I am trying to migrate from Access Database to SQL server database. Do I need to make changes (for saving, reading, deleting etc. data) to my code as well?
I understand I need to change connection but what about code?
how i can migrate a sql server database to mysql? I have an app (developed with VB 2003) that it works with a big DB SQL server. But the user wants to migrate to MySQL.
View 11 RepliesI have an Access data base back end that contains only the tables that was created in the year 2005 (by someone no longer here so cannot answer much about past and I am not very familiar with Access). When I use SSMA 2005 for Access v4.0 to migrate to SQL 2005 a table with images (defined as OLE Object) the ones that appear in the Access table as bitmap will work fine, there are ones that appear in the Access table as "Microsoft Photo Editor 3.0 Photo" or "Picture" that will not. I set up a data source and used tableadapters in a VB Windows Form and used data binding by dragging the column from the data table and dropping it on a predefined picture box on the form (this basic method works fine for all the other columns in the table). I am using Visual Studio 2008.
The Access database is over 130 megs and we are migrating it to make it available across a network to multiple and sometimes distant sites. [Code] I have used all the extensions defined in Photo Editor and this .obd is just another one I have tried to see if that makes any difference. I tried moving the array to a variable defined as an Image and then moving that to the picture box and that failed too. [Code]
I have developed some software(vb.net) that records fees paid by the students. The purpose is that the database should be stored in a server, which can be accessed from any stations linked with it.This is working fine with a network of 10 computers. I need to publish it over the net so people could do this job logging in over internet. Database (access database) should be stored on a web based server.
View 1 RepliesI have a suite of programs that currently store PDF files as BLOBs in a SQL Server database table. The purpose of this design is to take advantage of Adobe's PDF iFilter and Microsoft's Full-Text Search functionality to allow other modules of my suite to run queries against the contents of a PDF file.This has been a huge headache, however, resulting in databases that are gigantic and unwieldy. We have also run into problems getting the Adobe PDF iFilter to play nice at times. Further, re-creating the entire full-text index on an 80 GB database can take a looooooong time (when it works at all!).So, the new idea is to use the open source XPdf library to extract a copy of the textual contents from each PDF file, and instead of storing the entire BLOB, merely store that textual data for the full-text functionality. Then, instead of storing the whole PDF file in the database, it will be stored somewhere on the server's file system.My issue relates to that last bit, storing the file on the server's file system, and the subsequent serving of that file out to remote users. Currently, with the entire BLOB residing inside of SQL, it has been very simple (though not easy) to manipulate the BLOB from the server to the client and vice versa. Sending the files across the network in chunks worked out well, too. I'm not sure how to do what I want to do now, though. I'm thinking that it's not a good solution to simply make a network share where all of the PDF files are stored and let the remote user view them by issuing a: Process.Start("{remote file share}filename.pdf")What I would LIKE to do is the following:
1. A Search is run, and the end user selects a file for viewing.
2. The SQL Server knows where the file resides on the local file system.
3. Something (on the server) issues a command to create a temp copy of the file at a safe location that is shared over the network.
4. The client's program then opens the file using a web browser.
Advantages:
1. The main body of the PDF files are protected and hidden from the prying eyes of those who shouldn't see them.
2. PDF files with Fast Web View enabled will load in a linear fashion, improving user experience.
Drawbacks:
1. I don't know what the "something" is in #3 above.
2. I don't know what happens when a file type other than ".pdf" is the target of the URL in a web browser. I know simple image formats will just open, but what if the file is ".doc/x". What about any other file type? Is it the same as issuing a "Process.Start("") to the UNC path?

View 8 RepliesI'm making a VB.NET application with an SQL Server 2005 in the background. Naturally the user can not edit the database directly but will use a number of UI features to be able to add and modify the data.However, there are a few tables that should be easily accessible from the admin interface such as specific information about a vendor. What's the easiest way to let the user edit this data freely? One way would be to use a DataGridView but this could appear complicated to the user, plus I'm not sure exactly when to save the edited data back to the database.
The best way that I can think of is to create custom dialog boxes for adding, deleting and changing the information, but this seems like too much work for such a small feature.

it is a GUI application, and the only book i have on the subject deals mostly with console applications. I also added the data source to the project in visual studio. please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to correct it?
I just started learning VB 2010 through a book. I'm learning vb to design a program which can manage customers of a small company as a homework. It'll store data (Company Name, Phone N. and Adress) at an Access Database. (I'm using Access 2007)
I have a little background with programming but none with databases. According to the book there is no way I can delete, add or update a data from an Access Database without installing SQL Server or Express. But this program should work at a computer which may or may not have SQL server or MS Access (Any computer with Windows OS).
After a little digging only thing I could find was Walkthrough: Saving Data to a Database (Multiple Tables) from MSDN and did every step and at the end, I can delete or add rows and change values of the cells but cannot save them (when I click save, close the program and re-open it, changes are gone).
I don't get that how can I view all the data from database without SQL server but can't save changes to the database file without SQL Server.
Is there a way to do this without SQL Server? If so, can you give the right code for the MSDN Walkthrough's Save button? Or point me to a page where can i learn the right code?

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'.
View 2 Repliesi am trying to publish a vb.net project that has is connected to a database. the project can be published and installed and runs fine without the data base part. i get following error message: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): 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.

i assume that it simply cant find the database. where do i need to adjust the database file settings to make this work.
I would like to create a server program that accesses an "ms access" database. I will also need a client program that connects to the server. The reason for this is that the server is a mediator for several clients. Since I am using access, I plan on maybe having 20 or 30 clients connect to the server only. The client will have access to a virtual market. So when a person buys or sells something on the market, the server mediates the transaction and etc. At the same time, the access database saves each clients data as well as the overall market data.

At the moment i have an access database file just sat in a folder on my employers server which every computer can see. We can all run an application i have done which we can add/update/delete records/rows on te access database.I was told that access can be temperamental if too many people are using it at once, and that i should look into changing it to a sql server database ? Can a sql database just sit independently like the access database and is it just similar code except for the connection ?

I've been researching for days and I've gotten to the point where my WCF service creates an Access object via com/interop.I've ran the Open Current Database call for the Access object without an error but Application.CurrentDB is still nothing/null. If the CurrentDB is nothing then I surely can't call Application.Run "myFunction" I realize WCF services aren't meant to be user interactive, but it's a long story why I'm trying to go this route. Basically I need to have a proof of concept ready sooner rather than later and the alternative (correct) route involves the complete re-writing of a large complex access VBA application. It's not a permissions issue, I have the IIS user names added to the security tab. What I really need is a way to set Environment.UserInteractive to true so my WCF service can create an instance of Access on my server machine, run the VBA functions, close out, return true.I'm using VS 2010 for the WCF, IIS 7 for my server, Access 2010 for the VBA application.
