The web site I'm working on will allow admin users to create a new database for each new client. I'm hoping to be able to keep all of the databases in the local App_Data folder, but I'm finding that I can't even find a way of generating a list of the databases in the App_Data folder.
The code I have is:Dim serverConn As New ServerConnection(".SQLEXPRESS")
serverConn.LoginSecure = True
serverConn.ConnectTimeout = 30
serverConn.Connect()
Dim sqlServer As Server = New Server(serverConn)
For Each db As Database In sqlServer.Databases
ListView1.Items.Add(db.Name)
NextThis does populate a list of databases, but not the ones in the App_Data folder - just those attached directly to the server.Any help on this will be greatly appreciated as it's starting to drive me nuts!Thanks,Paul
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message "cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again." After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message. So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
Greetings, Salutations, and Howdy I'm using VWD on the local box and WS 2003/SQL Express on the remote box. The first time I upload the site, the upload works great. Later after uploading updates, new pages, etc. the upload still works great. BUT.....when I try to upload anything in the App_Data folder, I get a copy error, access denied. On a pre-existing site with App_Data ....How do you upload the App_Data folder or it's contents to the remote server? Thanks^2
HI, I found that we can keep .mdf file in App_Data folder and use the same database in our application. so my questions are . 1.the database which is kept in app_code will work only with Sql Server Express Edition. 2.what will be my connection string in web.config. If any one can help out that will be appreciate and put some more light about using the data base in this way. or any article link will also appreciated.
I'd be interested to know what the recommended methods are of implementing a SQL database using VS2005 standard and SQLExpress. I previously used VS2003 and MSDE which allowed me to create a .sql script to create and populate a database. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it now appears that in VS2005 the preferred way of doing this is to create a SQLExpress database in the App_Data folder. This is fine, except that I can't seem to connect to this 'detached' database using SQLCMD when I need to run my .sql scripts to create the tables. When I used MSDE, I used a command similar to the following: osql -E -S(local)etsdk -dMyDatabase Which connected to the 'MyDatabase' database. Now, with VS2005, if I create MyDatabase.mdf in the App_Data folder how would I connect to it using SQLCMD? I've tried: sqlcmd -E -S(local)SQLEXPRESS -dMyDatabase.mdf but this just tries to open a database in the SSQL.1MSSQLData folder. I guess I'd like to store the database in the App_Data folder as it keeps everything together and will be easier when deploying a site to a remote host. Thanks,Wayne.
Hi, I have developed an application on the Intranet, but what I have done is dealing with the database directly using MS SQL Server 2005 server. But I have seen some people or videos where they create the database on "App_Data" folder. I am going to develop online application on Internet this time, I should develop it offline on my machine. So, I have 2 questions foe now: 1) What is the right way to create MSSQL 2005 database? in "App_Data" or in MSSQL 2005 server? 2) When creating database in "App_Data" folder, is it going to be created automatically or shown on my MSSQL 2005 server? Thanks,
I have a vb.net 2005 application and i created a SQL Server 2005 db inside my App_Data folder and I need to know how to connect to this database so that I can query it from my vb code. thanks

On my VWD 2005 Express, I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express databases in the App_Data folder.I kind of remember these 2 databases were installed from Wrox web site or a zip file. Now we still useSQL Server 2000 databases for our ASP.net applications. I have downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express.These 2 databases in the App_Data folder seem to work fine although I can not see them from theManagement Studio Express. My question is: How do I 'manually' create a new SQL Server 2005 database into the App_Data folder? TIA,Jeffrey
I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC that has SQL Server Express (SSE) and Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) programs. The Microsoft "pubs" Database is installed in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). I created a website in my VWDE program. I need the .mdf file of the pubs Database in the App_Data folder of website of my VWDE project. I think that User Instance in my SSE is established. I have studied Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) and User Instance for a quite a while and I still do not know where and how to use Xcopy to get the mdf file of the pubs database into the App_Data folder of the website of my VWDE project. Please help and give me the detailed key steps/instructions about where and how to get the .mdf file of the pubs database into the App_Data folder of the website of my VWDE project via Xcopy.
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
I've started with the development of a website which will use a sql server 2005 database. I want to use the asp.net membership and roles functionality. In the end the website will be hosted by a hosting company. What is the best way to store the database? In the App_data folder or outstide the App_data folder? Second, do hosting companies support placing sql server databases stored into the App_data folder?
Hi all, I have built a Disaster Recovery Site for my DB.on periodic basis, trn files from production server reach DR server and DR setup will apply them locally.
If the flow is smooth then no issues, if one of the file does not reach DR the entire setup will halt for the want of the file and I dn't have any means to know which file is missing.
Both my production and DR site located remotely behind firewalls, i.e i can't physically access the servers or remotely login to the server.

Hi, newbie to sql2005. I am trying to write a VB.NET program to list all ssis packages we have stored in a file folder (not in MSDB) where both SqlServer and ssis servers are located. These packages currently running on daily basis by automated jobs with no problem.
I have found the following link on the web that includes VB.Net program. If you scroll down under Example (SSIS Package Store) , you'll see a VB.NET program that I am trying to get it to work for me but keep getting error message like "Cannot find folder......"
My goal is to: 1. List all ssis packages stored in the file systems (.dstx) 2. List DB source and distination providers(tables in/out) in a ssis package 3. List properties for DB providers 4. List FlatFile & Excel file provider properties in a ssis package. My assumption, but not sure, is that I may need to register this file folder (where packages are located) to the SqlServer if that is not done already. Any command or sys table in Sql2005 to figure this out?
I would appreciate any help on this in advance. Thank You.
Can I change the folder that the databases reside in for my installation of SQL Server? I would like to have them in a folder on another drive, but I can't seem to find where the path is configured.Any help is appreciated.
I have set up a Database Maintenance Plan that does a nightly backup of all of my databases (about 12 of them) to a network folder. The plan works for about 95% of the job, but most nights there will be at least 1 database which will fail with the following error... BackupDiskFile::RequestDurableMedia: failure on backup device '\myfileserverBackupSQLDatabaseDatabaseNameD atabaseName_db_200610081749.BAK'. Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.). I know that this is not a permission or storage problem, because it works for most of the job. And a database that fails one night, may work fine the next night only to have a DIFFERENT database fail that night, and sometimes all databases work 100%.
Is there a way to fix this problem? And if not, is there a way to be notified of which specific database in the maintenance plan is failing. The message on the job itsself is very non-descriptive and I have to manually search the logs to find out which databases were successful & which where not. It is very time consuming. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I've added an SqlDataSource control to my web page and selected "Configure Data Source" on it. This brings up a "Choose Your Data Connection" wizard, and it asks you to select from a dropdown list of presumably pre-existing connection strings in my web.config file. However none of my connection strings will display in that dropdown list. The only thing i can do is hit the "Create New Connection" button and this adds yet another connection string to my web.config file. I've already ran through the wizard once, created a new connection string, but when i run through the wizard again, even the new connection string - the one created by the last wizard will not appear in the dropdown list. Any suggestions? Jason
I would like to display different addresses in the same list:

I tried to use alias on the second datasets and it did not work okay.
What is the best approach to handle this situation? I have three different databases, which has it's own stored procedure. I need to call them all at page load and piece together the data. The common demoninator is the date.

2006 JAN FEB MAR APR
row 1 60 90 65 41
row2 984 650 452 762 Row 1 and Row 2 come from two different databases and stored procedures. How can I query the data and present it as it's shown above? Thank you!

When you use sql 2005 management studio to connect to a sql 2005 server, you can deny view on any database and one user will not be able to see any database that he/she does not own.
However, what about if this person uses sql 2005 management studio to connect to a sql 2000 server. Since sql 2005 management studio does not call the store procedure sp_MSdbuseraccess, it will display all the database in the server.
It does not seem like I can use "deny view on any database to username" on a sql 2000 server.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do in order to not show all the database when I use sql 2005 management studio to connect to a sql 2000 server box?
