Change SQL Express Table Question!

Apr 3, 2007

Hi all

I have a problem with a user who had a sql express db on a laptop, basically they have a column(street) in a table(houses) which needs its length changing from Varchar(10) to a varchar(15).

Does anyone know how to do this via a script of some kind, the msde DB does not have query analyser but can you do it via the comand prompt?

Cheers in advance!

Gopher

ps: I have a similar post in the SQL 200 Admin forum!

How To Change From SQL Server Express To Database.mdf Connection

Apr 29, 2006

Hi,

I've created a SQL Server Express Database that is used by an ASP.NET 2.0 application (developed using VWD Express).

I would like to be able to:

Make changes to stored procedures, views and table structures while developing/testing ASP.NET application - which, ideally, needs a SQL Server Manager Studio Express connection and
Upload my application and data to a database on a network - which, ideally, needs a direct Database.mdf connection.

I know that I need to change my connection string - and am able to achieve that with ease - but I'm not sure what the best way of switching between the two ways of attaching on the database side. I keep getting logon type problems etc.

Thanks very much.

Regards

Gary

Gridview Delete Behavior Change From Beta2 In VWD Express

Nov 12, 2005

I've not been able to test this yet in full VS2005 (MS is screwed up with orders for some reason. Has anyone heard this one. All orders for less than quantity=5 were being rejected). So, instead of waiting for it I installed VWD Express. Now, the project had been built in VWD express beta 2, so no big change there.Several gridview controls in the project had <Delete> enabled. Just <Delete> mind you. Nothing else for command buttons. They all worked fine with delete queries that use gridview.selectedvalue as the parameter. Every single one stopped working since I've converted from beta 2 to RTM!Here's what I determined. The delete will only work if the row in the grid is selected first!. Otherwise <selectedvalue> is null when you click on <Delete>.Is this a bug or what?I'd be happy to supply more details. I am certain others will report this, but I have yet to find a post here or in any blogs out there that reproduce this problem in the RTM of .NET 2.0

ASP Authentication With SQL Server 2005 - Not Express, Permanent Change

May 8, 2006

Hi all,
I've read up on the fact that if you use SQL server 2005 instead of SQL express you need to change the connection string in web.config.
Is there anyway to make this default connection type, or do I have to do it for every website I create. i.e. is there a global file that this connection can be entered into. Then whenever I start a new website I don't have to put the string in.
Just me being lazy really. But it's nice to know if it's possible.
 
Many thanks

Cannot Change Server Authentication In Management Studio Express

Jul 18, 2006

I use the Mangement Studio Express to manage a MSDE 2000 instance and notice that the Server authentication area in the Security is disabled for that instance. But for an Express instance, the Server authentication area is enabled. Is this difference caused by some settings?

I Can't Change My Sql Login User's Password In SQL Server 2005 Express

Jan 13, 2006

SQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose.  I would check the properties on the login I want to change.  Then I change the password and it gets accepted.  When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>".  I look at the properties again and see my password never change.  Is this a bug?  I ever tried this syntax to no avail:

CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF

Change Table Owner To Dbo?

We set up a few tables while being logged in as a different user. Now, those tables are not accessible via some ASP pages because they aren't DBO-owned tables. Relationships do exist on these tables, but no significant data. Is there a way to change the owner, or do I need to delete the table and start over?

Add A Table For Values That Will Never Change?

Feb 3, 2015

What the right table setup is when you have a table with values that will never change.

I'm building a small project for our sales team so they can track their leads & customers. I have a table called "Contacts", which contains the names of every prospect they've ever reached out to. In that table is a field called "ContactTypeId", which is a reference to a table called "ContactTypes".

My ContactTypes table looks like this:

ContactTypeId | Name | Description
----------------------------------------------
1 | Lead | A contact who has shown interest in our service
2 | Qualified Lead | A more deeply engaged, sales-ready contact
3 | Customer | A contact paying for our services

So, I set it up this way because I figured it was cleaner to associate a ContactTypeID# to each Contact in the Contacts table, rather than actually spelling out "Lead", "Customer", etc for each record in the Contacts table.

But is this right? If these values in my ContactTypes table are NEVER going to change, should I still have this table at all or is it better to just insert "Lead", "Qualified Lead", or "Customer" into the Contacts table? Just looking to take the correct approach.
