I have an sql server database, that I pre-loaded with a ton of rows of data. Unfortunately, there is no primary key in the database, and there is now duplicate information in the table. I'm not concerned about there not being a primary key, but i am concerned about there being duplicates in the database... Any thoughts? (Forgive me for being an sql server newb) Well, this is one reason why you should have a primary key on the table. What version of SQL Server? For SQL Server 2005 and above: ;WITH r AS ( SELECT col1, col2, col3, -- whatever columns make a "unique" row rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER

Does SQL Server 2008 Express support Integration Services? When I try to create an Integration Services project, it says that I have to install Integration Services, but I cannot find the option in the setup for the installation.

How can I add SQL Server 2008 Express to the list of Pre-requisites in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 MSI Installer Project. You have to download the SQL Server 2008 Bootstrapper from the MS Download Center (I think it is also included in the VS2008 Express Edition) and copy it into C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages. Each folder under 'Packages' is an entry of the list of Pre-requisites in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 MSI Installer Project.

Do visual studio 2010 include already Sql Server instance, or I need to install Sql Server developer edition to develop an application that need a Sql Server db. If it installs a Sql Server express edition, it this enough or it's better to have Sql Server developer edition? I would second that installing the "full" SQL Server Development Edition makes sense if you do serious database development. However you can have both installed side by side, and having SQL Server Express is very useful for one reason - it supports placing database files in the App_Data folder of ASP.NET applications. While

I'm using SQL Server 2008 Express Edition. I wanna create a sequence with this code: CREATE SEQUENCE Postoffice_seq AS bigint START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 0 NO MAXVALUE; and the error is Msg 343, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Unknown object type 'SEQUENCE' used in a CREATE, DROP, or ALTER statement. Can anyone help me? Best Regards! SQL Server 2008 doesn't know sequences yet - that'll be introduced in SQL Server 2012 (f.k.a. "Denali"). For pretty much the same result, use an INT IDENTITY column instead: CREATE TABLE dbo.YourTable (YourID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, .... ) The

I've come across this page http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062 and I am a bit confused about the different versions here. So I would like to know what is the difference between SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe Scroll down on that page and you'll see: Express with Tools (with LocalDB) Includes the database engine and SQL Server Management Studio Express) This package contains everything needed to install and configure SQL Server as a database server.
