Eric, I tried running SQL Server Mgmt Studio as an Administrator and got enabled the SA login perfectly. But now when I disconnect and try to connect using the SA login, it throws the following exception:

Login failed for user ‘sa’. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452).

Please suggest me with an option to eradicate this issue.

You must be an Administrator on the box to enable the SA user or other SysAdmin users. In addition to that, you probably need to run SQL Server Management Studio as an Administrator. Right click on the SQL Server Management Studio icon and select Run As Administrator. Once you do this and then attempt to enable the SA login, it should work.

I have two databases, say DB1, DB2. DB1 has a view, say vw, and DB2 has a procedure, say proc. All objects in database are associated to dbo schema, and there is only one login ‘sa’.

Problem is through [DB2].[dbo].[Proc], I am trying to refresh [DB1].[dbo].[vw] using following statement:

execute sp_refreshview ‘[DB1].[dbo].[vw]‘

Following exception is raised, which is I am not able to resolve:

Msg 15165, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_refreshsqlmodule_internal, Line 55
Could not find object ‘[DB1].[dbo].[vw]‘ or you do not have permission.

Please let me know how I can resolve this issue or what alteranate I can use.

I cannot see “solution explorer” under the view tab in sql server 2005 management studio express.

the first time I installed SQLEXPR.EXE and connected to database and I couldn’t see “solution explorer” on the view tab. so I uninstalled it.

next Iinstalled SQLEXPR32.EXE and I still didn’t see “solution explorer” under the view tab in 2005 management studio.

can you tell me what to do.

also, I wanted to know if i install sql server 2008 express will I be able to see “solution explorer” tab in 2008 express management studio.

Thank you so much

wayne

@Hoang

This is because may be you have SQL Server Management Studio Express.

You might want to download SQL Server EXPRESS Edition (Free) , with which you will get free client tools.

This client tools will have solution explorer and tools.

Download SQL server Express edition from this link.

Download this file and run this file.
