I attach my SQL Server Express data file to my host. I would like to copy all of my member information back to my local computer. How can I do this? My host won't allow my to physically copy the data file over.
My host is discountasp.net.

On my company's website, we have a quote of the day. I would like to be able to type a hundred or so quotes into a mdf file. Then, I would like to have code that randomly selects one of the quotes every day and posts it.
....What I want is very similar to the "Image Of the Day" section on many websites.
Any ideas?
Hi all,
my problem is that: I do read informations (e.g. connectionString) from configuration file by one custom assembly.
My environment is RS2005, VS.NET 2005 Prof.Edition, WIN2003 Server SP1, .NET Framework 2.0.50727
The scenario is that:
A text box into my report require a function contained into MyCustom.dll. This code do read information from MyCustom.dll.config.
This file contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="IS2009cfg" connectionString="data source=servernameinstancename;initial catalog=dbname;user id=xx;password=yy;" />
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<add key="DefaultHeaderLogo" value="This is a test" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
Using
ConnectionStringSettings conn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["IS2009cfg"];
the result is null.
Also using
string defaultHeaderLogo = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DefaultHeaderLogo"];
the result is null.
MyCustom.dll and MyCustom.dll.config are located into locations of Report Server and Report Designer, with this Build Events on succesfully build:
rem Copy custom assembly to ReportDesigner location...
copy "...mydeveloplocation...inDebugMyCustom.dll" "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssembliesMyCustom.dll"
copy "...mydeveloplocation...inDebugMyCustom.dll.config" "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPrivateAssembliesMyCustom.dll.config"
rem Copy custom assembly to ReportServer location...
copy "...mydeveloplocation...inDebugMyCustom.dll" "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4Reporting ServicesReportServerinMyCustom.dll"
copy "...mydeveloplocation...inDebugMyCustom.dll.config" "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4Reporting ServicesReportServerinMyCustom.dll.config"
The question is simple: where I do locate configuration file for obtain value during report execution?
Many thank's in advance

I'm having some problems with SQL Server 2005. I installed the Personal Starter kit but don't have the Express edition installed so I attached the .mdf file to SQL Server 2005. That's ok and I also changed the connection string to integrated security.<add name="Personal" connectionString="Data Source=MyTestServer;Initial Catalog=Personal;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>I tried setting the security settings in the Management studio under Security | Logins | BUILTINAdministrators where I select the User mapping and check the checkbox before the Personal.mdf file. But this doesn't seem to do the trick. How can I set the correct security settings?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I was wondering about the principles of SQL Server. In all of my books, they show me to attach the DB, even create the DB through Visual Studio 2005. Which creates a .mdf file and a .ldf file.
Ok, but I cannot open those files through SQL Server Management. The only DB I am able to manage through SQL Server Management is the ones created with it.
So my question is: For a Multi-User type Application, is there a problem to attach a network based file through VS2005, the same way as an access file ?
Again my keyword here is Multi-User. Sorry if this myth be a stupid question but I am used to MSAccess. SQL Server is a lot more complexe and I don't want to start in the wrong direction.
Thank you for your response.
Hi there,
I need to extract a attached file which is sent via email. I believe that I can do this via SSIS... but I would like to know how...
Could you kindly send me any idea about how can I do it?
Thank you, so much.

Hi allI have a question concerning sql database mdf files. In the old days I would user a ms access database. This file would be stored with the actual web files and would utilise a dsn connection. I have noted when designing with vwd 2005 express it allows you to use 2 methods of creating a mdf database. You can either create it as an attachment mdf or you can create it directly using sql manager. My question is, if you create the mdf database as an attachement file can you store it in the same manner as if you where using a ms access database, meaning can you store it with the web site's files so it uses the file storage allocated size and then create a connection similar to a dsn (but for sql) to the isp's sql engine or does it have to be uploaded to the isp' s sql server.The reason for this question is some of my customers do not want to pay the extra cost to have an sql allocation, however I do not want to go back to using old asp methods to create advanced sites as I prefer using stored procedures. Any help will be appreciated

Hi all,I have a problem and need some ideas.What I have done: I created a page to upload an excel file into a SQL Server table along with some customer info (from the login, day, etc.). This excel file contains several rows (some of them may be blank) and columns (also some may be blank). The file is stored in an image object.The file will be checked (they want to do it manually, because contents is a problem). If they say it is OK, I want to run a program to add a record into an existing table with the request no. (from the first table, where the object is stored) and all the information available from the filled rows (first row is header). I have a column, which can be checked, if the row contains data or not.Any ideas?I know how to read from and write the contents of the object to a field in the SQL table. Can I use this?Thanks for any idea / code / link.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Northwind sample database by running the install script within server management sudio express and the database and tables show up, but there are no records. Once executed, it says it was successful.
Am I missing something?
I have a package that processes a flat file, which is generated by a separate system each weekday around 3:30AM. I would like my package to store the timestamp of the input file and compare it to the timestamp of the next day's file. If they are the same, then the package can exit without reprocessing a particular file again.
So, my first question is whether a package variable can be updated so that its value will persist from one run to the next?
Second, what is the syntax to retrieve the file's timestamp, either directly from the file connection manager or within a script task?
Thanks,

Hi there folks,
was just wondering if there was an easy way to include a files contents into a web page via a database field. A bit confusing i know.
Here goes:
I got a field called ContentPage stored in a database. (e.g Index.htm)
I want to retrieve this page and then include its contents in my middle div of the webpage like so: <!--#include file="<%=ContentPage%>"-->. Not allowing me to do this as you may have guessed. These pages will either be htm or aspx pages. This would make my life so much easier.
Is there any way of doing this or am i kidding myself.
Would appreciate any help.

Hi
I've got a module that contains the following function.
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Module SQL_Sprocs
Function ListUsers()
Dim conn As New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("DBConn"))
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("list_users", conn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
conn.Open()
Dim dr As SqlDataReader
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
ListUsers = dr
dr.Close()
conn.Close()
End Function
End Module
I then want to call this function from my webform. So I'm using the following
Dim dr As SqlClient.SqlDataReader
dr = Timetracker.SQLProcs.ListUsers()
Do While dr.Read
Label1.Text &= dr("first_name") & " " & dr("last_name") & ", "
Loop
dr.Close()
But it's not working. I want to have a module that contains all my sprocs and be able to call them from the individual webpages.
What am I doing wrong?

"I meant to delete just one assignment, doing which was giving me difficulty.
I deleted a whole category by accident which had most of my daily grades in it for a course with quite a few of them. I was negligent in backing them up, so I cannot restore them. I have an XLS file from the midterm, but am missing about 6 grades after that.
Is there any way to recover the grades I had in the deleted category. It has been a couple of days since I entered any new grades. HELP!"
My current backup strategy is to do a full backup 5 pm, differentials every 2 hours, logs every 30 min, all so they arenot simultaneous. Backing these all to same backup device via three different jobs.
Then the server is backed up to tape shortly after the 5 pm full backup.
Obviously, I can't restore from the backup for this situation because it would hurt other data.
But - is there a way I can take last night's backup from tape and restore it to a different database than our production database? (Such a database doesn't at this time exist. Would I detach, copy over the files, and then reattach on prod and attach on the devl side, and then restore from the backup device to the devl copy?)
I've never had to perform this kind of rescue and am wondering if my backup strategy is flawed since it isn't immediately evident how I can easily do this.
I needed a similar thing from our Oracle DBA yesterday, and he went to tape, copied out a table and put it on the Oracle database under a different owner, and I easily fixed the few records that I had botched.
That's exactly what I need to do now with MS SQL 2000.
As the faculty dude said, "HELP!"
And Thanks.
Hi,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me, I trying to go through several databases, 111 to be exact, and get the data out of a particular table which is present in all the databases on the same server.
I know how to get the names of the databases from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA, but how can use the name for it to cycle through all the databases and get data out of the one particular table.
Hi, I need some help. I have this query where i need to pull up students that have more than or equal to 3 absences in a row. Now I am getting all those students that are absent but not in a row.

Dear fellows,
Up to the moment I've got enough knowledge for read data stored into .LDF files by dbcc log and so on. It's very useful and interesting. Now, I wonder how to retrieve the same information but on MDF files.
At first, I want to make sure that is not possible by mean of traditional methods (dbcc or something like that) I suppose so but I'd like to hear opinions regarding that.
Thanks in advance for any idea, though or further information.
this is a simple problem but it's just driving me mad as it's not reading from my dB. basically, I've have reviews stored in my dB and want to display them in a textbox by clicking on a button called btnReviews. I think the problem might be that there is too much text stored per row of the table (as it is a review), but I have the datatype set as text in sql. here's the simple un-errorred code I have behind the button. any ideas where I went wrong. i've a feeling it's something small but it's just taken too long to figure out.protected void btnReviews_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { String strConn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["conLocalDatabase"].ConnectionString; SqlConnection dbConnection = new SqlConnection(strConn); SqlCommand dbCommand = new SqlCommand("Select [ReviewC] From [Review])", dbConnection); dbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("Review", txtReviewView.Text); try { dbConnection.Open(); dbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); } catch (SqlException ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); } finally { if (dbConnection != null) { dbConnection.Close(); } } }

I have four tables that need to be loaded into an ASP.NET application. They need to be loaded together into one result set and sorted. Is it possible to load four tables together and sort them using an SQL statement?
To clarify, say I have the following data:
Table1: Anglesey, Cardiff, Ceredigion
Table2: London, Dorset, Lancashire
Table3: Antrim, Armagh
Table4: Glasgow, Berwick, Edinburgh
I'd want the data retrieved from all four tables and sorted so that the data retrieved would be:
Anglesey, Antrim, Armagh, Berwick, Cardiff, Ceredigion, Dorset, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lancashire, London
I am aware of and am using the SELECT ... ORDER BY feature of MSSQL in my present ASP.NET application to retrieve from single database tables. I'm using merged datasets and a sort method to solve the above problem at the moment.
I'm preparing a report that will display provider number, provider name, and a single field that will show all the counties that specific provider serves. I realize from researching the coalesce posts that this can be done. However, when I try to retrieve data in the same select statement as my coalesce, I get the error: "A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be combined with data-retrieval operations."The listing of the counties must be specific to the provider, so my original code was:
DECLARE @Counties varchar(1000)
SET @Counties = ''
SELECT a.PROV_ID, a.PROV_NAME,
@Counties=coalesce(@Counties,'') + b.COUNTY + ','
from ECBH.dbo.tbl_PROVIDERS a inner join ECBH.dbo.tbl_Provider_Serv_Regions c
on a.PROV_ID = c.PROV_ID
inner join ECBH.dbo.tbl_Regions b
on b.REGION_ID = c.REGION_ID
where c.PROV_ID = a.PROV_ID
and a.MASTER = 1
I thought about creating a table to hold the coalesced values (need to coalesce two other fields as well), but wouldn't an insert to a table fail for the same reason?The counties table does not relate to the provider table, but does relate to a provider_county table (which in turn relates to the provider table).
Hello,
Thank you for reading this. I am faced with a problem where there is no storage of deleted or updated information in an OLTP DB. I am mostly concerned about retrieving the deleted data from a table when an update occurs so as to make the deleted data show as an error. Is there a way to retrieve these kind of data from a DB, if so how? Can these data be retrieved by dates? Also how much time do you have before the data can no longer be retrieved? Assuming that the data can be retrieved.
I know the good stuff about datawarehousing but unfortunately we have no DW. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2008 with .NET 3.5 Visual Basic. I'm having a problem retrieving data from my SQL CE database.
I have a function that imports a file, parses it and writes the contents to a database. When I then query the database from my code, the data I have just written doesnt seem to be there. Even when i close and re-run the program. Only when I first view the table contents through Visual Studio then re-run the program does the data show up.
The things I know are. When I insert data there is no problem. I can view the data through visual studio server explorer. only when I view data through the server explorer can my code retrieve it.
Could this be something to do with caching? Any help would be appreciated. The (stripped down) code I use to insert data is below
kevin
Dim rowsAffected = 0
Dim connection As New SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection(connectionstring)
Dim transaction As SqlCeTransaction
' command objects for inserting a ContactList and retrieving its last identity

cmdInsertContactList.Parameters.Add("@Name", SqlDbType.NVarChar)

Try
connection.Open()
transaction = connection.BeginTransaction()
cmdInsertContactList.Connection = connection

' insert a new list
cmdInsertContactList.Parameters("@Name").Value = list.Name
cmdInsertContactList.Parameters("@FolderID").Value = folder.ID

test.Insert()
But I have no idea the syntax to retrieve a data. Please help me with this matter as it is important to me. Thanks in advance!
