Re: Why Can't SSMS Script Data???

SSMS in SQL Server 2008 supports scripting data. For SQL Server 2005 you can use the Database Publishing wizard:

Where can I find the sql server error log? What would be most convienient is
a transaction log of all sql statements made that i can select against and
find a drop database or something similar.

Why Can't SSMS Script Data???

I just can't believe this. Please tell me I'm missing something obvious.
I need to copy a local database to a GoDaddy hosting account (yeah, yeah, I
know). GoDaddy only supports restoring BAK files that were generated from
the GoDaddy site, so I can't back it up on my computer and then restore to

Thanks for the link. I had been looking for a document similar to
that but for some reason couldn't find it.
Since I had to touch all of the client boxes anyway, I ended up
dropping a hosts file with the pointer instead of putting it on the
DNS server. For some reason it felt more absolute that way. I'll

Are you logically separating the statements with ;'s and placing GO at the
end of logical blocks?
Beyond that, you would have to build everything into a procedure and add
error checking (see @@ERROR, TRY & CATCH).

"Unix" is a very broad moniker that could apply to just about anything, but
if (as I'm thinking) you mean that file systems mostly used by Unix
operating systems tend to be case- and accent-sensitive, then yes.

I think the KB article is applicable only to client applications that don't
consume all of the results generated by the script. SSMS should consume
all of the results of the script.
As I posted in your "Transactional Processing" thread, you might running

I see you started a new thread in this group ("SQL Server Output Buffer").
Please don't start independent discussions on the same topic as that causes
duplicate effort for all involved. If you feel a new thread is warranted,
at least reference the initial post when you start the new thread so that

Hi
I think what you are doing should work, and rather than remove the pointer
for the oldname then it could be left as a safety net.
You need to watch out for anything that references the server by IP.
If you go through the route of renaming a server after you have installed
SQL Server then you need to check for this problem

OK, I got it. Thanks.
It also clears something up that has bugged me for a while: Unix clearly
uses a binary collation.
Thanks,

There is too little information to say what is wrong, but whatever, the
output buffer has nothing to do with it.
I can think of two explanations to your problem:
1) There are flaws in the script, for instance comments, that prevents
the statement to be run.
2) Your diagnosis that the statements did not run is in correct.

They wouldn't be named after the database as they cover the entire instance.
But if this is 2005 there should be 5 files with a .trc extension in the LOG
folder under that instance.

I doubt partitioning (table or view) is the right solution to address query
and index tuning. As Russ and Kalen mentioned, the optimizer ought to be
able to generate a decent plan in most cases as long as appropriate indexes
are available and stats are up-to-date. I seldom need to resort to index
