I've been using URL asp shopping cart (free version) for a while with an access database and it worked perfectly.
My store is very popular now (more than 200 simultaneous users) and I need to migrate to a professional database. Comersus is compatible with SQL Server and mySQL. Which one do you recommend? My idea was to use mySQL since in that case I can purchase Power Pack Medium ($239) instead of Premium (.$370)
I have always used PHP and MySQL to do anything database related on the web, however I find myself in a new situation. I've been handed the daunting task of creating a (relatively) simple, partially database driven website for my company's intranet.
The one problem I have is that all of our servers are Windows 2000 based because all of the in-house software we have works off of SQL Server... and I've never touched a windows based server, SQL Server, or ASP in my life.
Searching through the forums, I've been able to find a few ASP tutorial sites, but everything I've found seems to be either all technical info and no basics or a basic tutorial written for people who are already familiar with Visual Basic, C, or another type of windows programming 'thing'.
According to �Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0� from Wrox, Data Source Names
�are a largely outdated method of specifying connection details, mainly because they use ODBC drivers instead of OLE-DB providers to handle the data. We include them here only because you may come across DSNs when working with legacy systems.�
Which is better: using ODBC with a mySql database or not using ODBC with this type of database?
Also, based on the model below, how do you create a connection to a mySql database (using myODBC and not using myODBC)? Please note that I will be testing the database on my PC but it will also be used on a website. Code:
I have my site hosted with uplinkearth.com which supports MySQL; they say: "We have set up your MySQL database for you." (i.e. it is ready for me to work on it). My site is a classifieds page that is small(not much code at all) but gets a lot of traffic and I want to switch from Access to MySQL.
I know that some conventions are different, but on a more general note, what is the process of conversion? I have someone who will be working with the ASP code, I just need to know the basic procedure, i.e. how do I make changes to my database, etc. How will it be different than working with Access? I've heard "MySQL Front" is a good program to edit the DB.
Not that much experience working with .asp, but I have managed to create a project.
This project currently has a DB in Access.
I'm moving it over to MySql.
Was able to ODBC import it and all data seems gtg.
Uploaded a test folder, and modified my connection so I can test the MySQL database before I change over. Code:
other then the connection string are there any diffrences when using mysql and not access?
i know mysql has more powerful tools but will the querying and searching and updating be the same syntax in asp?
I don't hv access to install ODBC drivers on the server so trying to use SqlConnection to connect to MySQL but so far no luck.
Been trying:
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(
"Data Source=(66.79.180.140);Database
=testdb;User ID=test;Password=testing");
conn.Open();
And it fails on the conn.Open() call with the exception:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

I try running the pages, and have been making changes to the code as I see errors come up.
All was moving forward until now.. where I just keep getting 500 errors, and can't get it to tell me what's wrong.
I use Option Explicit, and all my variables are posted.
Is there any other code I can put into my pages so that it will not just generate a 500 message when there is something wrong?
Or any Software programs I can get which will help me troubleshoot my code for MySQL?
I've got a query that works fine when used in mySQL but completely fails
when I try to apply it to MS Access, weird thing is that it is just a copy
of a stored procedure that works fine in the same copy (with the
Request.QueryString replaced by a fixed value) ! Any explaination would be
great, ID is a number BTW :
SELECT page_title,ID,page_content FROM content WHERE ID='" &
Request.QueryString("ID") & "' '
Had a look at aspfaq.com but couldn't find anything that applys.
Is it possible to call fields from a MySQL Database and an Access Database on the same asp web page? If so, can someone please point me in the direction of a good guide/article/post on how to do this.

View Replies View RelatedI've got a UAPortal (asp freeware intranet) on a godaddy hosting package that comes with a free mysql database. I can't connect the asp site to the godaddy sql server.
They give me the connection strings, but don't tell me where or how to use them! Support does no good, they tell me that is programming, get an expert.
UAPortal comes with an Access database, so when installed it works fine, but its only Access. I want to use the mysql database which is faster, larger and more useful. I opened the Common.asp file and added the info from the connection strings, but now I get an error message:

Does anyone know how to do this?
I work with ASP for several weeks now and i really like it! But until now i have just used it in connection with my localhost. I made connections to a SQL Database and to an ACESS Database with using the ODBC Tool from WIndows!!
Now i want to publish my website but i don't know how to handle the connection string kind of thing. My MySQL-Database is on a different server than the website and i need a connection string where i can type in the server, a password and a username and it should then connect.
I have an Access DB connected to an IIS via ODBC, and use ASP pages to get info to/from the DB. My guys in IT now want to migrate the Access DB to SQL Server. Can anybody tell me what this implies in terms of :
a) syntax of my ASP pages
b) syntax of my SQL statements
c) other problems I may not have thought of.
I am told it is really easy, however, I just cannot get is to work. BTW, I have activated the "SQL Syntax" option in Access, in case that helps any.
This might be more of a database question than ASP. But when you create a database and then create relationships with the database, once you open an asp page say to create a new record; once the record is saved, shouldn't it also update the relationship with the table involved?
Unless I am doing something wrong, it is not updating the second table; for example:
rs.AddNew
rs("username") = Request.Form("txtUserName")
rs("password") = Request.Form("txtPassword")
rs("firstname") = Request.Form("txtFirstName")
rs("lastname") = Request.Form("txtLastName")
rs("email") = Request.Form("txtEmail")
rs.Update
Response.Write("Record has been added!")
Say the information is entered, because of the UserID field is "autonumber", that would be my primary key: so "1" would be related with the second table where I have:
upload.id (PK)
userID
Upload1
date1
Upload2
date2
Upload3
date3
If on the other table I have number of uploads to generate, whenever it adds a document, it would have the relationship of the username, and the upload:
But when I do that, even adding the code, it does not update the code. So what am I doing wrong? Do I have to do another Add.New at the same time for the second table?
I ask this here because as ASP Developers I figure you have more experience with windows Webhosts. I know Phpmyadmin is usually provided on Apache platforms to manipulate MySQL databases. What interface is usually provided by webhost to access and manipulate your Microsoft SQL databases?

View Replies View RelatedWish I'd found the thread yesterday before spending half the day fighting
the same battle and finding a workaround. But at least it explains why my
final approach worked.I set the remote folder as a virtual folder on the webserver, assigned web rights to a domain user and used fso.copyfile(server.mappath) to copy a
file created locally.I'm not thrilled that access to the remote location can't be controlled at the user level this way but at least access to the calling script can.
Strange though, the problem showed up during a migration. Server A had been
hosting this asp page and connecting to server B sucessfully. I was moving
the application to server C when I ran into the problem. All three machines
are W2K, same service pack, same domain, same users, same access
rights/method configuration. Go figure.
I was given the following by my host:
Database name: asdfafasf
IP/Host: 11.111.11.111
Server: asfafaf
Username: afafdadaf
Password: adfadf
Every program I use (excluding Enterprise Manager - I don't have it) to connect is unsuccessful. Access Projects for example, when I try to establish a connection, it doesn't ask for IP/Host.
I have admin privileges on a remote server and would like to use a web interface (asp) to manipulate various files. It seems that when I access the remote web pages I only have IWAP and IWAM privileges. Is there a way to automatically send my admin username and password via the asp pages so I will have admin privilages?

1. There is not much load on both the web and sql server and this is the only connection which I'm trying to open with the database.
2. I have tried connecting to the database using the System DSN, but it won't connect
3. On some days and at some times, the page works perfectly with no complaints.
