I should begin by saying I'm fairly new to SQL Server. I'm an application
developer who has built front ends atop Server, but have never done much in
the way of design / development.
My question is in two parts;
1). What is the best way to remotely "create" an SQL Server database? I've
been told that this can be done with SQL Statements, but thought that there
may be a way using XML.
2). Can I use this same method to propogate updates to the remote database
without affecting the data?
To give you a better idea of what I'm trying to do, I have a client that
lives quite a ways up north. I'm building an application that will be
installed up there. I'd like a method to be able to make changes to this
database on my end (the development copy), create an XML file of the
"database structure" and have the other database or application import this
XML file, and add tables, fields and relationships if they don't already
exist.
I am working with SQL server 2000. The database is installed in my machine. Now I have got the ".ldf" and ".mdf" file pertaining to a database from someother server.
Is it possible to build the database present in the above said files in my server.
NOTE : I dont have a direct access to the remote server from where the above said files were obtained (otherwise I think the DTS utility would have come in handy).
VWD 2005 Express. Visual Basic. SQL Server 2005. I know how to set up SqlDataSources and their insert, delete, update, and select commands. I also have code for querying a Sql table and populating a dataset and scanning the dataset for values. However, I do not know how to modify records in a Sql table programmatically. Here is what I need to do: I need to open a Sql table. I need to process record bny record to check a particular field for a particular value. If the field has the particular value, I need to change it and write the record back to the table with the modification. The table is named "SystemUser" and the field is call "SystemUserTypeId." Can anyone provide me with sample code that would accomplish this? Thanks for the help.
I've used ClickOne to package my desktop database application (Developed using VB 2005 Express and SQLServer 2005 Express) then installed it on another PC. Is there a way that I could modify the installed database just like I could if I used MS Access?

I'm developing a VB app to manipulate data in a table. I've created an SQL server (local) and have successfully connected to and manipulated data in a database that I created. I would like to be able to run the app on another machine and connect to the same server. I'm having trouble determining what the server name is. Tried a few things but get the "server does not exist" message. Server is set to authenticate SQL server and windows.
Is this happening because my server is (local)? If so how do I change it to permit remote access?
I'm writing an web app in VS2005. I've created a product.mdf database through VS2005's Server Explorer (to my knowledge, I'm not using Sql Express). (Side question. The .mdf files are a stand alone xml structure used as a database, correct?). When I execute locally, everything works great. But when I moved my code to where it is being hosted (remote computer). It's throwing the following error: 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) This is my connection string:<add name="MyConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Product.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
Can anyone please tell me how to access a SQL server database remotely. I have the IP address and login info. of the NT machine that is running SQL server database, and I want to access the data remotely.
I'm working on a website remotely through a VPN and my client uses SQLServer. There's a requirement for a database and my client uses SQLServer 2000.Is it possible to administer this database remotely, just like I dowith MySQL/PHP MyAdmin?Please elaborate.Thanks,Marjorie
I have a problem when trying to save a transaction remotely. I'm using my pc as the server and I can save without any problem from local (the same project). But when I try accessing the project from other pc, the transaction doesn't get saved into the db. No error displayed. It's just doesn't get saved. What is the problem? Is there any IIS setting that I should put in?
I have a query of the kind brains of this group.Is it possible to access a microsoft sqlserver database (for select, insert,update, delete, and for miscellaneous administrative actions such as tableand index creation and deletion) remotely from a compiled C program (and/or,from Perl) running on a NON microsoft platform, such as Sun's Solaris and/orLinux?What toolset(s) could be used (on the UNIX/Linux end) for such a purpose?Would it require a corresponding special toolset to be installed on theWindows server end as well? (I'd prefer not to have to do that ifpossible.)If you are not now rolling on the floor laughing at the "heresy" of such anotion, thanks in advance.DanJoin Bytes! (replace 'glowing' with 'lucent')
Hi everybody, Currently we have a MIS application, developed in VB 6.0 - SQL Server 2000 platform, which is used by around 60 users in our office. We are planning to host a website remotely, which would allow clients to place orders, track order status etc. on it. Would it be possible to access our local SQL database from the remote website?
One of my tables in the db contains the websites and the location of their link directory. i.e. domain.com/linkdirectory I want to run a check against every website's robots.txt file to ensure that it doesn't look like this: user-agent: * Disallow: /linkdirectory/ so I need a program that does the following: For each website in database (start of loop) Does robots.txt exist on their site ?(run a remote check) if it does is their link directory blocked in robots.txt? if so, then log their user id and website name into an array for later use end if endif end loop How would I do this in ASP.net 2.0?
Morning Guys, I have a database where I need to kill a remote connection. If I was manually logged into the box i would you a netstat command to stop the service. I would like to end a process from another machine before starting a restore process
WSUS is installed on my windows 2003 server. During the install, parameter DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS was not specified, and so no remote connection was possible.
I used SVRNETCN.exe to enable TCP/IP remote connection on port 1433. However it seems not to work.
FROM THE SERVER :
osql -E -S MYSERVERWSUS works fine but
osql -E -S 127.0.0.1WSUS doesn't work, i get the famous error
[DBNETLIB]Serveur SQL spécifié non trouvé. [DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
If i user "osql -L" command, my instance doesn't appear in the list
FROM A CLIENT COMPUTER
osql -E -S MYSERVERWSUS and
osql -E -S MY_SERVER_IPWSUS don't work, i get the same error
I've tried tried to understand for hours, and i'm lost. I thought there may be a problem between SQL and 2003, and read SQL sp3a was required. I ran
select @@version from osql and got result

I am experiencing a Named Pipes Provider error 40 message as detailed below. I get this when I'm running the dta utility on a production server which is trying to remote onto a test server to use the metadata and optimizer there.
The error reported is...
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
(note: there is no (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: xxx) reported at the end of the error string)
The error results from the following cmdline syntax run from the production server.
dta -A 0 -E -e C:TuningLog.xml -F -ix C:DTA.xml -N OFF -of C:outputdta.sql -rl ALL -s DTA_20071205
Prod box: 64bit SQL2005 SP2 Std Ed Named instance, TCPIP and Named Pipes enabled, SQL Browser service running. Test box: 32bit SQL2005 SP2 Std Ed Default instance, Listening for local and remote connections on TCPIP and Named Pipes (configured through the SAC), SQL Browser service running. From the SQL Log on the test box I can see TCPIP is listening & Named pipes is listening on \.pipesqlquery
There is no firewall configured on either box.
I can connect to the test server from the prod box using sqlcmd -E -S<servername> I can ping the test server from the prod box
Would you have any idea what I'm doing incorrectly? The genericity of the error message doesn't give me much of a clue and the resolutions I've read all revolve around SQLBrowser, surface area config, and SQL Express which I've covered off.
i have a stored procedure that backups database on server A which i execute this SP from server B in a scheduled job. when i run this job it gives me an error: Executed as user: domainuser_name. Could not relay results of procedure 'usp_BackupDBOnServerA' from remote server 'ServerB'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7221) [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7312). The step failed. i searched MS KB, everywhere but could not find the solution or even explanation why this happenning. both sql servers are 2000 and they are linked.
Hi, I hope you can help.I have configured a Windows 2003 web server and SQL 2005 Server (on same box) to successfully allow remote connections and to allow access via SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005.The problem I have is that I want to restrict access to the databases on the server via the Management Studio to specific databases e.g. 1 database user "sees" only 1 database.I can configure it so that the user's remote access permissions do not allow access to other databases but they can still "see" the database listed in the Management Studio explorer.I can also configure it so that the users cannot see all the databases (by disabling View All Databases on SQL Server), but this means that they cannot not see their own database which they have permissions for.Is it impossible to have the desired behaviour of only displaying the database which the remote user accessing has permissions for and hiding all other databases?I have MSN'd,Googled and Yahoo'd this one to no avail :(Many thanksFergus
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database, i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database, it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still the problem persist.
I have an existing table called OrderHeader with a column called ID. The ID column is currently set as an INT. I want to run a script to modify that column to be an IDENTIY. I've tried the following:
ALTER TABLE OrderHeader ALTER COLUMN [ID] INT IDENTITY
I am trying to modify data in a tble using the Stored Procedure below. It doesnt work properly. I seem to only be getting one character. I think it has something to do with me using "nchar" with the variables. The value I am changing is actually a string.
I have a DTS package package1 which imports an excel sheet into my DataBase.ANd its saved and scheduled and running fine.Actually the excel sheet will be located daily @ c:ruceexceldata.But now we wanted to change the location of the file to c:ruce1ewexceldata
I have a scheduled DTS package which gets the data from a text file and imports into a sql table.The table will be droped and created whenever the DTS package runs.previusly the table has 6 rows and now i wanted to add a column row_id which is having an idenity seed.So how can I modify my package so that I can get done with my requirements.
I have a query that I am working on that involves 2 tables. The query below is working correctly and bringing back the desired results, except I want to add 1 more column of data, and I'm not exactly sure how to write it.
What I want to add is the following data.
For each row that is brought back we want to have the COUNT(*) of users who joined the website (tbluserdetails) where their tbluserdteails.date is > the tblreferemails.referDate
Effectively we are attempting to track how well the "tell a friend" via email feature works, and converts to other joined members.
Any assistance is much appreciated!!
thanks once again mike123

I probably know that I don't want to do this, but I have an odd case.
I have a database with a bunch of stored procedures and functions. 128 of them reference a different database than the one they're in. For testing puposes, I need to temporarily re-point these functions and procedures to a different database.
I suspect the answer will be a resounding 'No', but I was wondering if it was possible to somehow run a query against syscomments where I could update all of those objects with the temporary database name rather than edit each and every one of them. Conceptually, it would just be an UPDATE using REPLACE. Pretty comfortable with that, but I'm always very reluctant to mess with stuff like that.
I'll probably still just do it through QA, but I was wondering if it's possible to do something like that and thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion.
I want to drop a table from a publication , so that i can copy some data from another server . After the copy , i want to add the article or the table back again to the publication without making any changes to the subscribers configuration .
Is it really possible on SQL 7.0 ? Right now it does not allow me to copy the data to the published table or even drop the article (table) and it says that the article is published for replication and cannot be dropped or modified . The table is configured for transactional replication .
I will have to drop the entire publication and create all the subcribers again .
I've learned to create DTS packages, saving them in a SQL database. But how can one modify a saved DTS package? And how does one delete a saved DTS package?
