Re: Which Method to Create a Database Do I Use?

Bill,
I don't know why this is so infuriatingly difficult. I would say I get a successful database connection maybe one out of every hundred attempts. And the messages are virtually useless.
Here's the current:
{"Cannot open database \"BlackBelt\" requested by the login. The login failed.\r\nLogin failed for user 'Jonathan-PC\\Jonathan'."}
I don't know how much hair I can withstand pulling out before this starts making a bit of sense to me.
Thanks.
(Also, I noticed that, when I create a database via the Server Explorer, it appears to create a DBO file instead of an MDF file. There seems to be other differences as well. I've been programming for a hundred years (almost) but feel completely useless right now.)

Either method is acceptable. They both create a database .mdf file that can be populated with appropriate schema. As a matter of fact, there are probably a half-dozen ways to create a database and populate it with schema. The fact that you're going to use it in an ASP project suggests that the SQL Server engine be located on another system in a heavily used production application, but for most other installations it does not make much difference.
I discuss how to decide in depth in my book.

"Jonathan Wood" <jwood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:%23iHid8uqHHA.3380@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIt appears there are two methods for creating a database as part of an ASP project.
I can use the Server Explorer and create a database that I can't easily see as a file, and create a connection. On the other hand, I can right click in the Solution Explorer window and select Add New Item, and then create an SQL Database. This creates an MDF file directly.
I'm having trouble getting up to speed on the database stuff and have two seemingly unrelated ways to create my database makes it all the more confusing.
Can anyone explain the difference between these two methods, and then help me understand which is the best method for creating a database to be used by my Web page?
Thanks!
