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
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 developing a web site with asp.net 2.0 and c#, using Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ( I am still learning about these technologies and languages ). I transferred my web site files to a new computer. I created a empty SQL database called "SiteData.mdf", I stopped the SQL server and then I replaced this database with a previous one with the same name and already populated with data. I used this maneuver in order to avoid having to insert all data again. The web site works fine when running inside Visual Studio, however when I try to run it in its published format it gives this error message: Server Error in '/MA' Application. Cannot open database "SiteData" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'CENTAURUSASPNET'. I also observed that inside the SQL Server Management Studio, in the database properties, it shows "ETHERASPNET" as User or Roles ( however "ETHERASPNET" was created using the old computer's name [ or should I say domain ? ]) but the permissions list correctly displays the new name "CENTAURUSASPNET". I think that I, probably, should create a new user using the name "CENTAURUSASPNET" because it would use the name of the new computer ( or domain ) and then I should delete the old user name. Actually I tried to do that but I get the message "An object named ‘CENTAURUSASPNET' cannot be found". So, 1) What should I do to get the database being connected with the published web site ( note: I am publishing it in my own computer for awhile ) ? 2) How do I create the new user name "CENTAURUSASPNET" ? 3) I also would like to know why the name of the database in the Server Explorer panel of VS appears as "centaurus.SiteData.dbo" -while- inside the Object Explorer panel of the SQL Server Management Studio it appears simply as "SiteData" ?

I have contracted a webproject to be done. My client allready has a website. I need to create another website that replace the existing one with the new look. This is the problem. The old website has a Database that is associated with user registration & all other data of the company. So, I need to implement the same database to the new website which I am going to develop.
In this case, how can I start? can I add a SQL express databse to the new project and import the data while the development phase? or should I use a SQL server installed while developing the site?
Please give me an easy to understanable reply that I can deal with the old database?
I have a vb.net web page which I created (a shopping cart). I created this site using vb.net 1.1 and SQL 2000 on my laptop. On my laptop everything works properly, but when I tried moving it to GoDaddy (http://currahee3-506.org/px/default.aspx). In the code, each query to the SQL server is done using stored procedures. When you first go the page, a drop down is presented. When you select "Shirt" from the category drop down. A second drop down menu is then displayed and will let you select what type of shirt you are interested in purchasing. Select Polo Shirt Without Pocket. Upon doing so, I receive an error message:

I've downloaded a copy of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express from MS. Can this product be used to query an SQL database at a web site. Conversely, is there a command line utility for running SELECT statement queries on my remote web site database?
Greetings,I am in the process of installing a SQL database at a customerlocation. I have determined that there are 3 ways to do this, and Iwanted to know which is the best of the 3.1 Install From Script.In this method I create the database and its objects in scripts thatare run via osql utility on the SQL server machine. For loading anyinitial data that I need in the database I also run bcp commands.2 Install from a backupIn this method I created an empty database on the SQL server, and thenrestore over it the database from a backup of the database that I needto deploy. Then I add or re-attach the users for the database. Iperform all of these operations using osql as well.3 Install by attaching the data files.In this method I created an empty database on the SQL server, and thenI attach the data files to the database using the sp_attach procedure.Then I add or re-attach the users for the database. I perform all ofthese operations using osql as well.Although it is no problem for me to use any of these methods, I wantedto know from you veterans out there what the best practices are. Andalso if there are any unseen hazards for each method above. Or if Iam totally off-the-target, and there is another method that is thepreferred way.Thanks in Advance,roger
I have been working with Visual Studio 2005 and the Personal Web Site Starter Kit. All is well and working. My problem is that after the database is updated (as in uploading photos and album creation) and the original web site is edited and republished, the web site database is overwritten and all the work is lost. What is the proceedure to either copy the web database to the development site on my computer so updates will not be lost, or a method of publishing that will not loose the up to date content on the web server? I would much prefer to be able to copy the database to my development computer as adding tables to the database is something that needs to be done. Any help on this would be appreciated.

I have an sql script that I ran on my local system using osql.

Onlythe hoster does not allow the running of osql.How can I create my sql server database on my shared hoster site?Can I save and restore my database somehow?Is there a stored procedure I can run which will run the .sql scriptfile?thanks,-Steve
I am very new to SQL Server and am just starting to look into replication as a possible solution to a problem I have. I have a local database which will be running on either MSDE or SQL Express 2005. I have a database on a webserver running SQL Server 2005 Standard which I wish to keep as an exact copy of the MSDE/Express one. If data is changed in the local db then I want the webserver db to be updated with this data, preferably as the change occurs, but it could be on an hourly schedule if required.
If data in the webserver db is altered then I do not wish for it to update the local db, but I would like it to be assumed that the change is erroneous and reset the item to whatever exists in the local db. In other words, should a table be erroneously dropped or something from the webserver db then the table would be recreated when it syncs with the local db (rather than propogating the change back to the local db and thus losing local data).
Basically I want the web db to be an exact mirror of the local db as often as possible. Given that the webserver is running SQL Server 2005 Standard and the local machine will be running either MSDE or SQL EXPRESS, is this achievable and what would be the best way of achieving it? Should I use merge replication or database mirroring? I have succeeded in getting 1-directional merge replication working by setting the webserver up as a publisher and distributor and setting up a push merge subscription on the local machine with an ExchangeType of 1. However, this won't correct the data in the web db if it is compromised until it is altered locally.
It crossed my mind that I could write a small application to utilise tablediff to compare each table in the DBs and get it to correct the web db if required on a regular basis. Would this be a silly approach?
VWD 2005 Express. Visual Basic. Sql Server 2005. I am trying to establish a connection to a SQL database. The connection (and all other database reads and writes) work fine in debug and in "view in browser" from VWD. I am running the VWD on the same server that hosts the site. When on my server (Windows 2003 Server) under IIS, the connection attempt times out. Below is the code that is failing (only on the server when deployed): Private Shared Sub OpenConn(ByVal cmd As SqlCommand, ByVal Success As Boolean) Dim conn As New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("GoodNews_IntranetConnectionString").ToString) 'The connection string resolves to ("Data Source=HQSERVERHQSERVER;Initial Catalog=GoodNews_Intranet;Integrated Security=True" Try conn.Open() cmd.Connection = conn Success = TrueCatch ex As Exception Success = False End Try End Sub
I am trying to add a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Database to my Web Site. But I am unablr to do so.
I am getting the following error: {"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)"} I am unable to understand what exactly is the problem. Pls Help me out. Thanx In Advance.
I have installed SSRS 2012 Standard Edition in our DR site. We replicate over the reporting server databases over from our Production server via storage replication. It is on a different server than the reporting service. When I configure the SSRS in DR it is still seeing the SSRS from our Production server and tries to make it a scale out deployment which it is obviously not allowed to be because of the edition.Is there something in the database itself I need to change so it doesn't think the production server is still connecting?
On my VWD 2005 Express, I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express databases in the App_Data folder.I kind of remember these 2 databases were installed from Wrox web site or a zip file. Now we still useSQL Server 2000 databases for our ASP.net applications. I have downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express.These 2 databases in the App_Data folder seem to work fine although I can not see them from theManagement Studio Express. My question is: How do I 'manually' create a new SQL Server 2005 database into the App_Data folder? TIA,Jeffrey
I have my first small SQl Server 2005 database developed on my localserver and I have also its equivalent as an online database.I wish to update the local database (using and asp.net interface) andthen to upload the data (at least the amended data, but given thesmall size all data should be no trouble) to the online database.I think replication is the straight answer but I have no experience ofthis and I am wondering what else I might use which might be lesscomplicated. One solution is DTS (using SQL 2000 terms) but i am notsure if I can set this up (1) to overwrite existing tables and (2) notto seemingly remove identity attributes from fields set as identities.I know there are other possibilities but I would be glad of advice asto the likely best method for a small database updated perhaps onceweekly or at less frequent intervals,Best wishes, John Morgan
How do I insert data that I have collected in a local database onto a table on my online ie hosted database which is on a different server?
At the moment I am just uploading all the data to the hosted DB but this is wasting bandwith as only a small percentage of data is actually selected and used.
I thought that if i used a local DB and then update the table on my hosted DB this would be much more efficient, but I am not sure how to write the SQL code to do this!
I got thrown into a new project that is going to require me to update an SQL server database tables from an Access table on the backend of an Oracle database on another server. At the end of each day the Access dabase will be updated from the Oracle database.
What I need to do, is when the Access database is updated I need to have the table in the SQL database automaticaly updated. When a new record is added to the Access table I need the new record added to the SQL table. When a record is deleted in the Access table I need to keep that record in the SQL table and set a field to a value (such as 0). And when a record is updated in Access, have it updated in SQL.
Needless to say this is a bit out of my area and not sure how to accomplish this.
i have sql 2005 installed on my personal machine, but our server has sql 2000 on it. the structure of my database was made on the server, but i'm not sure how to update the server copy from my local copy. when i try to export my data from my local machine to the server (or import from my local machine to the server), i get pre-execute errors.
roughly every other week, i'll need to be able to update the server version from my local version, so i'm trying to find the most efficient method. what is the best way to update a 2000 database from a 2005 database? it doesn't matter if i append or overwrite, but i do use identity fields. the error i get when trying to use the import/export wizard is:
- Pre-execute (Error)
