'Copy Website' Function In VS 2005 Updates Or Overwrites Database?
Sep 8, 2006
I have a sql 2005 express database uploaded to my website with important information in it.
Now, I had to make some table change and need to update the online database.
I am not sure if the 'Copy Website' function in Visual Studio 2005 will update the database structure and data or will simply overwrite it.
Does anybody know the answer? If it overwrites it, would you please point me to information on how can I update the database structure and data without ruining it?
Hi all, I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project? Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
HiI’m abut developing a website that has a 200 megabytes SQL database ,in my estimation the maximum online users are 100 users for first year , I want to make shore a SQL express 2005 database in good enough for my purpose. Another question is how much can I count on a SQL express 2005 database? I mean how much it could be grown and abut security (I mean is it as secure as SQL server?). Thanks.
Hi all, I am stuck with a problem using ASP.Net website. I created a website which accesses a database table in SQL Server 2005. The default.aspx is a form which inserts/updates/deletes data from the database. After creating the website I published it to IIS (Inetpub -> wwwroot). When I use Visual Studio 2005 and build the website and start with debugging. the form comes up and i can insert/update or delete the data from the table as I want. Now, as I have the website published I can access the form from another sharepoint website using the url as /Employee_Data/Default.aspx">http://<mydesktop>/Employee_Data/Default.aspx the form shows up but I am not able to access any of the database. I do not see any errors either. Once I click on the button the page just refreshes but nothing else happens. I have my web.config as :- <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <appSettings/> <connectionStrings/> <system.web> <compilation debug="true"/> <authentication mode="Windows"/> </system.web> </configuration>
Am I missing something? I even have Anonymous access in the IIS inetpub properties. I can even the database as I am the administrator..... I appreciate your suggestions.
I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I'm trying to figure out how to copy a table(s) from my local database to my web hosting database. I know how to do it in 2000, but it's completely different now. Is this feature not allowed on SSMSE? If so, then how do I deploy database tables to a web host?Also, how do you add local database(s) to SSMSE? I tried to use 'attach database' in SSMSE and it wouldn't allow me to navigate to My Documents folder where the database resides. Thanks...
Can anybody know ,how can we add builtin functions(ROW_NUMBER()) of Sql Server 2005 into database library. I get this error when i used into storeprocedure : ROW_NUMBER() function is not recognized in store procedure. i used MS SQL SERVER 2005 , so i think "ROW_FUNCTION()" is not in MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library. I need to add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library. Can anbody know how we can add that function into MS SQL SERVER 2005 database library?
According to the RDL spec (nov 2005), RDL Designers are supposed to preserved custom elements. In my initial test Visual Studio 2005 overwrites/removes any custom elements. I tried to find some support/samples of this but was unsuccessful.
I'm able to use SQL 2005's VB management page to import the tables and views from a database in SQL 2000 on another server, but how do I get all of the data like stored procedures, etc...?
Two weeks ago I had a problem with transfering databases from v8 to v9, I placed the question here (original message attached), but I received not the answer which I need. I try to transfer databases with the CDW ("Copy Database Wizard"), which should run through 5 action steps. The process stops after the 'action 2', the step "Create Package" failed allways. The error message which I receive is "Library not registered". I was very surprised, because two weeks ago the process stoped after the action 4 (4/5) while the step "Execute SQL Server Agent Job". I changed nothing on my system or databases. The only thing I can remember is the "Microsoft Update" downloaded and installed a new patch, but it wasn't a SQL Server 2005 update or something with databases.
I have now two questions. What means the error "Library not registered" while the CDW process and what could be the reason for the error in 'action 5' "Execute SQL Server Agent Job" while the CDW process? **(CDW = "Copy Database Wizard")

I have following problem with the "SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition". I am in a small network and try to copy a database from a version 8.0 to a version 9.0 "SQL Server" (2 computers). I use the "Copy Database Wizard" and the process did 4 from 5 actions correctly, the last action with the name "Execute SQL Server Agent Job" fails allways. My "SQL Server Agent" process is started and runs well. In real I don't need the "SQL Server Agent" in any way in my database, so I don't understand why this process generates this error. I try to copy this old "Portal" "ASP.NET 1.1" database to my new "SQL Server 2005". Can someone help me?
I need to copy a database from our production server to my local development machine.
This was easy in SQL 2000, but I'm stumped for SQL 2005. In order to use Management Studio's Database/Tasks/Copy Database feature, I must have SysAdmin rights on not only my local machine, but also on the production server machine. Because there are other important databases on that machine, they won't give me sa rights on the entire production machine.
Someone suggested a two step process: 1. I first script the database 2. Then I use Import/Export Wizard to copy the data.
For scripting, I see that in Management Studio, I can use either Database/Script As, or, I can use Database/Tasks/Generate Scripts. Which is more appropriate? They seem to be very different.
Copying a database seems like a common need. How do other members here do it?

Hi;I thought I would rephrase a question I asked in another post to morequickly get to the heart of the matter. My apologies for anyone whois offended by what appears to be a repetition.My company has two identical web sites. One copy is for our customer,and one copy is for us to test our code changes on.We developed a hard to isolate bug in the copy of the web stie for ourcustomers.We believe the bug might be data related.We would like to replace our test database with our productiondatabase to try to reproduce the problem without interrupting ourservice to our customers.The test database and production database have all the same tables andstructures,but the names of the databases are slightly different.We have tried dropping tables from our test database and importingtables from our customer database in Management Studio. We got thedata but the identity fields were turned off as identities. We canmanually turn them back on in Management Studio, but we have severalhundred tables.In the end we just want to the data from our customer db to be in ourtest db with the test db name being the same, and have our identityfields preserved.What is the easiest way to do this?Thanks in advance for anyinformationSteve
Hello everyone. i am using vwd 2005 express edition along with sqlexpress 2005. if i need to use database in my project. i click on database explorer and create a new table from the existing database. it is working very fine.

Hello All: I'm new to this forum and new to the upgrade process for SQL2K5. I would like to get this upgrade moving. However, I running into a few problems. Right now I am attempting to use the Copy Database Wizard. SQL2K5 and SQL2K are installed on different servers. I made a copy of the tables for the database I am converting and this is the one I am trying to copy over. The process runs fine until it gets to the SQL Server Agent Job. It fails on this step and prompts to check the event log. Does anyone know what might cause this?
Right now I'm looking for the easiest solution to test the data. Is the copy database wizard the best approach? Can anyone recommend another one? Maybe backup/restore.
I used export from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and that worked, but it brought over the dbo prefixes.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Or at least a shove in the right direction.
I have database diagrams in my original db which was built with Management Studio. I now have scripts to build the database from scratch, but my diagrams are left behind, back in the original db. Is there any way to copy the original diagrams into the new db? I know in SS2000 the diagrams were in the dtproperties table; any idea where they are in SS2005?
I just upgraded to SQLServer 2005 Standard. I do development in adatabase on one server. When a solution is completely tested, I moveit to the operational database on a different server. With SQLServer2000, I could just open the .adp file and do File->Get ExternalData->Import to move the objects. That does not work with 2005.What is the recommended method for moving objects from one database toanother? Obviously, the objects that changed will not be the sameevery time.Thanks!Jer
Hi guys, I am trying to copy an entire SQL SERVER 2000 Database from the SERVER to any place in my laptop in order to run some tests without being connected to the net and the real DB. I am using the "Copy Database" function in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, but getting the Error described below: I will appreciate any help. Thanks in advance, Aldo.

i want to copy some tables from 1 database to another with its data & procedures etc to another database in Microsoft SQL 2005. can any one help plz reply tnx alot
I have an application which stores records on a local SQL Express and I need to move the records to a SQL 2000 database. I have the SQL 2000 server linked in the Express Management Console (under Linked Servers). I'm trying to use a stored procedure to accomplish this, but get an error "Invalid object name 'ngtxa4-rsmsz-01.newpurchase.tblRequest'." Express uses a table named tblTRequest in the TempPurchase database, while 2000 uses a table named tblRequest in a NewPurchase database. Here is the stored procedure I'm using: USE [tempPurchase] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[InsertRequestToMain] Script Date: 07/09/2007 08:54:56 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[InsertRequestToMain] AS BEGIN INSERT INTO [ngtxa4-rsmsz-01].newpurchase.tblRequest (fldRequestDate, fldRequiredBy, fldUserID, fldWorkAreaID, fldVendorID, fldClassID, fldEstimate, fldMemo, fldStatusID, fldStatusDate, fldSystemID, fldtmpRequestID, fldUpdateCode) SELECT fldRequestDate, fldRequiredBy, fldUserID, fldWorkAreaID, fldVendorID, fldClassID, fldEstimate, fldMemo, fldStatusID, fldStatusDate, fldSystemID, tmpRequestID, UpdateCode FROM tblTRequest WHERE (fldHold = 0) END
Any assistance with this would greatly be helpful. Thank you.
I have a download "SQL Server 2005 Evalution Copy". I installed it to 3 machine, 1 - XP Professional (Witness) and 2 - Windows Server 2000 (Principle and Mirror) . And I want to try Database mirroring.
However, after restore the Log into mirror server I try to execute the following statement in Principle Server:
ALTER DATABASE TestDB SET PARTNER=N'TCP://[10.0.200.2]:5022' GO
The above 10.0.200.2 is the mirror server IP address.
it show error message as:
Msg 1416, Level 16, State 31, Line 1 Database "SCMPGroup" is not configured for database mirroring.
In Miorror Server
I execute the statement :
ALTER DATABASE TestDB SET PARTNER=N'TCP://[10.0.200.1]:5022' The above 10.0.200.1 is the principle server IP address.
It shows sucess
ALTER DATABASE TestDB SET WITNESS=N'TCP://[10.0.15.146]:5022'
it show error message as:
Msg 1416, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Database "SCMPGroup" is not configured for database mirroring.
Please help me! I down't know if NT4 domain or evalution copy problem in there.
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022'; go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
I am a very beginner in setting sql server 2005. I was not sure if sql 2005 workgroup edition supported online database when I compared on MSN comparison chart. Does workgroup edition only work in local computers? Can I install 2005 workgroup edition on a windows server and run a business website requiring database?Thanks in advance.
Has anyone used SQL Server 2005 on a production website? I know that it tops out at 1GB of ram, but it is free. Any idea how much load it will take before you need to move up to the full version?
I almost finish my website and ready to upload it to internet. However, I have a thought of how the database will work.
Here's the scenario. My website is a data-driven dynamic website with SQL as the database manager. I have 3 database files.
After I finish with everything, I will have to deploy the application to the webserver right? Now, let say I deploy / upload it to a hosting company. Then, people start using my website, all traffic coming in, and database are getting larger and larger. Then, let say I decide to make some changes to my website. I change the website here and there. However, I haven't uploaded / deployed it to the hosting server yet. I just make the changes in my computer. I test the application and changes that I make, everything works fine.
My question is: If I deploy / upload my website to the SAME hosting company after I make some changes, what will happen to the database in the hosting server? My website has been used my many users and database is getting larger. If I deploy ./ upload the website that I have made changes, will it overwrite the database in the hosting server? Or how does this work?
Anybody has any idea or maybe has already done it?
My database contains over 50 tables of information - some tables are quite large. Rather than upload the entire database (which I imagine could potentially lock out many users from browsing the website), I would like to upload changes to individual tables. My local database contains the most recent table information. What would be the best way to upload individual tables that would only lock one row at a time while the updates were taking place? A DTS package?
it must be simple, but not for me! there's a folder called db in the ftp part of the server and the admin told me to upload my database there,i don't know how to transfer my database in that folder.can you help me?
Hi there, I have a question which I put the company that host my website but I didnt get a conclusive answer. Maybe someone here will be able to advise or help me with my situation. I want to build a database that I will run on my local server and the front end of this will be run using a windows application. I have a website which I run the database on the remote server. What I would like to do is to be able to synchronize certain tables between the two databases (such as updating products table, or orders table). I am using sql server 2005 and I am using the sql server management studio to access my database on the remote server. I did notice there is a synchronzie button. I also came across some 3rd party tools. Not sure if that is the way to go. If anyone as done this before or can give me any suggestions, I would be delighted. Thanks Anthony
Does anyone know if it is legal to use SQL Server 2005 Express in a commercial website? There is no need for SQL Server 2005 so the Express would do the job great.Thx, Viktor
