The following steps allow you to set up a database connection either for all generators or for a specific generator.
  1. Open the database connection editor dialog on the Properties tab of the model project or of a specific generator.
  2. On the Connection tab click the Configure button to build the connection string. A Data Link Properties dialog will appear.
  3. On the Provider tab select the driver, e.g. SQL Native Client. Set the server name, credentials and the initial catalog on the Connection tab. Test the connection and click OK.
  4. On the Database Connection Configuration dialog click Next to select tables to exclude. If the operation times out, you can increase the timeout on this page.
  5. On the Excluded Tables tab select the tables that you want to exclude from the model. This will prevent those table from being imported into the model and the database update script will not consider them as deleted.
  6. Click Next and review the summary of your configuration. If working with a specific generator, you will have an option to save it as a project default configuration.
  7. Click Finish to save the database connection setup.

My connetion string is :Provider=SQLNCLI10;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Data Source=(local);
Thank you

Hi. Is this error shown when you press Next on the Connection tab of the Database Connection Configuration dialog? Did you configure the connection string through the Data Link Properties dialog, and did it work if you press Test Connection there?

Thanks for your feedback,

or this message appears when I click Next.

I set the connection string and it works when I test but I can not go to the next step

Your connection string looks fine. Do you have anything in the Timeout (sec) text box on that tab? Can you put some integer value like 60 in there?

I have same problem. My database's culture is Finland "fi-Fi". Maybe this is problem?

Thanks for reporting your problem. Yes, the DB culture may be the issue. Could you please run the following in your database and post the result:
select SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion')

Also, if you have the same culture for the database and your system, then can you try installing the previous version 5.6.0 and see if it works for you?

Answer that query is: 11.0.9231.178 Server is Azure-server. My Pc is Win10, Visual Studio 2015 and Xomega.net 6.6.1

My other Pc is Win10, Visual Studio 2013 and Xomega.net 5.6.1. This give different error message: "Invalid object name 'fn_listextendedproperty'"

Where I find and download earlier versions?

This is strange, since this error is supposed to be fixed in both 5.6.1 and 6.6.1 releases. I don't see it in 6.6.1 when I set my local regional settings to Finland, and your SQL Server version looks fine with a dot (.) as a decimal separator. Do you still see this error if you change the format on your Region and Language settings to English (United States), or more specifically when you change the Decimal symbol to a dot?

As for the other issue with fn_listextendedproperty function, it appears that unfortunately it is not supported by the Azure SQL Server. We will fix it shortly and will publish a patch release for that, but for now you can point to a local or on-premise database. Sorry about this.

I changed Region and Language settings to English (United States), then error message is "Invalid object name 'fn_listextendedproperty'".

And, then I changed regional settings back to Finland, the error message remain "Invalid object name 'fn_listextendedproperty'" ?????!!!!

So I will wait patch for Azure SQL server. Local SQL server is not possible for me.

PC: Win10, Visual Studio 2015 and Xomega.net 6.6.1

Very thanks! -Pekka-

Hi Pekka -

It looks like Azure now has a SQL Server version 12, which supports function fn_listextendedproperty, so that you'd be able to import a Xomega model from such a database. Is it feasible for you to upgrade to this SQL server version on Azure?

Thanks,
Xomega Team
