How to attach sql database file to creating .exe setup in c#

I create a Setup file and put data folder, in data folder i put database file , but the problem is i have to mannualy attach database file in sql server 2005. I have to automatically attach database file when installing setup file.

Hi
bhagvad,
Welcome to MSDN Forums!
We can implement auto attach database just use the connection string following.
1)
Add a folder named ”DB” to the project, and copy the database file into it after you detach it from your sql server.
2)
Change your connection string like this:
 <connectionStrings>
 <add name="WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Settings.BabakConnectionString"
 connectionString="Data Source=.;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\DB\Babak.mdf;Initial Catalog=test;Integrated Security=True"
 providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
 </connectionStrings>
3)
After these, the database file will auto attach to the sql server when you run your application, and the database name is “test”, you can open the sql server
management studio to find it.
In addition, you can find the connection in the app.config file through the solution explorer in vs2010. And you also can find this file under your project. With
these information, you can find it and modify it.
If there’s anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.
Best wishes,
Mike

How to locate SQL database files

Over the years I've used and discarded any number of applications, many of which created SQL databases. I'm trying to clean out various odds and ends and would like to know how to search for anything SQL. I know, for instance, that mail.app uses SQL but I have no idea where to find the database (not that I want to delete Mail!).
I'm comfortable using Terminal if that's the way to go.
Any tips on locating hidden SQL databases would really be appreciated.
Thanks!

Similar to when users delete mailbox content, moving user mailboxes doesn't reduce the size of the edb file. Instead, the database simply gains "white space" which will be filled in before the edb grows any further. Once your users
are vacated, you can remove the databases from AD per the cmdlet mentioned above. as a safety measure, that cmdlet doesn't delete the actual edb files, but once you've run it, yes, you just go and press the delete key on the files. Obviously "ctrl+a"
means all files, which isn't what we're talking about. Just the database and associated log files.

How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive

Hi, How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive ? please share some link.
Thanks and Regards, Rangnath Mali

Hi Rangnath,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move databased from C drive to D drive.
You can detach Database so that the files become independent, cut and paste the files from source to destination and attach again.
There are two similar posts for your reference:

How to attach a text file as an attachment to email message?

Hello Everybody,
I have a .csv file, in which details about emp-id, emp-name, e-expenses for Reimbursement and email address are stored.
My application reads this .csv file, and sends a mail to each employee with his id, salary details in text format. (by changing content type to "text/plain") The code is working fine. But,
My problem is:
The message is sent as message body to the end user.
The end user / the person who receives this mail will not be a technical person. So,
1) If he trys to take a print out of this e-mail, He get only half of it.(as no. of colums will be more than paper size).
2) I am finding alignment problem. IF employee name is too big, other columns will shift to right and data will not be exactly under column header. (it is going in zig zag way)
So, I thought sending text file with all the details as an attachment might do well.
But, I don't know how to attach a text file to email-message body.
code
try
 { String s1="";
 File f1 = new File(the path);
 FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(f1); //new
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
 int count=0;
 while((s1=br.readLine())!=null )
 count++;
 //out.println("within while loop "+count);
 StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s1,",");
 if ((st.hasMoreTokens())&&(count>1))

Any help will be appreciated.

How to restore sql database in Private Azure Cloud subscription?

I want to restore my database bacpac file
into Private
cloud Azure Subscription but I do not get any option in Azure portal :(
Is there any way to do this?
questions I asked here at stackoverflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28847844/how-to-restore-sql-database-in-private-azure-cloud-subscription

Hi itsashuthinks,
Currently for private cloud Azure there is no Import/Export Service to import your BACPAC file into SQL Database.
Because of this you will need to use client tools.
The process to do this is the following.
Open SSMS and connect to your cloud server.
Right click on "Databases" under your server in object explorer and select import data-tier application.
Follow the import wizard instructions to start the import.
Learn more about Data-tier applications and migrations here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210546.aspx
Hope this helps!

How to organize RAC database files on ASM

How to Organize RAC database files on ASM.
Say,
DISK Group = DATA

Instance = prod1, prod2
'+DATA/PROD/datafiles/'
or
Need to Organize sepratly for each instance specific db files.
as
'+DATA/PROD1/datafiles'
'+DATA?PROD2/datafiles'
Thanks in Advance,

It would be just PROD - since that's the database name...and BTW, when you use DBCA to create a database using ASM, it organizes data files under PROD and it doesn't use instance names.

Basic question on SQL database file structure

I'm learning to use JDBC / databases . I'm using JBuilder3 professional and HSQL (aka Hypersonic). I've
been following the Java Tutorial on learning databases.
So far I've sucessfully
set up the drivers / URL etc
connected to the URL
created a database (COFFEEBREAK , as per the tutorial)
added tables
added data
queried the database
------------- with the tutorial , so far so good. --------
My only database experience prior to this was using Microsoft access, where tables, data, queries etc are all
stored in one file <myfile.mdb>
But with the example I am following, not one but 4 files have been created:
COFFEEBREAK.data
COFFEEBREAK.backup
COFFEEBREAK.properties
COFFEEBREAK.script
the COFFEEBREAK.data file, looks like this (one line) in a text editor:
padding="0" cell
After I added data , using SQL ,I was expecting this file to grow ("as data rows were added") , but no change at all - still just one line.
The file that DOES change is the COFFEEBREAK.script file. The SQL instructions get added to the end of the file eg :
<various lines>
INSERT INTO FILES VALUES('.\COFFEEBREAK.properties','COFFEEBREAK.properties')
INSERT INTO FILES VALUES('.\COFFEEBREAK.data','COFFEEBREAK.data')
INSERT INTO COFFEES VALUES('French_Roast',49,8.99,0,0)
INSERT INTO COFFEES VALUES('Espresso',150,9.99,0,0)
INSERT INTO COFFEES VALUES('Colombian_Decaf',101,8.99,0,0)
INSERT INTO COFFEES VALUES('French_Roast_Decaf',49,9.99,0,0)
I had been expecting a single file ( a la Microsoft access) , with the data in it and not readable in ascii form.
Am I misunderstanding the structure of SQL / DBMS files , or is this just a pecularity of Hypersonic ??
How do I ship a finished Java application where a database can be interrogated - will the *.script file have to be shipped too? If so , all the data is there , so how is the DBMS password protected?
I'm confused ! Thanks in advance
M.

Thanks again for the response trejkaz.
If the database were encrypted, you could just use an ordinary SQL query tool to dump >> all the records to a text file, which would be just as readable as the .script file!I had in mind if the user name was "Bill" with his (self selected ) password "hisPass" then the encryption key would be derived from a mangled version of those two bits of data (eg qazBillwsxhisPass or whatever). As long as the mangling mechanism was secret hopefully that would stop access through regular SQL query tools.
You're giving them the software to read the database anyway .. what's the difference if they >> read the info from the flat file, compared to reading it through a program? Through the program the data is view only (maybe with a limited subset of the fields for printing). With a flat file a potential competitor gets a jump start by having an electronic copy to bootleg.
Two examples occurred to me, one simple & one closer to what I'm trying to achieve
1) An example of a multiple choice database for students where the computer tells them how they have done - couldnt the students just look up the answers beforehand in the script file ?
2) (hypothetical example) Suppose I'm an expert on gardening & I want to set up 'electronic garden advice' Inc. I prepare a database, say about 3000 records. A typical record may have a layout based on :
question
question ref. number
region
garden style ref.
plant type main
plant type sub
disease-prone?
commercial/non commercial
criticality weighting %
substitute plants
recommended treatments
preferred season
etc . Most of us can imagine more possible fields
Anyone can pay the $ , download the database & set themselves up as an expert, maybe extracting sub sets of the data, depending on their customers needs.
But any printouts might only have say the question & question number so the whole database woulnd't be printed to a text file from my Java app . (The non printed fields are used within the Java app say for cross referencing alternatives etc) so the whole database couldn't be downloaded via a print routine to a text file.
At the moment my options seem to be:
1) different SQL database , where the data isnt stored in ascii readable form
2) Just use a csv text file instead of dbms & write my own encryption
3) Encrypt the HSQL script file, have the java app decrypt it to a temp scratch file & load that way . (the problem there seems that in a multitasking OS, the user just copies the scratch file)
4) somehow do the decryption after loading from an encrypted script file but before presenting the data on screen.
5) any other ideas you can recommend...?!
Apologies for the long response, my thoughts on this are still evolving
Thanks again

How to query a database file on my hard drive?

Hi,
I have a filer called "server.dbs" on my hard drive. It is a database file. I use a simple program that allows you to view databases, and it loads up and I can traverse the database and see all the entries as any standard database.
So I figured that Java's ability to handle SQL would allow me to make a standard SQL statement querying the database, and be able to get the results. The software stores servers in SID fields, and the value is the port the server runs on. I want to make a simple query to select a server by SID, and print the port in which that server is running on.
So is there any way to, via my java application, load a database from a file (rather than a url) which has no authentication required, and simply make my queries directly to that file? If so, how?
Thanks!
-Josh

Normal database access is via JDBC.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/index.html
To use that JDBC driver is needed to access the database. Databases in wide usage all have one. It isn't clear from your posting that you have a common database though.
