Architecture question for anyone....We have a typical SQL Server 3-tier VB.net app running at corporate and want our customers to interact through a website. If we host the website on-site, we can simply access the DB; but if we host at a remote location and want the users to perform updates (think DHL, Wells Fargo, Amazon), we'll need replication with Peer-to-peer. Some basic questions:
1) is everyone doing it this way?
2) will we need a full time replication consultant to set this up, keep it up, and keep an eye on it (administering the 50 user, 200 table DB is relatively easy and we've not needed a DBA for the past 10 years).
3) we're not DHL or Amazon, we just want that kind of end user add/update/delete functionality...so transation rates will be miniscule. But still, the corporate site is constantly being updated so we'll need a fat pipe to the hosting service, etc... any thoughts on performance?
any other tips on doing an installation like this?
thanks in advance

The Sql Mobile site on MSDN recommends that you do not host SQL Everywhere when running as a service. Is this a recommendation, if so why, or is it simply not possible. My understanding is that when hosteed in a IIS hosted application a not supported exception is throw.
If anyone has any ideas on this or pointers to some resources i would appreciate them.
I created a small ASP.NET website with VS2008 that employs user authentication (login) functionality to protect some of the site data and allow access only to authenticated users. This functionality created an ASPNETDB SQL database in the project to hold all the user data such as usernames, passwords, user roles, etc. The website works flawlessly on my local PC but when I copy the files to my windows-based web server (IPOWER host) I can't find a way to activate the SQL database so the user authentication functionality works. I've been through all the Scott Guthrie tutorials on this subject here and here, but none of the suggestions worked for me. IPOWER is no help since they will not provide technical support for scripting.
I'm at a loss. This is just a simple little website but I've hit a wall and can't seem to find my way around it. I am new to ASP.NET and SQL server applications so my newbie status certainly plays a role here.
I will gladly pay someone (via PayPal) to spend time with me on the phone talking me through the steps to get the site working on my web hosting site. Other than that, are there any other suggestions on what I could try?
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.
I have a SQL .bak generated by our existing hosting package at 1and1.com, I want to import that SQL .bak to our new hosting package at ixwebhosting.com.
ixwebhosting.com don't have a import feature in their control panel.
I have to maintain the SQL at ixwebhosting.com using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express since they don't have that feature in their cp. I don't see any import features in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express either.
How can I import it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express or another free GUI program?
I have a Win 2003 server with SQL 2000 SP3 that is publisher and distributor for several merge replication publications. Subscribers are a mixture of SQL 2000 (running SP3 and SP4) and MSDE. I've run into a problem in creating publications that is fixed in SP4 but for various reasons I can't update all of the subscribers that are running SP3. I don't expect any issues updating just my server but will I have any issues running SP4 on my server and SP3 on the subscribers?
We have two servers using merge replication. I have updated one with SP1 and not the other (yet). Replication fails to work after the upgrade. I get the following error message: Date 5/26/2006 2:09:08 AM Log Job History (BB-CM1-SRV1-CountAndCrush-New Sync for Crusher-CC-SQLSRV-6)

I am trying to export from an SQL Server on a hosting company to my own computer using DTS. I'm new to SQL Server manipulations like this so please go easy on me...
I can't seem to manage to do this properly - If I select "Copy tables & data only" it will not copy the identity constraints and primary keys. If I select "copy all objects" it starts giving me permission issues which I cannot seem to resolve, because I guess the tables on the hosting server are owned by my username up there, but when they come to my computer they are orphant?
Isn't there an easy way to do this? It's a very simple database, tables and that's it, not even any stored procedures.
I told my client to use a particular host, or at least one that offers a database... they instead went with a friend of a friend that offers hosting as a reseller.
Now I'm the web developer for this huge site overhaul which requires a database with a host that doesnt offer it.
I'm new to databases... thats why I'm accustomed to using the simplicity of ipowerweb or mediatemple and their phpmyadmin interface.
Anyway... what do I do? Will a database hosted elsewhere work? If you know about this stuff, please help.. I may not be asking the right questions!
I have experience only designing an implementing DB in sql2000 but not too much administering.
My app is a Web Service that communicate with my DB.
The DB is in a hosting company, so I don€™t have too much permissions to play with.
The application have been the same for at least one year, no changes at all but recently my users complaint that the system was not working/responding.
I immediately thought about excessive load
When I went to query analyze and execute the command (sp_who), I saw that 173 processes where sleeping €“ awaiting command
that is the only thing I can imagine was the problem(not sure yet). I investigated and found the Kill process instruction but I was not able to run it because permission.
Based in this scenario How can I give a fast CPR to drain my DB and allow my user to work? Any link? Any sug?
Does anyone use One and One Internet (UK) for their hosting? I use them and when I published my site all membership feautures wouldn't work, I called the One and One support and they said that their servers only support SQL Databases if they were created using their own tool in their control panels. How would I get my site to use their database, I'm really not sure. If anyone else could help me out I'd be grateful. Kind Regards Mattie

Hi all! One good thing about access databases is the ability to upload the .mdb file to a hosting server and not being charged for database space. How about MSDE? Does it require SQLServer hosting or can it be done just by uploading the database file? Thanks,Ricardo
Maybe someone can suggest me some software which can be used for SQL 2005 shared hosting? With database size limit, user number restriction and other features.
Does anyone know where I can get SQL Server 2005 witness hosting? Our primary server is in Vermont and our DR site is in New Hampshire. I would like to set up a witness server somewhere off the east coast. I don't want to have to purchase a new server and pay big prices for colo.
Is there such a thing as witness hosting? Would someone be willing to host my witness and I can host yours?

I have been attempting to locate a hosting company that offers SQL Server 2005 in addition to Analysis & Reporting Services but have been unable to find a hosting company which does so without purchasing the entire server. Anyone know of a company?
I see < SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION LICENSE> it has "hosting services" (at 4.Scope of License ),(Now, English has been removed, but the Chinese Simplified were) it refers to what ?
it is means
1. Services Host -> supply app run environment, like IIS or 2.Server -> Waiting for the link (Server)
I have a server that i would like to use as a dedicated DB Server. It is running Win Server 2k3 and SQL Server 2005. The typical upstream bandwidth is anywhere from 384Kb/s to 700Kb/s. Is this enough to host multiple SQL Server 2005 DB's? The DB's will be used for database driven websites. Please let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks,

I have established roles to restrict access to the data entry pages. The database is SQL Server which I've established on the hosting server. Security was previously maintained through ~/app_data/aspnetdb.mdb (MS Access). It works, but isn't too stable, so I have modified the security to use SQL Server with an aspnetdb.mdf file, also located in the app_data folder. Is this appropriate? Since it doesn't work, I assume not.It's now my assumption that I need to setup a SQL Server database to support the security/roles. I have seen some reference to using a script to build the aspnet.mdf on the hosting server. If I do create such a database, is there anything special I need to do to have my application read the aspnetdb? Do I need a connection string in the membership and/or roleManager sections of my web.config. A little guidance would be appreciated.Thanks
I have been reading on aspnet_regsql.exe tool and still haven't found my answer. So here we go... I am using VWD Express and I have already made many pages in many dbs within the app folder. My question is how do I use the aspnet_regsql.exe tool to know what DB that I want the tool to know AND how do I put in the name of the DB on my sql hosting server? For instance:Let say in my app folder I have a DB named testDB.mdf and my hosting sql server is named sqlHostingServer... so if I use the command line entry in accordance with the documentation, it should look like this (in the dos prompt):aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S localhost -d testdb.mdf -A all -sqlexportonly c:output.sqlbut it seems that for the DB name I can put anything I want and still gives me output... wtfark... any help? I don't work at Microsoft so please simple documentation or something like that.Thanks,MR
Can anyone recommend a good tool for administering my database ? It is located on a hosting service, however, they donot allow the use of the SLQ server admin tool since there are security concerns..
