Packaging VisualBasic Product Along With SqlServer Database.
Sep 4, 2000
Hi forlks ,
I am stuck.
I have a product which is made in visual basic and using sqlserver 7
as backend. Now the question is how do i bundle this product along with the sqlserver 7 so that when the user inserts the Install CD, both the product and the database gets installed.
help in this matter would be greatly appreciated..
I have a 14GB database thats needs to be sent to a vendor. I'm just curious of different ways of packaging the database to be sent. FTP is too slow. CDROM is to small unless split up. Any suggetions guys working with data of this size?
Hi all, How to package sql server database as part of our custom application (VB application) using install shield or any software. That setup should detect the presence of sql server. If sql server is not present in the client machine, then our set up should install the sql server and deploy our database. If sql server is present in the client machine, then our set up should install our database alone. How to do that. Please help me. Regards, S.Sevugan.
I have some changes I want to make to an existing cube - that is, I'd like to add some Measures and Dimensions to the Team Foundation Server cube. I would like these changes to be applied in one quick process, where the system administrator can just run an MSI that makes the changes.
I looked at XMLA but there doesn't seem to be much support for making incremental changes to the cube. Is AMO the way to go? How have people dealt with this in the past?
Is there a way to transfer data from a SqlServer db to a SqlServer Express db. I tried to use the backup file of SqlServer, but this file is not valid for SqlServer Express. Or there any alternatives?
I am using the code below to get all the children of a particular product and it is working fine. How to get the particular product's id in the select statement. for example, i need to show 891 in a separate column for all the records returned by the query below.
DECLARE @Hierarchy TABLE (Product_Id INT, Parent_Product_Id INT) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (123, 234) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (234, 456) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (456, 678) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (678, 891) INSERT INTO @Hierarchy VALUES (891, NULL)
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database
Hello,I need to copy a table from an 8i oracle database to a sqlserver 2000 database.Is it possible to use the command "COPY FROM ... TO ..." ?So, what is the correct syntax ?Thanks for your helpCyril
Hi, I have a complicated sql server mobile database (.sdf) and need to create a SQL SERVER database with the same tables. How can I do it without scripting the whole thing? I thought of using the views.information_schema databases, but it is still a lot of coding.
I am learning dotnet thru Microsoft Official Curriculum and I got stuck up at one point. That is I couldn't configure the required databases according to the sql server I have installed and configured. I created a doctors database and while configuring using the below code I couldn't know what is 'ASPNET' in "SELECT @s = @@servername + 'ASPNET'" Also what is 'webuser'

Hi, I have a hard time copying my db (or instance?) from a SQL Server 2000 db which resides at my web host. I have Sql Server 2005 Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express on my computer and, well, there is no "ftp-like" option so I don't have a clue about how to proceed. I've read many posts on the net on this matter but nothing seems to apply to this, in my mind, rather common, configuration. I have receieved Excel docs that should be appended to tables in my db. I have successfully installed DTS (see http://mobiledeveloper.wordpress.com/ for details - it's really simple but takes two hours) so I have a wizard for the actual import from Excel. My plan is now to 1. download/detach/whatever my table/db/part of the web host's db and download it to my computer. Then 2. fill the tables with the data from Excel. And finally, to 3. upload/attach/whatever my local db or table to the web host again. I'm sooo confused, please, please help me out here! Pettrer
Hi, i need to know how to encrypt a field in the sql server database. I want to hide some text field in a user defined table. thanks in advance. regards mihir
Forgive me if this question is a bit too generic, if it is, feel free tojust not respond.I have a database which has been running in PostgreSQL for a number ofyears at this stage which I want to port into MS SQL server.It seems that the SQL that Postgre outputs when I do a backup is notsyntactically correct within MS-SQL server.My question is, does anyone have any documentation on how to convert adatabase from the Postgre platform to SQL server? Is it possible usingan ODBC connection to import a database structure including tabledefinitions, views etc into SQL Server?Failing this, does anyone have any suggestions on where I might start -I did attempt to go through the SQL code and modify it to suit SQLserver, but it's about 3,500 lines of code excluding the insertstatements (which themselves are also wrong) and almost every line needssomething changed when comparing SQL syntax from Postgre to MSSQL serverThanks in advance for any comments/suggestions.Engada.--Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
Hi;I thought I would rephrase a question I asked in another post to morequickly get to the heart of the matter. My apologies for anyone whois offended by what appears to be a repetition.My company has two identical web sites. One copy is for our customer,and one copy is for us to test our code changes on.We developed a hard to isolate bug in the copy of the web stie for ourcustomers.We believe the bug might be data related.We would like to replace our test database with our productiondatabase to try to reproduce the problem without interrupting ourservice to our customers.The test database and production database have all the same tables andstructures,but the names of the databases are slightly different.We have tried dropping tables from our test database and importingtables from our customer database in Management Studio. We got thedata but the identity fields were turned off as identities. We canmanually turn them back on in Management Studio, but we have severalhundred tables.In the end we just want to the data from our customer db to be in ourtest db with the test db name being the same, and have our identityfields preserved.What is the easiest way to do this?Thanks in advance for anyinformationSteve

Is it possible to deploy SQL Server CE "baked into" a DLL? For example, instead of setting the build option to "Content", can I set it to "Embedded Resource"?
this is thiru from India, hope i shall get answers here for my questions.
1. I need to import an Excel spread sheet to a remote sql server database through ASP.Net web application. I brief the process im following now please go through it.
Import Process:
a. select a fiile(.xls) and upload it to server. b. using M/S Odbc Excel driver, and the uploaded excel file as datasource, c. query the excel sheet to populate a dataset. d. iterate through the rows of the dataset(I could not bulk copy the excel data, because have to check the database, if record exists then update, else insert) to import to the SQL Database
Performance issues: 1. I have to import spreadsheets having upto 60,000 records or even more at a time. 2. Is this a good option to use a webapplication for this task (I use this approach because my boss wants to do so). 3. some times the excel file size grows up to 7 mb(Though i shall adjust config settings, uploading and then querying a 7 mb file shall be an ovverhead i think.) 4. is there any possibility to get the datasource with out uploading the file to the server (Like modifying the connection string as "datasource=HtmlFileControl.PostedFile" instead,)(I tried this but it gives me "unspecified error").
please analyse my problem and suggest me a possible solution. I thank all, for your efforts, of any kind. have a nice time, ........thiru
I have some question about SQLServer Expresss. 1. I want attach a SQLServer Expresss database to sqlserver2005.is it possible? How? 2. Can I get script by SQLServer Expresss? 3. And my important question is: How can I convert a SQLServer Expresss database to sqlserver2000?
Well that's pretty much it. I discovered this when I added tables to a database from within VS2K5. The tables are visible in VS but not in the server management studio.To clarify further...I added a db to a website in VS. I then used the server management studio to delete tables from the db. They appear to be gone in server management studio, but are still visible within VS, even after a refresh and shut down/restart of VS.I don't get it. What am I missing here? This is killing me.Any thoughts? The only other thing I can think to add is that I originally created the db in question from within VS2K5. I did nothing I am aware of to make it act differently than any other db. So why it shows up in the server management studio but changes I make aren't consistently maintained between there and VS2K5, I do not understand.TIA - Regards, Joe
How can i Store files like (abc.txt , abc.doc) in SqlServer Database from ASP.NET application ?? my files are about (2 Mb ) size aslo want to know about text as well as .jpg , . gif files also pls send me code ... help me
Every hour I make a backup of the log files of a database to a backup device. Each backup is appended to this backup device.
Now to restore at a point in time I normally use the following script;
RESTORE DATABASE mcs_carolus FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_data.bak' WITH REPLACE, NORECOVERY go RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak' WITH FILE = 1, NORECOVERY GO RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak' WITH FILE = 2, NORECOVERY GO RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak' WITH FILE = 3, NORECOVERY GO RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak' WITH FILE = 4, NORECOVERY GO RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak' WITH FILE = 5, NORECOVERY GO RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak' WITH FILE = 6, NORECOVERY GO RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak' WITH FILE = 7, RECOVERY,STOPAT = 'Nov 25, 2004 11:59 AM'
Is there a simpler way of restoring without going through this long process.
I heard from someone that there is a tool that can verify/check whether the database can be deported to SQL Server 2005 native (90) or not. Is this true?
