A year ago or so I started to develop an app in Visual Studio 2013. The database was in the SQL Server Express edition. I'm just getting back to it now. I've upgraded VS to 2015 Community edition and wanted to use the DB. But I can't open it. The error I am receiving is: The Data Source value in the connection string specifies an instance of SQL Server that is not installed. To resolve this issue, you can either choose to install the matching instance of SQL Server or modify the Data Source value in the connection string. I'm trying to figure out what version the old db is in so I can install

What should I do, change or update? Thanks in advance. The problem is that you're

We have a team of sales persons who travel often carrying a laptop loaded with Sales data in a SQL Server Express database. What are the options available to encrypt a SQL Server Express database? What's your threat model? Are you trying to stop a casual thief who's stolen a laptop, or a determined hacker? Are you trying to protect just the data, or also the schema? If you're using SQL Server Express 2005 or higher, then it supports native asymmetric encryption . But if you're trying to stop a determined hacker, then I think the best option would be to encrypt the whole disk using something

I'm trying to insert a textbox value to a database table called site_list . The site_list table contains two columns id and site_name , id set to auto increment This is the code I'm trying and when it execute there is no error, but the data is not showing up in the table SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(); conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=.\\SQLExpress;" + "User Instance=true;" + "Integrated Security=true;" + "AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|scraper_db.mdf;"; SqlCommand addSite = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO site_list (site_name) " + " VALUES (@site_name)", conn); addSite.Parameters

I've been importing thousands of records multiple times in an effort to get the import running perfectly. As a result, now when I do the live import before release, the ID columns for the auto increment column are on around 300,000. Is there any easy way to 'reset' this once I have deleted all the data from these tables?
