Hidden max number of columns in Management Studio?

Hi,
The following is observed in the SQLServer 2005 Management Studio Visual
Editor:
Open table (Right Click option on a table) fails when I try it on a table
with lots of columns in it > 820 columns! Currently the table has no rows
(empty table). The same table opens fine with sql 2000 enterprise manager.
This table has been migrated/imported from sql 2000 without any errors! Other
imported tables with less number of columns can be opened in the visual
editor!
Wondering is there a hidden limit in terms of number of columns with
SQLserver 2005 Management Studio (Grid) Visual Editor?
I get SQL Executaion error
Error Source: Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataTools
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation
Is this a known behavior/limitation/bug? Is there a workaround?
Thanks

Hi

Hi
Can anybody tell me what are the possible causes when a client update request to a server fails..
Some of the ones i suppose r
1 Master server down
2 Link Failure
3 Update Request query syntax invalid
Any more.............Login does not exist - permissions issue, database offline/suspect/corruption, locking issues...|||I read your other post about replication concerns - do you have problems now ?|||Hi

thnx a lot sir for responding to my second query...as far as the first is concened i am still facing the same problems...

I understand the concept of master n slave relationship but have certain queries regarding this...

1) In case the master is down i do i configure my sysem so that a present active slave becomes the master or any other way to tackle this situation.How does the clients know about this new server being set as the master .

2)The master is run as a myslq demon . Now the slaves though being servers ..are run as clients of the master server with a definate usernme who has been granted REPLICATION SLAVE PERMISSion set at the master server??

i.e do i run the slaves as mysql -h xxx -u xxxx -p ?? --mysql client ?

3)Is it necessary t take a snapshot of the datadir at the serer , for the first time i set up replication ?/?


Kindly help me out
Thnx

HELP: Connecting to a secure file share using DTS

I have a dts package that works in connecting to a secure file share when I run it manually. When I schedule it to run on its own - it fails due to the lack of a log on. Is there something I can do to initiate the log in via the schedule rather than me manually doing it ?

Thank you!

When you run it manually, it's executing under your security context. When you schedule it, it will run under the security context of SQL Server Agent service account if the job is owned by a sysadmin. You need to grant the SQL Agent service account permissions to the share. The following article explains this issue:
