DataSource Controls :: Migrating Database MySQL To MS SQL Server Express?
Jan 27, 2010
I am considering moving my personal website across from one hosting to another the new hosting will use a SQL Server 2008 Express DB. Is there any easy way of moving the information from MySQL to SQL Server 2008 Express DB.
I want to synchronise two databases from two different platforms i.e. MS Sql Server 2000 and MySql. I have two applications one is desktop application which uses Mysql and other is Web application which uses MSSql. When any changes made to MySql from Desktop application, then that changes should get reflected to MS Sql database and vice versa. I am novice for this kind of situation.
How do you import database diagram at SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)? Using SSMSE in checking my database through a shared server, the "Database Diagrams" folder has no import functionality.
In Visual Web Developer 2008, creating new sqldatasource connection, I not find ".NET Framework Data Provider for MySQL". I have already installed MySQL Connector/Net 6.2. I could add a reference to MySql.Data. Why!
I have written a website in ASP.NET with a back-end database using SQL Express 2008. My database is created and put in the App_Data folder. It is ok when it runs on my local machine. However, when I upload to the web server, I got the error: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and ettingsDesktopProject2_ISAM5337App_DataEvent.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. By the way, I notice a same probelm : When I move my project to a location which is different from specific path for my database, I got the same error message .
I have an existing ASPNET role/membership database created on SQLExpress 2005 (WIndows 2003 Server). I created it under the .NET 3 framework many years ago using the aspnet_regsql.exe application in full GUI mode.
I am setting up a new Windows 2008R2 server with .Net Framework 4 and SQL Server 2008R2. I don't want users to have to recreate accounts or create roles, etc.
So...
1. Should I backup the current database and import it into the new system, and if so do I even need to use the aspnet_regsql.exe application. (If so which version do I use, different aspnet_regsql.exe files exist in different directories (i.e., FrameWork, FrameWork64)
2. Should I just run aspnet_regsql.exe on its own and then somehow try to import the current data into those tables.
I am concerned that if I just import somehow the roles within SQL server will not be created properly.
Using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with what I'm assuming is Sql 2008 Express. Using SqlDataSource, when I try to configure a data source, I'm able to input a server name: (local)sqlexpress and the "Test Connection" button shows that it was successful. However, if I type in a new database table name and VWD 2008 asks if I would like to create it, I keep getting the message: "OBJECT REFERENCE NOT SET TO AN INSTANCE OF AN OBJECT." No idea what that means or how to fix it. I can't open theDatabase Explorer View.
I am trying to set up a server on my own pc to test programs i am making, however i keep running into an issue with Access databases saying that it's not registered on my local machine or something like that. So i was thinking of trying MySql instead, but i cant figure out how to set up a database to run on my pc. I have done it using MySql Workbench before to connect to a database set up on my schools server, but that was an already set up database that they created for each student. I want to know how to set one up on my own pc. how to set this up? I tried the server administration section of MySql Workbench but it seems to ask for an existing database already.
I have been attempting to install sql server express 2008 but have come across problems. I downloaded it via web platform installer and it ran the install process, and I thought this would be it, but then upon creating some wizard log in controls on a website they won't work because its not installed. Then i relised I can't actually run the program, only some of its features. I then found the Installation centre and thought, oh I haven't actually installed it yet, and when I select new SQL server stand-alone installation or add features, instead of going through the process like it states on tutorials for installs, it asks me to browse for installation media, which I do not have because I downloaded the express edition.
I used that Microsoft Windows installer and installed visual web developer 2008 express and sql server 2008 so I thought. visual web developer works find.
When I look at sql server 2008 all I see is import export data link.
and the configuration tools.
In the configuration tools I see the following:
sql server configuration manager. sql server error and usage reporting sql server installation center.
So I figure sql server 2008 was not fully installed.d
I open the installation center and went to system configuration checker but I get a dialog
box that say browse for sql server 2008 installation media.
I have vs2008 . I wat sql server and management tools .
I uninstalled all previous sql 2005 stuff and downloaded SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe for sql server express 2008.
I followed the instructions from below.

I got an error on install when it claims I have a previous ver of vs2008 and need to install sp1 which I have. After installing sp1 I still get same error.
After reimaging my hard drive, I reinstalled SQL Server Express 2008, this time using the Windows Platform Installer for the first time. Tried running websites within VS2008 and VS2010 and can't connect to database. Tried to turn on using Sql Server Config Manager. Won't turn on. Also tried to connect via Sql Server Management Studio 2008, but got this error:
A network-related or instance specific error occured....the server was not found or was not accessable.
I'm using an ODBC connection to connect a SQL 2005 database to my ASP.NET app in Visual Web Developer Express. I'm finding that the expected functionality that tutorials review does not work for ODBC connected databases the same way as it does for SQL databases created in the Web Developer. For example, I can't use stored procedures because the option to create one is disabled in the Web Developer, and if I create the stored procedure in SQL Server Management Studio Express, it doesn't show up in Web Developer because Web Developer only finds the system stored procedures, not the user-defined ones. I've seen other cases as well where database management options in Web Developer don't work with ODBC databases.
Am I missing something in my setup, or is there an inherent limitation with ODBC connected databases? Or, is this a limitation with using the Express versions of these development tools?
I created an MDF file in VS 2008 in the Solutions Explorer window and can see the file path for this file as:
C:Documents and SettingsAdminMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008WebSitesAddSQLRecordsApp_Data
But when I try to add this MDF file in SQL Server 2005 Express, I click the Add button but cannot find this exact path above. How do I find this? I am running this on a 32-bit XP OS.
i have installed sql server express using windows authentication mode,but i have a doubt if we want to acces the data from front end we type like uid="",pwd="",servername="" but when using windows auth what credentials we have to give or there is no need of any details?
