VIEW returns

  • SELECT o.NAME, o.LANID, o.FILE_TIMESTAMP, n.NAME AS NEW_NAME, n.LANID AS NEW_LANID, n.FILE_TIMESTAMP AS Expr3

    FROM (SELECT NAME, LANID, FILE_TIMESTAMP

    FROM dbo.XML_GSK

    WHERE (FILE_TIMESTAMP < '2008-05-11')) AS o FULL OUTER JOIN

    (SELECT NAME, LANID, FILE_TIMESTAMP

    FROM dbo.XML_GSK AS XML_GSK_1

    WHERE (FILE_TIMESTAMP = '2008-05-11')) AS n ON o.LANID = n.LANID AND o.NAME = n.NAME

    Why when I run this query in Management Studio VIEW it returns

    "Unsupported data type" values for "n" table

    Where is the good old way to design a query - Right Click table/Query?

    VIEW - Is it the only way to construct the query

    in GUI now in 2005?

  • can you post the ddl of XML_GSK ?

  • If I understand what you're asking, you can use Management Studio to create a select statement for a table by right-clicking the table name, then "Script Table as", "SELECT to", "New Query Editor Window"/"Clipboard".

  • Instead right click on the "Views" Folder and select "New View", You'll be provided with a GUI to create the query.

  • But in SQL Server 2000 I didn't have to create any new objects,views.

    I could design a query and close it.

    (Highlight table name, right click, query)

  • Indeed, you'll spend most of the time getting used to the new GUI with SQL2005.

    You can always right click on a table and select "edit" (SP2) then it will show you all data in that table.

    Or select the "script table" as option.

    But once you're used to it, it is lovely because practicaly every action you want to do is scriptable.

    Make sure you are on SP2 ! because of the GUI changes !

  • Guys,

    I'm not talking about scripting what you do.

    I'm talking about designing query in GUI.

    Sometimes it helps to visualize things. Especially if it's a new database

    you are not familiar with.

    So far I see there are two options to design it in GUI.

    1. Create new view

    2. Top toolbar/Query/Design Query in Editor (Ctrl+Shift+Q)

    The second option has limitations. You only design the query

    but you can not test it in the same window. There is no "Results" pane.

    Pretty strange....

  • Are you on RTM, SP1 or SP2 ?

  • I haven't designed a query graphically in so many years that I'm afraid I really can't help you on this one. Sorry.

  • That's it.

    I figured it out.

    The only way to have a GUI environment in 2005 that is similar

    to Enterprise Manager "Open table/Query" feature

    is:

    1. right-click on table

    2. click on "Open Table" (this will start returning all the records from the table...horrible)

    I normally press "Stop retrieving data" icon at the bottom

    3. Right-click anywhere in the results grid

    4. Go to "Pane"

    5. Select Diagram,Criteria,SQL

    If you right click on the diagram pane you can add tables like in Enterprise Manager.

    At this point you're finally back to the convenient Query Designer environment it used to be in SQL 2000.

    In my opinion it's a drawback in query designing capabilities in SQL 2005.

    But have what we have.
