I am in the process of installing a SQL database at a customer
location. I have determined that there are 3 ways to do this, and I
wanted to know which is the best of the 3.
1 Install From Script.
In this method I create the database and its objects in scripts that
are run via osql utility on the SQL server machine. For loading any
initial data that I need in the database I also run bcp commands.
2 Install from a backup
In this method I created an empty database on the SQL server, and then
restore over it the database from a backup of the database that I need
to deploy. Then I add or re-attach the users for the database. I
perform all of these operations using osql as well.
3 Install by attaching the data files.
In this method I created an empty database on the SQL server, and then
I attach the data files to the database using the sp_attach procedure.
Then I add or re-attach the users for the database. I perform all of
these operations using osql as well.
Although it is no problem for me to use any of these methods, I wanted
to know from you veterans out there what the best practices are. And
also if there are any unseen hazards for each method above. Or if I
am totally off-the-target, and there is another method that is the
preferred way.
I've downloaded a copy of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express from MS. Can this product be used to query an SQL database at a web site. Conversely, is there a command line utility for running SELECT statement queries on my remote web site database?
I'm I missing something or does the log shipping wizard really not have an option for sending the transaction logs to a server outside my network? Is that something you have to do yourself with SSIS or a third party app?
Hello everybody! Can anyone tell me what steps i should follow in order to get my web site (which is hosted with a web host in ireland) to connect to yet another server (different country) where SQL Server 2005 will be running? Thank you! - Callam
Hi all, I followed this excellent tutorial (from Microsoft) about creating and using a SQLExpress db table internal to your website: http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/video-08.aspx and the site I created works just fine - locally. When I publish to my web host provider I get this error: [SqlException (0x80131904): An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)] My web host provider supports .NET 2.0 but doesn't support MS SQL Server. But that should matter - right? Because I'm putting the db instance right in the website? I did a search and followed some of the advice: I went into the SQL Server Surface Area Config Mgr and set SQLExpress for local and remote connections and rebooted/republished. I also have SQL Server 2005 installed as a separate entity (if that makes a difference). I still get the above error. This is the connection string from the web.config: <connectionStrings><add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Customers.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings>And this is the call from the markup: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Customer]"></asp:SqlDataSource> Does any know the fix for this? Thanking you in advance Pat
Recently had to rebuild our SQLServer installation from scratch! major pain!! We had a remote server running a replicated version of the internal database system for the website. We also have a SQL DB hosted with a new ISP which is in test mode. All managed via EM.
Re-installed software, upgaded tp SP3, new MDAC. Set up the references for the two external DB's with the Client Network Utility. In EM set up a connection to DB on the new ISP, works perfectly, tried on the old DB and get 'SQL Server is not running or access denied' error message.
I confirmed the server is running, as its our live site. Cant connect using Query Analyser. I can ping the adress successfully. I've created new user logings that mach on both machines/servers, still no luck!
Can anyone suggest what the problem is/might be or how to fix... I'm flat out of ideas!
I have just installed SSRS 2005 SP2 on a x86 box (one of several boxes we use to run SSRS). However, on this particular machine, I get an http 404.3 error (file not found) when attempting to access any aspx file in the reports virtual directory. aspx files in the /reportserver site all return just fine.
All the check marks for the configuration site show green I've uninstalled / re-installed / re-booted / etc... No luck
Is there anyway to install a Reporting Services Project that doesn't involve either using the Deploy function from Visual Studio or manually via the upload function in Report Manager?
In other words is it possible to build an msi or a set up file that can be used to install Reporting Service projects?
I need to only receive files via ftp when the file does not exist on my local machine. FIles are being added to the remote location on a weekly basis and they are being downloaded locally. I do not want to download all the files each time. Instead, just download what was not already downloaded. Is there a way to do this? I want to do this using SSIS / ftp task.
I'm trying to find any useful whitepapers about how to effectively build and operate a disaster recovery site at a remote location for SQL Server 2000. Does anyone know where to find such information?
I also know that one good option for my customer is using the Mirroring feature of SQL Server 2005. What are the other options? Is Replication an effective one for a mission-critical database (online banking)?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and I can't get Reporting Services to create the virtual directories in Default Web Site, instead it creates a new web site called Report Server with the virtual directories under that, this Report Server website points to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerInetPubwwwroot. Any ideas as to why this happens? My Default Web Site is called Default Website from the initial IIS install , I am on XP Pro SP 2 with IIS 5.1. This is an issue for me since I don't want to have on another site that doesn't have the aspnet mapings.
I am dumbfounded and can't figure out what to do to make it not do that with the default configuration option checked during install. Should I uninstall and reinstall again and not use the default configuration?
The situation I have is I want to push out SQL Native Client to all the comupters on our network and also create a dsn once the client has been installed.
Can somebody please tell me the best way to go about this.
I am wondering how some of you update your database once it is already been in use. So take for example you have a few tables and users can enter data into the site. Now suppose you either add tables to the db or you add fields to an existing table. I am using sql express 2005 and just want to copy the db over with the copy website but it would overwrite any data users entered.Is there any easy solutions or suggestions for this.Thanks
I am developing a web site with asp.net 2.0 and c#, using Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ( I am still learning about these technologies and languages ). I transferred my web site files to a new computer. I created a empty SQL database called "SiteData.mdf", I stopped the SQL server and then I replaced this database with a previous one with the same name and already populated with data. I used this maneuver in order to avoid having to insert all data again. The web site works fine when running inside Visual Studio, however when I try to run it in its published format it gives this error message: Server Error in '/MA' Application. Cannot open database "SiteData" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'CENTAURUSASPNET'. I also observed that inside the SQL Server Management Studio, in the database properties, it shows "ETHERASPNET" as User or Roles ( however "ETHERASPNET" was created using the old computer's name [ or should I say domain ? ]) but the permissions list correctly displays the new name "CENTAURUSASPNET". I think that I, probably, should create a new user using the name "CENTAURUSASPNET" because it would use the name of the new computer ( or domain ) and then I should delete the old user name. Actually I tried to do that but I get the message "An object named ‘CENTAURUSASPNET' cannot be found". So, 1) What should I do to get the database being connected with the published web site ( note: I am publishing it in my own computer for awhile ) ? 2) How do I create the new user name "CENTAURUSASPNET" ? 3) I also would like to know why the name of the database in the Server Explorer panel of VS appears as "centaurus.SiteData.dbo" -while- inside the Object Explorer panel of the SQL Server Management Studio it appears simply as "SiteData" ?
I am new to the internet field. Can anybody help me in administering the SQL database on the site. Are there any tools so that I can administer the database on the site straight from my PC???

How can I maintain a parellel SQL server database on my PC?? How can I take backup from my site to the SQL database which is placed in my PC?? I want to keep backup of my database in my PC.

Hi.Does anyone know any web site with common database models presented andexplained.Database models like calendar, adressbook, storehouse...Thnx in advance
I have contracted a webproject to be done. My client allready has a website. I need to create another website that replace the existing one with the new look. This is the problem. The old website has a Database that is associated with user registration & all other data of the company. So, I need to implement the same database to the new website which I am going to develop.
In this case, how can I start? can I add a SQL express databse to the new project and import the data while the development phase? or should I use a SQL server installed while developing the site?
Please give me an easy to understanable reply that I can deal with the old database?

My SQL server 2005 is standard version, OS Windows server 2003 sp2, I am using Administrator account to install it.
I have a vb.net web page which I created (a shopping cart). I created this site using vb.net 1.1 and SQL 2000 on my laptop. On my laptop everything works properly, but when I tried moving it to GoDaddy (http://currahee3-506.org/px/default.aspx). In the code, each query to the SQL server is done using stored procedures. When you first go the page, a drop down is presented. When you select "Shirt" from the category drop down. A second drop down menu is then displayed and will let you select what type of shirt you are interested in purchasing. Select Polo Shirt Without Pocket. Upon doing so, I receive an error message:

I have build a ASP.NET website with a login form. I can create an account but I am not able to login into the site. I have checked the connection string. I have changed the database folder and moved files around to get the database runing from a different folder but it still wont work.
I have been working with Visual Studio 2005 and the Personal Web Site Starter Kit. All is well and working. My problem is that after the database is updated (as in uploading photos and album creation) and the original web site is edited and republished, the web site database is overwritten and all the work is lost. What is the proceedure to either copy the web database to the development site on my computer so updates will not be lost, or a method of publishing that will not loose the up to date content on the web server? I would much prefer to be able to copy the database to my development computer as adding tables to the database is something that needs to be done. Any help on this would be appreciated.
I am trying to create an un-attended SQL 2005 Express install. I have successfully made my own template.ini file to install SQL the way I like but I cannot find a way to make it install with the "Ad hox remote queries" option enabled.
Is there anyway to do this? I can't seem to find any switches in the INI file to allow this.

I am very new to SQL Server and am just starting to look into replication as a possible solution to a problem I have. I have a local database which will be running on either MSDE or SQL Express 2005. I have a database on a webserver running SQL Server 2005 Standard which I wish to keep as an exact copy of the MSDE/Express one. If data is changed in the local db then I want the webserver db to be updated with this data, preferably as the change occurs, but it could be on an hourly schedule if required.
If data in the webserver db is altered then I do not wish for it to update the local db, but I would like it to be assumed that the change is erroneous and reset the item to whatever exists in the local db. In other words, should a table be erroneously dropped or something from the webserver db then the table would be recreated when it syncs with the local db (rather than propogating the change back to the local db and thus losing local data).
Basically I want the web db to be an exact mirror of the local db as often as possible. Given that the webserver is running SQL Server 2005 Standard and the local machine will be running either MSDE or SQL EXPRESS, is this achievable and what would be the best way of achieving it? Should I use merge replication or database mirroring? I have succeeded in getting 1-directional merge replication working by setting the webserver up as a publisher and distributor and setting up a push merge subscription on the local machine with an ExchangeType of 1. However, this won't correct the data in the web db if it is compromised until it is altered locally.
It crossed my mind that I could write a small application to utilise tablediff to compare each table in the DBs and get it to correct the web db if required on a regular basis. Would this be a silly approach?
