View 2 RepliesI have an old mysql database, version - 3.23.38. I'd like to migrate from this database to ms sql express 2005. When reading through about MySQL Migration Toolkit, I found this fact - it is designed to work with MySQL versions 5.0 and higher. So, which toolkit could do for mysql version 3.23.38? Or let me know how to migrate it.

View 3 RepliesI have Connector/NET working on my windows 2008 web server. We are moving the MySQL DB from localhost on that windows 2008 server to a new Linux server. The tables are copied over. I can connect to them in the cmd line using all the same credentials.
When I try to connect via my ASP.NET application I get the ambiguous Error:
"Unable to initialize provider. Missing or incorrect schema."
All I changed was the server name in:
<add name="LocalMySqlServer" providerName="MySQL.Data.MySqlClient" connectionString="server=MYSERVER; database=MYDATABASE; uid=MYUSERID; password=MYPASSWORD; pooling=false; character set=latin1" />
If I change it back to the old server name, it works again.
Why am I getting this error? Do I need to change something else?
I am fairly new to ASP.net - comming from a PHP / MYSQL background sometimes certain things in ASP.net confuse the hell out of me. In PHP - when writing an application you always connect to an external database server (MYSQL , PostGreSQL ) using a username and password and aswell a datbase server address(mostly localhost). Now with ASP.net i noticed that you can connect to an existing database within SQL server or you can create a local database in the App_Data folder.
The local database seems much easier to work with however my concern is what would you store in a local database? surely you cannot use it as a main database to store all your data(compared to a MYSQL database)? Secondarily with SQL server - when i login into SQL server management express , it uses "Windows Authetication" , i tried to select "Sql Server authentication" and enter my own username and password to login but that did'nt work. How do i deploy a database from SQL server to the web? - in MYSQL for example we would have a SQL dump file , which can be simply imported/exported from server to server.
I have a problem that currently we are use a sybase database and we want to create application that give me a output in excel report that's mean my data stored at sybase or mysql and we access it from this after it generate my report in excel form and give this output on excel format?

We currently are using 2008 Express. Do I need to remove this prior to installing 2008 Developer, or can I simply just install over.
is there any difference between sql express and sql client. Actually I have been told to install a sql client using which i will connect to the sql server installed remotely. Also I have sql express edition 2008 installed on my machine. So is it the same. Will I be able to connect to the sql server using the sql server express edition.?

View 3 Replieswe are planning to use ASP .NET and Oracle Database, however, I don't know what are the requirements for developement/Production machine besides .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2008 Express edition.I am confused between various providers.
Developement:
.NET Framework/VS 2008 Express.
Production Server.
Win2003 Server with IIS
please correct me if I am missing any other elements required to connect to a remote DB Server or Local one. If any provider is needed how do you deploy it at production server?
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 used ASD.NET code using SQL Database for Transaction operation successfully. By changing the Database Code to interface with MYSQL an Error occurs. If I remove the Transaction Code from within the the application, it works OK by displaying the MYSQL data (Read Only) in the layout of the application.

what might be the problem?
quick question on SQL Studio Mgt Expres (SSMES) 2208. I have been googling around but could not find a clear cut answer to this simple issue:Is it possible to connect to a remote db using SSMES 2008? The options at login appear to be restricted to Database Engine and SQL Server Compact Edition only. On the SSME 2005 version, there was an option to connect to remote db's usging server name & pwd. Has this feature been disabled in the 2008 Express version?
View 2 RepliesI'm busy working on an ASP.NET Web Application (3.5) and can't seem to connect to a MySQL DB. I first created the entire application using a WinForms template and everything works 100%, but as soon as I move the exact same code to the Web Application, I can't connect anymore. Here's the code:
Code:
public class DBC {
OdbcConnection connection;
public bool CreateConnection() {
try {
string connFormat = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=[SERVER];Database=[DBNAME];User=[UID];Password=[PWD];";
connFormat = connFormat.Replace("[SERVER]", Properties.Settings.Default.DBServer);
[Code] .....
As soon as I try to create the new OdbcConnection instance, I get the error:
Code: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
As noted this works in a WinForms app, and even more strange is that I don't even specify a DSN name...
All I could find from reading through forums all over the internet is suggestions of downgrading the MySQL ODBC driver version, which I'd really rather not...
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.
View 3 RepliesI 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 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 .
View 1 RepliesAfter 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.
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.
