New to MSDE (but not SQL)

All,
looking to distribute MSDE with my ASP.NET app... looking for two pieces:
1) Is there a way to install MSDE with a DB already attached? I want to
install MSDE and then attach a DB, but attaching has to come after a
reboot(to start after services restart), and I would rather do it all at the
same time...
2) Good Freeware/Almost-freeware MSDE manager I can redistribute with my app
for the client

installing, just run "net start mssql$instancename" (if installing as a

also.
Distribute your database's .mdf and .ldf files and attach them using
osql.exe to execute the sp_attach_db stored procedure.

New to MS SQL Server, Need help with Windows Authentication

I am new to the whole ASP .NET scene, so my knowledge is very limited, and if I’m not clear enough please let me know.

I am reading a book published by APress about ASP .NET with C# and I am at the point where I get to begin working with data (fun!!). The problem is that I’m not able to connect to the SQL Server. I have Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005 running on a separate machine than the computer that I use for development – the server is named THESERVER, the SQL server is named THESQLSERVER, and the computer I use for development is my laptop named MYLAPTOP.

So here’s my connection string (I put this in my web.config XML file):

<add name="Pubs" connectionString="DataSource=THESERVER\THESQLSERVER;
 Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Securit=SSPI"/> 

Now here’s what my book reads: For Windows authentication to work, the currently logged-on Windows user must have the required authorization to access the SQL database. This is all it says about Windows authentication because the book assumes that I am running MS SQL Express off localhost.

Questions:

Does the book mean that I will have to add a user to my server for my laptop? If so, how do I log into this user using the connection string?What does it mean by “the current logged-on Windows user”? Is that referring to the user on my laptop, or a user on the server?

I’ve been reading around trying to find more information on exactly how Windows authentication works, but I keep coming up dry. I know that much of this is probably trivial to a lot of you, which is why I am asking because it isn’t to me.

Well, thanks in advance for any help that you can provide me.

<add name="Pubs" connectionString="DataSource=192.168.1.56;
 userid=sa; password=mypassword"/> 

In the connecting string you need to specify an ip address a user name and password if the SQL

runs in another computer, if you got integrated windows authentication is another story, but I would try with SQL authentication

|||

Thanks for the response.

I know that I can do itthis way - using SQL authentication instead - but I was hoping thatthey may be some way of doing it through the Integrated WindowsAuthentication method. The only reason why I want to do it thisway is because of the claim that it is much more secure this way. If anyone can say otherwise and prove that it isn't that much moresecure, that is relatively the same, please tell me :D. That isthe only reason that is holding me back from using th SQLauthentication approach.

Thanks again for the quick response, I really appreciate it.

|||Anyone else with suggestions/solutions?|||Actually setting it to InProc, or ServerState is as secure as SQL Sessin State|||Setting which, MS SQL Server? How do I do that?

New to asp

I am in a learning mode here as all my previous work has been with php.
I am trying to make an OLE DB connection.to SQL Server Express on my local
machine using ASP and VBscript. I followed the instructions for making a
NewConnection.udl and double clicked that, filled in the spots and tested
the connection. Everything was OK. When I put it into my asp code, using
that string in the conn.Open statement, I got the error message that it
couldn't open the database that I had specified in the connection string.
(I copied and pasted that string from the .udl file where the test
connection succeeded). This was with Windows Authorization.
I also created a user with the name ASPpage and password asptest. I gave
that user all the privileges using Sql Server Manager Studio Express. When
I changed the string so that it had a user id and a password (SQL Server
authentication), I got the message that the login failed for ASPpage. Note,
also, that I couln not create a connection with that user in Sql Server
Manager Studio Express, but I could make a connection with Windows
authentication.
The failure for the one with the user id is that the user is not associated
with a trusted SQL server connection (even though he has all privileges).
Any suggestions on how to proceed.
Here is the code:
<%
dim q, num, i, acct, coName
set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
q = "SELECT * FROM Company"
Conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security-SSPI;Persist Security
Info=False;Initial Catalog=the_database_name;Data Source=LAPTOP\SQLEXPRESS"
set rs = Conn.Execute(q)
set of = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Field")
num = rs.Count
for i=0 To num - 1
acct = of("accountNumber")
coName = of("companyName")
Response.Write(acct & " " & coName & "<br>")
next
conn.Close
%>
When I put in to user info, I removed the Integrated Security stuff.
Thanks for any help

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are saying. Where do you find
"Server Properties"? When I tried a new connection and switched from
Windows Authentication to SQL Server, it didn't work.

But looking at your connection string you have an error ... Maybe a mistype.
But here are two possible connection strings for SQL 2005:
Trusted Connection:
Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;Integrated
Security=SSPI;
SQL User Name Connection:
Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User
ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Trusted_Connection=False;
Also note if you are trying to use integrated security in ASP, the IIS
username IUSR account must have access to SQL server not your account.
Thanks!

Thanks. When I do that in SQL Server Management Studio Express and hit the
"Test" button, I get that the testing failed because the user is not
associated with a trusted SQL Serverver connection. (Error 18452)

What about "Provider"? Also, should I leave out "Persist Security Info"?
> SQL User Name Connection:
> Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User
> ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Trusted_Connection=False;
What about "Provider"? Also, I can't really test this one further until I
somehow get those credentials working in SQL Server Management Studio
Express.

Could you expand upon this please? Where do I find/set the IIS username?
Thanks.

When I tried this string (without Provider, etc.) I got an error message of
"Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status
value, if available. No work was done". This was at the Conn.Open line.
Before I removed the Provider and Persist Security, it said that it failed
to open the_database_name as requested by the login.

Please be sure that you have a LOGIN named ASPpage (or whatever) in main
Security node.
After that, be sure of that you have an appropriate USER which is associated
with that LOGIN and has necessary rights to perform its jobs in that
database.
Fire up SSMSE and go to Server Properties and go to Security and change the
Server authentication as "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode" and
restart your SQL Server service and then try again.
Checklist:
In SQL Server Express, remote connections are disabled by default. So go to
Surface Area Configurations and be sure your instance is enabled for TCP\IP
or whatever protocol you use for connection.
Go to SQL Server Configuration Manager and be sure your Network
Configuration is OK. (TCP\IP or whatever is must be enabled, IP addresses
must be entered etc.)

Already there at Windows Authentication Mode -- but I restarted anyway.

I don't know what you mean with "Surface Area Configurations" or where to
find it. I went to the configuration manager and saw to it that shared
memory, named pipes and tcpip were all enabled. I restarted the sql server.

Done. (Note that everything is taking place on my local laptop, called
LAPTOP, no external connections)
I still get the "Multiple step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check
each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done".
I don't know where or how to check these values.
My connection line is:
Conn.Open "Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=the_database_name;Data
Source=LAPTOP\SQLEXRESS"

Try "Server" instead of "Data Source" and "Database" instead of "Initial

Same result.

new Reporting Services

I just read an article online about SQL Server Reporting Services. Any
sense of whether this functionality can be embeded in an ASP.NET web
application? The article made it sound like you'd have to go to a separate
web page in order to view the reports ...
http://www.sqlmag.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=40529
Thanks in advance.
MarkYes you can. Have a look at the developer samples (if you are on B2). They
include a ReportViewer Sample ASP.NET Server Control for integrating
Reporting Services reports in a Web application. RS is basically a web
service so you can do pretty much what you want with it. Flexibility and
extensibility are key features

New in MSDE, Please help!

Hi,

I am newbie in ASP.NET and MSDE arena. I understand that MSDE has no GUI and I need to have MSDE tools to work with it. I have already installed ASP.NET 1.1 and Microsoft.NET SDK 1.1 and MSDE in my Windown Professional 2000 PC and I have run and tested for .aspx and its working perfectly. But I want to use MSDE to create some database driven web applications.

Could you please help me how I can do that? BTW, I installed Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator and its giving me SQLWebAdminStart.exe Application error and asking for debugging while opening the program. I am stranded what to do now?

I really appreciate your help.

regards,
Peter-Toronto
(Linux, PHP, MySQL)Hello Peter again,

I want to ask you which tools are you using to build your ASP.net application. If you'r using WebMAtrix project, then you can easly create your own database by going to Data Tab(located on the right section of the webmatrix page). Then go to "Aadd database connection". from there you can choose whether you want to create MSDE or Access databases. finally, you can go through the next steps to create your database. It is easy steps.

I hope it is clear now.

New Id

I am using Microsoft Visual Studios 2005 Pro creating a web form in asp.net with a vb.net code page. I am trying to get the id of a newly inserted record. I am using the sqldatasource insert command to insert the record. Does anybody know how to return the new id. during the insert? Thanks, Any help is appreciated

there are basically 2 ways of doing that.

1. Create ID before you do insert using something like SELECT Max(id) +1 FROM ... Use this approach if you ID field is not set as a identity column

2. If your id field is an identity field then you can write a stored procedure that inserts the record and then you do something like

SET @.ID = scope_identity()

Where @.ID is your output parameter or you can return it as a return value.

|||

Here is a modified sample from Quickstarts tutorial with inline SQL for insert (ContactID is the Identity field of the table):

ProtectedSub SqlDataSource1_Inserted(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSourceStatusEventArgs)

Response.Write("Record Inserted: " + Server.HtmlEncode(e.Command.Parameters("@.ContactID").Value.ToString()) +"<br/>")

EndSub

<asp:GridViewAutoGenerateColumns="False"DataKeyNames="ContactID"DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"

ID="GridView1"runat="server">

<Columns>

<asp:CommandFieldShowDeleteButton="True"/>

<asp:BoundFieldDataField="ContactID"HeaderText="ContactID"InsertVisible="False"

ReadOnly="True"SortExpression="ContactID"/>

<asp:BoundFieldDataField="ContactName"HeaderText="ContactName"SortExpression="ContactName"/>

</Columns>

</asp:GridView>

<asp:SqlDataSourceConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MSDN_forumConnectionString %>"ID="SqlDataSource1"

runat="server"SelectCommand="select ContactID, ContactName from Contacts"

InsertCommand="INSERT INTO Contacts (ContactName) VALUES (@.contactName);SELECT @.contactID = Scope_Identity()"

OnInserted="SqlDataSource1_Inserted"DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM Contacts WHERE ContactID = @.ContactID">

<InsertParameters>

<asp:ParameterName="contactName"Type="String"/>

<asp:ParameterDirection="Output"Name="contactID"Type="Int32"/>

</InsertParameters>

<DeleteParameters>

<asp:ParameterName="ContactID"/>

</DeleteParameters>

</asp:SqlDataSource>

<br/>

<asp:DetailsViewAutoGenerateRows="False"DataKeyNames="ContactID"DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"

DefaultMode="Insert"HeaderText="Insert New Contact"Height="50px"ID="DetailsView1"

runat="server"Width="125px">

<Fields>

<asp:BoundFieldDataField="ContactID"HeaderText="ContactID"InsertVisible="False"

ReadOnly="True"SortExpression="ContactID"/>

<asp:BoundFieldDataField="ContactName"HeaderText="ContactName"SortExpression="ContactName"/>

</Fields>

orka777:

there are basically 2 ways of doing that.

1. Create ID before you do insert using something like SELECT Max(id) +1 FROM ... Use this approach if you ID field is not set as a identity column

2. If your id field is an identity field then you can write a stored procedure that inserts the record and then you do something like

SET @.ID = scope_identity()

Where @.ID is your output parameter or you can return it as a return value.

For Number 1, is correct but might no be that good even it will do the job for you.

For Number 2, the code should be like:

1SET @.MyIdentity =@.@.IDENTITY

Where @.MyIdentity in an output parameter of type int.

Here I prefere to not return the identity of the inserted record as an output parameter, I perefere to return it using the Return statment in the stored procedure., like:

1CREATE PROCEDURE MySP23AS45SET NOCOUNT ON67declare MyIdentityint-- as a normal variable in the stored procedure body89Insert Into MyTable (col1, col2)values ('A','B')10SET @.MyIdentity =ISNULL(@.@.IDENTITY,-1)-- if no record is inserted then you will get -1111213Return @.MyIdentity1415SET NOCOUNT OFF16

Good luck.|||

I am trying to do this through the sqldatasource1.insert statement that I have built using the querybuilder. When I try to put in the @.ID as an output or as a return value It says I need to declare the scalar variable. I have already added in the parameters area and it is set to output with the control being the textbox that I want the Id in. But when I add the line "SET @.NewID = scope_identity()" or "SET @.NewID = @.@.identity" then I get an error on both @.NewId and @.SN which is another scalar variable which normally works fine and works fine again after I pull that line out. But I'm not doing it as a stored procedure. Could that be the problem? I don't know about stored procedures. How do I create them?

|||

I don't know about stored procedures. How do I create them?

Just check my last post, it is a complete running fine example.

Anyway.. here is a very simple example:

1CREATE PROCEDURE MyStoredProcedureName2@.MyInputParameterint,-- input parameter of type integer3@.MyOutputParameterint OUTPUT-- output parameter of type integer45AS67-- write you statments here8-- and here9-- and here as well :)1011-- how to set a value for ourput parameter12SET @.MyOutputParameter = 100-- just for example1314-- how to increment the input parameter by 1 (for example)15SET @.MyInputParameter = @.MyInputParameter + 1161718/* At the end you the @.MyOutputParameter output parameter value19 will be 100 (as per the logic in this simple example20 Did you see how easy it is to created a stored procedure? */21

Good luck.

|||

I understand the stored procedure from looking at your last statement and this one, but I am not sure where to create it

|||

Carehalf:

Create you stored procedures in your application/project database.

Example:

USE MyDatabase
GO

Then the CREATE PROCEDURE statment as in my last two posts.

Good luck.

|||

Carehalf:

Create a table in your database and copy the code sample I posted (change the connection string in the code) and check the syntax to work for you if you don't want to create the Stored Procedure.

Here is the table definition:

CREATETABLE [dbo].[Contacts](

[ContactID] [int]IDENTITY(1,1)NOTNULL,

[ContactName] [nvarchar](50)

)

new database, set userid and password

I am creating a new application and just created a new database

Application: VB.net 2005/ ASP.net

Database: Sql Server 2005 with four tables

I need to set the userid and password on the database. How do I do that?

I want to be able to create a SQL connection object in my code and I have something like the following:

<CODE>

Dim objconAsNew SqlConnection("server=serverName;uid=;pwd=;database=SomeDatabase")

</CODE>

but the "uid" and the "pwd" are not set on my database. what is an easy way to do this? thanks

This site has complete connection strings in all pop db systems:http://www.connectionstrings.com/

Both Windows Auth and SqlServer Auth has examples in the site.

|||

I recommend that you use windows integrated authentication

Simply make sure that the user identify of the application pool in which your application lives has login rights to your database. Then you don't have to store the password in your config file or your code.

Check this outhttp://weblogs.asp.net/achang/archive/2004/04/15/113866.aspx

Hi

Yes Matt you are right.

By windows authentication we can achieve this.

First use windows authentication, create user, give him neccessary rights, and mapped this user with your newly created database.

and now in your webconfig provide this username and password to connect this database.

I hope this will helpful u...

|||

Preferably you do not put the username and password in the web.config

If we are using windows integrated authentication, then you want to give permission to the windows account that your application runs under on the database. Then you do not have to worry about password in the config file.
