How to develop database locally and post to web host?

I have MSSQL 2005 Express installed locally. I've developed a database and
would like to copy it to my web host to be accessed using some ASP code.
Everything appears to be OK, except for one issue that I can't figure out.
HOW do I take my local database and upload it to my host?
I do have the MS SQL Server 2005 Express Manager installed and can connect
to both my local SQL 2005 server and my hosts SQL 2003 server.
How are databases normally developed for web applications?Hi,
"SQL 2003 server." There is no SQL 2003 Server. If your hoster doesn=B4t
offer you to restore backups you ade on your test system. You can
either use scripts changing your database which can be applied on the
server, or you can transfer objects to your hosters db. I am alqys
doing a whole *backup* (with transfering the database objects to my
local machine) doing changes and reapply them on the *productional*
server.

If you developed database file using Visual Studio, you can attach database
on the host.
And can modifiy connection string.

How to develop database locally and post to web host?

Hongju - can you be a little more specific on how to back up and restore the
databases. I have a very similar problem. I created a project that has a
database in APP_DATA. I'm hosting on GoDaddy and I need to take the APP_DAT
A
database (.mdf) and move it to one of their MySQL databases. I have no clue
on how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You will most likely need to modify them some to get them to work.
It's probably a good idea not to generate scripts for everything at
once, but to start with the tables first, then the views, then the SP's
etc etc...

How to Deploy Reports to a Production Environment

Our situation is that we are developing a set of "master" reports locally
using Visual Studio .NET 2003 (and, of course, the Reporting Services
designer). Once the master reports are finished, we will need to install
these reports to our customers' computers (their computers are not a part of
our network, we don't have access to them to deploy from our computers and
the Visual Studio .NET 2003 solution/project). And then we will need to
deploy to the ReportServer on their server.
Additionally, the customers' server will have VB .NET installed (the basic
edition to allow RDL development).
So, should we simply copy the solution, project, RDS, and RDL files to the
customers' server, then open the solution in VB .NET, and deploy? Or is
there a better way?
Also, since we are developing the master reports in a solution/project in
Visual Studio .NET on our local development servers, is there any
compatibility issues in trying to open that same solution in VB .NET on the
customers' server?
Thanks.I would think the easiest way would be to build a quick app to do this using
the CreateReport SOAP Api. You could then make this app as simple or
complex as you need it and not need to worry about your customers having any
VS components. We shipped a sample app (RSExplorer I believe) that does
allow you to deploy but it would have to be modified if you wanted to easily
upload a directory of rdls.
