MS SQL Database Question

I have shared hosting that can support SQL databases. i currently use
access. whats the process in...
a. converting access to sql
b. uploading the database file

is it the same as access, where i just ftp the .sql file online or is it
more complicated (i dabbled with mysql databases and that was a text based
nightmare - i hope MS Sql isnt as difficult)

With SQL 7 and above, you can detach a database file from the server,
copy/ftp the file to the destination server and attach it to the destination
SQL Server.

Another way is to take a backup of the database, copy/ftp the backup file to
the remote server where you restore it to the destination server.

If you need to make design changes to an existing database, the best method
is to run scripts containing DDL sql statements. However, there are free
web-based administration tools which can be used to make design changes in
much the same way that you would use Enterprise Manager:

You can also use DTS to transfer a copy of the structure, or structure AND
data. However this often misses important things like IDENTITY properties,
constraints, defaults, etc.

Hi, I'm developing a socket program to connect to Informix database through the ODBC. In here i called my socket program as "tap" . My tap will listen for data from unix through port 1070.

I have a system that basically stores a database within a database (I'm sure lots have you have done this before in some form or another). At the end of the day, I'm storing the actual data generically in a column of type nvarchar(4000), but I want to add support for unlimited text. I want to do this in a smart fashion. Right now I am leaning towards putting 2 nullable Value fields: ValueLong ntext nullable ValueShort nvarchar(4000)...

Hello, The title doesn't completely cover the question I have, but it's a bit more complicated problem we have.

In doing they indicated we could recover the SQL database faster if needed, we could also...
