I am working on a SSDT project and I would like to use intellisense and snippet support of RedGate Sql Prompt, but I am unable to get that working. All I get from SqlPrompt is the name of the database and my snippets, nothing about the tables.
What I've tried so far without getting it to work:
disabled VS's built in intellisense for sql
added connection in sql server object explorer and server explorer
I am using VS2017 and SQL RedGate 8.0.
Apparently it doesn't support table/column/parameter expansion.

I want to run an ASP.NET project on VS 19 but whenever I open it, it shows an error dialog box that “this project requires SQL Server 2012 which is not installed on this computer” - but SQL Server 2012 is installed with all services running.
And database cannot be created showing an error
A network related or instance specific error
I guess Visual Studio 19 is somehow not recognising SQL Server 2012 services and I can't figure out how to fix it.
Also tried to disable firewall and enable all TCP/UDP Connections but of no use, kindly help as it's very frustrating.
I'm sorry for using sloppy naming schemes as i'm new to Stack Overflow.
Installing SQL Express LocalDB helped me solve the problem, i thought i had it installed from the SQL Express tools available Microsoft SQL Download, but the SQL Express LocalDB was missing. It sounds stupid, but it is what it is, hope it helps anyone else.
My SQL Server Object Explorer is not showing any databases:
I also get an error A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. .... When I run the website, the error being shown is The system cannot find the file specified. Furthermore, SQL Server is missing from Services:
(It was installed together with Visual Studio and was never used separately)
Yesterday, everything worked like charm; I had multiple databases with tables and was able to access the data. Today, the same project can't even start, no db's either. What's wrong with Visual Studio here? Thanks
I've had the same problem before. Took me a while to figure it out. What you need to do is go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299
In my case, i'm using SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. You must find the one that suits the version of SQL studio that you're using (2008, 2012, 2014).
Click the big download button and now, it is very important that you choose the proper version. Check:
Express 32BIT\SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe if you're running on a 32-bit PC, or
Express 64BIT\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe if you're running on a 64-bit PC
It is very important that you install Express version.
Next, once you install that, you should be able to see the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) in your services.msc, along with few other SQL services installed.
Open Visual Studio 2015 and in SQL Server Object Explorer window right click on SQL Server and choose Add SQL Server... option. It should prompt you to connet to the server from SQL Server Management Studio.
If you kept everything by default during the installation, just type . (dot) for the Server name and click connect. Now it should load the database.
It turns out that Visual Studio does not come with MS SQL Server in the default installation. It is necessary to install SQL Server Data Tools from the MS website manually. VS custom installation also allows to do that, but you will need an installer. Just make sure to select SSDT in the custom installation components menu. Additionally, I also ran an update from VS itself that allowed me to install SQL Server 2008, 14, and 16. I am finally able to access DB in VS!
I have been learning ASP.NET and building a little customer portal. I used the built in CreateUserWizard. I wanted to look inside the ASPNETDB.MDF file to see how it was storing the users and maybe add some rows of my own. I opened the file in SQL Server Management Studio and viewed the file. I closed it with out saving.
Now when I try to run the program I get this new error:
The database 'C:\PROJECTS\PORTAL\PORTAL\APP_DATA\ASPNETDB.MDF' cannot be opened because it is version 706. This server supports version 662 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported.
So I assume opening the project in SQL Server it upgraded the version to 706, How can I either delete this database and create a new one or change the version of the database to an support version.
Thanks
The following blog entry will help you
http://conceptdev.blogspot.com/2009/04/mdf-cannot-be-opened-because-it-is.html
As soon as you attached it to SQL Server 2012, the database was upgraded to version 706. As the error message suggests, there is no way to downgrade the file back to version 662 (SQL Server 2008 R2).
You can run the script found in your Visual Studio folder -
[drive:]\%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\asp_regsql.
It'll display a UI for you to select the server to install a new copy on. Here's a MSDN article about it.
i wrote a website with asp.net 4 and sql server 2008. But my host sql version is 2005 so i get script from my database in sqlserver 2008 and convert it to 2005. Then i import .sql file that is exported from 2008 iin sqlserver 2005 and retrieve it. Then i make a back up with sqlserver 2005 and upload it on my host. Now i have one problem:
I used aspnet_regsql.exe to create the database schema.
But when i want to login to my website it throws following error:
The 'System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider' requires a database
schema compatible with schema version '1'. However, the current
database schema is not compatible with this version. You may need to
either install a compatible schema with aspnet_regsql.exe (available
in the framework installation directory), or upgrade the provider to a
newer version.
What is the problem?
Which version of ASP.NET is your published website using? It looks like it might be different than what you're using in development.
The version info is configured on a per-AppPool basis in IIS.
I am following the learning ASP.NET 3.5 by O'REILLY to write some ASP.NET 3.5 code using Visual Studio 2008 SP1. I have gotten to the point to where I need to Configure a Data Source using the SqlDataSource control. I chose Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient) even though I have SQL Server Express 2005 - This seems like the only logical choice.
I get to the Add Connection window and successfully add a Server name and I use the Select or enter a database name of AdventureWorks. When I click on Test Connection I get the Test Connection Succeeded message box.
Unfortunately, when I click OK I get an error message of the following:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKey Token=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependecies. The system cannot find
the file specified.
At his point I am at a loss and everywhere I look and find something similar to my issue it involves other versions of either Visual Studio or SQL Server.
I'd really appreciate any help on this!
You may investigate this recipe.
You may need to reinstall your copy of SQL 2005 Express. But sure to install all of the client-side developer packages in the installer.
I had the exact same issue.
Following the suggestions in this thread , I went to the "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack, August 2008 " - and downloaded (and installed) the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components ". This did not help.
Then I also downloaded and installed the following components: SharedManagementObjects.msi, sqlncli.msi, SQLSysClrTypes.msi.
And now it works for me.
I'm using SQL Server 2008 Express and Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition.
