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).
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. --Mark Kamoski

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?
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
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.
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?
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'm trying to get the External Activation Sample to work on a shared hosting Sql Server. The error seems to indication that I might be able to enter my db un/pw to get it to work. Where in the code or app.xml can I provide credentials? Here's the EA log. Thanks!

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.
I am new to database. I have a website in a hosting environment and it uses sql server 2005 databases. I want to have a complete backup of my database in addition to the hosting company's routine backup. I want to write a program to automatically backup everything every night. And of couse have the ability to restored the whole database if necessary. How should I do it? Are there any tools exist that I can use? What is the best way to deal with backup/restore in hosting environment? Thanks!
i have sql server 2000 databse on shaired hosting i want to take backup of that database, how can it be done programitacally or any tools available there . i have limited access to database currently connecting through QueryAnalyzer on local m/c ,it is very time consuming +tedious task to do . i simple word i want to manage my database like one can manage through enterprise manager, how it can be done any tools available some what good functionality for managing database on remote server. or is there any way to take backup through coding (connecting 2 sql server databases). please healp me.
Is this possible? I can only seem to restore when the *.bak is on a local drive which is ridiculous. I'm sure this translates to other operations in addition to restoring databases...
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 SQL .bak generated by our existing hosting package at 1and1.com, I want to import that SQL .bak to our new hosting package at ixwebhosting.com.
ixwebhosting.com don't have a import feature in their control panel.
I have to maintain the SQL at ixwebhosting.com using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express since they don't have that feature in their cp. I don't see any import features in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express either.
How can I import it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express or another free GUI program?
I've hosted a website in a freehosting account which supports .net 2.0 and SqlServer 2005Express and they only gave me an ftp access which i can access my website, i found that there's the "App_Data" folder which i placed my database in.Now here's the message i get when i try to connect to the SQL Express DBAn attempt to attach an auto-named database for file I:DataWebqsh.eucipherasp_015f1bdd-1338-4a35-9873-b29232b472c9wwwApp_Datacipherasp.mdf failed.

I am trying to export from an SQL Server on a hosting company to my own computer using DTS. I'm new to SQL Server manipulations like this so please go easy on me...
I can't seem to manage to do this properly - If I select "Copy tables & data only" it will not copy the identity constraints and primary keys. If I select "copy all objects" it starts giving me permission issues which I cannot seem to resolve, because I guess the tables on the hosting server are owned by my username up there, but when they come to my computer they are orphant?
Isn't there an easy way to do this? It's a very simple database, tables and that's it, not even any stored procedures.
I told my client to use a particular host, or at least one that offers a database... they instead went with a friend of a friend that offers hosting as a reseller.
Now I'm the web developer for this huge site overhaul which requires a database with a host that doesnt offer it.
I'm new to databases... thats why I'm accustomed to using the simplicity of ipowerweb or mediatemple and their phpmyadmin interface.
Anyway... what do I do? Will a database hosted elsewhere work? If you know about this stuff, please help.. I may not be asking the right questions!
I have experience only designing an implementing DB in sql2000 but not too much administering.
My app is a Web Service that communicate with my DB.
The DB is in a hosting company, so I don€™t have too much permissions to play with.
The application have been the same for at least one year, no changes at all but recently my users complaint that the system was not working/responding.
I immediately thought about excessive load
When I went to query analyze and execute the command (sp_who), I saw that 173 processes where sleeping €“ awaiting command
that is the only thing I can imagine was the problem(not sure yet). I investigated and found the Kill process instruction but I was not able to run it because permission.
Based in this scenario How can I give a fast CPR to drain my DB and allow my user to work? Any link? Any sug?
Does anyone use One and One Internet (UK) for their hosting? I use them and when I published my site all membership feautures wouldn't work, I called the One and One support and they said that their servers only support SQL Databases if they were created using their own tool in their control panels. How would I get my site to use their database, I'm really not sure. If anyone else could help me out I'd be grateful. Kind Regards Mattie
hello 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. Thanks Nadeem
I will like to know the files i will load to a remote server if i want to host an sql database. let's use the northwind database for example, if i want to host it on hosting server what are the files i will host i mean i need a detailed procedure on how to go about it.
Hi all! One good thing about access databases is the ability to upload the .mdb file to a hosting server and not being charged for database space. How about MSDE? Does it require SQLServer hosting or can it be done just by uploading the database file? Thanks,Ricardo
Does anyone know where I can get SQL Server 2005 witness hosting? Our primary server is in Vermont and our DR site is in New Hampshire. I would like to set up a witness server somewhere off the east coast. I don't want to have to purchase a new server and pay big prices for colo.
Is there such a thing as witness hosting? Would someone be willing to host my witness and I can host yours?
I have a hosting package with network solutions. They tell me that i can only have one sql database... In my app_data folder on my computer web site i crerated, I have three of the main folders... does that mean that i have to merge all of those into one...
Another question, Since having many tables, functions etc how could i copy and paste if i have to merge those, because my express editon, i have no idea how to do it... and in visual web developer I'm not able to copy and paste between data folders??
I have been attempting to locate a hosting company that offers SQL Server 2005 in addition to Analysis & Reporting Services but have been unable to find a hosting company which does so without purchasing the entire server. Anyone know of a company?
I see < SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION LICENSE> it has "hosting services" (at 4.Scope of License ),(Now, English has been removed, but the Chinese Simplified were) it refers to what ?
it is means
1. Services Host -> supply app run environment, like IIS or 2.Server -> Waiting for the link (Server)
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
I have a server that i would like to use as a dedicated DB Server. It is running Win Server 2k3 and SQL Server 2005. The typical upstream bandwidth is anywhere from 384Kb/s to 700Kb/s. Is this enough to host multiple SQL Server 2005 DB's? The DB's will be used for database driven websites. Please let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks,
