Can't Connect DataSource In VWD To Hosted Database
Mar 7, 2008
I've tried everything. The CreateUserWizard works fine, but then, I didn't have to connect anything for that. I've tried both SQLServer and MySQL. Connection Strings are correct, everything is correct as far as I can see. I've followed every step many many times. I'm about to go back to the old style and use VB6, because this is just stupid. The error I get 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)" If anyone could help me out with this I'd really appreciate it.

Hi I am trying to open a database connection to a Northwind database. I can open it with a datasource control and return data to a gridview, but can't programically. I get a sqlexception error. this is ust for learning.
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim S As New SqlConnection Dim builder As New SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder("Data Source") = ".SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:SQLNORTHWND.MDF" builder("Integrated Security") = True builder("Connect Timeout") = 30 builder("User Instance") = True S.ConnectionString = builder.ConnectionString Me.Label1.Text = S.ConnectionString S.Open() Me.Label2.Text = S.State.ToString S.Close() Me.Label3.Text = Me.SqlDataSource1.ConnectionString.ToString End Sub
The text in label2 and Label three are identical except there are "" around the datasource.
How come I can connect through the datasource control but not through code?

Hi,
I'm having loads of trouble trying to connect to SQL Server using management studio when the database is hosted within VMware.
Here is what I've found:
1) I can ping the Virtual machine at 192.168.10.70
2) If I open the virtual machine and use management studio locally on the machine, but use the above IP address, correct credentials, the database logs in ok.
3) If I open management studio but on my development machine and put the EXACT same credentials into the login screen of step 2, I get the dreaded error: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed to completion of the server not responding....
Remote connections are set to allowed on the VM host machine too, so I know its not this that is the problem.
The VM also hosts IIS and serves ASP pages just fine.
What am I missing?

All,
My ISP does not allow me to remotely connect to my hosted SQL Server DB--how can I use SQLDataSource and other data bound controls in development?
Here are my specs:
IDE: Visual Web Developer Express 2005
Database: MS SQL Server
ASP Version: ASP.NET 2.0
The SQL Server is hosted centrally at the ISP; basically I have been given the connection string parameters.
My question is this:
Do I use two web.config files (one for when I develop locally and one for when I deploy remotely)? If so, how? Will the SQLDataSource control find the connection string defined in web.config on the remote server? I don't want to have to write all of the database code and it would be a big loss of one of the major benefits of using ASP.NET 2.0 if I do.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Leslie

I've never used SQL Server before. I installed VB 2005 Express (I've been working with VB since I was 16), and SQL Server 2005 Express.
I installed the server with all the default settings and created a small database to handle customer information (a remake of some Access and Oracle databases I've made before).
I'm told, however, each time I try to connect to the database via VB, that SQL Server isn't accepting remote connections...
Remote? It's on a local computer. So is VB...what is going on here? Is there a setting I've missed?

Hi,
How do I insert data that I have collected in a local database onto a table on my online ie hosted database which is on a different server?
At the moment I am just uploading all the data to the hosted DB but this is wasting bandwith as only a small percentage of data is actually selected and used.
I thought that if i used a local DB and then update the table on my hosted DB this would be much more efficient, but I am not sure how to write the SQL code to do this!
Do I do some kind of
INSERT INTO sample_table
SELECT xxx
FROM origanal_table
Or is it more complicated than this?
Thanks

I decided to delete the encryption key.After that when I go to the reporting page, the report cannot connect to the datasource.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'xxxxx'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
What do I suppose to do?

I have a SQL Server 2005 database hosted by a provider that has about 500 databases on their site. I am running Access2007 on a Windows 7 Home Premium edition.
What I am trying to do is create a new Access2007 application and attach (i.e: Link) to the SQL Server tables. I am using SQL Authentication.
I have done this before where i attached via ODBC to Oracle, but it was on the corporate network - not on a hosted server. When i try to walk thru the Access process, it does not seem to let me give it the database name. I have the connection string i use in C# (for example: Data Source, Initial Catalog, UserID and Password), how to connect with Access2007.

Hello,
I am working on an ASP.NET apllication which will work with sensitve data that needs stored as encrypted. The ASP.NET application and SQL Server 2005 will be hosted outside of our company.
My questions are:
When I create a database master key, a certificate and a symetric key to encrypt and decrypt my data, will I be able to use these (master key, cert and symetric key) in other databases (say my local development SQL Server 2005 instance)?
Is a managed hosting a better solution to have total control over the the keys in the database?
Is there a white paper or guidance document for security in hosted databases?Thanks

Hello,
I would like to know whether is it possible to administer a database on a hosted site - i.e inserting some lines, executing a query. I normally access the files via ftp connection. And so far the only way I figured I can mess around with the database is to download it and change it on my desktop PC.
Thank You.

What is the best way to insert records into an SQL Server 2005 database that's being hosted with my website. The data will originate from customer sites as transactions. Do I connect to the hosted database using TCP/IP or do I create web pages that accept the data variables? This is all new to me!
I need this to happen unattended and 24/7/365
Thanks

Hi allWe have a small database that we host on our own local server. In order toget the information into the database I have a VB program that collates theinformation from a variety of sources and then over our local internalnetwork writes it to the database tables.This information is then made available over the internet using thecompanies broadband connection. In order to alleviate bandwidth issues weare looking at paying for someone else to host the database.What I am hoping to achieve is to keep the VB software, but during the nightupload the data to the remotely hosted SQL server using say a series ofupdate statements. Does anyone know if this is possible, and will SQL Serverlook after the integratory of the data. Is there any issues with therelatively low speed of then Internet as compared with a local networkenvironment. The amount of data we are looking at moving is very little,some where in the region of a few hundred records per night split over about10 tables.many thanksAndy

I'm not sure this is the exact forum in which to ask this question, so if there is a more appropriate forum, please point me in that direction.
Basically I'm looking for advice and best practices for dealing with an upgrade plan for a hosted database. Here is the situation:
- Hosted software application (.Net)
- Uses SQL Server 2005
- When we upgrade the software application to a new version, there will be schema and data changes that need to be applied to the database
- For the software application, we have considered upgrading an offline machine and then switching old one instantaneously.
- For the database, I'm trying to figure out if we can keep everything live for upgrades, or if we should have a small amount of scheduled downtime to upgrade.
So we have identified 2 basic directions:
1) Keep the database live and apply the new script changes just after the application software is upgraded. This means zero downtime, but we'd have to design and test our application to be backward compatible, so that the new version of the application code could handle both the new schema design, and the old schema design. It seems that this option would add a huge amount of complexity because we would essentially be testing a 3rd app/schema combination.
2) Take a small amount of scheduled downtime and upgrade the application code and database all at once.
Obviously option #2 is the most desirable from a development process point of view, and #1 is the most desirable option from a business point of view (zero downtime).
So, I'm looking for some advice on this. Do most people take the whole system down? Are there 100% live systems that deal with this? Are there other approaches I'm not considering?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

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?

I have a web app that uses two SQL Express databases. One of the databases is the membership database. I am deploying the app to a hosted environment. Here is my connection string:
<add name="Akamojo_APSNETDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress; AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|Akamojo_ASPNETDB.mdf; Initial Catalog=Akamojo_ASPNETDB; Integrated Security=true; User Instance=true"/>
Here is the error that I get:
Could not open new database 'Akamojo_ASPNETDB'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Cannot attach the file 'e:hostingmemberakamojoTournamentLogApp_DataAkamojo_ASPNETDB.mdf' as database 'Akamojo_ASPNETDB'.
File activation failure. The physical file name "c:inetpubwwwrootTournamentLogApp_DataAkamojo_ASPNETDB_log.LDF" may be incorrect.
The log cannot be rebuilt when the primary file is read-only.
The mdf file is not read only. In the hosted environment the database is on the E drive. In my dev environment the database is on the C drive. From the error message, it appears that when it tries to build the log file it is trying to build it on the C drive in a path that doesn't exist in the hosted environment.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
I hope someone can help with my current issue as i have now spent the last 8
hours trying to solve it! Here goes...
I am currently moving all my websites from our in house set up to a FASTHOSTS
dedicated server. Our in house set up consists of separate server for web
and data and works well even with my recent foray into .Net sites.
I have just moved the most recent of my .Net sites
(http://www.alfadealerads.co.uk/home.aspx) to the FASTHOSTS server and cannot
get the site to connect to the database (this has also been installed on the
FASTHOSTS server). One of the pages that connects to the DB is
http://www.alfadealerads.co.uk/links.aspx, where i am getting the error..
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database requested in login
'MasseratiChauffeurDrive'. Login fails.
Login failed for user 'lateral'.
This DB has been restored from back up from the original DB. I have
recreated the user name on the new SQL server and added it to the new DB
also. I am using a webconfig to connect to the DB, the exact same one
that works on my current live server
(http://www.maseratichauffeurdrive.com/home.aspx) only with the obvious change
to the SQL server name.
The only difference i can see in the 2 setups is that the new one has both the
webserver and the SQL server on the one machine and that machine uses domains.
My current in house setup does not use domains and as mentioned before web and
date are 2 separate servers.
Can anyone help? Or even understand what the hell i have written? lol
Thanks in advance

SQL server, by-mistake I updated values of a column in a database hosted online, is there any way undo the transaction. I didn't created any backup of the database. I read that still it can be recovered through the .ldf (log file) but unable to access it. Is there anyway to get access of the Log file or is there any way to recover the data.

Hi
I've been using the new features with ASP.Net 2 for some months now. I use the gridview control a lot with the sqldatasource. I recently started a new job and am having problems connecting a sqldatasource control to a sql server 7 database. At my old job we used sql server 2000.
I get the error: "SQL server version needs be 2000 or higher" when I try to set up a new connection.. I read some documentation that said you can use asp.net 2 datasource controls with sql server 7. Does anyone know how to get round this issue. I don't want to have to go back to 1.x methods of connecting data controls to databases using code.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a proprietary OLEDB data source that works alongside a SQL database. Both are pretty big. I am trying to find a fast way of copying the data from the OLE source into a table in the SQL database. I am working in ASP.NET, and the easiest way is to have 2 connections, open the OLEDB and fill a datatable, then go through the table line by line and do a parametized insert. That works but takes far too long.
I am looking for something along the lines of "SELECT INTO tblB FROM tblA", or even "INSERT INTO tblB SELECT * FROM tblA", anything that is faster than the above. Can you do this in SQL but accessing an OLEDB datasource?
Cheers,
Dave

"Short" Story Version:
I have a VS 2005 Web Appplication solution that uses SQL Server Reporting Services 2005. One of the projects is a Report Server Project. In this project I have an RDL file that has:
1.)a non-shared XML DataSource (no credentials),
2.)a DataSet with a Command Type of Text and a Query String that is as follows:
<Query>
<XmlData>
<Root>
<LOAD LOAD_ID_PREFIX="" LOAD_ID="" TRUCK="" DIAGRAM=""/>
</Root>
</XmlData>
</Query>
3.)a field that comes from the Database that is of VarBinary(Max) that is a JPEG Image
What happens is, is that by doing #2 above, at design time I can create tables and hook into my datasets and get the report all designed out the way I want. Then at runtime, I have a Stored Procedure that uses the "FOR XML AUTO" option so that I can represent my results from the database in an XML fashion which will allow me to replace the XML Schema in between the Root tags above (in #2) with my actual data (which still has the same schema). I then save the modified RDL to a database table field and move on to happily ever after......in this case, not. In this case, since an VarBinary is involved, unless I want to get a pointer back for the Diagram Column, I have to use the "FOR XML AUTO, BINARY BASE64" option. This returns an Encoded string to represent the Binary value that was in the Database....and this is the partial source of my angst....read on.
My approach that I described above worked flawlessly in all cases where an image wasn't involved. This report is the only report in the whole system I am working on that will have an image and it is the last one being done, so that's why I didn't run into this earlier.
I have tried all kinds of things at different levels, but the thing that I have tried that seemed to me to have the most potential was to use Embedded Code to take the Encoded ASCII Value and convert into something binary that the SSRS Reporting Engine likes (so my image will show), but I have been unsuccessful thus far. The error message I keep getting now from my Embedded Function is: "Invalid length for a Base-64 char array", which I have not been able to resolve thus far....and I do know that the Binary value in the database is good becuase I can see it in pages in my application otherwise.
This aside, is there anyone out there that knows how to take the value of a VarBinary(Max) field and insert it into the Text (XML) DataSet in the markup of an RDL file....and have it appear correctly when the report is rendered in something like the standard Report Viewer Control (or even when being previewed at design time inside of Visual Studio for that matter)?
Just to be clear, the root of my problem, as I see and understand it, is that I have a VarBinary value in a database that is being converted to a string (ASCII...I am presuming) due to how I am writing my stored procedure and then needs to go back to something else binary that the SSRS Engine will accept so that I can see my Image in the report when I render it.
I am wishful that someone out there understands my problem and has run into this and has a solution......but I am wishful of winning the lottery, too, and that hasn't happened yet...............
Thanks.

Hai,
I am using ADOX to create linked tables in a jet database from an ODBC datasource.
The tables in the ODBC data source does not have a primary key.
so I am only able to create read only linked tables.But I want to update the records also.
I tried adding a primary key column to the linked table while creating the link.
but I am getting an error while adding the table to the catalog.
The error message is "Invalid Argument".
I use the following code for creating the linked table
Sub CreateLinkedTable(ByVal strTargetDB As String, ByVal strProviderString As String, ByVal strSourceTbl As String, ByVal strLinkTblName As String)
Dim catDB As ADOX.Catalog
Dim tblLink As ADOX._Table
Dim ADOConnection As New ADODB.Connection
ADOConnection.Open("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=" & strTargetDB & ";User Id=admin;Password=;")
catDB = New ADOX.Catalog
catDB.ActiveConnection = ADOConnection
tblLink = New ADOX.Table
With tblLink
' Name the new Table and set its ParentCatalog property
' to the open Catalog to allow access to the Properties
' collection.
.Name = strLinkTblName
.ParentCatalog = catDB
' Set the properties to create the link.
Dim adoxPro As ADOX.Property
adoxPro = .Properties("Jet OLEDB:Create Link")
adoxPro.Value = True
adoxPro = .Properties("Jet OLEDB:Link Provider String")
adoxPro.Value = strProviderString
adoxPro = .Properties("Jet OLEDB:Remote Table Name")
adoxPro.Value = strSourceTbl
End With
'Adding primary key,
'***** the source column name is "Code" ******
tblLink.Keys.Append("PrimaryKey", ADOX.KeyTypeEnum.adKeyPrimary, "Code")
'Append the table to the Tables collection.
'******The exception occurs on the following line***********
catDB.Tables.Append(tblLink)
'Append the primary index to table.
catDB = Nothing
End Sub
If I avoid the line for adding the primary key,everything works fine,but the table ctreated is readonly.
Thanks in advance

I just added a 30MB SQL Server 2000 space for my site.
My host said that it only provides the space and nothing else. They will not be providing any means to connect to the database like Enterprise Manager 2000 or MS Client Network Utility. I'm not familiar with any of these and I looked at Microsoft's site to download it but I cannot find it.
Do you have any suggestions on how I go about setting up my hosted SQL Server? If those utilities are costly, are there cheaper/free alternatives?
Thanks.

Hi,I'm running Visual Web Developer 2005 and have created a small site with a log-in function. In VWD this automatically creates the database ASPNETDB.mdf which stores all the user / log-on data.I have 1 x MS SQL Server 2005 DB which I am using to store data for my site.Can anyone advise me on how to setup my site / the ASPNetDB so that it runs on my MS SQL Server?I've searched the ASP.NET forums etc and this does seem to be an area where people are struggling. I have tried running the ASP.NET SQL Server Registration Tool (Aspnet_regsql.exe) and get the following error:"Setup failed.Exception:An error occurred during the execution of the SQL file 'InstallCommon.sql'. The SQL error number is 8152 and the SqlException message is: String or binary data would be truncated."As a beginner I've struggled from downloading an online template, then uploading it to my site, and the log-on doesn't work. There didn't seem any instructions / advice on what to do with the ASPNETDB.mdf database.Help / advice would be much appreciated!Thanks,Tom

Im about to start a project that will be hosted by a third party web host. What is a common way to backup your database and have the backup saved ? The data may end up being several 100 MB of user settings, text etc (blog type stuff). If the DB gets to be several 100MB, then does making a backup and ftping it offsite sound reasonable ? Does ftp bandwidth usually count against your overall bandwidth usage ?
