Free 20Mb database for website

Hi,
I can see how to add a Free 20Mb SQL database to Windows Azure Mobile service. Can I create a free 20Mb SQL database for website use, I see it is detailed on the pricing page for websites, but I cannot see any option in the management portal in the websites
section or the database section to create this / these 20Mb SQL databases.
Update: I can also see how to link to the DB created in the mobile service in the Linked Resources. So not a hinderance I guess, just not intuitive to me. 
I'm probably missing something simple :-(
Paul

Ok so here is how i did it!
Create Mobile Service with a free 20MB database. I used North Europe
Create an application in Visual Studio (select host in Azure and ensure authentication is selected)
Publish your site and ask it to create a website in azure for you
When publishing your site, in the settings section, you can insert a DB connection string there. Ensure the site is created in the same region as the database else your site will be slower and you will be charged for bandwidth (i found this out in
azure when playing around with creating a mobile service and database)
Go into azure and select your database then "show connection strings"
Copy the string, put your password in and paste into visual studio before publishing.
Test it and it should work. If it doesn't, in Azure, you can add a firewall rule in the same window you copied the db connection string from.
Publish your site
In Azure, go to your website then select linked services and ensure ONLY your free database is in there. I found it sometimes creates a GB database. You don't want that in there as it charges you as you populate it.
Then again in your website area, go to "Configure" and scroll down to connection strings
Paste your conn string in there as well as a key value. The key being the conn string name in visual studio web.config and the value being the conn string
Thats all I did and it works.

  • What actually happens @Completed filling free space info for database

    Hello,
    i see some strange thing with my 15.7 Ase server
    Earlier for a very big db of around 1TB the recovery time would be around 15Mins( i mean for the 1TB db to come online).
    Now its taking only seconds to come up.
    so wanted to check what actually happens in this stage.
    Started filling free space info for database 'xxx'
    Completed filling free space info for database 'xxx'
    The difference is that we have created new server and bcpd the data into it.
    Please can someone explain.
    Thanks

    ASE keeps counters in memory of the amount of free space available on devices and segments.  When ASE is shutdown cleanly (aka "politely"), these values are flushed to disk and used to initialize the in-memory counters on reboot.  If ASE is shutdown abruptly, the values have to be recalculated, a process which involves either reading every OAM page in the database or every Allocation page.

    ASE tracks the free space available on each segment in memory.
    If the server is shut down politely, ASE can store the current values on disk and retrieve them at startup.  However, if the server is shutdown abruptly (shutdown with nowait, crash, power failure, kill -9, etc.) the free space figures don't get written out.  In that case ASE has to recalculate the free space values by reading all the allocation pages or OAM pages in the database.  On a big database, that can take time.
    Your main choices are to
    1) wait it out
    2) set the "no freespace accounting" database option and reboot
    Disabling free-space accounting for data segments
    While recovery will be much faster with freespace accounting turned off, there are side effects such as unexpected 1105 errors (no free space...) and thresholds not firing as expected.  In general I'd advise waiting it out and trying to avoid the use of "shutdown with nowait" going forward (which may or may not be what brought the server down, but it is the main cause you can control).

  • Secure login to sql 2012 database for webusers

    We build up a new website in .net mvc 4.0 on a w2012 server with MSSQL 2012 database.
    We use windows autentification and normal anonymous access through NT AUTHORITY\IUSR who is also a login in the database.
    But we make extra login possibility for users who are registered and they can insert and modify data in some tables in the database. And I'am afraid of giving NT AUTHORITY\IUSR insert and update for some column in tables.
    I think of set up a new login for the database. Run a new connection string on login and set up special permission for that extra user on the database, set up a new role and let the new user become member, but also let the user become a member of the ordinary
    user(roles) in the database.
    Have anyone any idea what is the best practice here and the most secure way to do it? 
    Any links for other resources about this topic?
    Or perhaps my fear for using NT AUTHORITY\IUSR is groundless
    And perhaps someone has links to resources for using SQL server as a backendserver for websites. 
    Knut from Norway!

    I don't know much about web servers, which may explain your alternatives entirely.
    But, if you use the same connection string for reads that you do for updates, then you must control all permission for writes in the web app. And you must be sure that you only use parameterised SQL or stored procedures, so that there is no risk for SQL
    injection.
    If you give special logins for the users with read access, they would need their own accounts in SQL Server. If this is an intranet site, the web server may be able to impersonate these users and then connect to SQL Server. If that does not work out, you
    would have to create SQL logins for these.
    Obviously, this requires more administration, but it is also more secure, because you are adding a line of defence. Even if your application is free from SQL injection vulnerabilities today, some new badly educated kid on the block could open a hole two
    years later.

  • Compression tecniques for website use urgently needed

    Hi there
    I am creating short movies (about 2-5 mins) in Imovie HD and i want them to be downloadable from my website as a file (not streamed etc). I want the picture quality to be very good but the sound can be mono as its not as important. I need to keep file sizes to about 20mb or less. I am told that 320 x 240 is the size to go for websites - is that true?
    My problem is that both PC and Mac users will be wanting to download the movies so compatability is very important. What file type should i go for (mpg, mov, avi, wmv) and what compression should i choose for the best cross platform compatability?
    If anyone can help, i would be so grateful. If anyone has any good settings that they have tried and tested - that would be fantastic.
    Many, many thanks
    Daniel

    I would create .mov ..that's to say QuickTime.. files: every Mac user has QuickTime on their machine, and Windows users often already have it, or can be guided to simply download it.
    I've tried an assortment of compression codecs, and have found that a 'hardwired' codec-in-a-chip, rather than using software to compress, gives the fastest and sharpest results. So I run my mini-movies through an Archos recorder/player (..predecessor of the video iPod..) which encodes all incoming video in DivX format.
    This plays great in QuickTime, except for the sound, which is - by default - hidden. So I run the resultant small video file through a little free program called 'DivX Validator', which resets the sound to the proper QuickTime format.
    I then post that 'validated' compressed file on the web (..on my Homepage..) and it's playable by all versions of QuickTime, both old and new. [NOTE that only the latest QuickTime 7 seems to be able to play back videos encoded through the recent QT 7 H.264 hi-quality codec ..but DivX looks just as good, and can be played in any QT versions.]
    Here's what a DivX-encoded movie looks like.. [This is a still slideshow burned to a DVD ..when it starts.. not moving video, and DivX really does justice to the hi-quality stills. And as DivX produced a small file size, it can be downloaded quickly!]
    Other people will probably have other recommendations..

  • I want to use Berkely database for my Dissertation

    Hello everyone,
    I am having some doubts regarding Berkely database. Actually, I am using this database for my project. The scenario of the project is, I have developed some business rules depending on the concept of Ripple Down Rules and represented the rules using Conceptual graphs. Now I want to store fire these business rules in to the Berkely database, so that my application can use these business rules from the Berkeley database.
    This is the context of my project. But, I am very new to this Berkely database. I have downloaded the Berkely database from the Oracle website and also installed it. The OS is am using is Windows XP SP2. Can anyone explain me how to store Conceptual graphs in a Berkely database.
    I am really a beginner to Berkely database. i don't even know what to do after installing the Berkely database. Please advise me about this.
    I would be very thankful to you.
    Cheers,
    Phani.

    Hi Phani,
    The simple answer is however you want. Berkeley DB doesn't put any constraints on how you store data in it. Its main purpose is to provide an efficient and scalable key/value storage and retrieval system, upon which you can build your own data storage system.
    More specifically, if you're representing graph data, the simplest way to do so is with the "edge list" paradigm. You could, for example, set up a pair of databases, one to store all your graph nodes (with associated metadata) and one for directed edges. I'm not sure what particular c structures you'll want to use for these, but I'd suggest using record numbers on both the nodes and the edges DBs, unless all your nodes have unique and meaningful names. I'd also allow duplicate records on your edges DB, and have a very simple record structure in it that simply maps from a source node id to a destination node it (the duplicates allow multiple edges from a given node.)
    If you have more specific constraints on your graph and algorithms you'd like to run on it, there are potentially more schemes you could use, such as the nested set representation for trees, and so on.
    Hope this helps,
    Daniel

  • I downloaded Aperture and now I'm getting a "There was an error opening the database for Library " and I can't do anything else.  How can I fix it so I am once again able to run Aperture?

    I Downloaded Aperture from the Apple Website then proceeded to download all my picture's frp, IPhoto.  The very next time I opened Aperture an error poped up stating, There was an error opening the database for Library "blank".  I can't do anything with the program but hit the cancel buttom which closes the program.  How do I fix it?

    Is "blank" the name of your Aperture Library? If not, then Aperture is pointing to the wrong Library. Hold down the option (⌥) key while you launch Aperture by clicking it in the Applications Folder. Then select the correct library and press the "choose" button.
    If that does not help, try to repair your library:
    Locate Aperture library in Finder. Holding down the keys option (⌥) +command (⌘) and double click on Aperture Library to show the First Aid dialogue:
    Then try to start Aperture again.  If that also should fail, try the other steps in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805

  • Help with structuring SQL databases for multiple photo galleries..help!?!

    Hello all,
    As a new PHP/SQL developer I have found great technical assistance from both this forum and from David Powers and his wonderful books. I am at a crucial point in my web development and although I believe I know which direction I need to go, I am still uncertain and so I appeal to you all for your help, especially David Powers.
    The website I am building is one which will house many photo galleries. I was able to successfully modify the code provided in David Powers’ book ‘php Solutions’ so that I got the photo galleries constructed and working in the manner I desired.
    That being said, a person browsing my website will be presented with a link to see the photo galleries. There will be five (5) categories in which the photos will be separated, all based on specific styles. Now that I have the galleries working, I need to know how to structure things so that I can create a page, like a TOC (table o’ contents) that shows all photo galleries by displaying a thumbnail image or two along with the description. Perhaps I’ll limit the TOC page to only show the latest 25 galleries, arranged with the most current always on top.
    The way I have my galleries set up, I have a separate database for each one, containing the photo filenames and other relevant data. To build my TOC structure, should I have an overall database that contains each gallery database filename along with category? This is where I have no idea what I’m doing so if my question sounds vague, please understand I have no other idea how to ask.
    The site will grow to the point of having hundreds, if not thousands of photo galleries. I simply want to know how to (organize them) or otherwise allow me to build a method to display them in a TOC page or pages.
    I know this is a bit dodgy, but with some info and questions back from you, I feel confident that I should be able to get my point across.
    Lastly, I am still developing this site locally, so I have no links to provide (though I feel that shouldn’t be necessary right now).
    Many sincere thanks to you all in advance,
    wordman

    bregent,
    I'm chewing this over in my head, reading up on DB's in 'phpSolutions' and I think that things are slowly materializing.
    Here is the structure of the website that I have planned:
    MAIN PAGE
    User is presented with a link on the main page to select photo galleries (other links are also present). Clicking the link takes them to the Category Page.
    CATEGORY PAGE
    On this page, the User will then have 5 choices based on categories (photo style). CLicking any of these 5 links will take them to respective TOC pages.
    TOC PAGE
    On this page, the user is greeted with a vertical list of galleries or photosets; one to three thumbs on the left, a small block of descriptive text on the right (ideally containing date/time info to show how recent the gallery is). Newest galleries appear at the top. Eventually, when there are tens or hundreds of galleries in any given catrgory, I'll need to adopt a method for breaking up the qualntity in groups (we can pick 20 for example) that can be scrolled through using a small navbar. This will keep the TOC Pages from getting endlessly long and avoid endless scrolling. User selects a gallery on this page to view.
    THUMBNAIL PAGE
    On choosing a gallery, a thumbnail page is generated (I have this working already)
    IMAGE PAGE
    On selecting any thumbnail in the grid, the user is taken to the full-sized photo with a navbar and photo counter at the top. Navlinks allow forward and back, a link to the first image, a link to the last image and one link back to the thumbnail page. (I have this working already).
    I provide this info in an effort to help understand the basic structure of my site. The description above is as close to a step-by-step illustration as possible.
    Thank you!
    Sincerely,
    wordman
