Shared Hosting: Web Data Admin And Local Testing
Dec 18, 2004
I just recently added 30MB of SQL Server database space on my Share hosting account.
I want to put the SQL Web Data Administrator on the server but it is an MSI file and I cannot figure out how to install it.
Also, I will be testing my .Net pages on my local machine. How do I go about it without accessing the SQL Server on my host? I used MS Access before and I have a copy of both databases on my local machine and on the server. I'm thinking of using MSDE on my machine and I just change the connection string when I upload my code. Is this a good idea or is there a better alternative?
Thanks.

Hello
Maybe someone can suggest me some software which can be used for SQL 2005 shared hosting?
With database size limit, user number restriction and other features.

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...
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file... ..App_DataCommerceDB.mdf failed
...and I cannot find the issue.
Note that I have given Full-Permissions on root folder for the IUSR account and for the ASPNET account.
The full error message is below.
Anyway, do you have an suggestions?
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.

I'm currently on a shared hosting plan which has a SQL Server component to it.
At the moment, I'm on 2000. I have a DTS package that runs locally and does a backup of the remote database and backs that up using sequential file numbering.
I'd like to move to 2005, but I'm not sure quite how to replicate this process. Basically:
- I don't have access to the server as it's shared hosting
- I don't have the credentials for backups and stuff like that
- They only send backups on demand
- They don't perform regular backups on your data
- They won't have the backups saved to my web directory
If I:
- use import/export, which is almost the only thing I know I can use, I can only copy tables and views. I'd like to copy everything (SPs, Functions, ect)
The only thing I can come up with is software that would compare the structure and data and generate T-SQL to copy it over (ie. Apex SQL).
Is this my only hope on SQL 2005?

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

Hello,
I am an ASP.NET 2.0/SQL 2005 web developer, and I have run into a huge frustration for some time now that I can't seem to get past. My goal is to develop SQL databases for my costomers on my development machine, and then upload the completed database out to my host. I have not found a host that allows this yet. Some hosts do not allow remote SQL connections altogether, and the best hosts I have been able to find allow remote SQL connections, but do not allow SSIS or DTS packages to run to transfer database objects to the production server.
What does this mean? Well, I have to manually transfer or recreate individual stored procedures and recreate primary, foreign, and other table constraints. I cannot just run a DTS package to transfer the completed objects. So this means duplicating effort, changes for mistakes, and more server downtime during site upgrades. I have called so many host providers, and I haven't found one that can get me past this.
Also, I contacted Microsoft to ask about Licensing (thinking I would just lease a dedicated server), and the only option I can use is SPLA licensing. The catch, I have to lease the OS through SPLA as well, and all the hosts I have contacted put the OS on the server themselves. This means I would be paying for the OS twice.
Ideally, I would just love to find a shared web host package that I could use efficiently with my SQL development. Am I missing something? If anyone has any advice, please help! I would be so appreciative!!! Thanks.
Regards,
Jeremy

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?

Hey,
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!
David

I'm a web developer who writes transact-SQL to make my web applications run properly. I'm not real strong in other areas of SQL. Let me explain our set-up and then I'll explain what I want to do:
We have an ecommerce web site and all sales are saved in a SQL Server 2008 R2 database at our hosting company. We also have a local Windows 2012 network that has SQL Server 2014 Express installed.
Here is what I want to do:
I want to copy sales rows from the SQL Server 2008 database at our hosting company and save them in the SQL Server 2014 Express database on our local Windows 2012 server. I'd like to automate this if possible so that it happens each night perhaps. I know there is a way to schedule SQL jobs but I've never actually done this. I also would need to know how to attach to our hosting company DB as well as our local network DB.

Hi, I'm developing a website using VWD 2005 Express, which needs a Membership system and a products database. Using the VWD inherent Web Site Administration tool makes the membership set up easy but by default it creates a 'Local' SQL database in a folder named 'Apps_Data' in the VWD project. My question is: considering I will need to upload my web site to a Hosting Service, would it be better to change the default so that the membership systems, and the product database I need, are created in an SQL 'Server' database instead of a 'Local' database?
The hosting service I am considering using is having a bit of a problem understanding this question, I hope it makes sense to someone or am I asking a stupid question?
Regards
Sean.

I lost my database on my pc as I format my hard drive. Now, how I can get a copy of my ms sql server database from my hosting to work with my local pc? I need to have a local copy so that I can develop my site without internet connection. For your information, I used Hostforlife.eu hosting service. I have searched and tried many methods to do it, but no luck yet. For example, I created a backup on Hostforlife.eu and restore backup file on my pc, but nothing happens. Then I created a new database, and re-created its structure same as the one on Hostforlife, then I used the import wizard to import data from them to my pc. Again, nothing happens.

We are using Sql Server 2008 R2. We are planning to move to 2014 either through in-place o side-by-side. Mostly side-by-side.
Here first we want to test that 2014 and availability groups. First we are doing in dev box to test. Also we need asynchronous replica because just we need to use that as reporting server.
We want to take work load. For the dev boxes, the applications doesn't connect. Then in that case what the people will do.
If We take database backup from prod to that dev and run some queries in the loop and run the trace for some time and do either in-place migration or side-by-side migration and use the same back to restore and doing the running the same queries and compare this trace to previous trace will work?

extending the buffer pool onto an SSD drive that is shared ? For instance, if we had a mirrored system drive(The C logical partition) on SSD's, can we use the remaining space on that mirrored partition to extend my SQL 2014 buffer pool ? I understand that in this scenario, there is some competition for the I/O throughput between SQL Server's extended buffer pool and the OS. We intend to have the pagefile on a different disk, other than this specific SSD.

I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I'm trying to figure out how to copy a table(s) from my local database to my web hosting database. I know how to do it in 2000, but it's completely different now. Is this feature not allowed on SSMSE? If so, then how do I deploy database tables to a web host?Also, how do you add local database(s) to SSMSE? I tried to use 'attach database' in SSMSE and it wouldn't allow me to navigate to My Documents folder where the database resides. Thanks...

O what a place to be I started this Contract as an (Interim) for a new DBA role, for an application support Company last month & all was going well. The User Application is run via Citrix against multiple Hosted Sybase ASA Databases. I introduced SQL 2005 with Reporting Services as a mixed Data Mart Remote Query via ODBC Linked Servers setup. Because they had never had a DBA before the Data I was able to pull from over thirty seperate databases into one and present via Reporting Services has blown them away. And then one day the Senior Support Analyst told me he had put the main most important Sybase Database on a completely seperate domain he had created(with no Trust between the two) , because he was unable to secure the existing domain against unauhorized remote internet intrusion & Viruses. (I never liked the idea that hosted customers were domainusers on the Corporate network) To add insult to injury he then told me to install & maintain another SQL Box on the new domain, OK so far. I logged into the supoposed new box via citrix & then remote desktop, and to my disbelief he had the desktop locked down - no access to control panel or anything - he asked me why i needed access - I told him - he asked me why I need to have reboot priveleges - I told him. So now he's installed 2005 himself in the vain hope I can work without Local Admin privelages or need to unlock the Desktop - he certainly won't give me Domain Admin. I Just cannot believe I'm unable to persuade him to Unlock the Desktop & have even threatened to walk out unless he lets me do my Job. He probably does'nt like me but there can be absolutely no question about my abilities or accessing data that i should'nt. He's basically read a Deny by Default article and expects me to start of as a user with a locked desktop and then request & justify escalating my security from there. Is this possible ? Good Grief :eek: Any ideas what I should do ? Thanks GW

Hi,
The company I work for outsources all its non-development IT. So all windows servers are administered by an outside company. Lately we have purchased SQL Server 2005, along with a dedicated Windows Server 2003 server. I am the sole administrator of this SQL Server, and so have sysadmin rights. However because the outside company is responsible for all windows servers, they are very reluctant to grant me local administrator rights on the server. This has been causing problems, partly because I have to go through them for many simple requests (such as moving database files, or changing SQL Server configuration files), and partly because certain functionality doesn't seem to work for non-administrators (such as the use of Database Mail and full access to Reporting Services).
I want to challenge the decision and gain local admin rights to the server. Would anyone have further reasons why a sysadmin should also have local admin rights? Is this common practice, or are sysadmins often denied admin access to the server?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, Matt

Hi,
Re: SQL Server 2005
We have defined a local administrator to be the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services user, and is also the job step owner for some SSIS packages I am running.
My question is, isn't by default a local administrator ALSO granted sysadmin in SQL Server? According to this link, it seems to imply this:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx
However, I am having some permissions problems with the local adminstrator account (i.e. SQL Server agent account) when it runs the job. The error is that it doesn't have execute permissions on sp_dts_addlogentry.
How can this be, if it's granted sysadmin?
Thanks

Hi all,
what are the minimum required permissions for being allowed to deploy a report? When I try to deploy a report in BIDS I get the error message that my user has not sufficient rights for doing so.
Some key data for my configuration:
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 1
SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with Service Pack 1
I'm not a local administrator, but I have administration rights for SQL Server and Analysis Services
I'm in the Reporting Services' system administrator and system user groups
I can access http://localhost/Reports, but not http://localhost/ReportServer
I have access to the directory (incl. subdirectories) MSSQL.2, but not to MSSQL.1MSSQL and MSSQL3Reporting Services
I can't run the Reporting Services Configuration Tool (see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1565766&SiteID=1)
I can't connect to Reporting Services in SQL Server Management Studio
My question is (as I have already mentioned in the beginning): what are the minimum rights the IT administrator has to assign to my user so that I'll be able to deploy reports? Giving me local administrator rights is not possible.
Thanx in advance and kind regards,
Gerald
Update:
In the meantime I have found out, that I'm most probably not a member of the Publisher role. But although I am in the System Administrator role I cannot assign myself to this role. When going to http://localhost/Reports the required links are just not visible. Is this because I'm not a member of the groups SQLServer2005ReportServerUser$... and SQLServer2005ReportingServicesWebServerUser$... ?

I've a SQL server 2014 running on one of our server. We're in the process of implementing security steps for our databases. I've encrypted a column in one of the table in the database on the server. The issue is when I restore the backup on my local SQL server and run a query to decrypt the column data it gives me null values. On the other end when I decrypt the column data on the main server it works fine. I found a thread on this forum which states to do the following when restoring the encrypted database on different server.
USE [master];
GO
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'StrongPassword';
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY;
GO
select File_Name
, CONVERT(nvarchar,DECRYPTBYKEY(File_Name))
from [test].[dbo].[Orders_Customer]
I tried doing above still no luck.

Was wondering if there was a best practice minimum permissions for creating a SQL login to use when setting up a new shared Data source for SSRS report manager?
Something along the lines of them being a data read for the DB and permissions to update tempdb?
Would have thought it not advisable to have the login be able to update the main db...
