SQL EXPRESS DATABASE DEPLOYMENT QUESTION

Oct 13, 2007



Hi Guys/Gals,

I have developed a database in Visual Studio 2005 (c#) ,using SQL Express as my database, on my local machine and deployed it to a different machine where it is being used in a live environment. No problems.

However, I have continued developing the application on my local machine and have made numerous additions to the structure of the database (on the development machine).

My question...How do I go about deploying the new database structure to the live machine without losing the live data?

Best regards

Jonny M.

Database Deployment - SQL Express

Oct 22, 2007

I have an application being developed in VS 2005 using SQL Express.  I've built up some new roles and have several users pre-populated that I'd like to deploy to a shared hosting evironment.
The problem is that I seem to keep getting:
 Database 'd:hostingmemberasangaApp_DataASPNETDB.mdf' already exists. Choose a different database name.Cannot attach the file 'd:hostingmember
2agilitysite1App_DataASPNETDB.MDF' as database 'ASPNETDB'.
 I saw another post with a similar issue, but that resolution has not seemed to help.  Can anybody give me insights as to where the "asanga" is coming from? That might help me diagnose the issue.
 Thanks in advance

Embedded SQL Server Express Deployment - Unhandled Exception: Database Already Exists

Mar 7, 2007

Good Afternoon.

I am trying to write a short application within which I would like to embed a SQL Server Express database, all of which would be deployed via ClickOnce through a web site. The installation process seems to be working without trouble, including installation of the .NET Framework 2.0 and SQL Server Express 2005.

When the application launches on the new machine, however, I get a big Microsoft .NET Framework "Unhandled exception" error dialog box that indicates the database already exists and that the database file could not be attached. I am working with a clean virtual machine that I know has never had the database installed on it.

I fear I am overlooking something quite straightforward, but since this is the first time I have ever attempted to build a data-bound application, I am not sure where I am going wrong.

Perhaps the source of the problem, or a related problem, might be revealed even when I run the application in debug mode from within Visual Studio. I can run the application once, but if I try to run it again, I get an error when I try to open the database connection that is similar in content (database already exists...could not attach). I can run the SSEUtil and detach the database and then run the application again in debug mode and it works no problem (the first time!).

Lastly, if I install the application on the machine on which it was developed and make sure the database is detached, it will run without any trouble (even repeatedly). But, on a new blank machine, there is no database listed that matches my database name, so I cannot try to detach anything!?

My apologies for such a novice question!

SQL Express For WinForm App. Deployment

Nov 14, 2005

Hi All,

I have a winform app built using vb.net that utilize SQL 2005. How do i include the database that i have within the application itself and how does that affect the connection string? This lead to the 2nd question, Will the database have multi user capability if i set the connection string to (local)? Does anybody have a step by step way to do this? Please elaborate the way to do it or share with us the link to do it.

SQL Express And Vista Deployment

Aug 14, 2007

Greetings,

anyone know of any issues related to installing and running SQL Express on Vista? Please provide a link or some tips I need to consider for deployment.

I have heard something about the windows authentication not working unless you connect the windows login to a sql server login.

Regards.

SQL Server Express Unsuitable For Deployment?

May 9, 2007

I am currently deploying my website.
I cannot establish a link with the SQL sever express database.  I followed the instructions of my web host (covered in this thread):
http://forums.asp.net/thread/1698700.aspx
and finally I received the currently unresolved error:
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file d:hostingmembersharpeeuksite1App_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I told my webhost I have followed their instructions and they came back with the answer:
"I would suggest you to upgrade the db's to use mssql 2005.
This is because, sql express is built for development environment. When you are in development environment, you are accessing everything with administrator permission. However, in live hosting environment (when there are differnet kind of permission restrictions), sql express often failed on attaching database. Any kind of change to the database would require re-attaching database. Personally, I do not feel sql express is ready for the live hosting environment. We can try to fix the attaching problem for you, however, even if we do it for free for you, you might encounter attaching db problem the next time you make any kind of update to the database schema. "
Is this correct? Is SQL server Express really unsuitable for deployment?
I am using webhost4life.com - Does someone know a webhost that can host SQL server Express reliably? (that would seem a lot cheaper than upgrading to mssql 2005)
Thanks for any advice

SQL Express XCopy Deployment Under Vista

Nov 28, 2006

We are in the process of converting our MSDE-enabled products to using SQL Express for compatability with Vista. With help from the msdn article at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx I've been able to create a test install that works fine under XP, but fails under Vista. We have our application installing under the "Program Files" directory, and are copying the database's MDF file into the same directory. We are using AttachDbFileName to connect to the database and under XP the LDF file is created fine. Under Vista we receive an error that the database cannot be attached and I've noticed that the LDF file is not being created. I was receiving the exact same error under XP until I removed the LDF file from the install and allowed SQL Express to create it. I'm guessing that it is an issue in the permissions necessary to write the LDF file out to the applications directory, but that's just a guess. So, I was wondering what the Microsoft recommended method for doing a SQL Express XCopy deployment under Vista was?

ClickOne Deployment And SQL Server Express

Apr 9, 2006

This is probably a dumb question. But if I embed a SQL Server Express database into my project and then attempt to deploy it via ClickOnce, will I be able to access that database using the SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP if it is installed on the same machine as the client that my app would be installed?

Embedded Deployment Sql Server Express

Dec 26, 2006

Hi,my problem is the following

I can not completely understand how to deploy sse with my application

To some degree I understand the explaning in  Mikes Documentation

Things I don't get:

1)Do I not check the prerequisite server express because when I did  and run the setup.exe that I build  the thing that happens is that the sql package gets unpacked over and over along with a little message that it's taking a little longer then expected. I gues this is the fallpit where the actual setup.exe for sse is nothing being done with hence the wrapper. 

A quote from Mikes document "If the VS Bootstrapper isn't flexible enough for you then". Well, I don't know what I'am doing wrong but it doesn't work at all. I had no problem with the other prerequisites (Framework, installer)

Back to the first question: if so do I manually add the SQLEXP.EXE (downloaded from the internet) or is it the sqlexpr32.exe in the same folder as the setup.exe for the application?

2) How is the wrapper invoked?  I don't see that mentioned. I thought when you start the application itself, but that hardly seems logical.

Please anyone,  give me some clear directions or additional expanatory

 

Thanks,

Richard

SQL 2005 Express Deployment Problem

Feb 15, 2007

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!

Problem With SQL Server Express 2005 Deployment

Apr 30, 2008

Hi-
I am trying to use the same SQL Server 2005 express DB with two different project.  I am using the
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename
syntax in the connection string.  The first project can attach and connect just fine.  The second project is a windows service that uses the same connection string.  The windows service cannot connect to the DB though.  It looks like it is trying to attach the DB again even though it is already attached.  Shouldn't it only try to attach it if it isn't already attached?  Here is the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.Cannot attach the file 'C:path' as database 'dbname'.

CLR Integration And SQL Express XCOPY Deployment Hell!

Jul 1, 2006

I originally developed my application using SQL 2005 Developer Edition, but want to switch to using an XCOPY deployed DB on SQL Express for deployement.

I have successfully copied the database.mdf/ldf files over to me project, and can connect using Data Source=.SQLExpress and AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|[database].mdf attributes.

The question is, how do I enable CLR integration for my C# SP's?

I've tried executing the following in various places:

sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1
go
reconfigure
go

But I obviously haven't hit the spot because I'm getting the following error when VS deploys my SP library:

Error: starting database upload transaction failed.
Error: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

Any ideas?

Customer Deployment Requirements For Reporting Services Express?

Mar 28, 2007

Hello. I have a version of SQL Express with Advanced services. I created a report and all seems well in Report Manager on my computer. Now it's time to deploy my report to some customers.



1. Can I create an application in Visual Studios Express to view my report? I've read things online that seem contradictory to me and I'm hoping you can clarify this.

2. On a customer machine, if they have a .net application that can render my report, will they have to install reporting services on their computer or can the .rdl file run independently of reporting services if plugged into a .net viewer component? If it was called from a .net application, then Report Server and Report Manager aren't really needed are they? I have a situation where we don't want to use IIS on customer computers if we don't need to. Since the reports will not be adhoc, we're hoping to avoid needing to install Reporting Services on customer computers.



Thanks!

Trouble Installing SQL Server Express As Part Of Click Once Deployment

Dec 20, 2006

Hello,

I've developed a desktop application for a company. It uses click once deployment and has a few prereqs: .NET Framework 2.0, j# .NET redistributable, windows installer 3.1 and SQL Server 2005 express edition.

Most of the time the application downloads and installs fine. However, one user has a problem. I'm fairly certain it's machine / OS related and I wonder if there is a way to get around it.

The user has a Windows 2000 machine, Pentium III, with 512 MB of RAM.

On their first try, they received an error while installing SQL Server 2005 Express. The error code the user found in the install log was 70095. Apparently the user found some information directing them to install the current MDAC 2.8 SP 1. After rebooting and trying the install again, it errored out. The new error code is 1706. Below is the install log.

As I said, I'm faily certain it's an OS issue, but I do hope there is a way around the issue other than trying to get the user to upgrade. If you need any other information, please let me know and I'll try to get it from the user.


Thanks,

Database Changes Deployment

Mar 26, 2007

Please forgive me if I'm in the wrong category...

How do you deploy changes to a database? Is there something you can run to compare the two versions and create a script to do this? I've heard about the DTS package (now DTSX I believe) but am not sure how to set one up. If anyone could point me to an article or something that might clear things up, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Deployment With Database

May 17, 2008

Hello

I am currently developing a big winforms project that connects to a SQL Server 2005 database.

The idea is that the application will be deployed on random clients whenever needed. These clients have neither SQL Server installed, nor is there a server to provide a central database. The only option is to include the database file with the deploy.

Now, I've searched all around the internet on how to do this. I just can't seem to connect to the database-file from my deployed version. Is there something special that needs to be done?

Deployment - Database Configurations

Nov 14, 2007

Greetings,I've been looking around all morning and can't seem to find a good answer on this so I thought I'd post a message here.I'm using the recommended practice of keeping the ASPNETDB.MDF data separate from my site data. (I have my site data located in separate databases but still keep them in the App_Data directory.)I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express on a Server 2003 box and I've implemented scheduled backups on the databases in the Sql Server.The questions I'm having are:1. Why isn't the ASPNETDB.MDF database getting attached to the server? Is it using User Instances?2. If it is using User Instance then isn't this degrading performance? If so, how to force it to not use User Instance?3. If  User Instance is how it is supposed to work then how are we supposed to do a full backup of the ASPNETDB.MDF database if it isn't attached in the server? (xcopy doesn't seem to work on User Instances because of the dreaded "is being used by another process" error.)Any recommendations, advice, links, or answers to my questions would be greatly appreciated.

ASPNETDB.MDF, My Own Database And Deployment

May 29, 2006

This question has been asked before, with vague responses
I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server Management Studio Express.
When I create an application with Login controls, VWD automaticlly creates a ASPENTDB.MDF security database. I also create my own database for my application e.g. abc.mdf. In other words, I have two databases. However, my hosting company supports only one database. What do I (we) do?
I have seen articles on: aspnet_regsql . Does this create a new database with all the security features of ASPNETDB.MDF built into my new database i.e. abc.mdf?
(A) If yes, how do you run it with SQL Server Managment Studio Express? It sounds silly, but I need instructions here please ... Also, do you run this against abc.mdf or do you use it create abc.mdf?
(B) If not, how do you achieve a single database scenario?
I'm sure this is a very common deployment question, which is very confusing for most of us hobbyists that want to deploy their web applications

Port Blocking Preventing Deployment Of SSE Database

Jan 27, 2007

I am trying to deploy a SQL Server Express database to a remote SQL Server 2005 host. I was planning to copy and paste the data from my local tables to the remote tables using Management Studio Express but my ISP (NTL) appears to be blocking port 1433 and preventing me from getting a connection to the remote database.
Will an upgrade to SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition help me? I understand that it has a Backup & Restore Wizard but how does this work? Does it rely on a remote connection and will it fall foul of the NTL port blocking? Or, can the file that the Backup stage produces be copied into the web-based MSSQL Manager, that my web host provides, to restore to the remote database?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Database Development/Deployment Best Practise For Large Teams

Jan 2, 2008

Hi,
I work with a large team developing ASP.NET application that has a large database with over 50 complex stored procedures.  It is proving more and more difficult and time consuming to centralise the development and update of the database changes and I was wondering if there were any best practises/tools that could be recommended.  I have looked on the web for good articles and haven't found anything difinitive (except that Team Foundation Server is the way forward)..
A brief background to the current process is that everyone develops on the same database, and then updates the stored procedure scripts in source safe (manually).  Then when we do a new release someone builds a script of all the database updates and runs it.  There are issues related to developers updating there stored procedures over other peoples and other concurrency.
I am looking to move all the developers to start using local databases so that there work only effects them, but then this brings up problems of keeping all the local databases up to date whenever they get the latest source code.  The only way I currently see is to build a database update program, that will run and update to the latest version.
Surely this must be a common issue?  Anyone have any good ideas/concepts?
Also our setup is Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 and Source Safe 2005. 
Cheers,
 Andrew Thomas

Scripting Database Roles For Deployment Upgrades Into Production

Oct 2, 2007

I have searched hi and low for hours within the product and online - I cannot find how to have SQL 2005 produce a script to automatically repeat the creation of a database role I have tedious manually created.



I have tried "script object as, create to,<>" - single-liners are produced - no details. More single line results from "<Database>, All Tasks, Generate Scripts".



Am I missing something or is this a bug?



€¦also to note after review blogs and other sources the use of the SQL2005 methods related to security and new schema objects - I feel€¦ dreadfully wrong - what is claimed feels like hype, unsupported by examples and usage cases feels like we better just make all automated processes sysadmin; I know learning curves can be strong but I am not this green or that stupid - where are the DOCS/training materials?

Now  that I want to testdrive my database application I get this error:

An attempt to attach an auto-named database file c:/program files........................MyDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file can not be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

This is what I read in my app.config file;

<connectionStrings>

<add name="MasterDetail.My.MySettings.MyDBConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</connectionStrings>

What could I be doing wrong? If there is need for additional information you have to tell me

Thanks, Richard

Richard

SQL Server Management Studio Express, Database Explorer In Visual Web Developer Express...which To Use???

Apr 16, 2007

When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
 Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
 When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
 Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
 
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Database Connection: Mapped Network Drive (VC++ Express, MSSQL SMS Express, XP)

Sep 8, 2007


Hi


I have VC++ express and MSSQL SMS express and have an application working nicely locally. The Data explorer and data connections part works really easily.

Now, I want to make the application available to my home network.

I mapped the drive where the database is and called it Z: so I could put my "release" on my other network PC and assumed it would find Z: if I mapped the shared network drive on that machine and called it Z:

But: I can't even add the mapped connection on the local machine, I get:

The file "Z:databasescalorie.mdf" is on a network path not supported for database files. An attempt to attach.....etc"

It works fine on the original F drive.......

Am I approaching this the wrong way. How should I distribute to network PCs?

thanks hopefully
David

Import Existing Database Into SQL SERVER EXPRESS Management Studio Express

Feb 18, 2008



Hi,

I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum.
Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it.
I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list.
As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?

Regards,

Shuja.
