DB/Reporting :: Restricting Access To SQL Server Database
Dec 8, 2009
I have developed a Windows Forms application using VB.NET and MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. My database name is 'AC'. I do not want ANY user, SQL Server or Windows authenticated, to access, read, write to, update, drop or take backups of this database, except this login 'Adel'. So my connection string looks very similar to:[code]What configurations should I make in the MS SQL Server Management Studio 2005 Express Edition to 'Adel' login, 'AC' database, and all other logins to accomplish this?Given the following:I do not own the server; my client owns the server. They have a domain set up (LAN network).They have ASP.NET applications running using other databases on the same server. However, these applications have nothing to do with my database 'AC' or login 'Adel'.Some of their applications do not specify 'User Id' in the connection string; they use 'Integrated Security=True'.

I am asked to write a front end program in VB 2005 (that will run in client computers which running on Win XP) to access an existing MySQL database running in Linux. It is not my preferred choice, but the user have the database and server working just as he wants it, and do not wish to change, at the same time I do not wish to change programming language. Is that even possible? Can we actually write VB 2005 programs that will run in client computers complete with NET framework 2.0 to access a Linux operating database?

I have a website that currently uses a MS Access database, but I have been asked to change it to an SQL Server DB. I used the upsizing wizard and have changed the association in the web site from c3.mdb to c3.adp but I get the error "unrecognized database format. I tried using the .mdf file
Code:
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
' Fires when the application is started

I want to move my programs and the database to another computer and hard-disks. It looks to me as though I nearly have to re-create the controls and rewrite some of the code to make it so the programs still work after the move. At least with ODBC all I would change was the DSN definitions external to the programs. Is there an easy way to move or rename a database without loads of work?

For years now I have been using access as my database. But with the SQL server Express version around I have been wondering if it is not better to use this instead of access. Note: I only develop applications for small businesses and a limited set of users. So what do you guys prefer and recommend?

I'm at an absolute loss here, I've read so many different things.I just want to add new records to a database I created using SQL Server 2008 with SQL statements in Visual Basic Express 2008. But I can't even connect/get it to recognise the database I created.The database name is 'database.mdf' and is situated in the MSSQL/DATA folder. So far I've read I need to use this code;
Code:
Conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source=database.mdf"
Conn.Open()

I wrote a program in VB2005. It is a program that is supposed to run in a client computer accessing an MS Access .mdb file stored in the server. The program itself is stored and run in the clients computer. I am not good in networking at all. The way I do it now is:
1. Have a directory made in the server to hold the MS Access .mdb file, and have the directory to be shared.
2. Have the same directory accessed and mapped in the client computer (say to Z:)
3. Then have the program in the client computer simply access the database as if it is in the same computer (as the directory already mapped into the client computer). In the VB 2005, this is done when we set the connection string of the database connection.
However, my user is complaining that by doing so, the database is basically exposed to the operator of the client computer (through the mapped directory), hence more vunerable for any bad intentions from persons who may have access to the client computer but not the server. He insists that he used to have a program that does exactly the same thing like my program, but the database is shielded in the server, where it cannot be seen in the client computer (I have other people who confirm that this can be done, though they can't tell me how, since they are not programmers themselves). Now, I have no idea on how to connect a database that way, and I don't even know where to start looking.

I'm building an aplication with an MS Access database behind the scene. In many of my forms I'm gonna use DataGridViews to show data from the database, not an entire table but data based on manually built queries. So, I have few questions without answers, by now. Solutions or 1. I haven't decided how will I bring the database into the project: from the menu -> Add New Data Source, or within the code, at runtime. I still don't know which one's best or why.2. How exactly can I execute any SQL query (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE etc) on my Access database from my aplication?

I'm trying to query an access database, but my query results only display the first cell of the query results.
For example, if I select 3 columns, 5 rows, only Column 1 Row 1 is displayed. Someone mentioned something about EOF but I can't find EOF code for OleDB. Should I be using another type of connection?;
Code:
Private Sub btnGetReport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGetReport.Click

All is working well.What I Need to Do:I think I need to migrate the Access Database to MS SQL. What I Have:Visual Studio 2008 Professional. I have started the MS SQL walkthroughs. I did the �Create a Data Connection to the Northwind Database� walkthrough, and connected via MS SQL Server. I cannot find where I can modify the SQL Commands. If I convert my Access Database to a MS SQL Database then can I
1) Just update the OleDbConnection, so it connects to the MS SQL Database (not the Access database).
2) If I cannot do #1, what do I need to start with?

I'm using Access 2001 and my Database is structured as follows:
Chance(Number, Detail, Action, Amount, Owner)
CommunityChest(Number, Detail, Action, Amount, Owner)
[CODE]........
I'm making a Monopoly Game which i'll make sure i post up here when done, I'm using Visual Basics 2005 and OLEDB Connection, i know how to work all that but i have the following scenarios to find SQL for.
Upgrade Property - I need to use the Update Query for this. A PropertyName is selected from a list box and someone then clicks to upgrade a property.
Properties.HousesOwned should have it's value raised by 1 Where the player owns all 3 sets. The Houseprice should then be took off the Players Money.
Downgrade Property - I need to use the Update Query for this. A PropertyName is selected from a list box and someone then clicks to downgrade a property.
Properties.HousesOwned should have it's value lowered by 1 (until it gets to 0) Where the player owns all 3 sets. The Houseprice should then be added to the Players Money.

I'm new to Visual Basic. I came across a random number generator tutorial. Got it working fine and then I thought, Is there a way to get it to access a database Here's the thing
1. Generate the random number.
2. looks at the database and finds the corresponding id number.
3. Takes the field for that number and enters it into a text field in the program.
So for example the number generated is 32. Then the program looks at the database and looks for id number 32. then takes the text in line 32 and enters it into a textbox in the program.Now I have my database and the program. But just can't seam to figure out how to get the two connected like I want. I have looked and searched but have found nothing like it I am using Visual Basic 2010 and Access 2007.

I've been googling to find a guide on how to access a database with visual studio.I cant find anything complete or up to date. I should point out that I dont have a great deal of experience with SQL.I'm not really 100% sure where to start. Most of the guides I've found tend to assume your accessing an existing SQL database and I need to set one up from scratch. I'm not sure if I'm even setting SQL server up correctly. point me in the right direction on where to get started. A good, up to date tutorial would be great.
For my purposes the SQL database will only be written to from the local machine but there will also be another machine writing to this database.I'm currently using Visual basic Express 2010 and SQL Server Express 2008 R2, mostly because they are the most recent when I googled it.

I am trying to insert a variable in Decimal type into an Access table. When I use "decimal" field with 0 digits after the decimal separator (,) my program works properly. However, when i use the field with 2 digits after the separator I get a "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." exception. This happens also when I try to update the table. The debugger shows me that my variables contain the right values but the update or insert command gives the error.

I can't open an Access database on a mapped drive. However it works if I use the UNC path. how I can get this to work? See the code below for an example of what works and what doesn't...
Code:
mConnString = "provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\tiger-2000dvb_mt7MTrackBE.mdb" ' This works
mConnString = "provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=T:vb_mt7MTrackBE.mdb" ' this does not work
Dim objConn As New OleDbConnection(mConnString)
[code].....
The error message I receive is...'T:vb_mt7MTrackBE.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.I've done the obvious and verified that t:vb_mt7MtrackBE.mdb is a valid path.

I have 2 databases that I am working with. One is a compant customer database and the other is my personal call log. Now I am creating a front end for the Call Log. I was updating my customer list by Importing 2 tables from the customer database, a series of queries would erase all of my info, take all the data from the imported tables and move it into mine then erase the imported tables.
Im trying to accomplish the same in my VB frontend. I can connect and fill datasets from the customer database. I can erase my tables. How do I take all of this data from the newly created dataset and move it over to my empty tables?
