MSSQL 2000 Enterprise Manager - Cant open tables!

  • Hi

    When I try to open tables within SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager by clicking the tables icon, then right clicking a table and selecting Open|Return all rows the table does not open. I get timed out and Enterprise Manager shuts down. The database remains intact! Can I fix this without reinstalling SQL 2000?

  • This is probably due to the fact that there is a lot of rows being returned and the query is just timing out.  I have never found this method of returning data very good.  I would suggest you open a query analyzer window and run a select statement on the tables from there.  It's much more reliable and cleaner, plus it will allow you to continue working with EM while your query is running.

  • What SP is installed on the server.

  • alternatively you could run  a query by right clicking on the table ,selecting open table and choosing query.If you are more comfortable with access there comes the point and click query tool

     

     

  • Service Pack 4, I have an identical set up on another server which works fine.

  • Cheers, will give it a go. However, I have an identical set up on another server which works fine.

  • It could be a problem with Enterprise Manager. You could reinstall just the client tools. Use the install disk, select install and when it asks you what to install, choose Client Tools Only. Then you will get a list of applications to install. Uncheck everything but Enterprise Manager (it won't uninstall anything).

  • I will try this, cheers.

  • Thanks for all your help! I have found out that the IT manager had not installed the SQL service pack!! Can anyone tell me how to close this issue?

  • You just closed it. By telling everyone you solved the issue, no one else 'should' respond any more.
