I googled but cannot find proper simple code for using backup database full and restore the backup, using defaults by using C#. I am using C# Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 evalution but I guess SQL Server 2005 and C# will work too. The Microsoft site doesn't have code regarding it, it only show description of Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo Namespace...... MSDN has a topic Getting Started in SMO that covers a lot of ground - there's also a topic called Programming Specific Tasks which shows how to do certain common tasks in C# with SMO. And there's a whole series of Getting

I'm trying to make a little app that would help me making my server backup. That app would run on my home PC so the main goal is to be able to connect to the external server, backup the selected database, dump the backup content to a string or something so I could write it on my PC disk and not the server's disk. I did that which works to write on the server's disk, but I'd like to be able to write on my PC's disk the backup's result. private bool BackupDatabase() { try { // Filename string sFileName = string.Format("{0}\\{1}.bak", _sWhereToBackup, DatabaseName); // Connection string

Am familiar with TSQL and C#, and would like to read a good book/tutorial on how to use Server Management Objects (SMO) with C# and SQL Server 2008. Any recommendations? Not a book per se - but a few good online resources: Getting

I have a database in Analysis Services on a remote server. This contains a data source for another database located on another remote server. I am trying to write a connectivity test using C# which will check the database connection between the two databases. I have been unable to do this using ADOMD.NET. I'm currently looking at using SMO to do this but I haven't had any luck so far. I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions. Update: After further research, I have come up with the below test (Please note that I intend to add more try..catch blocks and Assertions later). Also, this

1) If there is already a login 'user1' then I create a user 'user1' for database 'db1' by calling CreateDatabaseUser function 2) Else, I create a login 'user1' with password 'password1' with default database as 'db1' (only after creating db1) using CreateServerLogin and then I create user 'user1' for 'db1' using CreateDatabaseUser Method (2) throws an exception at newUser.Create(); in CreateDatabaseUser saying, Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FailedOperationException: Create failed for User 'user1'. ---> Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException: An exception occurred

I have a large database (50 million rows) containing time series data. There is a clustered index on the [datetime] column which ensures that that the table is always sorted in chronological order. What is the most performant way to read the rows of the table out into a C# app, on a row-by-row basis? You should try this and find out. I just did, and saw no performance issues. USE [master] GO /****** Object: Database [HugeDatabase] Script Date: 06/27/2011 13:27:50 ******/ CREATE DATABASE [HugeDatabase] ON PRIMARY ( NAME = N'HugeDatabase', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server

I'm attempting to retrieve the DefaultValue of all the parameters in a StoredProcedure. My application is build in C# .NET accessing a Microsoft SQL 2008 Database. I use the SqlCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters to get most of the parameter information rather efficiently however it does not return the "DefaultValue" of a parameter so I've resorted to SMO to get that particular property. Here's my current code : Server svr = new Server(new ServerConnection(new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionString"].ConnectionString))); StoredProcedure sp = svr.Databases[
