Jun 24, 2007hello guys
I am developing ASP.NET applications in order to build a portfolio, im using MS SQL EXPRESS databases, do i need a hosting account that allows multiple sql databses or does SQL express fit in to your application, eg as many as you like in as amany applications. I am asking this because i know MS SQL server is a different thing from MS SQL EXPRESS server and hosting companies say stuff like 1 MS SQL databse and stuff. I have multiple applications that wont need the real MS SQL databse because there not live just portifolio stuff.
Can somone sugest a ASP.NET hosting company please a cheap one.

SQL Server Express Hosting
Dec 29, 2005I am currently developing an asp.net 2.0 app which uses form authenication now implemented in a sql server express mdf database file. I wonder if there will be problems when I want to deploy this app on a hosted server from a hosting provider. I have the impression that hosting a SQLexpress user instance is currently not supported by hosting companies. Is this correct? Should I revert to an msaccess database instead (we don't want to pay extra for full blown sql server storage).

Shared Hosting And Sql Express Issue
Jan 4, 2007Hi 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.

Jan 16, 2006I'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...

Express Edition Hosting Issues
Aug 20, 2007Hi - I am about to sign up with a new hosting company and I wanted to check my use of Express edition would be ok with their setup (full version 2005), they replied:
----------
yes the formats are the same but some functions in the Express Edition are not supported by the full Version as the Express Edition is for development only. We cant say if you will run into any errors as we don't know what you do and which functions you are using.
----------
Is this true - I figured it would be more likely that the the Express edition represented a subset of the full versions functionality and since they produced the same format, would be compatible in this direction. It smells of BS to me but i just wanted to check with the experts...what do you reckon?
Many Thanks,
Steve

Oct 24, 2006For the second time in as many months I've been asked the question. What is the license requirement for me, the service provider, for offering my clients the ability to use SQL Server Express?
I understand the license to say that as long as I'm registered (no cost) there is no further licensing needed in order to offer this to my clients.
Could someone clarify this for me? If I'm incorrect I'd appreciate the right answer.

SQL Express Commercial License
Oct 8, 2006Hello Everyone,I have been searching hard to get an answer on this question, I hope someone here can help me!Here is my situation:I am planning to build a website for them, that would be used for some event registration (by people outside my company). I also plan to use SQL Express Edition as the database backend for the site. Now this is where I have a question, can I use SQL Express and pay nothing? (It is free right?) There would be a maximum of 600 registrations over a period of 1 month. I don't expect more than 50 concurrent users. The administration side of the application would be used by internal employees (So, the application would be used by internal employees and external people). Where can I find more information about the license?I would be very thankful if someone can guide me on this.ASP_Newbie

I wonder is SQL express free to "hobby developer" or to "anyone".... I am thinking to install a SQL express edition on my client's computer, and install our software on my client's other computers, the software will remote connect to the SQL express server.
Is it *legal* to do so? if it is legal, then who would pay for a copy of SQL full-version 2005 ?
Many thanks

View 7 Replies View RelatedWeb Hosting - ASP.NET With SQL Server 2005 Express Database
Jun 6, 2006What is needed for a hoster / hosting company to be able to host .Net applications with SQL Server 2005 Express database?
My questions regarding this issue basically are:
If a hoster has several sites hosted on a server, can each one of them have its own SQL Express database?
Or, do they have to be migrated to full SQL Server?
What is with the Upsize Tool for SQL Server Express (or something like that) - is it available?
Generally, how do hosters do their hosting - do they have SQL Server SPLA signed? Or do they just have SQL Server 2005 Express and allow users just to copy their web sites and databases to server?
I would really appreciate any answer.
Kind regards,

I read about the features and pricing options of the different SQL Server 2005 editions here, I also read the SQL Server 2005 express EULA and knew that it's now alright to use it in commercial applications.
I use the SQL Server express engine only for the purpose of development and testing, is this use is lawful?

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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedSql Server Express - Shared Hosting - Connection String - What Do You Guys Do?
Feb 2, 2007Hey,
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.
Thanks in advance!

Business Intelligence In SQL Express?
May 5, 2006Hello,
I have spent about half an hour looking for an answer to this, so apologies if I have missed it.
Can you get Business Intelligence Development Studio together with SQL Server 2005 both in Express editions? There was mention of an Express toolkit which includes BIDS but it seemed to imply you couldn't combine it with SQL Server Express.
If not, what is the cheapest way for an individual to get Business Intelligence Development Studio? My evaluation edition is about to run out.

SQL Server Express With Windows Vista Business?
Sep 6, 2007Hi y'all,
I just know that SQL Server Express Edition SP2 is being released by Microsoft recently, and from previous informations I gathered; it seemed that SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is not compatible with Windows Vista (any editions).
With the release of SP2, does this mean SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is now compatible with Windows Vista?
If so, do I have to install .NET Framework v2.0 first in my Windows Vista Business edition? BecauseI know that Vista Business edition already has .NET Framework v3.0 in it.
Thanks for your help! Appreciate it...
Connectivity Issues On SQL Express 2005 On Vista Business
Oct 1, 2007I read your blogs regularly on SQL-Server Express 2005 which I have been actively deploying with my software product for about a year now. I have migrated most of my products to SQL-Server from Microsoft Access. I have found SQL-Express very stable and have had no significant problems. My products are mainly accounting based such as payroll systems, hotel management systems, school academic results management systems.
My favourite front ends tools are Visual Basic 6.0, and Microsoft Access. Typically, with MS Access I link to tables via the SQL-Server ODBC driver and all the client front ends share a common security file, an access work group file. I have been using this approach for up to a decade with no problems.
Currently I am deploying a hotel management system and payroll system in a hotel about to be opened. Against our advice, they purchased computer systems running Windows Vista Business instead of XP which we are sure our software suites, the wireless network and other software solutions such as CCTV work perfectly. This has caused a lot of problems.
On my side I had the extra task of dealing with Office 2007.
2 key problems arose.
After setting up a simple Ethernet network connecting the Vista computers I could not connect to SQL-Server Express in Windows Authentication mode via SQL Native Client and SQL Server ODBC drivers from another computer on the network (i could only connect locally); I could only connect to it from another machine using SQL Authentication mode, which is not my preference.
Secondly, I could not share the security file with more than one client of the network. The file seems to be locked exclusively by one client that first grabs the file, hence you cannot log on to software. This defeats clientserver idea. HEEEEELP.
A way round this was to have at least one computer on the network running XP (or any windows not Vista) and share the security file from it. I wish to know the reason for this behaviour on Vista.
As to the first problem of not being able to connect of SQL-Server Express 2005 via Windows Authentication mode from another machine on the network, I found the cause: The PASSWORD PROTECTED SHARING setting on Sharing and Discovery option for networking on Windows Vista.
When this setting is turn ON you cannot connect to the SQL-Server engine. The error Login failed for user ": Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection is given. When I turn off this setting, I immediately could log on. I have validated this on several setups and this seems to the consistent. PLEASE SHARED THIS With others.
Thanks Dr Folami

SQL Server Express With Business Intelligence Development Studio

I am working with an instance of SQL Server express. I have to create some reports and understand that I can use BI Developer studio to do this. I went through all of the installs, but BI Developer studio doesn't seem to have installed. I rerun the install program (From the sql express toolkit download on the MS web site).

Has anyone seen anything like this before? I really need to get this up and running to continue with the project.
