Using a SQL Server 2000 DB on a website

peterwilson · 2006-03-06 16:48:42

Hi If I use SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager to create a database on my machine. What do I transfer to my website for my .asp files to interact with the database? Do I save a file database.mdb? (Or is that just Microsoft Access Im thinking of?) Or is it a .mdf file? Thanks Peter

AFAIK, you rweb hosting provider will have SQL Server already setup for you. You then have to transfer your database to the website. Then just interegate the DB as if it was local.

I don't think so. You would create it on the webserver. If you have a local DB, you can generate the SQL script and srun that script on the server to recreate your DB.
