Hosted SQL Server: Where To Start?
Dec 17, 2004
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.

I need to find out how to add roles to my SQL that is on a hosted server.I have created 2 roles, but after publishing and uploading my site, when I try and create a user, I get the error:"Exception Details: System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: The role 'userAtype' was not found."There are two other roles that the same happens with.Running it locally all was fine, I just didn't seem to get this info where it needs to be when I uploaded it.I'm new to messing about with SQL, so sorry if this is really elementary.I have VS2005 Standard, and the SQL Server Management Studio Express.The hosting provider I have does not allow remote connections to the DB on shared hosting, so I need to (?) generate a script to populate the DB? and run it in their browser-based Querry Window?How would I do this?Thanks.

Hi there,
We've got an mssql database hosted on our fasthosts account, however I don't have any applications to access this. When using MySQL databases I use the MySQL control centre available on the MySQL website.
Are there any similar applications available (and if possible free!) that do a similar job for mssql.
Thanks for your help guys!

I am using a virtual dedicated server to host sqlexpress at a remote site. I can't get the connection from MS SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect over the Internet. I only have the box IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and have tried various forms of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxsqlexpress as the server name.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks, John

I have been happily using RS (SQL200) on one of our local servers for some time. However, we have SQL2000 installed on a hosted, managed remote server for some applications we provide.
We need to report on the data so the obvious decision was to get RS installed on the remote machine so I could design and deploy the necessary reports from here to RS on the hosted server.
However, for various reasons (that I do not fully understand) the default install of RS does not work on the remote server and the hsoiting company won't install it in anything other than it's default dormat. So our original plan seems to be stuffed.
What are options here? It was suggested that we could 'replicate' the hosed server data to my 'local' SQL server but that seems to have hit a brick wall too.
What would I need to do to report using the 'local' RS against the 'remote' data - is this possible?

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?

I am asking about a virtual IP for SQL Server, is there a way we can assign a different IP to SQL Server other than the server's(host) IP address? like the same what we do in a clustered env.

Sorry if this is elementary, but I have searched and cannot find an answer.
I have a backup file of a sql server 2000 database. I want to restore it to a remote hosted sql server 2005.
Using sql server management studio, it seems to me that I cannot access the files stored local on my computer.
Does anybody have a solution?
What is the best way to deploy my backup file to the remote server?
Thanks for any suggestions!

I have several hosted websites using MS SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 set up as DotNetNuke portals. I need to do a minor patch in a stored procedure to fix buggy functionality in one module. I have the patch, but what do I need to install on my local machine in order to edit the stored procedures on the hosted database?
The hosting company's support said to install SQL Server Management Services (SSMSEE.msi), but the install fails giving a link to a pre-requisite component called ADOMD.msi. That one seems to install okay, but I still get the same error when trying to install the Management program.
Perhaps I need SQL Server Express on my local machine? I'm really just looking for the best way to access and edit stored procedures on my hosted database?
I would REALLY appreciate a nudge in the right direction...?
Thanks.

Is there any way to backup a remote SQL Server that is on a hosted account to a local drive? We have a web hosted account that has a SQL Server that we do not have full admin rights on, just dbo access to the data and structure. We would like to be able to do backups and restores to our local development server if possible. Perhaps vis DTS or some similar means? WE cannot use the normal backup/restore as we do not have right to these fucntions nor can we access the servers local drives directly.

Although clearly not best practice for a produciton DB, is it supported to attach MDF/LDF files that are hosted on a network drive?
I have been exploring options to host a read only archive database that we need to access on a very short term adhoc basis.

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'm building a hosted website and I am using SQL 2005.
The DBA for the host has told me that i can not encrypt a symmetric key with a certificate, when using that symmetric key for encryption. As i read that this method provided optimum performance/ security for encrypting columns of data.
The DBA told me i can use a cert or a symmetric key for encryption.
I have searched for comparisons and found a blog entry by Laurentiu Cristofor comparing certs with asymmetric keys. Which leads me to believe that certs and asymm are very different than symmetric keys.
My question is which is the best choice in a hosted environment for column encryption, a cert or symmetric key.
Which is more secure? Does one offer a significant performance (dis)advantage?
TIA

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

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 ?

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.

Folks.
I just moved my domain to GoDaddy.com. When I run my website locally, everything works fine.
When I ftp it to my server space on GoDaddy.com, I get a "remote connection" error. Does anyone have an example of a connection string I should be using to connect while on the server?
Thanks!

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.

I have written a intranet page that writes some info into a sql database, basically following the 'SQL Server 2005 Express for Beginners' video.When I debug the application from within 'Visual Web Develop 2005 express' it works fine entries are entered into the DB and I can then edit the db using the admin page.But when I host the site using IIS I doesn't work, submissions to the database seem to fail I can see the DB in the admin page but if I try to edit them or delete them it fails. What could I doing wrong could I be missing a setting in IIS? Any ideas??Here's my webconfig if that helps at all: <?xml version="1.0"?><configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"> <connectionStrings> <add name="studentprofilesConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|studentprofiles.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> <system.web> <roleManager defaultProvider="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" /> <compilation debug="true" defaultLanguage="c#" /></system.web></configuration>

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.

I am using (and making some enhancements to) the auto-generated ASPNETDB database in Visual Studio 2005. Now, I would like to deploy the application I have built (together with the data it contains and uses) to my ISP's ASP.NET 2.0 server and my freshly-purchased MS SQL database.
I haven't a clue how to do the above. Some other posts mention Entreprise Manager and Data Transformation Tools, but I really don't know where to start. I wonder if someone would be kind enough to go through each step in detail? Don't worry about sounding condescending... I really am a novice!
I apologise for the naivety of this message...!
Any and all help hugely appreciated!
