Enterprise Mgr Snap-In Issue

I have been running SQL Server 2000, client tools only.
i installed SQL Server Express (and associated .NET
framework upgrade) to take a look.
I then uninstalled sql server express and went back to
version 1.1 of .NET framework.
My query analyzer works fine, however when i try to load
Enterprise Manager, it says:
Snap-in failed to initialize.
Name: Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manager
CLSID:{00100100-1816-11D0-8EF5-00AA0062C58F}
I have looked through the knowledge base articles and
have not found one specific to my situation.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled sql server 2000 (and
therefore, MDAC as well) and I am running into the same
issues.
Any help is appreciated.
Did you try regsvr32 c:\...\...\sqldmo.dll

Did you find the actual sqldmo.dll file that corresponds to the SQL Server
2000 install? Or did you run exactly what I posted? Did you get a dialog
that told you the registration was successful?

|||Yes - the file came from the sql 2000 install and
received a message that is was successful.

Enterprise DB w/out keys

Hi all-

I have recently come across a DB Schema without about 300 tables, none of which have any keys associated with them. What I did notice however is the schema has 3000 or so SProcs which is handling most of the validations.

Does anyone know of any advantages/disadvantages to this approach? I have always been around DB Engineers who have stressed upon having keys for Table level integrity.

Thanks for your time.The primary benefit of this approach to database design is job stability. The database only exists in your head, so they can never fire you.

The disadvantage is that no sane person would ever let you near another project again.|||Thanks for the reply... (the db designers are no longer present... they were contractors, before my time)

I thought this was extremely strange to not have any keys at the table level. I have worked with Oracle Databases in two other jobs and have been involved with Oracle schemas for about 8 years... and keys were a MUST. I was just unsure if I was missing some benefit I was unaware of... or something 'new' in RDBMS theory.

It scares me to think that the application sitting on top of this schema could malfunction and input data without any integrity constraints existing at the table level. This should be a fun one to support. :eek:|||You have your job cut out for you.

Most likely, this database was "designed" by VB or C developers who view databases as nothing more than glorified file cabinets. These people cannot conceive of placing any business logic in the data layer, insisting that all code should be in the middle tier or the interface. It can be hard to talk sense to them, but the best rule of thumb I've come up with is "If a rule applies to the data, keep the rule with the data."

I bet most of the procedures in your database are nothing more than get-n-puts that insert or retrieve records. Put there, no doubt, by people who had heard that user's should not have direct access to the data, but who have little understanding of why.|||blindman, you should have a blog, or at least a web site

you can write (and one cannot say this about most of the blogs out there -- especially sql blogs)

it's hard work skimming through various forums for your occasional gems

put them out on the web for all to see|||Aw shucks, Rudy... :o
