I'm About To Go Back To 'Access'... Help Me
Feb 15, 2008
Hello all ASP'ers,
I'm very familiar with .net code and data access as it is what I do for a living. However, what I don't do a lot is make my own web project from scratch. All our DB connections are handled through a DB class that we instansiate and use, quite easy. BTW, we hit an Oracle DB and code in C# in VS 2008 Team Developer.
Here's my (simple I hope) dilemma.
I'm using VS2008, C#, SQL server database. I put a text box and a button on the front page (of my web page) for users to enter their email address for a newsletter. I created the DB by right-mouse-clicking on my project icon in the Solution Explorer, add new item, then selected SQLServer Database, it and saved it. It now appears in the Solution Explorer. I've added the table and columns I need but for the life of me I cannot connect to it. I've seen TONS of connection string examples but I need help getting the proper syntax for my situation
I have not created a user ID or a password for the database.
What do I put in for the DataSource and the database?
I dragged the database icon into my code and got the local path wher it resides:
C:FilesWebProjects2008WbProjApp_DataNews.mdf
Here is the most common connection string I see for SQL Server:
SqlConnection Conn = new SqlConnection(" +
"Data Source=Your server name;" + <------ What goes here?
"database=Your Database Name;" + <------ What goes here?
"UID=UserID of the server;" + <------ Can I get rid of this?
"PWD=password of the server;"); <------ Can I get rid of this?
I've done a different project using an Access DB and have that guy up on the web working great, I just can't get htis one connected and the data a' flowin'.
Please help, this is my personal website and I want to use SQL Server but I'm getting frustrated and just might go back to Access, aaaaggghhhhhhh...
Once I get past the Conn.Open(); in a try/catch I'll be good. I've got the rest of the data commands in place and ready to go.
Here is a link to a visual to help you see what I'm doing, it's just a shot of my solution explorer.

I am trying to set up an Access db to connect to a SQL server back end. I created a system DSN and then linked the Access db to it; no problem when the Access db is local.
When I upload the Access db to the website, it refuses to connect; I keep getting this error message:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] ODBC--connection to 'SQS2008' failed.
Here is the ASP code in the web page (pretty plain vanilla):
DIM Connect2
SET Connect2=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.CONNECTION")
DSNTemp="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; "
DSNTemp = DSNTemp & "DBQ=" & server.mappath("yetanothertest.mdb")
connect2.Open DSNTemp
SET onwash2=Connect2.Execute("SELECT * FROM LineStandardPolicies")
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,
I'm a MS Access developer who needs to help someone migrate/convert from a 'finished' SQL application to Access. How do I gain access to the SQL backend so I can examine/export the raw data? For example, in Access, I would hold down the Shift key while opening the program and it would give me editing rights to the database.
Please be very specific because I have zero experience with SQL.
Thanks,
David

I Have read a few of the postings and I hate to beat a dead horse. But I am desperatly looking for your Help...
I am converting all of my Access Databases over to SQL server 2005. but the catch is that I need to keep Access as my front-end. One of the problems that I have faced (and there maybe more) but when it comes to running queries (especially Delete), I cannot seem to get things to work.
I would like to just store all of my data in SS2K5 and have all of my queries and forms run in Access.
Why is it that I am getting errors that do not seem to make sense (Access Error 3086) when I have opened up all of the permissions associated to my database?
Please let me know if anyone has any type of solution, or some place that I can go to that will help me understand this a little more.
my query is pretty simple.
DELETE Opsec_View.*
FROM Opsec_View;

Dear Friends,
We have MS Access database with Forms and Reports, which was started 10 years ago by users and now the data is growing very rapidly.
Did anyone tried by having MS Access as front end and SQL Server 2000/2005 as backend with minimum modifications to the forms and reports in MS Access?
Please let me know, your ideas and if there are any links in the web or in Microsoft please provide here.
Thanks in advance,

I have a back-end front-end application in MS Access. Instead of using MS Access queries it gets data via recordsets generated from SQL scripts in VBA routines.
I'm planning to upgrade it to use SQL Server as the back-end. However I need to retain the alternative option of using a file based back-end. (It currently has the capacity to be switched between alternative Access .mdb back-end files.) Is there any information available on how to do this and on how to get Access to synchronize between SQL Server and SQL Server CE back-ends? (Eventually the application will be migrated to VB.NET, but that is a long way down the track.)

Hi,
I'm not sure if this question should be in this thread but anyway...
I have a form (Mricosoft Access front end) in which the user enter a Pending Date in one of the fields. The date is populated into my backend (SQL Server) withouht problems.
Whenever the issue which had the pending date in the field is resolved I'd like to delete this date from this field and also from the back end. At the moment I'm not being able to pass the "value" Null to my back end (probably because it's a datetime type). I've searched the net throughout and I couldn't find a way around it. Only found solution to when the data is not date but numbers/letters, etc... Any ideas on how can I sort this out?
Many thanks
Emanuel

I know its a weird request, but we have created an application with sql server but our client wants a version which can be put onto disk.
We decided to create the stored procedures into queries, would this be the best idea and if so does anyone know if there is a freeware software that can do this or will I have to painstakingly re-create the queries?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi all :
I hope this is an easy one for some of you - this is the scenario :
1) I have an Access Application that has been upsized to SQL
2) We are now replicating it with a second office
3) When we started doing the Merge Replication, the ROWGUID was added to each table
4) When we attempt to add a new record to the table, it allows us to add 3 fields, then the record 'jumps' to the indexed location of the ROWGUID
5) The 'jump' is undesirable as we then have to resort the table by key and finish its input.
5) We have our own primary identity field that SQL seems to be ignoring.
Any help would be really great

Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick

New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?

Does anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005
databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without
resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database
to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I
want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having
several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day
operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include
night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a
biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance
with the daily activities when the night time processing isn€™t completed on
time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I
don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if
that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also,
it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring
on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our
application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a
night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data
Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most
of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes
stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening
the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the
database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended
state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended
state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I
did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put
in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended
state. I am also not happy with the
fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively
running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU
usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would
show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would
then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the
query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same
situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun.
All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very
suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of
the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and
they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of
years before I upgrade to SS 2005.

Hi all,
We need to restore a back up of database from one machine to another machine. The sql server's are running separately on two of the machines.
We rebuilt the MASTER database on the machine which needs to be restored as there was a conflict in the LOCALE and SORT ORDER.
We rebuilt the Master using the RebuiltM.exe
After that we successfully restored the database. AS BOL suggessted that MSDB and Model had to be restored, thosee two were also done.
But we are not able to see all LOGINS / USERS that were there in the original database.
Are we missing anything that will show up all the users once we restore database from the dump.
Help.
