View 4 Repliesi would like to move all membership tables from aspnetdb.mdf to another mdf file. I don't have connection string in web.config that points to aspnetdb.mdf. I found links like [URL], but aspnet_regsql.exe allows to move all security data to sql server, not mdf file.
View 5 RepliesI have several cases in my database and for each case there is binary data. I am reading binary data for each case in a byte attray and saving it as a pdf file.I can succesfully open this pdf file.
protected string SavePdfFromDB(string caseNum)
{
string PDFFileName = string.Empty;
SqlDataReader dr = csiDelegate.DataReaderProcedure("GetReportFilenameForFileSystemNewestFile", [code]....
Can I read this binary data for multiple cases in the same byte aray and and save it as a pdf? Will this create a valid readable pdf?
I Have a table containing columns Address1,Address2,Address3,State,City and Area.Now i want to apply search Location where there will be a single textbox where the user can enter multiple strings seperated by spaces and then those rows should be fetched which contains all these strings entered by the user (implementing AND Case). For which the search on rows should be applied by merging the data of all the above mentioned columns and then searched.How to implement the above case?

View 4 RepliesI'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005. I have a database that I'm trying to make an exact copy of under a new name. I generated a script, made a new database then ran the script on it. My problem is the new database is short two objects, it shoudl have 840, but has 838.
I need to find out which two objects are not there.
Maybe there is a way to copy the exact database under a new name? I tried to detach, copy to a new name and then attach, but that did not work.
I used the Database Publishing Wizard to create a copy of my live SQL Server database for testing purposes. Both the live and test databases are hosted by my ISP.
What is the easiest way to transfer design changes from one database to the other without altering the data (assuming that the design changes are compatible with the existing data in the target database)?
Any proposed solution would have to be available via Visual Web Developer 2008 Express or SQL Server 2008 Development Edition.
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.
When I opened sql server configuration manager I am not able to see default databases like master etc. Does anybody know the reason? Did I miss any installation?
View 3 RepliesI have 2 databases one called DB1, and the other DB2. Both of them has exactly the same design (tables, procedures and etc..)
Now, I am using SQLMETAL to create the DataContext. problem is that there are two lines that direct to a certain database and so I cannot use the same code for both databases.
here is the code:
[Code]....
Now, What I am lookin for is a programmatically way to change this two lines (DataBaseAttribute and the connrection string) .
The easiest solution for me of course is to create the class twice, with the same code and just change manually what I need which is not what I am looking for.
There is a full discussion with microsoft stuff right here: [URL]
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 developing a website with ASP.NET pages that uses an SQL Server database with LINQ to SQL. I am using Visual Studio's Web Developer along with SQL Server 2008 (Developer Edition) database tables on my personal PC to develop this software. When ready, I intend to transfer the compiled web pages to a web hosting service with an SQL server database that is identical to the database on my PC.
I now have a version of my website deployed on a web hosting service at: [URL] and all of my database tables duplicated at the remote SQL server. However, this version of my website does not work with the database yet. I realize that I can have the VS Server Explorer connect to both databases, but I do not know if the web pages on my PC can use both databases interactively.
I am asking how I can develop my website to use the local SQL Server database and then have the deployed pages use the remote SQL Server database with LINQ to SQL. Do I need to create one version that works with the local database and another deployable version that works with the remote database? What should I do?
We have a webfarm using a SQL Server 2000 database to store our session state.
On the same SQL server are our databases for the rest of the websites. The databases are separate but on the same server.
Recently I found that one of our developers is using the session very inefficiently. He is storing large datatables within the session for users when he could accomplish the same thing through other methods.
Can this inefficient use of the session state (when stored in SQL Server) affect the performance of our main database when they are on the same server?
The answer seems to be yes, to some degree. However, I cannot find any documentation to back me up.
I'm creating a site that will offer several different services (blogs, videos, images..), all under the same site.
Each service will use a separate database and all services must use the same membeship info. Users will only need one login to access all these services.
For the membership database i will use the default aspnetdb database.
There are two ways i can think of:
1) Use a join-query between two databases, each time i want to show some service records per user.
2) Create a custom membership-info table in each service's database, and keep it in sync with the master membership table in aspnetdb database.
The custom membership table will be like this:
Id - int, primary, identity
UserId - uniqueidentifier (of aspnetdb database)
What is the best way to do this in the long run, when i will have six or seven or more services ?
I have attached two databases (from an ASP.NET application to SQL Express). They have attached fine and are working alright but what disturbs me is when I go and check it from SQL management studio, I could see those databases at attached in SQLExpress but I couldn't open it out them there. I need to update them with many records and I want to open them. Any clue what I am missing? I could have sent you the screen shot but I dont know how to attach an image in this thread.
View 4 RepliesI have a members section of a website where when they first register to become a member, they pick their top 5 sports personalities/stars. Then when they log in to the members area, I want to display members news which should show:
- at the top all new stories that have been their sportstar has been referenced to
- then all other news
(In the CMS, admins can edit a news story and they have 5 dropdowns of all the sportstars so they can for example have for a news story: Sportstar1=Tiger Woods, Sportstar2=David Beckham etc) So as a member, if I have selected David Beckham as one of my top 5s, then all news tagged with him via the CMS are displayed.
There may be a better way to approach it, but basically I am creating one DataSet, then firing off 5 SQL queries, each SQL query is like this:

Then in my Page Load I do this:

The problem is that my repeater is inl showing news for myStar1 i.e. it is nly showing the first table which will be called "News1".
So is there any easier way of doing this? Am I overcomplicating things?

I am trying to design my logic to do this but I want to create a dataSet which will have records from several databases, The records all have the same layout.
I am reagin the connection string paths from a table in a database.
I am asking for your help in trying figure out my logic.
Should I use the connectionString builder in conjunction with a loop to Connect, read a record into a dataset Until therer are no more records to be read from my databse table with the database name/paths tables ?
Here is my beginning code which deals with one database:

I have access to two seperate databases (mySQL) located on two servers. I need to get the data, link the tables on a key field and display the results in a datagrid. My challenge is that if the search criteria changes for the display it affects rows returned from on table and should thus automatically affect the linked table and resulting data returned.
what the best approach would be to achieving this? So far I have set up a dataset with a dataadapter and table for each connection and then linked the tables in the dataset. The problem that I'm having is getting the linked resultsets to work.
On my form I have the datagrid with two Objectdatasources one for each dataadapter and i believe that's where I'm going wrong...
I have two SQL queries that are stored procedures that have 2 variables that my web form will be supplying through text boxes. The two queries will produce two different results. I have read a couple of different of the MSDN articles online, including this one:
[URL]
that say that the tables must be similar to be able to merge them into a single datagridview. I know that datagridviews only like one table at a time, but I was curious if anyone had found a way to merge two dissimilar tables to one datagridview or not.
