Using SQL Server To Run Social Networking Website
Mar 17, 2008
I am currently using SQL Server 2005 Express to run a social networking website on a dedicated server (Windows Server 2003, code is written in ASP.net). Obviously express is too limited to run this site, but for now I am still getting the site operational so the demands are low. Soon I will begin advertising and adding many users to the site - can anyone recommend a version of SQL Server that I would need? My programmers say I should go with enterprise, but that seems overkill (and my hosting provider - theplanet.com does not even offer it). Would workgroup be enough, or should I go with standard edition?
To be honest I do not trust my programmers experience with SQL server which is why I am asking for help here (they are outsourced from India, and I am becoming more and more convinced that I need an onshore IT manager for them - finding that is another issue...). Also, are there built in backup features with SQL Server? My programmers told me recently that they will need to put in significant work to setup a backup system, but it seems to me like one might already be built in.
Thanks for your help,
Greg

Hi all,
We have a small office network consisting of 6 workstations and a server. I want to know if it is possible to be able to run sql server from the workstations and host the created sql databases on the server rather than an individual pc? If so how do i do this?

I am using the personal edition of sql server 2000 and i have a number of databases stored on the harddrive, how would i set up a connection with other PC's to be able to view/modify/delete the data through an access 2000 front end. The other PC's will not have SQL server on them but will have Access 2000, they will need to go via the network which is non-microsoft compliant.
Thank you very much for you help it would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I want a few tips on how to go about designing a schema for multi parent hierarchical tree structure.
Will this work in large scale, like Social Networking
how do we generally go about designing for Social Networks?
What could be the optimal architecture?

Hi, i have a data base in SQL 2005 and i it has many tables with confidencial information Like Social Security numbers, Credit card Numbers, etc. And i would like to encrypt this information or make something to make this info invisible to any hacker, or any person that logs on the server.
Here are the limitations:
1 - I cant make any changes in the front end, so if i encrypt the data, I have to make all the modifications in the database, and if the front end needs some encrypted information, the database should dencrypt it.
Any one has any idea ???
Best Regards.

I've written a program for one of my clients, and they are making alot of changes. Typically when I make a change, I have to go into the office and re-install the updates to every system that uses the application. I would like ot be able to install the application in a central location, and then run shortcuts to everyones PC so when I update the application I just have to install it in one place. How can I do this? Also they clients are running a windows domain in the office. How can I accomplish this task?

I have a network of all win2000 machines. The server is win2000 and is a domain controller running sql 2000. I've been having intermittent problems with our software staying connected to sql and found that installing the sql client networking package fixes it. The problem I'm having is that users with admin rights work just fine, but users with just user rights aren't. I set up client neworking by moving named pipes above tcp and setting the alias to the sql server but the user machines doesn't remember the alias.
Here's a list of what I've tried:
log in as admin and enter alias
create .reg file of proper registry settings and import but got a key is in use error, cannot import registry
created shortcut to cmd and set shortcut to run as diff user, log in as admin, run .reg file, imports fine, alias still missing in user computer.
Any ideas what might make the alias not stick? The users cannot install software and there might be some other security setting or restriction keeping it from sticking but I have yet to find it.

hi all.
In my SSIS project, i have to retrieve data from an oracle 10g database. On my personal laptop it works, but on our test-env i get the error below, when i try to test my connection to the oracle datasource.
Could this because i have oracle XE installed yet on my personal laptop, and it is not installed on the computer of our test environment where the SSIS runs? If that's the reason, it sounds very strange, because it would mean i have to install an oracle environment also on the computer with SSIS, just to make a connection to another oracle server...
Error:
TITLE: Connection Manager
------------------------------
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.
Provider is unable to function until these components are installed.

Since from using my local host to view my website, I am assuming I already have SQL Server installed on my computer? Is it possible to have users access my website files directly onto there own computer, say if they type my ip address or domain name into their address bar? What I am actually wanting to do is to host my website from my home computer... Any ideas, or good slash easy to understand articles on how to do this?

Hi all
Hope you can help.
I've been using MS Access as a backend content server on websites for some time. However, I want to move to Sql Server but am struggling a bit with some of the concepts.
I want two types of users of the website.
1 User who can view data as a iusr_guest type user (no login)
2 can view/ edit data as a datawriter (website administrator).
With Access I would simply have a table or another db containing user info. If a user logged in and was accepted then a IIS user session would be created and they could edit the db.
Any views on how this type of simple db access should be managed using sql server?
best regards

Where can I further educate myself on this subject?
Right off from the start I would assume that installing SQL Server 2000 or 2005 on Windows Server 2003 that is set up as a web server hosting a website would be against "best practices." Is my assumption right?
Common sense tells me to not to host a website on a pc that is also hosting my database.

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,
I have a website where the user uploads DBF files and then i am calling a sproc to scrub the data and put them from the staging database to the production database. If the folder size small may be less that 6 it transfers the data from the staging database to the production.. But if the size of the folder is big.. more the 6 mb i get an timeout exception.. But i know the data is been put in few tables in the production databse..
for eg... if the size of the file is 33mb it takes around 15 mins or so for the sproc to process . I have tried setting the connect and commd timeout whcih has not helped.. I tried increasing the server.script time and it fails too..
this is the error in my event viewer
Error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Hi, I'm rather new here, but I would like to add the question here
since this project encompasses a lot of areas of ASP.NET (Visual Studio
2005).
My project is about a site which is heavily based on Search Option. So
basically, users will just have to fill in the forms, click search and
it will search throughout the database. For
example...
The website is about a property listing. The database (based on SQL
Server, can be created right through the Visual Studio 2005) consists
of these attributes: ID, Property Name, Property Location, Property
Cost. The user may search based on Name, Location and Cost. For the
cost, there are two forms to fill: the lowest cost allowed and the
highest cost allowed.All
these are put on the Master Page (Located on the top). When the button
Search is clicked, it will display the records that match the forms
filled, in the main page located below the Master Page.If anyone can help me with this, I'll be very grateful. Thank you very much.

Hi there,
I have a question which I put the company that host my website but I didnt get a conclusive answer. Maybe someone here will be able to advise or help me with my situation.
I want to build a database that I will run on my local server and the front end of this will be run using a windows application. I have a website which I run the database on the remote server. What I would like to do is to be able to synchronize certain tables between the two databases (such as updating products table, or orders table). I am using sql server 2005 and I am using the sql server management studio to access my database on the remote server. I did notice there is a synchronzie button. I also came across some 3rd party tools. Not sure if that is the way to go.
If anyone as done this before or can give me any suggestions, I would be delighted.
Thanks
Anthony

Hi all,
I am stuck with a problem using ASP.Net website. I created a website which accesses a database table in SQL Server 2005. The default.aspx is a form which inserts/updates/deletes data from the database. After creating the website I published it to IIS (Inetpub -> wwwroot). When I use Visual Studio 2005 and build the website and start with debugging. the form comes up and i can insert/update or delete the data from the table as I want. Now, as I have the website published I can access the form from another sharepoint website using the url as
/Employee_Data/Default.aspx">http://<mydesktop>/Employee_Data/Default.aspx
the form shows up but I am not able to access any of the database. I do not see any errors either. Once I click on the button the page just refreshes but nothing else happens. I have my web.config as :-
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings/>
<connectionStrings/>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Am I missing something? I even have Anonymous access in the IIS inetpub properties. I can even the database as I am the administrator..... I appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks,
Kavya

I'm having my website hosted with webhost4life.com which is very helpful and a really great company if you are using Visual Web Developer with SQL Express. The question I have for anyone who can help me is that my site will offer member roles for customer account maintenance with login and the works. As you know, when you use memberships with Visual Web Developer, it associates all these controls with a database called aspnetdb.mdf. And you maintain this database through the asp.net configuration control. Once this database is launched, I've learned how to access it by changing my web.config file removing the LocalSQLServer and adding one with the connection string to the aspnetdb.mdf database on the server. My question is, once I've done this and connected through that string, can I still use the asp.net configuration to edit the database (e.g. the users, roles, etc)?

The host provider says I must create the database [on their server] using their on-line utility, Is this true? Or do I need to configure the server to allow remote connections? If the latter is true, how is it accomplished?
Thanks in advance.... any help is appreciated.
