I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express. I am having trouble understanding
how to connect up with the AdventureWorksDB. Looking at the online book, I
found these instructions:
1) Open the command prompt on the server.
2) From the command prompt, connect to an instance of SQL Server by using
the following sqlcmd command:
sqlcmd -S Server\Instance
Where Server is the name of the computer and Instance is the name of the
instance.
These instructions assume you have some previous knowledge.
1) I am assuming that you are in the SQL Server Management Express Console.
2) How do you open the command prompt? Or where is it?
3) The "sqlcmd -S Server\Instance" instruction. I looked at the SQL Server
Service Manager and I believe I have the right information for my
installation: Server = NGT\SQLEXPRESS and Instance = SQL Server which came
from the Services:.
If this is not correct, what name do I use for the Server and Instance?
After I run this command, what will the results be and how will I know they
have run correctly?
I believe I can follow the remaining instructions if I can get past this part.
Thank you for your help.

You get a command prompt by going to Start->Run and typing CMD. From that,
you run SQLCMD. From what you have given us, try:
SQLCMD -S NGT\SQLEXPRESS

New SQL Book Scam or Not?
Has anyone heard of this book? I got this e-mail and the book looks good, but I'm afraid it's a scam because I can't find the book online anywhere else. I also can't locate this Beyond Books, Inc. See Email below:
FROM: "Microsoft Professional Learning Series" <msdev_book-offers@.in-the-trenches.com>"
Dear Microsoft Professional,
We would like to inform you that the book that you've been looking & waiting for is finally here!
This hot new book has the industry buzzing about its hardhitting & revealing content. It drives deep into issues no other industry guru or MVP has properly addressed and follows through with powerful solutions to them. Learn advanced & secret techniques u
sed by the pros "in the trenches" and get complete solutions & code that can literally save you thousands of hours of research, design, development, coding, and testing (not to mention all the frustration, headaches, hair pulling, forehead smacking, & oth
er pains from the process).
If you are a SQL Server developer, a .NET developer, or a Development Team Lead, an I.T. Manager or Project Manager for a software product built on .NET & SQL Server, you owe it to yourself to buy & read this book. The information that you’ll get will b
e priceless. Forget all those lame "bibles" out there. This book will be the prize of your library, the key book that will guide you in your decisions & provide you with hardhitting information.
From the author:
This new book truly reveals advanced & secret techniques of SQL Server & .NET professionals and provides complete & customizable solutions to real world problems. Face it, you don’t want to buy another developer’s book that turns out to be just anothe
r big reference manual. You also don’t want to go to yet another mindless or boring developer’s conference or seminar where you’ll end up wondering if you’ll ever use any of the stuff you’ve just “learned”. And those online discussion boards
can only help so much by pointing you in a certain direction, but fall short in providing you with a complete solution or the big picture. Believe me, as a professional developer, I’ve done all those things, and I know that you’ll find this book is t
he only learning resource available that GOES THE DISTANCE when it comes to discussing, solving, & providing these solutions. This book has over 600 pages of golden information, complete solutions, and valuable code you will not find anywhere else. You wi
ll even find sections that cover SQL Server or .NET issues or topics that have never been addressed or shared in any other developer resources or public media. You won’t find these techniques in any other book, developer seminar, or online resource anyw
here.

|||You should look at the website, especially the description of the chapters
included in the book. Chapters include "Soft Skills" and a chapter on how
to get good performance reviews (e.g. the kind that gets you pay raises)...!
Since when is that a specific SQL or .Net skill? There's also a chapter on
Tools, which according to the website is just a list of software, the
website you can get it from, and a brief description...
All of that for the low, low (discounted!) cost of $130... And as it's a
600-page book, you know that the rest must be thoroughly jam-packed in order
to have all of the secrets for BOTH SQL Server *and* .Net, two topics which
I happen to have probably 15,000+ pages of books on, with not a whole lot of
overlap... So this person ("The Saint", according to the website) is either
the tersest writer in history or the font is 0.5-point and the book comes
with a special magnifying glass.
Definitely worth a chuckle, but you gotta respect someone who has the gall
to sell such obvious trash for such a high price...

Dear Microsoft Professional,
We would like to inform you that the book that you've been looking & waiting for is finally here!
This hot new book has the industry buzzing about its hardhitting & revealing content. It drives deep into issues no other industry guru or MVP has properly addressed and follows through with powerful solutions to them. Learn advanced & secret techniques u
sed by the pros "in the trenches" and get complete solutions & code that can literally save you thousands of hours of research, design, development, coding, and testing (not to mention all the frustration, headaches, hair pulling, forehead smacking, & oth
er pains from the process).
If you are a SQL Server developer, a .NET developer, or a Development Team Lead, an I.T. Manager or Project Manager for a software product built on .NET & SQL Server, you owe it to yourself to buy & read this book. The information that you’ll get will b
e priceless. Forget all those lame "bibles" out there. This book will be the prize of your library, the key book that will guide you in your decisions & provide you with hardhitting information.
From the author:
This new book truly reveals advanced & secret techniques of SQL Server & .NET professionals and provides complete & customizable solutions to real world problems. Face it, you don’t want to buy another developer’s book that turns out to be just anothe
r big reference manual. You also don’t want to go to yet another mindless or boring developer’s conference or seminar where you’ll end up wondering if you’ll ever use any of the stuff you’ve just “learned”. And those online discussion boards
can only help so much by pointing you in a certain direction, but fall short in providing you with a complete solution or the big picture. Believe me, as a professional developer, I’ve done all those things, and I know that you’ll find this book is t
he only learning resource available that GOES THE DISTANCE when it comes to discussing, solving, & providing these solutions. This book has over 600 pages of golden information, complete solutions, and valuable code you will not find anywhere else. You wi
ll even find sections that cover SQL Server or .NET issues or topics that have never been addressed or shared in any other developer resources or public media. You won’t find these techniques in any other book, developer seminar, or online resource anyw
here.

new Reporting Services
I just read an article online about SQL Server Reporting Services. Any
sense of whether this functionality can be embeded in an ASP.NET web
application? The article made it sound like you'd have to go to a separate
web page in order to view the reports ...
http://www.sqlmag.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=40529
Thanks in advance.
MarkYes you can. Have a look at the developer samples (if you are on B2). They
include a ReportViewer Sample ASP.NET Server Control for integrating
Reporting Services reports in a Web application. RS is basically a web
service so you can do pretty much what you want with it. Flexibility and
extensibility are key features
