I have installed several versions of SQL Server on my machine, but visual source safe insists in opening any .sql file using Sql Server 2008 management studio.
I have changed the default application for files .sql to be opened using SQL Server 2014 management studio but now when I right click any of my scripts, either to view of edit, it comes out with the message "Error executing: DDE connection" as you can see on the picture below.
has anyone got any solution or suggesting for this?
Does this help?

Have you tried setting this extention in VSS
Explorer->Tools->Options->Custom Editor?
or
Could you try the following?
Rename
ft000002 and ft000003 (whichever one you have listed under
OpenWithProgids) keys under HKCR
and
HKML->Software->Classes
Rename .sql record from
HKCU->Software->Microsoft->Windows->CurrentVersion->Explorer->FileExt
and from
HKCR
Add just one association for .sql file using Windows explorer.
Check HKCU->Software->Microsoft->Windows->CurrentVersion->Explorer->FileExt->
OpenWithProgids You should not have ft0000xx files in there now.
Check if VSS is working as expected now if not revert the changes.

Visual Studio 2019
Excel 365 64-bit
Excel file has a single worksheet named raw_products
I added a Data Flow Task to my Control Flow
Added Excel Source to the Data Flow
Opened the Excel Source and clicked "New" to create a new connection manager.
Selected my Excel file (Noted that the Excel version changed from 97-2003 to 2007-2010 after I selected the file).
I selected Table or View for Data Access Mode and was greeted with the error:
No Tables or Views could be loaded
Could not retrieve the table information for the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'.
Failed to connect to the source using the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'
I went through and tried every version available and none would connect.
A quick search on SO shows that the fixes are anywhere from reverting to Windows 98 or reinstalling VS to installing 32bit or 64bit Access Database drivers.
The purpose of this task is to import the Excel file into my SQL database. If I use the SQL Import Wizard it works perfectly, and I actually saved it as a SSIS package and imported it into the package I'm working on now.
I've tried all the versions available in the connection manager, and I installed the 64bit Access Database Engine drivers (it won't allow me to install the 32bit since I have 64bit office installed). I tried changing the Run64BitRuntime option in the project properties.
I don't want to reinstall VS2019, it took me 4 hours to get it and the Integration Services installed!
EDIT: Against my better judgement I removed VS2019 and Integration Services. It took me almost 8hrs to get them reinstalled and for everything to work again since MS Visual Studio Tools were not removed or registered correctly.
I have reinstalled everything, rebooted at least a dozen times, and I am still having the same issue where it will not show anything. VERY frustrating since this is the most important part of the SSIS package.
You need to Connection manager:
One for the source (Excel) that you already added
One for the target/destination (SQL)
Do you have the second one with SQL? Can you test it if it is successful?
Once it is successful you will have list of tables and you can choose your target table from the list if it exists.
I am trying to connect Excel to my company's Oracle Database. According to the following instructions it should be fairly easy: https://www.wikihow.com/Connect-Excel-to-an-Oracle-Database.
However it has been impossible and quite frustrating so far.
I have followed two different approaches that I've found online.
FIRST APPROACH: installed ODAC from Oracle's Universal Installer
I went to this site https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/dotnet-odacdev-downloads.html and downloaded the ODAC 12.2.0.1.1 file.
Then, I went through the installation process basically just clicking 'next' on every step.
Note 1: (I don't know if this might be important), in the Database Connection configuration tab I did not fill in any of the information (simply because I didn't know what to put there). It said that if information wasn't filled in, it would not create the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
Note 2: After finishing the installation it says 'run the SQL scripts located in the ... directory after the install'. Which I didn't do, again, because I didn't know how.
After the installation finished a directory was created in the following location: C:\app\client\myUserName\.
The directory goes all the way down to C:\app\client\myUserName\product\12.2.0\client_1, and it contains a bunch of files and folders.
I noticed that no environmental variable was created.
SECOND APPROACH: installed ODBC instant client
I went to this site https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/winx64-64-downloads.html and downloaded both instantclient-basic-windows.x64-19.6.0.0.0dbru.zip and instantclient-odbc-windows.x64-19.6.0.0.0dbru.zip.
Then I created the directory C:\Oracle\instantclient_19_6 and unziped both folders contents into it.
Finally, I ran odbc_install from the command_line, as an administrator, but got Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
Note: in this case I also noticed that no environmental variable was created.
RESULTS:
When I go to Excel and click on Data\From Database\From Oracle Database I keep getting the same error as before: The recommended provider ('Oracle.DataAccess.Client') is not installed. You can continue with your current provider, however it has been deprecated and may not work properly.".
I was able to solve it by installing the 64 bits version of Oracle's client. Its located at https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/112010-win64soft.html, file win64_11gR2_client.zip.
Although the message "The recommended provider ('Oracle.DataAccess.Client') is not installed. You can continue with your current provider, however it has been deprecated and may not work properly." remained, I was able to connect after ignoring it.
I have also tried a bunch of approaches and finally got rid of the 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client is not installed' error.
Install Oracle Client for Microsoft Tools:
ODP.NET, Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (Code), and ODAC
https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/net-downloads.html
Oracle Client for Microsoft Tools installs and configures ODP.NET to support 64-bit Microsoft tool connections with Oracle database. It supports connecting with Power BI Desktop, Power BI service, Excel, SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server Data Tools, SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Reporting Services, and BizTalk Server.
I have installed Oracle Client for Microsoft Tools 19.17 for (Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)) (V1032890-01.exe).
Alternatively, you could follow the learn more link:

I almost wasted my whole day trying to install Windows Azure Storage Emulator but somehow it is not getting installed..
The log is showing me this error : Sql instance not found. I tried re-installing Sql server 2012 but it did not help. It is not able to find Sql instance at all..
Here is the detailed log : http://pastebin.com/KUW4mjuf
I tried googling around but ended up with no solution at all.
:-( I can't go ahead without Azure Storage emulator..
I hope somebody here will help.
There may be an issue with the sqllocaldb user database v11.0 during the install.
You need to recreate it (see below).
As far as I'm concerned, my first install attemp left some files in my c:\users[user] directory :
WAStorageEmulatorDb30.mdf
WAStorageEmulatorDb30_log.ldf
(Your version numbers may differ.) The sqllocaldb logs would mention these files still existed and it would not erase them.
I just deleted them manually.
Recreated the v11.0:
sqllocaldb stop v11.0
sqllocaldb delete v11.0
sqllocaldb create v11.0
And reinstalled.
For those who has new Azure Storage Emulator 4.5 and SQL Server 2016. As MWood mentioned, check c:\users[UserProfile] directory and delete any AzureStorage* databases found.
Then open command window and write same commands, but change database to V13 (the number depends on the SQL server database version installed on your machine).
sqllocaldb stop v13.0
sqllocaldb delete v13.0
sqllocaldb create v13.0
Then install Azure SDK tools again.
I had this problem too. But I solved it with it:
Programs and Features
Selected Visual Studio 2015
Selected "Change -> Modify"
Checked "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tool" and Click "Install"
This didn't work for me. I'm using Parallels on OSX and have an automatic "network profile" with a long path name for my desktop and download folders. Parallels does this automatically
Another solution that worked for me:
Manually download the MSI referenced in the error log
Create a new LOCAL username (not passport/LiveID connected)
Install the MSI from C:\ NOT downloads (where Parallels is backing it as a UNC)
I think it's hitting a 255 char limitation in Windows UNCs'
To keep my laptop responsive during startup, I have changed the sqlserver (express) service startup to manual during its installation. Emulator failed without any error that sql server is not running. On seeing this question, I realized to start the sql server service and then, the installation (emulator 3.2) wen through.
I was able to resolve this problem for myself by running:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\SqlLocalDB.exe" create MSSQLLocalDB
Simple but effective.
I am working with another developer on an applciation. Whenever one of us deletes a file that has been pulled down on the other workstation. TFS doesn't seem to pass down the files as deleted on the next get request.
Short story: I delete file -> Check in -> Team mate does get -> gets build errors due to the files still being on his local disk
Anyone know what we are doing wrong?
We are using local workspaces. We are checking in the delete. Everything we are doing is happening in Visual Studio. Not in a file explorer anywhere.
UPDATE: It has something to do with resharper 8 and TFS not playing well together. When I move a file or safe delete a file with resharper commands TFS doesn't recognize it (the green lock sign is not in solution explorer).
I suggest you to check in your csproj file, he contains all files included in your project, your another developper get latest old csproj, so you find your file
I've tried out the online version of TFS from my MSDN subscription and didn't like it. I decided to use another provider of source control on the web.
Now I keep randomly getting the TFS explorer window popping up on loading solutions and error TF205020 about not being able to connect to TFS. I've gone into Tools, Options and removed the source control options, setting it to "None" (I'm using TortoiseSVN from Windows Explorer for check-ins).
When I create a new project, save it and open it again I get the error and the TFS windows, even after closing them. I've looked at the File menu to see if I can remove from source control but the menu option isn't there - presumably because the new project has not been checked in.
Any way to stop this?
I think you didn't remove your TFS server from VS servers list.
Go to Team->Connect to Team Foundation Server...->Connect->Servers... and remove your server from there.
Go to Tools -> Options -> Source Control
Change Current source control plug-in to None
You can now remove the TFS server.
