    I'm going nuts here. My SQL Server 2005 Management Studio is always freezing when I'm trying to save a new table I've created in database diagram view. The baloon tooltip come up saying the it's busy performing operations. It remains busy like that "forever". I kill the process fire it up again and there it is: the table created. :confused::mad:

      Yeah I've noticed it too, so you're not crazy :) Really irritating when it happens!

        For me it happens all the time. At first I thought it was because there was a large database attached(60 GB). But I've detached it, and it still freezes. Aren't there some tweaks: disable that feature, kill that process kind of things?

          It occurred to me a few times. Actually, it's been a long time ago. I don't know the reason. Have you tried to re-install Management Studio or even the whole SQL Server?

            I was kinda hoping to avoid that. I'm on a tight schedule so, no reinstall is possible for the moment. I'm using a way around it. I create my tables independent of the Diagram view and then add them to the diagram. At least this doesn't cause freezing.

              I know what you mean. BTW, usually I create tables and other database objects using T-SQL, so I can save the scripts for usage in the future and/or include a database generation feature in the app or DAL.

                Make sure you don't have an blocking triggers on your database. I had a trigger that took forever to run and it blocked saving table changes. Normally it timed out though.

                  SQL Server has had an SP. Might that help?

                    It is a common occurence when you are using the diagramming tool. Just go and get a coffee or chat with a co-worker or surf CP while that is happening.;)

                        I can now think of a Microsoft KB article titled: "KB: 1878787: Using the SQL Server Management Studio diagramming can cause Cancer" SYMPTOMS When you use the Micrsoft SQL Server diagramming, and smoke while you wait for the process to finish, you may get cancer. CAUSE This issue may occur if both of the following conditions is true: • You use the SQL digramming tools to save changes to tables. • While the Management Studio is doing its work, you decide to smoke. RESOLUTION Microsoft advises you not to smoke while waiting for SQL management studio to save changes to tables. One resolution is to enagage in other activities such as talking to co-workers or surfing code project.

                            There is most likely a database lock that is causing the crash. SSMS freezes until the query is returned from the database.

                                  Actually that's a good point. Long-running queries will take Schema Stability locks (shown in SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager as Sch-S) which prevent schema updates from being made until the locks are released.

                                  Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
