Keeping Live Server And Development Server In Sync
Aug 17, 2007
Hi,
Im fairly new to this so apologies if Ive put this in the wrong place.
I have just rented out server for a new asp.net site. Ive been developing the site on my local machine and the database in Sql Enterprise. Ive recently put a copy of the site on the live server and got everything configured.
However everytime I make a change to my local database, or add values into my look up tables I have to go do the same on the live server and its proving a bit of a pain in the ass, so Im guessing there has got to be a much smarter way of doing this. I dont want (if possible) to open up the live sql server to allow remote connections, but if thats what neccesary so be it.
So my question is basically what are my options for keeping my live server up to date with my development server. As I add new features on my local server, should i be saving sql scripts of all the changes I make?
All opinions much appreciated.

Please can anybody help me in transferring existing SSIS Packages saved in a shared folder location from development server 2ED to Live server TWD1.
Both has SQL server 2005 running and has visual studio 2005
Currently about 25 SSIS packages are executed from the development server transferring data on Live server TWD1...these ETL process is called from development server but executed on live server.
Now the problem is when i call these packages from the shared folder from live server it crashes.....i need to changes something to shift the whole package to the live server..and execute on live server itself instead of recreating the whole 25 process from scratch.....also i use optimize for many tables ..and run in a single trancastion....so how can i see the mappings of source and destination tables.
Please let me know the process how i can achieve this.
Thanks
George

This may not be a MSSQL-specific question, butI wanted to ask it here first, in case there'sa MSSQL and/or SourceSafe solution that will help.Our dev team is having some difficulty withkeeping the nightly builds in sync with thestored proc mods. I'm wondering if there aresome good case studies on how to avoid this"drift". Something like genning a new DB fromchecked-in SPs, etc. alongside each regular build,then always have a paired enterprise app/databaseduo that is tagged and added to a history.FWIW, we have a 3-tier .NET/C# app, andADO.NET is throwing exceptions every otherday.If the suggestion is to whip the DB guys, thatworks for me as well. ;-)Nah, there's much love there.Thanks in advance,~swooz

Last night we had a problem caused by a stored proc being deployed to only one server rather than two. I want a way to ensure that we can automatically run on a schedule a check to ensure that the 2 procs on 2 servers are the same.
I need a less robust solution that I implement tomorrow that doesn't involve buying third party tools and a more robust long term strategy that could if need make use of third party tools.

Hello,
I have my local development evrioment and my live webserver in colo. The two different machinces both have SQL2005 and copies of roughly the same database. I use the one for developement and the other obviously for production. Currently I read in different connection strings from my web.config file for my live version v my development version so I can have different database names and connection strings.
I'm looking at moving to LINQ, but I can't figure out how I'd achive an equivelent flexibility as database names and connection strings seem to be hardcoded in to the class using it's designer. Obviously if modifing this wasn't possible, nobody would be using LINQ, so how do I work around this?
Thanks,

I have a problem in that I have a live SQL 7.0 server as a back end to a web server for a large company in Germany and of course we also have a development server locally which is more or less the same apart from data. The ASP developers here want to upload some data to the live server and also download live data from the live server so that we have more or less the same data on both systems.
I have thought about doing this with DTS adn writing SQL scripts to merge the tables and then upload back to the live server etc. but before I do I wondered if anyone had experience of doing this before (I am sure) and could either tell me what are the best methods or package to do or point me or mail me an article that covers this sort of thing.
Of course extreme paranioa creeps in at the thought of copying down large tables from the live server etc. etc. so if anyone can help - great!

can anyone tell me if they know of a way to automate the update process from development servers to live server, with little interference from an administrator
I have a development team that are constantly updating their databases along with their ASP code, and want to publish changes an a weekly basis. They have asked me for a way to take their new structures, tables, procedures etc, and copy them to the live servers, but NOT to interfere with existing customer data.
Funny I know and I hate the idea btw :(
Any references, contacts, 3rd party tool recommendations welcome,
Thanx,
Darren

we are using ASMCD to sync our cubes from a Cubebuild Server to a Reporting Server. We migrated some days ago from 2012 to 2014. We are also using rel. Engine with StoredProcs for calling and executing xp_cmdshell for the Ascmd.Actually all works fine for our smaller cubes. For the bigger one we got the following issue. The cube is being synced but the proc delivers error.In the log we found this entry:

Hi all Pros I am transfering from windows2003 server and MS SQL 2000 to Windows Vista and SQL Express ...... Before I allways created a database manually and I could allways use as many databases I needed so in that way I could have several versions of a database for a certain software during development. Can you use separeted databasenames when developing in SQL Express? I am using a dotnetnuke installation file and inside the project there is a file /App_Data/Database.mdf should this file be renamed everytime I make a new testinstallation or setting up a separate dev environment /Johan

I'm developing a web app using ASP.NET and SQL Server 2005 Express. So far it's all been on my local computer, it hasn't gone live yet, so if I need to add a column to a table or make some other schema change I just do it right in Visual Studio, nice and simple. If I have to delete all the old content and start over, no problem. When I deploy it to a staging server I just overwrite the existing file with my new one, losing its data in the process. But soon enough I'll be deploying this to a public web server, there will be real live data in the db, people using it when I need to make updates.
What are some common strategies for updating the schema of a database on a live server?
It's obvious that when I need to update the db I'll have to shut down the site temporarily. But my biggest question is how to keep the existing data from the live db? I obviously can't overwrite it with my local copy. I want to overwrite its schema, without touching its data. How's that done?
Thanks for some advice!

Hi Everybody,
I have made one simple application in asp.net 2.0 using VS 2005. I got following error
Server Error in '/[applicationname]' Application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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)
- When i got on my local machine i solved it by deleting sqlexpress directory from user's account and it was due to that I have installed VS 2005 on machine and by default it installs sql express with it.
- But I could not solved this error on my Development Server wherein there is no VS 2005. Only .Net framework 2.0 & 1.1 are there. My all other applications are running well.
So if any one have idea regarding the solution for this error then please reply me soon. It is very urgent.
Thanks to all of you.
Regards, Hardik B.

Hi
Can we use BCP AND/OR BULK INSERT to do development server databse refresh from production server . I have to do this by following the rules below:
- no truncation of source table
- update of changed or new records only.
I know we can use replication, dts and other methods for this but I need information about this one.

Hello.
I am doing a proof of concept and part of the solution is to configure Common Live Server. However, I am running into problems and do not have that much experience in SQL Server 2005.
I have downloaded and installed the trial version and it seems to be running. I run the configuration manager and see the instance running. When I continue to configure my Live Communications Server - Creating an Enterprise Edition pool, it prompts me for the pool name, FQDN and Instance. I fill these fields in and it fails immediately. I think that I have not completely installed and configured SQL 05. Problem is, I don't know how to connect to the database as well. I found an sqlservr.exe in the MSSQL/Binn directory, but when I run that it pops up with a dialog saying that my installation may be corrupt. I have re-installed the thing again - but same thing happens.
Any clues/tips on how I should approach debugging this even resolving the problem.
Thankyou

I am experiencing a situation where certain functions work perfectly when I run it on my local machine under MVS, but when I upload it to the server, then it does not?!
Here is an example:
I am using a drop down box (in a FormView) that is databound in an online submission form. When I run the application in MVS, then I can edit the records by opening the form, and selection the new value in the drop down list. The new value is then also saved to the database when I hit the update button. When I upload the code to the server, then the drop down list shows the correct information (so the databinding to the control seem to work correctly), but the new value is not saved to the database.
Here is the code for the drop down list:
"DropDownList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3"DataTextField="UserName" DataValueField="UserId" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("UserId") %>'CssClass="text">"SqlDataSource3" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocalSqlServer %>"SelectCommand="SELECT [UserName], [UserId] FROM [vw_aspnet_Users] ORDER BY [UserName]"> Here is the code updating the database with the record (I have removed some records as well as the Insert and Delete parts):
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:tourism_connect1 %>"UpdateCommand="UPDATE Resorts SET typeid = @typeid, destrictid = @destrictid, UserId = @UserId, WHERE (resortid = @resortid)"OnInserted="SqlDataSource1_Inserted">
<UpdateParameters><asp:Parameter Name="typeid" /><asp:Parameter Name="destrictid" /><asp:Parameter Name="UserId" /><asp:Parameter Name="resortid" /></UpdateParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
What I can mention further, is that if I connect to the database that is on the live server (so the application runs in MVS on my local machine, but it then retrieves the info from the online database), then it also works fine. It is just giving this issue when the online application is trying to update the values.
There is also no errors during the process.
I will appreciate any advise on how to overcome this, as I really do not know where to look anymore...
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Jan

At Sql Server Live, I saw Sharon Dooley using the debugger in Query Analyzer, but now that I've tried it I can't step an sp, instead, I get....Quote:
SP debugging may not work properly if you log on as 'Local

You can open Event Viwer to see details.
Do you wish to continue?

This is a bit confusing but here goes: I need to access data in SAP via OLE DB. I can't go direct to the back end database (Oracle), we have to use RFC or BAPI calls to access the SAP data. That's part works, we have a DLL that accesses the SAP data we need.

Hi, I am trying to work ouyt how to dislplay text from an SQL database onto the page whilst keeping the correct formatting, mainly the paragraph breaks. When I try using a label the text comes out as one long line instead of being seperated accordingly as it was done when written in a multiline textbox. I am currently achieving this by writing the text to a txt file and then displaying it dynamically by inserting each line into a new table row and then adding these to a table, but I would much rather store them in the databse along with the other information that is collected with it instead. Someone told me to use a textbox to achieve this but the problem is that this is not crawlable for the search engine.

I have a database used in SSRS in which I get a backup daily and restore it to database "DATA"
The issue I come across is SSRS has a datareader user(ssrsuser) for access to the "report store" web where users get reports
access gets erased on each restore. Can I add something to my job to restore this user after each restore or keep the settings?
declare @Bakpath varchar(80)
set @bakpath = 'C:EDataExtractedDataextract.bak'
Use Master
Alter Database [Data]
SET SINGLE_USER With ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
RESTORE DATABASE [Data] FROM DISK = @bakpath --location of .bak file
WITH REPLACE

I have created a site using VWDExpress and now that I’ve finished testing have moved it over to the server which runs SQLServer 2000. Part of the site requires login, so I created the membership using the ASP.net web configuration tool and when testing locally worked well.
Now though that I’ve copied the web site over, when I try to log in I get the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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
Obviously its some sort of configuration issue, but I don’t know what.
What do I have to change to make this work from a test machine to a live server?
Thanks

Hi,Ive been building a project on a local server and now need to transfer the files and database over to the live server. I have managed to transfer the files quite easily, however I am having a few problems transferring the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. When I try importing data to the live database, all the data and tables are brought across however some of the values for the fields are lost. For example all the fields which had a primary key no longer have one, and all the set default values for the fields are also lost. Ive been considering just going through every table in the database and re-entering the correct values for the fields, but this seems a bit time consuming and I'm also concerned about possible errors which could arise as there will be an inconsistency.Another method I tried was copying the SQL query across which created all the tables and the correct values for the fields. However when I tried to import the data an error was produced as you cannot import data into a table which has read only fields etc..Does anyone know a solution?Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I would like advice regarding what hardware to use for a SQL Server 2005 for use in a development environment. I am the only developer and user of the database.
I develop at home, and currently use one PC, to develop the software. My PC is Athlon XP 4000, 2 Gig RAM, 1 x 160gb HD . I am developing an asp.net website along with a variety of data interface applications in C# - all on top of SQL Server 2005. This environment works/worked fine until I started dealing with a lot more data.
I now have 2 databases, each about 30 gig in size (with most of the data in a a couple of tables in each database). When I am importing data or running the website or doing intensive queries or doing sql updates that change millions of rows, I am understandably hitting performance problems. I have had to throttle SQL Server 2005 to only use 400mb, as I have so many other development applications that are open...... Everything is slowing to a halt, and I dont think SQL Server is very happy.
So, I am looking to build or buy a cheap machine to run SQL Server 2005, and take the load off my current PC. However I only have a budget of about 300/$560 - maybe a bit more at a push (I could possibly upgrade in the future).
I could do something like below, if I am going to buy a machine
Acer T180
Sempron 3200
512mb (i would upgrade to 2GB)
80gb hard disk
Or I could build my own? If I do, what should I skimp on and where should I invest more. I.e. should I get the cheapest processor possible, and get a decent harddrive or 2? Should I raid 0 a couple of small drives? Or have one drive for data and one for the transaction logs? Or should I have one drive, and spend more on RAM?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Currently I have a column with multiple postcodes in one value which are split with the “/” character along with the corresponding location data. What I need to do is split these postcode values into separate rows while keeping their corresponding location data.
For example:
PostCodeLatitudeLongitude
66000/6610042.6965952.899370
20251/2027042.1964719.404951
Would become
PostCodeLatitudeLongitude
6600042.6965952.899370
6610042.6965952.899370
2025142.1964719.404951
2027042.1964719.404951
how this can be done?

I need to live update my SQL-Server 2000 database from AS400 database.
I usually use Access 2002 database between the AS400 database and the SQL-Server 2000 database to reflect any live update.
I use the (Link Tables...) option when creating a new table in access and link it with the ODBC to connect with the AS400 database.
After that I work with the Access link table.
Is there any tool in SQL-Server 2000 to show the live transactions in AS400 databasee so I can work on it?
Please advise
