Post Unable to get list of tables Reply with quote
I recently upgraded my laptop and I am using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Ver 9.00.3042.00 and SQL Assistant 2.5.9. In this version when I type a SQL statement SQL Assistant does not show me the list of tables / views etc in the database that i an connected to. On my old laptop it did. Not sure if i missed a configuration step or it is a bug with the new version combination. Please see attached screen shot.

Then it must be a different logon issue. When you start typing SQL queries, do you get a Connect prompt from SQL Assistant? or does it silently intercepts the existing connection and the assistant popups start appearing automatically without any connection prompts?

If you get Connect prompt, do you enter the same authentication type Windows or SQL?

No a connect prompt is not displayed by SQL Assistant, it seems to silently intercept the existing connection and the assistant pop-ups start apprearing automatically without any prompts.

Interesting...
You didn't customize SQL Assistant options by any chance? Especially DB Queries options?
Also please verify that you logon is still mapped to dbo database user id. This is perhaps is the root cause of the problem.

No i didnot customize the SQL Assistant options. How do i check that my logon is mapped to the dbo database user id? I tried logging into management studio with SQL Authentication and using the SA user id and the same problem occurs.

Manually run the "Objects" query from SQL Assistant options (see DB Queries options group) and check what you get in the output. This can help you figure out why object names are not returned for the popup.

When i run the following query manually in the DB that i am logged into i do get a list of all the objects - tables, stored procs etc..

select
name, xtype, id
from
/*db.*/dbo.sysobjects
where
xtype in ('U','S','V','P','X','RF','FN','TF','IF')
and uid = 1
and not (name = 'dtproperties')
and not (name like 'dt%' and xtype = 'P')

That's good. Now please comment out in the SQL Assistant's DB Query options in the Objects query for MSSQL the line that starts with "and uid = "

Save options and restart the editor. What do you get after the change?

This indicates that your default schema doesn't map to dbo. Not sure why, the connection is shared. I will dig it further and let you know what's wrong with it.

When i try to use the SQL Assistant to write an Exec statement it gives me an error. Also when I use it to write a select statement it does not show me the column names after i select a table from the pop-up, only shows me the table names in the pop up.

I uninstalled SQL Assistant version 2.5.9 and installed 2.5.11 and everything seems to work now.
