I am a newbie with SQL Server and need some advice. I have developed a small database with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express on my local computer. I am using it in conjunction with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Now I want to upload it to an online web host. What is the best way to upload? Do I use replication or some other means? Can I do so with Management Studio Express? My web host has an administration Console which does not seem to work with the database, and their support service is very slow. So I do not know what to do.
for example : there is a bitmap file in my harddisk "c:a.bmp". How can I upload it to the db with the field "image" via mssql command, my DB is mssql database.
i have a MSSQL 2000 database with about 30 tables in it. On one of those tables i've defined an full text index on an image field. In this table are around 500 records with binary files.
it functioned well for a time but now when i try to upload a file into the table this goes extremely slow (300 KB takes over 3 minutes).
i tried disabling "change tracking" but this didn't help a thing
adding blobs to other tables (without fulltext index on it) still goes fast.
what could be a reason that the uploading goes so slow??
i was planning to create a database migration tool .. its a certain database of a DMS (document management system) to another DMS (two different DMS)... from DMS using msde 2000 server .. and tranfer to a DMS using a postgre sql or mssql .. depends ..
they have different table structures and names . . :D
i was thing of what language shall i use.. or what language is the best to work on this kind of project :)
I am rewritting our DTS that upload tables in FoxPro to SQL Server using SSIS. I am finding the that SSIS is way slower. My uploads using DTS take just 7 minutes where doing the same thing in SSIS is taking 1 hour 15 minutes.
I created a website a year ago. I remember I need to download something from Microsoft (some kind of sql admin thing), which allows me to convert my database in the Express Visual Web developer to sql file, then I can copy those sql commands into my web hosting company's sql admin window to upload the database online. I forgot what things I should download from Microsoft? Please help.
Okay, I am still really new at this so nobody laugh if this seems simple stupid. I created a little web page and while working on the project created a new database by right clicking on my app and clicking "Add New item" then choosing SQL Database. I added tables and everything was working just dandy on my machine. I FTP'd the files up to my web server and am now getting an error. SQL is installed on the server, but I have a couple of questions.1. Does SQL have to be installed on the server if you create one of these databases by doing the Add New Item button?2. After Uploading it to a server with SQL installed, the database shows in my App Data folder, but gives me an error. What needs done to move this database to the server besides uploading it?Here is my 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)
Downloaded and installed MSDE and just finished creating a website using the Community Starter Kit. I'm used to working with Access Databases and this is my first experience with anything SQL. Can someone provide my with some guidance as to what I need to do to upload the MSDE Database to a server. Can I just upload the files like an Access Database or is this more involved. Thanks for you help.
Can anyone correct my code?I will like to add a url to my database and upload my image to web server.txtAddTitle will become my title nametxtFileName allow user to type in image name that will upload to webserver and at the meantime will insert into database as url referencesvalue for @chapterid will get from drop down list(ddlLesson) and the index value will store in database. now i am able to upload my images with the file name that i have given to web server, but I am unable to insert data to my database.

I am creating a update, delete, edit form for my web database. The form works in everyway except that when I try to upload the image to the database it does not go into the database. (I know the pros and cons of storing images in a database. In this instance it is what makes the most since. ) I have to admit I have never uploaded anything to my server or database before (other than plain text). I have read through several articles and have a high level of understanding. I found an example on a website that used the OnInserting/OnUpdating command. But it is not working. I tried to find another similar example so that I could better understand it and try to fix what must be wrong. I can't find a similar example. I am posting the code I have below. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi, how are you! I'm a beginner of database. I have some really "novice" questions here. Currently I'm trying to upload my database to a share windows host server. I have problems uploading my database files. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005 express version. I was told that in order to upload my database, I need to have.bak file of my database. The problems are: 1. under my visual studio server explorer, it seems I have two databases, one is ASPNETDB.MDF, another one is (mycomputername)sqlexpress.(databasename).dbo. I dont know from which one I can create the .bak file, and how? 2. I can not find where the phsyical location of my files (such as tables or stored procedures) from my (mycomputername)sqlexpress.(databasename).dbo database. Anyone can help? thank you!

Hi guys,I'm currently trying to insert image into my SQL db. I have tried a number of methods that were posted online, and so far with no luck.My current code reads: Dim conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection() conn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MainDBConnection").ToString conn.Open() Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SP_SAVEImage", conn) cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim nUserID As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@nUserID", Data.SqlDbType.Int) nUserID.Value = "1" Dim nAlbumID As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@nAlbumID", Data.SqlDbType.Int) nAlbumID.Value = "1" Dim sDescription As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sDescription", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sDescription.Value = "image1" Dim sImageName As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageName", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sImageName.Value = sImageName Dim sImageType As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageType", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sImageType.Value = fileType Dim sImageData As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageData", Data.SqlDbType.Image, uploadedFile.Length) sImageData.Value = uploadedFile cmd.Parameters.Add(nUserID) cmd.Parameters.Add(nAlbumID) cmd.Parameters.Add(sDescription) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageName) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageType) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageData) Dim reader1 As Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader reader1 = cmd.ExecuteReaderRunning through debug, everything runs up until the last line, where an error is caught saying : Failed to convert parameter value from a SqlParameter to a String I reckon it's to do with the input sImageData being input as a byte array - but I can't seem to find a way around it. Any help greatly appreciated!!

I've got a simple yet concerning problem. How do I get the MSDE database I've created off my PC and onto the web server? I've thought of doing a "BACKUP DATABASE dbname TO DISK = 'blah,blah'", then upload it and hope I have permissions to execute a DATABASE RESTORE... Any other methods?

I have a database on my local system and I use Sql Server 2005 express. Now I need to upload the database in the hosting server. I have tried Management Studio Express.
I am using FileUpload method in tools box and i want to store the uploaded image into database. but when debuging it will shows an error like: Operand type clash: sql_variant is incompatible with image this is the code for "upload" button.Protected Sub uploadbtn_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles uploadbtn.Click If FileUpload1.HasFile Then TryFileUpload1.SaveAs("C: emp" & FileUpload1.FileName) Label1.Text = "File name: " & FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName & "<br>" & "File Size: " & FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength & "kb<br>" & "Content Type: " & FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentTypeCatch ex As Exception Label1.Text = "ERROR: " & ex.Message.ToString End Try Else Label1.Text = "You have not specified a file" End If Try SqlDataSource1.Insert() Label2.Text = "picture is saved"Catch ex As Exception Label2.Text = ex.Message.ToString End Try End Sub
how do i upload and download images and files from database row?is there anyway i can upload images so that uploaded images ares saved in a listbox and at the same time in the IMAGES folderin the solution explorer as well so that i can later select an image fromlistbox and download it when needed? i m using c#,vwd2005 express,sql express.
I am using the image datatype to upload files onto SQL SErver 2000. My problem is that it seems as though the database is only accepting files of size 65Kb or less. What is the best way of resolving this problem?
I am an ASP.NET 2.0/SQL 2005 web developer, and I have run into a huge frustration for some time now that I can't seem to get past. My goal is to develop SQL databases for my costomers on my development machine, and then upload the completed database out to my host. I have not found a host that allows this yet. Some hosts do not allow remote SQL connections altogether, and the best hosts I have been able to find allow remote SQL connections, but do not allow SSIS or DTS packages to run to transfer database objects to the production server.
What does this mean? Well, I have to manually transfer or recreate individual stored procedures and recreate primary, foreign, and other table constraints. I cannot just run a DTS package to transfer the completed objects. So this means duplicating effort, changes for mistakes, and more server downtime during site upgrades. I have called so many host providers, and I haven't found one that can get me past this.
Also, I contacted Microsoft to ask about Licensing (thinking I would just lease a dedicated server), and the only option I can use is SPLA licensing. The catch, I have to lease the OS through SPLA as well, and all the hosts I have contacted put the OS on the server themselves. This means I would be paying for the OS twice.
Ideally, I would just love to find a shared web host package that I could use efficiently with my SQL development. Am I missing something? If anyone has any advice, please help! I would be so appreciative!!! Thanks.
I'm a newbie. I have googled many web sites,but i can't find the help that how to upload or store files(include images) into a database with Asp.Net 2.0. Although i have found few samples about storing images into database,but the sample applied with Asp.Net 1.0 or 1.1 technology... In microsoft MSDN,i found the help about FileUpload control,but the sample is about how to upload files to servers's folder with saveas() method. Who can help me ?Give me a refer sample about upload files to database with Asp.Net 2.0. Is it need to use stream or what other method? By the way, i want make a document managment system with vwd and sql express. Thank u very much if u can give me a help.
My hosting gives me ASP.NET 2.0 and a shared SQL Server 2005 package. I have Visual Studio 2005 on my machine - which installs SQL Server 2005 Express. I have also installed SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express. I wish to develop my database locally (mdf file) as I won't always have internet access (and therefore can't always work directly with the remote shared database). My question is, how do I upload my database info from my local machine to my remote shared database? Also I shall wish to download my remote database to my local machine in order to work on the database (and then be able to re-upload it) sometimes. Please can somebody tell me how I can do this? Will SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express permit me to do this and if so how? If I need the full version of SQL Server 2005 Management Studio then I do have SQL Server 2005 and this install with it (but it all looks a bit complicated to install for me). Many thanks for all help given, Graham
