ASPPlayground.NET Database Installer Readme

System requirements:

  • Web Server capable of running encoded ASP scripts on Windows Servers
  • SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000
  • IE 6.0 SP1 or Opera 7.03 Web Browser (Netscape and Mozilla are not supported)

Feature:

  • Execute SQL scripts provided by ASPPlayground.NET against supported database server.
  • Capable of reporting errors as well as each successfully executed SQL statement (Verbose Mode).
  • Progress report and total time taken report.
  • Capable of running script batch (supports the T-SQL keyword "GO").

Support:

  • No Support will be provided for this Installer.
  • If you have other supported software capable of executing the scripts provided by ASPPlayground.NET, e.g. SQL Query Analyzer, please do not use this Installer.

Installation:

  • Upload the entire directory onto your web server. The web server can be your local machine (with IIS installed of course) or your production web server.
  • Make sure you protect the Installer with Windows Security. Or, you can delete the Installer after use to prevent unauthorized access to your database.
  • This Installer is capable of running any valid SQL statement and therefore you should exercise extra caution when using the Installer.

Usage:

  • Login Screen:



    1. Your database user name. e.g. "sa" (without quote)
    2. Your database password
    3. Your database name
    4. Your database Server Name or IP address. Port other than 1433 has to be specified by adding a comma (,) right after the IP address followed by the port number. For example, "127.0.0.1,1597" (IP=127.0.0.1; port=1597; without quote)
    5. If you are connecting to your database server using Integrated Security (Windows Security), check this box and only fill in the database name and server name above. You are responsible for adding valid logins to your SQL Server database before using this mode. With this box unchecked, the Installer will assume SQL Server Authentication mode.

  • Installer Screen:



    1. Display the Connection String we will be using to connect to the database server. The screen shows the connection string with Integrated Security.
    2. You can copy and paste the content of the SQL scripts we provide here. To copy the content of a SQL script, open the SQL script with notepad, and then hit "Ctrl+A" plus "Ctrl+C". To paste the content of the SQL Script, hit "Ctrl+V". Note: Since we are using the HTML form (textarea), the maximum allowed size of the content is 128 KB. This will not work if you are using this Installer to install the database the first time (since our full installation SQL Script is at least 180 KB in size). Use the Load From File feature below instead if it is the case.
    3. If you install the Installer on your local machine, you can select this option and choose a SQL Script from your computer by clicking on "Browse...". Note: you can still execute SQL statements against a remote database server with this option. We are referring to a local WEB Server here.
    4. If you install the Installer on your production machine, you will need to select this option and select a SQL script from the drop down menu. The Installer can only locate SQL Scripts that reside in the same directory as the Installer. You will need to upload the SQL Script onto your web server before you login in order for the Installer to see them.
    5. With this box checked, the Installer will report each of the successfully executed SQL statement for you to review. This feature could be slow depending on the network traffic.
    6. Very self-explanatory. The "Clear" button can be used to clean up the screen and the textarea.
