localdb

I created a new ASP.NET MVC 5 project in Visual Studio 2013 (Express for Web) and by default, the project uses LocalDb as its database, but how do you transfer or migrate the database to SQL Server? I want to use SQL Server for the database instead of LocalDb. But how? Notwithstanding this question is old, the answer didn't help me so I want to share how I solved it for my self. On Server Explorer, find your ASPNet DB. Then open it using SQL Server Object Explorer. Then go and hit Schema Compare option Then on the the Schema Compare window for the Target database, select the SQL Server data

I have a very small test application in which I'm trying to install a Windows Service and create a LocalDB database during the install process, then connect to that LocalDB database when the Windows Service runs. I am running into huge problems connecting to a LocalDB instance from my Windows Service. My installation process is exactly like this: Execute an installer .msi file which runs the msiexec process as the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account. Run a custom action to execute SqlLocalDB.exe with the following commands: sqllocaldb.exe create MYINSTANCE sqllocaldb.exe share MYINSTANCE

I'm new to SqlServer, right now I have SqlLocalDb installed to work locally. Good, but I can see two connection strings typically and both works: Data Source=(localdb)\v11.0;Integrated Security=true; and Server=(localdb)\v11.0;Integrated Security=true; What exact difference is there between the two?

I am not able to install with online installer. Can anyone point me where I can find the offline installer. I tried searching google with no help. This is similar but not for offline installer. How to install localdb separately? This is the repeated error I encounter with online installer. (might be due to firewall) Go to this page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-editions-express Click the download link to download and launch the 5 MB installer. In the Installer, select "Download Media" Direct URL: https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/0/7/907AD35F-9F9C-43A5-9789

I installed LocalDb using the SqlLocalDb.msi package and I can connect to it using SSMS using the server name (LocalDb)\v11.0 . So far so good. The problem is that when I try to connect to it via a .NET 4.5 application I get the error The server was not found or was not accessible.
