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'.
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)
According to �Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0� from Wrox, Data Source Names �are a largely outdated method of specifying connection details, mainly because they use ODBC drivers instead of OLE-DB providers to handle the data.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.
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.
I have ASP project uses Access DB .. I need to convert the site into Mysql. But I keep getting some Runtime Error ( Mismatch ) and I don't know what the problem .. Code:
is there a way to convert a SQLServer DB to MySQL, I want a duplicate of the SQLServer in MySQL. I did not find a free tool to do this, so I was wondering is there a way to do this by asp code?
having issues submitting dates to a mysql db, ive converted the database from access to mysql and im having issues submitting dates. this is what i have when submitting to access Code:
I recently got an error message from the Java release:
j2rel.4.2_05
regarding
c:program filesjavaj2rel.4.2_05injpiexp32.dll
This message came in a .log file to my desktop, and since then, every once in a while I get this following error while trying access my pages in which I am creating. Code:
currently i m working on a web-based project using asp.net and mysql database. i using MySQL Connector/Net to connect my asp.net page to the to MySQL database server. My database is stored in the ftp server. In short, i m trying to connect my asp.net page to the ftp database server. Code:
I'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:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Access denied for user: 'jwyss@winhostecn82.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net' (Using password: NO)
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:
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:
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?
Can any help me on how to use ASP to access a mail server? I need to send an email from the web but i don't want to use "mailto" as the contents sent using "mailto" is messy.
I am at a loss trying to set the connection string to connect to an access db on a web server from a secure server! i have tried using the ipaddress of the webserver in the file name and the http: url but to no avail.
I have a database in MS Access and have one table in it (tblcontest) which has 30 fields in it, I want to export all the fields into Sql Server 2000, any idea how to? PS: I dnt wanna create all the fields manually one by one in SQL Server.
Wish 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.
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?
I am about to migrate my asp web pages from a previous well functioning connection with Access 2003 to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition instead.
I have created a database in SQL Server called "test_db". As far as I know I have not set any particular user id or password for the database.
In this microscopic database I have onnly a single table called "name" and in this table I have two columns called "fname" and "lname". I have two records stored in the name table. What I want to achieve is simply to display these two records in my asp-page.
How can I achieve this and what am I missing here?
