Hi, I've made an ASP.NET 2.0 website and it uses two databases namely aspnetdb and my_db.I ran the aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S localhost -A mr tool and I got the aspnetdb.mdf in my project.I used it for providing login features to my site. Now i want to publish the site to a remote hosting server which I've purchased. They have provided me with the details of the server to which I must connect, and I was successfully able to do so. Now the scenario is this:-
1)My site supports a single MS SQL Server database, and I'm using two databases. How can I merge these two databases into one, and also update all pages with the change occuring in accessing the corresponding database, and then publish it.
2)I want to rename the aspnetdb to some other name, as I'm getting error when I publish the database with the name aspnetdb to the server, (it says the database already exists, but I was not able to find it). So how can I effectively rename it.
3)How to publish the merged database correctly to the remote location, do I have to take the connection strings into account as well? So far since I was the local user, I didn't provide any username and password, but on the site I'd to create a user for the SQL server. So how can I integrate it securely into my project.
Hope I've explained my problem properly, waiting for some solution.
Thanks
