Hi:
I have a site that is getting close to production. I am using SQL Server 2005 express and VWD express. Up to this point, I have been updating the live server by deleting the file and copying the MDF file from my development machine in its place. This clearly won't work once the site goes live - but I still expect to be doing a lot of upgrading of stored procedures etc.
Can someone point me to a resource or make any suggestions that would help me in this regard?
Thanks,
Roger Swetnam
I am wondering how some of you update your database once it is already been in use. So take for example you have a few tables and users can enter data into the site. Now suppose you either add tables to the db or you add fields to an existing table. I am using sql express 2005 and just want to copy the db over with the copy website but it would overwrite any data users entered.Is there any easy solutions or suggestions for this.Thanks
I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I have created a package to load data from a flat delimited file to a database table. The initial load has worked. However, in the future, I will have flat files used to update the table. Some of the records will need to be inserted and some will need to update existing rows. I am trying to do this from SSIS. However, I am very lost as to how to do this.
How do you make a live link in SQL 7 to another database? I currently do such things in Access 97 but how do you do it in SQL? I just want to keep a permanent live link to a table in another database.
Hi, A problem................. Actualy in my local the work is fine.. when i shifted the files to live... it is saying invalid column name ,even though iam having that column in the table..... when i had executed the query in live it is working... The database to which iam connecting is also correct.
Can someone write for me an example query that would select all the constraints that are applied to specific table?
something like:
SELECT FieldThatHasConstraint, FieldTableName, TableToWhitchThisFieldHasConstraint, FieldOfTableToWhitchThisFieldHasConstraint TypeOfConstraint FROM ??? WHERE TableThatIWantToSearchForConstraints='myTable'
I am looking for a good introduction into the handling of certificates in SQL 2005.
I need to sign a procedure to allow it to access a dm view. I do understand the theory and the syntax, but I have trouble coming up with an easy but still secure way to create these certificates on all customer servers without allowing misuse. All articles I could find are going through creating a new database, setting up a certificate with or without password, signing an example proc and then dropping the database. Non seems to care about the problems that occur later on during the life of a certificate.
I'm trying to configure log shipping When I retore the full disk dump of my databaseto my standby server, I need to be able to go in and drop and recreate several user logins(so they can do reports, read-only). Once I do this though, I will be unable to restore T-logs, right?
Anyone know a way to get it back into a read only state and able to accept T-log restores? Thanks.
I need to create a DB version upgrade schema on client site that will preserve the existing data. Provide the user with a patch that he can run on his database that wiil apply changes to his DB structure and keep the old data. One approach that I am thinking of is to create a differential DB patch - a and apply that to the client database. Is there any strategy any algorithm to do that. Can it be automated? If there any accomplishments or approaches known on the subject? I would greatly appreciate any ideas you can come up with.
I have a sql express database with a couple tables of information. I have a user modifying one of these tables with a data access page using Office Web Controls.
To backtrack a bit, the sql db used to be an access db. The same user modifying the data the same way. I also had a asp page making odbc calls to the access db to lookup information. But if the data access page was open, the odbc page would error. So i moved the data to sql.
Now, I'm getting ready to setup an application to make odbc calls to the sql db. I still want the user to modify the data using the DAP. Should I allow the user to modify the live data used for the app or should I make a copy of the data everytime its updated?
Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but I'm pretty strapped for time...
I have two tables: [photos] and [photoFolders]
[photoFolders] contains information about photo albums on the site im creating. The information in [photos] lists information about all photos along with which [photoFolder] they belong. When the user logs in, I want to present a list of all 'folders' in their name along with the TOP image with the corresponding folderId...

I have issues around forwarding message being dropped because they exceed the forwarding message time to live.
I cannot find anything in BOL or the net regarding changing the message time to live value to be higher, does anyone know where i change this setting ?
We€™re doing a website for a TV station, and they want to have a live TV broadcast on their website, our experience is basically in CMS and portal solutions, but we never had any experience in live streaming, so this is all new to us, so we€™re looking for a technical and financial proposal with your suggestions and recommendations, this is the details of the project with some of the inquiries we have: -The signal is SDI (Pal 25 fps) -The output (online streaming) 15 fps -The user will have two options to view the movie in: 1. Low: 56K 2. High: 300K -The video should come within a customized designed page, probably as a code we can place inside an html table€™s cell, not as a link for external link -We€™re expecting about 200 users for the video each month; each user€™s logon time expected 10 min. -We have a Red hat Linux on our server that will host the site, and we use php/MySql technology.
Inquires: 1. Why Windows media is better then Real in terms of performance, can you provide us with a comparison table to include it to our client? 2. If we choose Windows media, what are the requirements we need to have, form both; the TV station side, and in our Linux server? And how much would it cost? 4. Is there any hardware required from the TV station side such as DVR, or some sort of encoder, if so; what€™s you€™re recommendations (type/ brand), please note that this is a TV station and it needs a high quality professional hardware 5. How (and this is probably the most ambiguous task) 5.1. Do you broadcast the digital signal coming from the encoder (I guess) to the server? 5.2. And then place this signal on a PHP page? Do you give us a link to embed in our code? 6. If we choose to host the live streaming on a separated server and include the URL in our code, would that still required from our server to support Windows media, or it doesn€™t matter as long as the video streaming is hosted on a Windows streaming server 7. How much disk space does it need to host a live streaming (with the details mentioned above)?
We would really appreciate your comments and suggestions, as this is our 1st time to dealing with live streaming.
I moved one of the ssis packages from dev to prod. Did the same for the configuration file which contains the connectionstring. Now I would like to run the package in live but the error is: Description: The configuration file name "S:ImportsTradesEnvironment.dtsConfig" is not valid. Check the configuration file name. The file does indeed exist and the connectionstring has the correct string. Any thoughts please?
I'm developing a web app using ASP.NET and SQL Server 2005 Express. So far it's all been on my local computer, it hasn't gone live yet, so if I need to add a column to a table or make some other schema change I just do it right in Visual Studio, nice and simple. If I have to delete all the old content and start over, no problem. When I deploy it to a staging server I just overwrite the existing file with my new one, losing its data in the process. But soon enough I'll be deploying this to a public web server, there will be real live data in the db, people using it when I need to make updates.
What are some common strategies for updating the schema of a database on a live server?
It's obvious that when I need to update the db I'll have to shut down the site temporarily. But my biggest question is how to keep the existing data from the live db? I obviously can't overwrite it with my local copy. I want to overwrite its schema, without touching its data. How's that done?
I am experiencing a situation where certain functions work perfectly when I run it on my local machine under MVS, but when I upload it to the server, then it does not?! Here is an example: I am using a drop down box (in a FormView) that is databound in an online submission form. When I run the application in MVS, then I can edit the records by opening the form, and selection the new value in the drop down list. The new value is then also saved to the database when I hit the update button. When I upload the code to the server, then the drop down list shows the correct information (so the databinding to the control seem to work correctly), but the new value is not saved to the database. Here is the code for the drop down list: "DropDownList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3"DataTextField="UserName" DataValueField="UserId" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("UserId") %>'CssClass="text">"SqlDataSource3" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocalSqlServer %>"SelectCommand="SELECT [UserName], [UserId] FROM [vw_aspnet_Users] ORDER BY [UserName]"> Here is the code updating the database with the record (I have removed some records as well as the Insert and Delete parts): <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:tourism_connect1 %>"UpdateCommand="UPDATE Resorts SET typeid = @typeid, destrictid = @destrictid, UserId = @UserId, WHERE (resortid = @resortid)"OnInserted="SqlDataSource1_Inserted"> <UpdateParameters><asp:Parameter Name="typeid" /><asp:Parameter Name="destrictid" /><asp:Parameter Name="UserId" /><asp:Parameter Name="resortid" /></UpdateParameters></asp:SqlDataSource> What I can mention further, is that if I connect to the database that is on the live server (so the application runs in MVS on my local machine, but it then retrieves the info from the online database), then it also works fine. It is just giving this issue when the online application is trying to update the values. There is also no errors during the process. I will appreciate any advise on how to overcome this, as I really do not know where to look anymore... Thanks in advance! Regards Jan
Hello, I have my local development evrioment and my live webserver in colo. The two different machinces both have SQL2005 and copies of roughly the same database. I use the one for developement and the other obviously for production. Currently I read in different connection strings from my web.config file for my live version v my development version so I can have different database names and connection strings. I'm looking at moving to LINQ, but I can't figure out how I'd achive an equivelent flexibility as database names and connection strings seem to be hardcoded in to the class using it's designer. Obviously if modifing this wasn't possible, nobody would be using LINQ, so how do I work around this? Thanks, Joel Barsotti
I have a problem in that I have a live SQL 7.0 server as a back end to a web server for a large company in Germany and of course we also have a development server locally which is more or less the same apart from data. The ASP developers here want to upload some data to the live server and also download live data from the live server so that we have more or less the same data on both systems.
I have thought about doing this with DTS adn writing SQL scripts to merge the tables and then upload back to the live server etc. but before I do I wondered if anyone had experience of doing this before (I am sure) and could either tell me what are the best methods or package to do or point me or mail me an article that covers this sort of thing.
Of course extreme paranioa creeps in at the thought of copying down large tables from the live server etc. etc. so if anyone can help - great!
At Sql Server Live, I saw Sharon Dooley using the debugger in Query Analyzer, but now that I've tried it I can't step an sp, instead, I get....Quote:
SP debugging may not work properly if you log on as 'Local System account' while SQL Server is configured to run as a service. You can open Event Viwer to see details.
Do you wish to continue?

This might sound very dumb, but here goes.. How does one upload a MS SQL database or restore this to your live environment. Do I just FTP, publish with SQL itself or use some or other tool.
Ive been running a ms sql 2000 database on a 1gz, 512mb ram machine for several months with no real problem.
However lately its been taking upwards of 2 seconds just to connect...
Im on windows 2003 with iis 6 and connecting like so:
SET MyConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") MyConn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;UID=x;Password=x;Initial Catalog=x;Data Source=127.0.0.1"
Most queries are opening in a matter of milliseconds, how ever the occasional one will take upto a second to complete. The queries are very simple update and select statements. (UPDATE Stats SET Page_Views = Page_Views + 1, Page_Views_Daily = Page_Views_Daily + 1) etc...
Please can someone help me with a problem im having.
I have a site which allows users to place adverts, they can place as many as they like.
In dreamweaver I have managed to set up a site which now works fine in testing (early stages), a user can log in with "user" and "password".
I wowuld like to know how it can be done so that when a user logs in, it shows them how many adverts they have running. Example: Live adverts = "?"
I can only get as far as knowing that I need to use "count" in the command, how do I do it so it shows only the advertiser who has logged in their results
I've just installed Windows Live Messenger on my PC. But it keeps telling me there is a problem with the connection, and gives me the code 80072ee7.
Althought the software says I'm online, I don't seem able to see any of my contacts online or send them instant messages.
I have worked my way through the trouble-shooting advice in the help file and none of that seems to work. My ISP is Orange. I use their broadband service with Explorer with no problems at all.
Please could you suggest what the code above means, and what I can do to overcome the problem? I'm not very computer-literate, so a simple explanation would be much appreciated.
I need to restart (becouse of the Database Mail :( ) SQL Server Agent on a live server which acts as a distributor for a lot of replications. I know that it shouldn't cause any problem, but I want to confirm that it want couse a subscriptions to be reinitiated.
This is a bit confusing but here goes: I need to access data in SAP via OLE DB. I can't go direct to the back end database (Oracle), we have to use RFC or BAPI calls to access the SAP data. That's part works, we have a DLL that accesses the SAP data we need.
I haven written a Windows program in Visual Studio 2005. This program stores data in and retrieves data from a SQL Express database. The customer is starting to use the program and filling the database with data. However the program is still under construction (new functionality will be added) and so is the database (new tables, views etc. will be added).
Of course I could send the customer the new database, but than all data already entered will be lost.....
I'm thinking about using the SQL Management Studio Express and VS2005 to connect remotely to the database (a VPN connection is availabe) but worry about performance issues.... Or should I use some kind of replication / synchronization and how, because this is new to me.
I have a live SQL 2005 database that has ntext fields, when the ntext fields go over 4000 chars the record can no longer be edited. It throws a string or binary data would be truncated error. I tried turning text in row OFF, but it did not work. Can anyone forsee any problems with changing the ntext fields to nvarchar(max) in the live database? Also, I came across sp_tableoption N'MyTable', 'large value types out of row', 'ON', does this work for ntext also? sp_tableoption N'MyTable', 'text in row', 'OFF' did not do anything.Any help would be appreciated.
I have created a site using VWDExpress and now that I’ve finished testing have moved it over to the server which runs SQLServer 2000. Part of the site requires login, so I created the membership using the ASP.net web configuration tool and when testing locally worked well. Now though that I’ve copied the web site over, when I try to log in I get the error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified
Obviously its some sort of configuration issue, but I don’t know what. What do I have to change to make this work from a test machine to a live server? Thanks
hi. I would wish to know whether it is possible for me to program the code from html or aspx ( from web hosting server ) to our office intranet database which is window server 2005? I had tried to google for more info but there are too complicated thing for me to understand. Actually i am doing the web form feedback form from the website for the public to fill in and submit. i am using the mysql from web server to store the records from the feedback form. We have another database in our server, ms server 2005 to store records in the intranet office only. i need to get the records from mysql to intranet database. i don`t think there is a automated scripting which allow u to auto update the intranet database from mysql( web server ) So i thought of one thing . program html or aspx to insert records directly to our database intranet . but how ? I appreciated that. Regards newbie on aspnet.
