Uploading An SQL Server Express Database To A Server
Oct 8, 2006
I am new with Visual Web Developer SQL Express and for a start I have been using the VWDHosting.net (Trial hosting for VWD 2005 Express) with a test website using login and membership controls. I followed the excellent instruction in the User Guide (for transferring data and adapting the connectionstring) and it worked succesfully. However, I have problems getting the same test website installed with my hosting provider.
The VWDhosting.net has a special functionality for uploading the contents of a local database to a database created on the server. In the Restore database section is a field the "Restore database from SQL Server 2005 mdf file". After selecting in that field your local database, you can click the "Attach"-button and then the contents of the local database are transferred to the database on the server
.
With my hosting provider (using SQL Server 2000) I have to use the same procedure: creating a MS SQL database on the server and then transfer the contents of my local database.
How can I do this? (My hosting provider does not offer me a similar "Attach" button).
Do I have to use
SQL Server Management Studio?

Hello,
I would like some help in uploading a database from my harddrive to a server using sql server management studio express.
If I try to attach it to the server, this program only looks at the files on this server and not on my harddrive. So how can I copy a sql database to my folder on the server.
I am sure it must be a simple problem, but I've been bizzy with it for about a day now. So, please advice.
Rgds,
Wouter.

Hi All,
I have created my first database in SQL Server 2005 Express and would like to try putting it online.
I asked the web host to create an account. They gave me host name, database name, username and password.
The problem is that i dont know where i enter that information.
I cant find the answer in my books or online. The host said i needed MSSQL Enterprise manager.
Can i get this with the Express or do i need to pay for a different version of SQL Server? If Express has it, where do i find it please?
Any help much appreciated, as i'm completely lost!
Kind regards,
Justin

I am very frustrated. Everything works on the local host but when I upload to server I can login to the admin role I created, but when I try to access pages that have role priveleges I get the following error:
The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file.
The ASPNETDB.MDF database was uploaded using the Database Publishing Wizard.
Please help!

All right, I've got a small sample of database-driven code running nicely on my own computer using an MS SQL database with code something like this to connect to it. (passwords and user ID's changed to protect the innocent)
connect_String = _
"Data Source = mysource;User ID=joeblow;Password=monkey;database=Reservation"
db_conn = New SqlConnection(connect_String)
Now, I want it to run on a web server, but there doesn't seem to be any simple "click here to upload your database without tearing your hair out in frustration" button. Only an option to "add ODBC data source" which has the following fields:
data source name(dsn): ________
ODBC Driver Name: SQL Server (this value cannot be changed)
DSN Description: ________
Associated SQL Server:_________
Default Database Name:_________
Without any option to upload any database files, though if I go into file manager, I notice that there is an MSSQL folder, which I assume I should be uploading the database into. But which file(s) from my database should I upload and what should I fill the blanks above in with? Thanks in advance. Do I have to change the connection code?

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.

Hope someone can help with this.
i am trying to upload images from an asp.net or vb.net front end to a sql server db.
I can upload the image fine if I first save the image to a file and then upload but my question is whether I can upload the image without first saving the image file. What i would like to do is to capture an image with a digital camera and without saving it first (an extra step for the user), upload it to a sql server db.
Is this even possible.
Thank you,
Biirir

i have developed a website using asp.net, c# with SQL SERVER EXPRESS EDITION 2005. The database is being used both for retreival and updation purpose. the website is working accordingly when i m running it on my system, ie., data is getting retreived from the database and it is also getting updated on button click. But when i m uloading my site on the httpdocs folder of web server, connectivity with database is failing miserably, ie neither getting retreived from the database nor getting updated. The error message displayed by the web server is given underneath. i have used Grid view for displaying data from the database and Details view for updating the database.
i have used window authentication for connecting with the database.Please help me with finding out a solution for it. give me proper explanation and i need to do

Hi all,
Please bear with me because I am brand new to SQL Server, and I may not be using the correct wording to explain everything...
I`m using Access 97 to upload a table to a SQL Server 6.5 database. I also have SQL Enterprise Manager. The allocated space on the SQL Server for my database is 20 MB and the space for my database log file is 4 MB. The first time I tried to upload a table to the database, I got the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Can`t allocate space for object "syslogs` in database `testpropcontdb` because the `logsegment` segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment (#1105)
I went into the Enterprise Manager and right clicked on my database and selected edit. It shows that I have 19.89 of the 20 MB free, and all 4 MB of my log space free.
When I select GET EXTERNAL DATA -> LINK TABLES from the FILE menu in Access, and link to the table I just uploaded to SQL Server, the structure (field names and attributes) is there, even though I got that error message earlier. There is just no data being uploaded.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? I`ve been reading help files and searching the net, but I haven`t figured out what is causing this error message.
Thanks in advance for lending your expertise.

Client side:
1. my DSN is CMDB.dsn on a mapped network drive(only way for now that I get a connection)
2. My client does not fail to connect, but I am having a hard time
linking my database tables to each other. Through Access 03.
3. My client is remote
4. I can ping the server,
5. but I cannot telnet
6. My application is Access 2003,
7. I am on a different domain
9. I have table names that match,
10. I do not force encryption.
Server side:
1. SQL SERVER 2005
2. Standard Edition
3. TCPIP
4. The server starts fine
5. The SQL browser is enabled YES
6. Domain Account
7. Not applicable
8. NO
Platform:
1. Client runs Windows XP, Server runs Windows Server 2003
My question then is this: Does anyone know of code that can be used to import data from a CSV file to a server on a different domain?
This is tricky cause the connection is not really allowing this kind of access. Which is my next question: How do you get these two applications to connect?
I don't want to do it with ADP, and linking the tables I always seem to have to place the DSN on a mapped network drive to get results. Then after that I go
to link tables from the SQL Server and the tables I created there are no where to be found. Why is this happening? It gives me a list of System tables but none of my

When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Hi,
I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum.
Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it.
I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list.
As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?

Hi
I designed a package in SSIS that loads data from an Excel source into a oledb SQL database table.
The problem I have is that two of the columns that are supposed to be nvarchar type columns sometimes contain numerical strings. These values causes an error when 'Allow Null' is not set and loads as NULL if 'Allow Null' is set.
How can I force these values into the table?
I have a script transformation object in the package with this code:
If IsNumeric(Row.OCCode) Then
Row.ItemCode = CStr(Row.OCCode)
Else
Row.ItemCode = Row.OCCode
End If
ItemCode is of type unicode string and the column in the SQL DB Table it's mapped to is of type nvarchar

Okay, I've read massive topics on ClickOnce, and embedded database applications, etc, etc.
I need a handful of good suggestions how I can create a deployment package, to get my sql express database onto a SQL Express server.
The database will need to be multi-user, because I am also developing a WinForms application to connect to the SQL Express database.
I'm thinking I need to use some automated scripting features, to generate scripts for the database once I am done (unless you have a better suggestion).
After that, I need to know what to do with those scripts, and how can I create a setup / deployment packages to run those scripts against a SQL Express server.
The other alterntative obviously is to copy my sql express database, and run an attach command. This will work the first time, only because this will have been the first deployment of this database.
Please keep in mind when answering this question, that I will not be embedding the database, and as far as I understand ClickOnce is a feature for use with embedded databases or user instance databases (not sure).

Hi, I'm completely new to SQL Server and ASP.NET, so please bear with me on my learning curve! I've installed Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server Express (on the same PC). I then used Web Developer Express to successfully create a new database with a couple of tables in it. So far so good. I then installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the same PC and tried to connect to my new database. The connection to the SQL Server instance appears to work OK (using Windows Authentication) but I can't see the database I previously created. All I can see are the System Databases. Does anyone know what the solution might be?

I run setup using GUI. It upgrades all components of the existing installation w/out any problems except the last component. That is, it proceeds with the installation of SQL Server Database Serices and at the end fails to shut down the SQL Server and aborts the installation reporting the following:
"Service 'Computer_NameSQLEXPRESS' could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services. The error code is (16386)".
I am running Windows XP SP2 with both .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 installed on it. I am logged in as a system administrator.
The most puzzling to me things are:
- the setup starts AND STOPS w/out any problems SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server VSS Writer (thus finding enough privileges for both).
- the setup starts the SQL Server w/out any problems (thus it finds enough privileges to START A SYSTEM SERVICE) and then fails as described above 'lucking privileges".
During installation before failing the setup displays following:
"Run as Normal User. RANU instance Shutdwon in progress: MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS". The "normal user" puzzles me too, unless the SQL Server itself is meant here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can provide the installation log file as well.
Thanks.

I have two problems on creating new SQL server database in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express using SQL server 2005 Express.
The 1st problem: (It is resolved)
After installed SQL Server 2005 express and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. When I tried to create a SQL server database in VWD the following error occurred:
"connection to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL server express 2005 to function properly. please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=49251"
I was stuck with this problem for few days. I did several times of install/reinstall of VWPExpress and SQL server Express, made very sure following proper de-installation sequence as specified in the release readme. But it did not resolve the problem.
Latter I found out that if I login with another Windows XP user account, I don't get the problem.
Changing the security authority of XP file systems and IIS didn't help.
And to prove that I was doing the installation correctly, I tried a new installation of the VWDExpress with SQL server 2005 express in another machine, it worked and I could create new empty SQL database.
After 2 days of frustrating changing of options, parameters, server names, messing with the registry etc.... Finally, I found a way to overcome this problem.
The solution is:
In Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, select:
Tools -> Options -> Database Tools -> Data Connections,
Change the setting: "SQL Server Instance Name (blank for default)" to "SQLEXPRESS". (where SQLEXPRESS is the default server instance name)
That solved this 1st problem.
I still don't know the exact reason for this problem. But I recalled I did installed the VWDExpress few weeks ago, I might have installed it without selecting SQL server 2005 express at that point. I guess the subsequent install/re-install did not clean up those junk in the registry.
I still have the 2nd problem:
The "Create new SQL database..." option is always grayed out when I right click on the Data connections in the "Database Explorer" tab.
I have a bypass for this difficulty for time being:
I have to do it by using the "Add connection....", put in the server name: "myserver/SQLEXPRESS" and a new database name.
Any input form anyone ? Appreciated!

Hi all,
In the last one and half years, I used the Northwind Database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to learn the programming of SqlConnections, Data sources, Database Exploere, ADO.NET 2.0, etc. via VB 2005 Express.
The Northwind Database in my SSMSE got lost very often, but I was not aware of it. How can I know where the Northwind Database is used or processed by my VB 2005 Express projects that were the examples of some tutorial books or my trial projects? How can I release the Northwind Database back to my SSMSE from the VB 2005 Express projects? Please help and advise.

Hi!
I'm a beginner w ith SQL Express and am having some problems. I am using 2005 SP1 and installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express as well. I have a backup from a SQL Server 7.0 database that I am trying to restore into my database using the management studio. When I try to restore from the file into my database, I get the error,
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of the system database on the device D:GMBeta2Local.bak cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server (7.00.1063) than this server (9.00.3033). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)

Neither of the links provide any more information and I'm sure that I'm missing a step out. I've tried scripting the existing database and then running the script against the new database, but I can't get that to work either - these blooming newbies!
Please help!
Thanks very much.
