DataSource Controls :: Connecting Two Servers With A Readonly Privilage To A Database?
Apr 12, 2010
I have two PCs with Windows Server 2003 standard adition installed on them, each are in a saperte room, and having SQL Server 2005 Express. Now I want to let Myserver to connect to server1 with a readonly access to a database on it. I figured to create a user acount on server1, and make it as a login account in SQL Server and grant the appropreate privilage. Now I'm wandering are there any security risks regarding this approch.
Could not establish a connection to the database. If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider. I have set up a db locally which mimics the production DB, THe production db and website has no has no issues.
THis used to work till i had hard disk failure and had to reinstall all software and do the db from scratch. Used the table scripts and ran the aspnet_regsql. I am using sql server express 2008 asp.net 3.5 I am using custom provider for Roles and custom membership provider for Memberships. Pretty sure the problem is in the db permissions, though I have set up Users in the Security of the DB.
connecting my database to the online server. My server is seekdotnet. But I had been receiving this error code Cannot open database "database.bak" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user '219_nypmecom'.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 and asp.net technology with C# language. Whenever I try to choose any datasource for databound control like "gridView" of "ObjectDataSource". The connection can be tested as OK but when I click on OK the it gives following error and database could not be added: "Object Reference not set set to an instance of an object." it was working perfectly fine in Visual Studio 2005, so kindly help if there is some settings that are to be adjusted for 2008 version.
I was working on a asp.net project earlier but due to some OS problem I had to re-install the OS..so before re-installing the OS I detached my sql database and then attached it back after installation..but I am having a login problem now..the previous servername was XYZ-DB840C74SQLEXPRESS..so this user i.e. XYZ-DB840C74ASPNET is added to the database's permissions..now my new server name is XYZ-8D50FD73SQLEXPRESS..but I am unable to add this user through the permissions wizard..I am getting the following error: Cannot open database "finance" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'XYZ-8D50FD73ASPNET'.
In my windows application, i am listing the System DSN's configured on the remote machine in a combobox. Once i select the DSN and click on Connect button, i should be able to connect to the remote database. I am trying to open the connection to the database using ODBC but am getting the below error.
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
I have no trouble connecting to a SQL server with code in my web config file for user registeration. But I am having trouble telling it to go to a particular table.
While working with LINQ to ENTITIES I see that there is only a way to use stored procedure that is returning one entity only, or a view that is a join of two entities.
But what if I need in ASPX page to get two tables that there is NO connection between them, no join can be done between them at all.
I have one Stored Procedure that return the two tables, but entities don't support this right now.
I can split them to two Stored Procedure and call each of them separately.
This seems like a really silly question, but I've had a search around and I can't find anything about this. I've got a DB connection string that I'm creating in my web.config:-
[Code]....
and
[Code]....
but I need this connection to be read only. I've defined all my linq objects with only gets on their properties, and none of my (MVC) repository classes have .SubmitChanges() methods in them so I'm 99% sure the system can't update this DB, but I would also like to set my DB connection to be RO if at all possible. I realise that ideally this should be done at the SQL server end and the user should be made RO, but that (for various reasons, out of my control) can't be done, so I wanted to lock down my connection as the app mustn't write to the DB.
Is there a "readonly" parameter I can apply to the connection string so that it would throw an error or discard the data if any updates were attempted?
I need to query two table from different databases residing on two different servers.
Scenario:
1st Server : Abc
Database: DB1
Table: Accounts
2nd Server: Xyz
Database: DB2
Table: Clients
The common linking information between Clients and Accounts is "email_id". I'm sure a lot you are saying why am I not maintaining both tables on single server but there is a lot going on behind scenes and if I move tables, I'll have to modify many dependent web pages.
I would like to create a gridview where all of the items in one table are listed and a checkbox is checked if that item also shows up in another table. The difficulty comes in the fact that table are not only in different databases, but possibly on different servers.
Is there any way to do this via ASP.NET connection strings, so that it doesn't matter where the databases live? I'd rather use connection strings, because I don't want to hard-code credentials into the queries (OPENROWSET or whatnot).
I am using SQL Server 2005 and i have a application that using FoxPro.
Can I load the data into SQL Server's table from FoxPro? if yes, i would like schedule this job daily, can i write it in Store Procedure and run daily in special time?
i have a project running good (database and application both are in same server). some days before we've decided to place databse (sql server 2000) in different server.we created new server with windows server 2003 and Sql server 2000; nothing else is installed in it.And then i register new server's sql in old server's sql server. it connected successfully. even i can fire a query to new server from old server.
Both new and old server having windows server 2003 and Sql server 2000.
Now the problem :I CAN NOT ACCESS NEW SERVER'S DATABASE FROM MY APPLICATION.
I need the syntax for a connection string in web.cong to connect to a SQL Server 2005 database that is on a VPN. I have an account on the DB that I can use....just don't know how to construct the connection string properly.
Since these table are on two different boxes and 2 different versions, I am getting error message that tables cant be compared because they have different schema's.Schema's are the same but they are on different machines and different servers. What is a work around it?
When ever I try to connect to server through Microsoft sql server management studio express then an error is generated saying that
Cannot connect to .//SQLEXPRESS
Additional Information
A network related or instance specfic error occured while connecting to SQL server. The server not found or not accessible verify that instance name is correct and that SQL server is configured to allow remote connections.(Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40-could not open connection to SQL server )(Microsoft SQL server, Error:53)
I am trying to host my website developed on ASP.NET framework 3.5. this website project is working perfectly on my system in local host enviorment. but when I try to upload it to hosting server ( mochahost.com-- hosting server) it is creating problem.
I have uploaded all the webpages to standard folder, created the database using script file, I can see the table and data through Plesk control panel, so database creation is not the problem. I have change the connection string in web.config file according to the template given on the site.
here's the connection string I am using:
<connectionStrings> <add name="JJMCONDO" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="data source=db200.my-hosting-panel.com;Initial Catalog=ahalyam1_varun;User ID=xxxxx;Password=xxxx" /> </connectionStrings> where JJMCONDO is the connection name database name: ahalyam1_varun
I have a problem with connecting a DropDownList to a DataSource.
The scenario: When I add am item to the database (I do this using a GridView/ObjectDataSource / SPROC) I want to update a DropDownList that lists this items as well.This DropDownList is linked with another ObjectDataSource. Now, I listen to the RowCommand event of the GridView and in a certain case I refresh the DataSource of the DrpoDownList and do a DataBind to the DropDownList afterwards.
The strange thing is, that when I take a look at the DropDownList's Items-Collection during the Page's OnPreRender event handling, the items collection contains the new entry but the new entry is not rendered, i.e. when I take a look at the rendered HTML the <option></option> entry for the new value is missing.
After another postback to the page the entry appears in the DropDownList?
I have a SQL server in my office. I can connect from my home development workstation website to the remote SQL server with no problems but when I upload the site to the web host and try and use the same SQL server it fails with 'A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible'
I would like to do a connection of asp.net page with Sql Server. Here I would like to read the Windows user account name and pass in the connection.The connection should be Windows authentication. IIS server and Sql server are installed in different machine. Here I am able to connect locally, When I am running from server, It takes windows account of Server.
so i can read local account(Where user is accessing the web application) and make windows authentication sql server connection.
Background: I use SQL server 2005 developer edition and visual studio 2008. Visual studio 2008 is running on a local machine with Vista business edition. SQL server is running on a remote server using Windows server 2003. Both computers are within the same domain.
Problem: First, I used the server explorer to connect to the SQL server. Everything works as desired. Then I write code to do the same thing. I keep getting the following error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)
However, I used the exactly identical connection string as the one used in the server explorer. So connection string should not be the problem. In addition, I tried the test code in MSDN, which tells whether my domainusername can flow the network. It turns out the user name is fine. I also went to the SQL server management studio and found the login for my computer is NVCWeihao while my computer login name is NVCweihao. I am wondering if this uppercase letter really affects the connection.
I'm getting the following error when attaching to my database on line. I'm not sure what the issue is as I've been able to connect in the past without any issues and there haven't been any changes to my connection string. Here is the error and my webconfig.
