I have a doubt. I've just bought a private server and now I can decide between having my applications under a private SQL Server Express database or under a Shared SQL Server database.
The application is not professional, it's just a hobby, but it could have more than 100.000 entries and be used by 200 users at the same time.
I know the limitations of SQL Server Express, but I want to know the opinion of someone who have experienced about this.
I have a couple of questions on the nature of shared and private deployment of SQL Server CE 2005 on mobile devices:
1. I've read that with a shared install, SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition files are automatically updated and serviced by Microsoft Update. I take it that this only applies to installations on desktop computers -- if you're installing on mobile devices, there IS no automatic update. Right?
2. I've also read that in order to do a shared install of SQL Server 2005 CE, the user must have administrative rights. How does this apply to installs on a mobile device? There is no such thing as an administrative user on a mobile device. However, mobile devices CAN require different levels of privilege to install certain programs -- do you need something like an application signed for privileged execution (via a M2M certificate) in order to do a shared install of SQL Server 2005 CE on a mobile device?
Or is the shared versus private deployment only an issue when deploying to a desktop?
I've just bought a Virtual Private Server Account because I want to host a number of different ASP.NET sites, each backed by their own SQL database. I've downloaded SQLEXPRE.EXE and SQLServer2005_SSMEE-x64.msi to the server and installed the database engine and Management Studio Express on the VPS. My problem is that I cannot access the SQLEXPRESS on my server from my local machine. The Management Studio Express cannot get logged in. I've used "Surface Area Configuration Manager" to allow "Local and remote connections" using TCP/IP only. I've used SQL Server Configuration Manager" to enable the TCP/IP protocol. After making these changes I've stopped and started the SQL server - and even rebooted the machine. I've created a login "Remote User" for this access. I've added sqlservr.exe as an exception to the firewall. What else do I need to do? Is there a simpleton's guide to completing this task?
I want to backup and/or have a local copy of my DB which is on a shared host. I have an ip addreess and user/pwd, but I am at a loss to find any help for the steps to accomplish this in Management express.
I have a web app and database created in sql server 2005 express. In addition to using the membership and role providers I have added custom tables and stored procedures to my db. When I try to export this with Sql Server Management Studio (not the express version) to my db on my shared host(sql server 2005) the custom tables and stored procedures are not transferred. How can this be accomplished? Thanks in advance.
I have a asp.net 2.0 app that has a sql server express backend. I have been scratching my head for weeks trying to find a good wasy to encrypt my connection string. I store the string in web.config (which in itself is in theory "safe" because it's not servable) and I have scoured the web to try to find a simple way to encrypt the connection string. Even using user store would require running aspreg_iis.exe on the host with a command prompt (which clearly I cannot do). It seems that everyone's solution requires running a command prompt executable on the server.
So I am left to wonder what everyone else does. I am not comfortable using just the web.config because a determined hacker could get to that info. Then again, a determined hacker could get into any system , I guess. There are no credit card #'s stored in this app, but in theory there must be a way. I run all access to the db through stored procedures with permissions, for whatever it's worth.
Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?
Web server: win2003 server with iis6DB: sql server 2000I have 50+ remote offices running an Access 2002 app which connectsdirectly to sql server at a 3rd party hosting company, in part using anodbc connection on the workstation.We recently moved our database (and our web site) in-house. The newdatabase is inside the firewall but outside the dmz, where it livesalong side the company's most sensitive databases. IT's policy won'tallow us to connect directly from the internet. I'm trying to avoidbuying another copy of sql server for the Access app, which I one dayhope to drop anyway in favor ofThe web server uses port 1433 to talk to the database. I was wonderingif there is a simple way to route requests from the Access app throughthe web server.Thanks,Bob
Hi, I am using express database and tools. I have an aspnetdb express database because I am using the login controls, personalisation...Can I use this database for my private tables also? Or do I need a separate express database for my private tables? Will using aspnetdb database, which contains special asp.net tables, for my private website tables create any kinds of problems in using my website? I want to use a single express database for my website, not two different express databases. Regards, Sandy
We are planning to encrypt few fields using asymmetric encryption. Tyring share public key with users and retain private key with us. How to generate keys? Haven't found any solid document on how to generate these keys.
I'm green on this networking stuff so any help is greatly appreciated.
I have setup my home computer as a server and assigned a static IP to it. I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer and allowed remote connections to it through the Surface Area Config tool, added port 1433 TCP and 1434 UDP to firewall's exception list, and started the SQL Server Browser service.
Now I can't seem to remote connect to this SQL Server from my office network. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
I am receiving the following error when starting a program called ShelbySystems that is supposed to connect to a local database. I don't think this is a security issue but I don't know much about SQL server either so...

I need to connect to a SQL server thats running in say abc.trident.com and also sits in a shared environment..
I have couple of questions
1) That SQL server is accessible from my network, yet when I swtich on my enterprise manager I am unable to view that in the list of running SQL servers in the populated list.
Is it because its sitting in a shared environment I am unable to view that?
2) What is the connection striing I should use to connect to the server..When I try to configure a SQL server registrations it normally asks for SQL Server name along with the user authentication
Should I mention fill the Server: field as
abc.trident.com
or
// abc.trident.com/abc.trident.com
to connect to the clustered server.
Can some one tell me the proper connection string if both aforementioned ones are incorrect?
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
Hi guys, I hope this is the correct place to post this question. 1) My website makes use of the Membership and Roles of asp.net 2. 2) I have uploaded my website to a shared hosting server, which doesn't support sql express (mdf files). It does support mysql, so I used a custom Membership provider for MySql. 3) It worked greate on my local computer, however (!!) it still creates a aspnetbd.mdf file in the AppData folder. 4) Obviously, when I tried to run it on the website, I got an error. My questions: Why my website still creates a aspnetbd.mdf file even if I am not using it anymore for the Membership ? How can I disable it, in order for it to run on a server which does not support it ? Thanks, Itye.
I've created a new website using the new Visual Studio 2005 Express edition. This site uses SQL Server Express (free software) as a storage for personalization data, etc. Now I want to deploy my site, but here it ends for me:My web site hoster does not support the SQL Express edition in a shared hosting environment. I think most people have a website running in a 'shared hosting' plan. How can this large group enjoy the new Express line when SQL Server Express is not supported? "SQL Server Express is not a part of the SPLA SPUR (Services Provider License Agreement)", they all say. Here it ends for me, my ISP and their licence supplier. Even at Microsoft's Response Management Team, 'no' is the answer. What to do now? Move on to an expensive 'dedicated hosting' plan? Write a membershipprovider for MySQL?I feel as if I was given a free ticket for a nice journey but there's no traffic possible. Who can help me out here? What can I do...
All-- Please help. I have deployed my site to my shared host and I am getting the following RTE...

My web hosting provider has advertised that they do support SQL Express 2005. What exactly do I need to ask them to do in order to get this working? Please advise. Thank you. --Mark Kamoski

currently two people(with different username and password) are using a shared workstation, where in the sql server is installed. so i just wanted to know that whether two people could use the sql server at the same time. please note that the two people have different username and password to enter to log in.
We've been running a database on a shared server. The traffic on oursite has been picking up steadily and it seems as though we're runninginto sporadic downtime on the database. Sometimes when we do largedata imports, the transaction log fills up and the schema somehowfails to truncate it when asked to back it up. So we run the explicittruncate statement and that usually seems to fix the problem. A fewdays ago a single stored procedure started to block, but inexplicablyonly when called by our .NET server. When called by hand fromEnterprise Manager, it executed fine. I was at my wits end when Ijust recreated it with the same exact code and it magically startedworking again. What gives? Is this at all indicative of a shareddatabase, or are these known SQL Server issues?
I am new to setting up SQL Server and would greatly appreciate ifsomeone can help me out with this issue:I have successfully set up SQL Server but want to be able for clientsof mine to be able to connect to it via the web through enterprisemanager. I have tried everything I could think of to get it to work. Imade sure the correct ports where open in the firewall (1433,1434).Everytime I try to connecting using the IP of the box that the SQLServer resides I get SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Iverified that the login credentials being used for the database I amtrying to correct to are correct. Still the same error message.How I would like to set it up would be to create a subdomain on thebox and point it to SQL Server so that is what would be entered whenregistering the group in enterprise manager.I am currently running all my sites through vhost on a single IP usingIIS 2003. SQL Server is installed on the box where all of the sitesare being served up.Is it impossible to set-up SQL Server to allow connections over theweb when using a Shared IP?I have been researching this for over a week now and hope someone outthere can help me.Thanks in advance!!
I am new here and new to SQL Express. I've searched for my issue, but can 't quite find anything close to the problem or how to solve it, if it's even solvable. I am using SQL Express on a pc to connect to the back end of a database. The front end application (an access runtime) also runs on the same pc. This pc is on a domain. I think I've tried every combination of protocols, and although connectivity via ODBC is successful, the application can't connect - gives the "server doesn't exist or access denied". When I log on to this computer with the "machine" logon (not the domain), I have SQL Express configured to use shared memory, the application runs just fine. I need to use this database for testing in a non productivity environment, but I really hate to log off the domain to run it. Ideas?
i am getting ready to build the back end for a client server application, using a shared sql server as a back end. microsoft's white pages don't mention shared hosting. i need to know if anyone else has had problems with lisencing in a shared hosting environment. my web host told me i don't need to liscence my users (who will have read write priveledges), but microsoft gave me the impression that i did. anyone know a clear answer?
am doing a project with SQL 2005 as backend.my database is in a shared SQL server. i want to know that is it possible to send email through SQL in a a shared server?Plz help me out.
I recently come to problem. I want to deploy my web site, which uses SQL2005EE extensively, so I began searching for host, SHARED HOSTING solution. I haven't find one offering SQL2005EE on .NET2.0 final frameworkI have been told that there isn't ONE host which would offer SQL2005EE on Final .NET2.0 shared hosting, that it is illegal! Only if the shared host provided is free, which is insufficient in my needs (free hosts have low trafic/disk space etc).Is it true? If I pay for hosting, I can't have SQL2005EE as an option in their hosting plan? Just SQL2005 full as an option? This way I need to pick up some expensive shared hosting plan?How you ppl solved this problem?

I'd like to do this:Have a SQL Server database hosted on a public facing web server.I want it to be held at an ISP/Web hosting company. Though I have ADSL hereI don't want to manage a server.I want some ASP pages accessing the database.I would also like for a very small number (probably 2) of users to accessthe database from a richer client. Perhaps Access/VB.I've tried using www.shanje.com, as a test. It seems to work, though thereare worries about security.I want to keep cost down!On 'normal' shared MS hosting, would it be possible to connect to the dbfrom a client like Access. The way most web hosts talk it doesn't look likeit.Is there any way of providing a richer client interface than plain webpages? I want things like autocomplete (beyond the first character) for dropdowns, keyboard shortcuts etc.This would be low volume. Essentially a private database held on theinternet.Yours, Jo
Our 32-bit applications connect to SQL Server 32-bit through OLEDB with Shared memory as preferred protocol. Our client applications and SQL Server generally reside on same machine. We are evaluating possible impact when SQL Server 2008 64-bit is accessed with our 32-bit client applications running on 64bit WindowsServer 2008. Can shared memory protocol will be still used by underlying SQL server OLEDB dll considering the client application is 32-bit where as SQL Server is 64-bit ? Or it will switch to Named pipes or TCP/IP automatically ?
I am trying to get my hosting company to provide a way to make secure encrypted connections from my desktop (where I am using Enterprise Manager and Aqua Data Studio) to their shared MS SQL Server.
I've seen some references to SSH, but I don't understand how this works or how the host would implement it. I also read that an SSL certificate can be installed on SQL Server, but it doesn't seem as if EM or ADS can make SSL connections to SQL Server. (In case it makes any difference for either of these solutions, the hosting company has port 1433 open, and will not close it because some clients connect to the DB server from web apps on their own intranets.)
Finally, if a web-based admin is used instead (like phpMyAdmin for MySQL), then which machine is the software installed on? Can it be on a web server that makes a local connection to the DB server or does it have to be on the DB machine? E.g., if I had a VPS or dedicated server at the same hosting company would I be able to install web-based admin software which would then connect to the host's shared SQL Server?
Anyway, my host is giving incomprehensible (to me) objections to all of these ideas. Is there a reasonably simple way to do this on a shared DB server?
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
I am having an Access database on a shared network drive which has read/write access rights on the that shared network drive. When I try to Access data through the linked server it gives me gives me a message box saying you do not have permissions to view the data. Also if i try to use xp_cmdshell to copy over the mdb file to my local drive it say 'Access denied'
But when I copy (through command prompt) the same file to another network drive or my local drive where I have full control the linked server can connect sucessfully.
The problem is the i cannot have 'full control' permissions on shared drive where my database resides.
Can any one help - my Full text catalog on a remote shared sql server hasdied and i need to recreate it completely - I have done this before but i'velost the code to do it.If I remember right what i did was use start --> run --> to run an exe in themssql folder that connected to the remote server - but i've lost all theparameters I needed for it.ANy help much apprectiated
I have a Microsoft Access application which uses linked SQL Server tables. I would like to create an ODBC DSN which would be available to all users so that I don't have to create a DSN on each machine. Can this be done? The Access application resides on a shared drive (Windows). Thanks for your help.
