im trying to develop a web application that uses a backend database, however im not quite sure what db backend to use. What are the diffrence between sql server express and mysql.. which is better to use in terms of small enterprises.? what are their limits..?
I am trying to migrate from MySQL 4.1 to MS SQL Express 2005 1. do i need to create an empty db under Express 2. can this be done from within Express by pulling from MySQL into Express or do I need to work from command lines 3. what would be the cleanest way to approach this
I have a MySQL dump and did look at the result from within Express, but it was not an import, I would like to find a way to import if possible that data. Table by table would be fine.
I'm trying to upsize an Access database to SQL 2005 Express. When I follow the wizard and I've tried all ways of connecting to the database I get the following error
Connection failed SQL State '01000' SQL Server Error 53 [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB] ConnectionOpen()). Connection failed SQL State '08001' SQL Server Error 17 [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB] SQL Server does not exist or access denied
I've tried using local host and typing the exact server connection string from the SQL Express Management tool and nothing is working
How come I can't do this? Everyone says this is easy and straight forward -- not for me.
so as you can see i want to migrate from My SQL 5.0 to MS SQL Express. Is there any free tool provided by microsoft or something else i could to use to migrate my databases. I need this cause old web page was developed on PHP and now it's redeveloped on ASP.NET and i have very strange issues with ASP.NET and MySQL Lots of incompatibility and performace degradation, so i would like to try out MS SQL i think it must be better.
When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
I've been asked to migrate a db in MySQL to SQL Server 2005. Since I'm only familiar with sql server 2000 and before, I dont' know where to begin looking for the information I need. Can someone point me to what I would search for in SQL Server 05 for this (is there any new features here I should be aware of that might make this easier?) If anyone has done this, what are the gotcha's or things I should be aware of. Thanks for any input

Hi all,I am developing a web application and the back end is MySQL database. Now I want to shift all the data to SQL Server 2005. Is there any method to do it? Thanks Tomy
Hello, Finally making the move to ASP.NET! I've been advised that to begin with it is probably best to start using SQL Server 2005 with ASP.NET. All my sites are currently using MySQL. Can anyone advise a way for me to import all the data from a MySQL database to a SQL Server 2005 database. Apologies if this isn't directly related to ASP.NET but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone know of a reference site where I can find a reference table to get a better idea of data type conversions that I should be using?
I have a MySQL 5.0 database which had a lot of tables (mostly empty) that I already have gotten transferred to SQL Server 2005. However, I am suspicious of some of the data type conversions that SQL Server did.
I would really like a good web site to bookmark to help me with this if there is such a reference. Can anyone help?
If not, the most specific example I have right now is a MySQL column that is expecting to accept currency and the MySQL data type is "Double". SQL Server 2005 translated this as a "float" data type. I normally use a "decimal" data type.
i've got a database stored on my computer using mysql server 2005, and I've just registered for hosting which uses the Plesk control panel. In plesk I've setup a database and relevant user. What the easiest way of exporting the whole database on my computer and getting it onto my hosting account?
Problem: Moving data from mysql to sql server 2005
I am trying to pull data over from mysql to sql server. First the import wizard greys out so I have to put in 1 query at a time which is pain. and second it does not even work! it takes me through the end of the wizard for me to click finish and then says oops it does not work. there was an error!
Anyway i tried going through the ssis route cuz its going to be a nightly job. i used the ado.net odbc connection. It worked but the performance is really not acceptable. it took 5 mins to import 24000 rows where as dts was taking 1 sec to do this. i wish i could use the native mysql odbc 3.51 connector and import. can some one give me step by step instructions on how to do that ?
I hear someone mentioned of using excute sql task which can use mysql odbc 3.51 driver. but since i am new how do i get it to work. say for example in the excute sql task i run a statement like select * from addr. then what?
cuz eventually i want the result to be saved in a sql server table called addr. How can i get the result from that excute sql task and put it inside of an addr table in sql server. should i save the result to a variable of type object. but then how do i get the data from object and tell sql server in the designer that the result contains these columns and it needs to map to these columns in the addr table of sql server.
Very confused. i wish the first option would have given me results which an enterprise ETL gives. but apparently it is too slow that it wont be acceptable in a production envrioment. when i will have millions of rows coming in .
If i have been using sql server 2005 express for developing my application and i decide to upgrade to sql server 2005 express with advanced services while still working on the same application, what will happen to my application's database. Can i be able to continue with my work with out any major regrets.
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.

HI All, I want to pull data from mysql dbms to sql servr 2005, i have wrote the following codes but it takes more than an hour and half which is not visible. Thus is there any consideration to consider and reduced time it takes. For your information i am going to use SSIS packags, there is no any tranformation, it is direct dump. Here is the code i am using,
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY (Server_1,'
SELECT t3.Column11 as Column1, Column12 as Column2, Column13 as Column3, Column14 as Column4, Column15 as Column5, Column16 as Column6, Column17 as Column7, Column18/1000 as Column8 FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.ColumnId = t2.columnID INNER JOIN Table3 t3 ON t2.columnId = t3.columnID WHERE t1.Column4 > Sometime ')

Hi Guys, I created a Product database table using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have just added a new column [Picture] to the database table, which of course, should store an image or picture of a product. I am writing to kindly ask you guys for help .
i) How do I include image files into this column [Picture]? ii) How do I get this image to display on Visual Basic 2005 Express form, so that when a product is selected the product image is displayed accordingly?
I'm trying to use linked server to import big amount of data(around 9 million rows) from mysql to a sql 2005 table. I plan to create a stored procedure and use job agent to run it at off-peak time everyday. The SP is like:
..... Truncate table sqltblA;
Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3) Select col1, col2, col3 From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB') .....
But when I tried to CREATE the above SP from management studio, seems the sql server was trying to get all data from table mytblB and ended up with failure after several minutes hang. The error message is sth. like "running out memeory". BTW, during that several minutes hang, I can't query mytblB using mysql's tool as well. it seems to me that table got locked.
However if i try to change the returned result to 100,000 rows by changing script to
Insert Into sqltblA(col1, col2, col3) Select col1, col2, col3 From OpenQuery('mysql', 'Select col1, col2, col3 From mytblB Limit 100000') The SP could be created without any problem and running the SP could get the data in table sqltblA. But that's not what I want, I need all rows instead of a certain amount of rows.
Does anyone know what's going on there when I try to CREATE that SP and any solution to it?
Plus I tried to use SSIS as well. When I'm configuring the DataReader source, which uses ADO.NET's ODBC option to connect to mysql, if its sqlcommand is "select * from mytblB" without the Limit key word, then the configuration page will hang there as well and table mytblB is not accessible by using mysql tool. I'm just sick of wasting time on that and that's why I chose to use SP istead of SSIS. But same result. :-(
Hi, I want to make a component library in Visual Basic.NET and connect to a remote Sql Server. When I create a new DataSet with the wizard, I can only connect to a .mdf file, but not to a Sql Server. With Visual Web Developer I can connect to a Sql server. What is the difference between these enviroments ? How can I do the same with Visual Basic.NET ? Thanks in advance.
Where can I go to get information on supported features on Express?
I had heard that express does not support functions.
I have a dotnet application that is connecting to Access and the client wants to go to either mysql or express and I am looking for a pro or con on both. I usually use SQL2000 but I am wondering if there is a limit on the size of the database for express. Which is not a concern for about year but will be an issue after that.
I have created a web site using visual web developer (free download) The website was created using asp.net 2.0. The vwd I have incorporated the cool new roles and membership features of asp.net 2.0. When i did this vwd automatically created a sql express database (aspnetdb.mdf) to hold the login stuff.
I then purchased som e web hosting from a company and found out that they only support MySQL databases.
My questions are;
1. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two types of database (i know what sql express is but am not sure what MySQL is)
2. Secondly, is there a tool or way I can convert the SQL Express database to a MySQL database?
If this has been discussed before i apologise as i am fairly new to the asp forum and was not sure where to search for threads. I am upgrading to a new web plan that supports asp and i noticed that godaddy supports all of the above databases. I was curious if there are any advantages to using one db over the others as far as web is concerned? What i am looking to do is handle guestbook, logins for registered users which would control access to certain downloads and possibly pages as well. And it was also advised that i look into using a database to store and display dynamic information in my master page to only show the updated information instead of a complete new page each time. This would save on having to manage so many pages. So i would really appreciate any advice on the databases as i will be making my decision to go with a specific web host based on this. I would also appreciate any advice on a good web host for asp and database support. Thank you Jeff
