL Server Management Studio Express throws an error that says that "This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2005 servers". So this is the problem, I think.
.\SQLEXPRESS is the correct server name, but you have the wrong version of client tools (SQL Server Management Studio). To find out the version of SQL you are connecting to, there are a number of suggestions here: https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1140/how-to-tell-what-sql-server-version-you-are-running/
But since you can't connect yet the easiest thing to do is go searching for sqlserver.exe, right click, properties, version. If you have multiple version you need take note of the folder that it's in and check the SQLExpress one. You can also check in services.
Once you've worked out the version, download and install just the management tools for that version.
I installed SQL server 2012 and I have been using it with vs2012. For some reason, now that I have installed vs2013, if I go to "Create New SQL server database...", the option is grayed out.
Just to clarify:
I go to the server explorer tag -> right click data connections. In that list of options the "Create New SQL Server Database..." option is on the list but it is grayed out. Is it necessary for me to link vs2013 to it in some way? I may have done this as part of the original SQL server 2012 installation but I do not want to mess up that setup inadvertently.
Edit: It may (or may not) be worth mentioning that I can actually create Databases for vs2013 projects with vs2012. It is mainly a matter of it being awkward and just incorrect.
An out-of-date of VS2012 SQL Server Data Tools can cause conflict with built in tools for VS2013. Download the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.
I've installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express twice now, and all the services work and I can create databases from Visual Studio 2010, but I don't have the Enterprise Manager (I learned it is now called Management Studio) available in the SQL Server 2008 program menu-- I do have other menu items like configuration manager, etc. but nothing for Management Studio / Enterprise Manager.
Is there a checkbox I've missed during installation?
I ran a search for all exes in the SQL Server root folder and nothing jumped out as belonging to the Enterprise Manager, but I'm not 100% sure what the executable would be named.
Primary question:
What is the procedure required to install the Management Studio client [for/with SQL 2008 Express] ?
Secondary question:
What is the name of this client's executable file ?
SQL Server Express doesn't come with SQL Server Management Studio (what you are really looking for when you say Enterprise Manager). You have to download it separately:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=7593
or with tools already as part of the download
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22973
It's kind of tricky installing Management Studio. This article walks you through it.
Here is an explanation of the situation:
The 2008 version of the Management Studio is not a stand alone installation and can only be installed as part of the SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools or Advanced installation.
Like many others, I spent countless hours trying to figure out how to
install the Management Studio for SQL Server 2008 Express - Advanced
installation (same should apply to the w/ Tools version). What
happened in my case was that I installed Visual Studio 2008 Express
and during that process a stripped down "Instance" of SQL Server 2008
was installed that did not include the Management Studio. Through
much pain and torture I learned that the Management Studio can only be
installed during installation of the first instance. To delete that
first instance, you must go to "Add or Remove Programs" and remove
"Microsoft SQL Server 2008". The removal process will only remove one
instance at a time and if you have installed more than one instance
you need to keep going until all instances have been removed and the
application completely disappears from the Add or Remove Programs"
dialog. Note: You do not need to uninstall any of the other SQL
Server 2008 applications that also appear in the "Add or Remove
Programs" dialog. Then go back through the install process as
follows: Double click on SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe to load the SQL Server
Installation Center and then go to Installation > New SQL Server
stand-alone installation. Then proceed through all of the
installation steps until you get to “Feature Selection” and click on
“Select All” to toggle on all of the Shared Features, which should
include Management Tools - Basic.Continue the process from there and
you should be good to go. Hopefully this will help others to avoid
much of the pain that many of us have already experienced.
The Management Studio exe is named ssms.exe.
The OP is not alone in his puzzlement about the "missing" management client!!! ;-)
The answers by DOK and CD Jorgensen found here were -collectively- among the most helpful I found while searching the web on this particular issue! At the risk of being redundant, I'm adding this answer with the goal of being more explicit and of safeguarding the key screenshots from Andrea Montanari's article referenced in DOK's answer.
Two things to know:
Not all installation packages for SQL Server 2008 Express Edition include the Management Studio.
You either need to ...
a) ... download the Install package for SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools (named something like SQLEXPRWT_cpu_language.exe: note the WT, short for With Tools) or an installer for an Edition of SQL Server other than Express.
or
b) ...download the Installer specific to Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express (same link as provided by CD Jorgensen). This installer only contains the Management Studio; it has none of the SQL Server per se.
[if you go with an a) install package]
The Management Studio (formerly Enterprise Manager) client remains a stand-alone, independent, component. However its installation is now triggered from a selection made as part of the "Install or Modify SQL Server" track.
It is not found in a separate "Install clients and Tools" menu item from the topmost dialog of the installer (as was the case with SQL 2005 and previous versions).
One should stress that it is stand-alone and the client can indeed be installed on hosts where the SQL Server [engine] is not, and will not be, installed at all. However the initial steps in the Installation Wizard give a strong impression that we will effectively install or re-install SQL Server. It is only on a subsequent step labelled Feature Selection that we have the ability to select Management Tools under Shared Features. On that same Feature Selection dialog we have the option of including or excluding, as desired, the installation of the SQL Server Engine and other Server supporting modules.
These are the two key dialogs of the wizard with regards to this issue:
The first one really appears to put you on track to install or mess with the SQL Server itself, the other dialog finally provides the opportunity of opting for the Client Tools (which include, mainly, the Management Studio). This same dialog also allows checking or un-checking the selection to install the Server per se.
Credits and more info:
The screenshots were taken from Andrea Montanari's article on the Insulin Power web site. This article referenced in DOK's answer provides a step-by-step description of the installation based on the "With Tools" installer.
As said in the introduction, I learned much from CD Jorgensen and DOK's answers; I'm merely making a few things more explicit, here, and correcting a few omissions (e.g. there are some installers which carry both the Server and the client, and it is not necessary to install the server).
I applied SQL Server 2005 SP2 and marked all the components to be updated, including Client tools, but the version in the Help -> About box still has version 1399, while the server does indeed had 3042.
I then re-applied SP2 to only Client tools, and everything ran successfully (again, first time did too) but still, no version update for management studio.
Now, I just applied SP3 with everything successfully, but still management studio version did not get updated.
How can I update it? Or at least how can I uninstall just Management studio so I can install it from a newer DVD?
Thanks.
If you go to Control Panel > Add Remove programs and then choose the appropriate SQL Server installation, this will start the typical install wizard for SQL Server.
You can then select the specific components that you wish to uninstall.
If you are having difficulties with SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 may I suggest that you visit the SQL Server Central forums as there are a wealth of resources for SQL Server SP3. It was actually due to user demand from this forum that resulted in there even being an SP3 release.

Let me know how you get on.
Cheers, John
I got the Error in sql server sp3 installation log which caused this:
Error Number : 29538
Error Description : MSP Error: 29538 SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to rename a file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\mssqlsystemresource1.ldf. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
Hate to answer my own question, but I had to manually un-install Client Tools, re-install them using SQL Server 2005 setup, and THEN apply the updates.
It wasn't working by just trying to apply updates over the existing original installation.
And i mention un-installing using the SQL Server 2005 Setup because trying to do it from the Add/Remove Programs dialog won't let you or will give you trouble.
