can i use sqlite in appharbor? - sqlite

I use sqlite in my appharbor app. the data file was in "/App_Data". in my dev env,it works good .But when I deployment it in appharbor, there was a error :"SQLite error no such table: Items" . It seemed all the tables was lost.
and I print the connection string ,It was "Data Source=D:\websites\f3\d2b85\15729\0x0001_PublishedWebsites\ToolBox\App_Data\d3ah.db;" ,seemed fine.
so , what should I do?

I knew it.
the appharbor build my source code and deployment it.
so,in visual studio, go to solution Explorer and find your sqlite data file.
right click it and then click "properties", and then set Build Action To "Content".
check in source code. Done!

Using SQLite on AppHarbor is not recommended because instance storage is not persisted across deploys. There are more details in the FAQ.

publish code only to Azure, without updating data

My Asp.net project uses an SQL db. I need to update the published version on Azure. It keeps failing on the db deploy. The thing is, all I need to update is the code. The current data are fine. Is there a way to tell it to go ahead and deploy the code and leave the data unchanged?
I figured it out. Under project settings, package/publish SQL, remove the database.

Creating a database project with Visual Studio - can't find database after running?

I am following this tutorial (http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/database-first-development/setting-up-database) in order to create a database-first app with Entity Framework.
I hit "Run" and everything seems to be working, but in the next part of the tutorial (https://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/database-first-development/creating-the-web-application), when I try to add a connection, it's not in the drop-down menu in the "Connection Properties" box under "Select or enter a database name".
Which server is the database on? I didn't specify anything about the server when I created the project for the first tutorial, and I figured that it would be on the default LocalDB that comes with Visual Studio (server name: (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB), but the database isn't there. Any ideas where I should look or what to try?
Maybe use . (a dot) as Server Name?
Open your Web.config file and check your <connectionStrings> this is where the data source of the database will be. As shown:
However, which version of SQL Server do you have? As this can determine what the correct connection string will be.
Hit Windows+R. And run the following:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Instances
You may have multiple instances, it would be worth checking each one. So it would be:
(localdb)(name of instance)

What could be the case is that you have to run the application you created, and then do something to touch the database like creating / registering a user. After registration you can find the database on the specified location in your web.config settings. This was the solution in my case.

Cannot fill azure db with data. WebPage is connected to database but don't want to create tables

I created website using asp.net MVC with Entity Framework Code First. It worked before on Windows Azure, the site was available publicly.
For some reason, I deleted database that was used to store data of my webpage. I created new one, similar to previous one.
I properly connected my site to database (in solution I clicked "Publish", in "Settings" there is place to type data about database, in "Destination Connection String" window I typed all needed data and clicked "Test Connection" - everything seems to be fine)
I published my site, the site works correctly, but when I go to page that gets data from database is see this error:
Invalid object name 'dbo.AspNetUsers'.
In Visual Studio in "SQL Server Explorer" I can see what is in my database. In fact, there is nothing inside (there is one table: "__MigrationHistory" and as I suspect this is created by default).
How can I generate all those tables again? It should generate database structure automatically.
PS: Accidentally I deleted "migations" from my project, do you think this is the cause?
This is not my projects blame, it works OK on localhost on my computer, when I delete localDB, it generates new one without any problem.
Yes, you need migrations. But you can always re-create them (well, if you removed them all it will be initial migration containing all of your previous migrations).
To quick fix you can backup and restore you database on the server. And if you need to re-create migrations do the following:
Backup all your data
Delete the entire database (local and remote), delete all migrations from code.
Create databases (local and remote one).
Run "add-migration Initial" command from PM console
Run "update-database" from PM console.
Upload your code to the server again. If database is empty, new initial migration should be automatically applied.

ASP.NET MVC4 Code First - 'Cannot attach the file as database' exception

I'm using Code First concept in Entity Framework and I'm constantly getting the following exception while starting application:
Cannot attach the file 'C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\
Projects\Pro\Pro.Web\App_Data\Pro.mdf' as database 'Pro'.
I've put this in Global.asax.cs but also without success:
Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<ProWebContext>());
var ctx = new ProWebContext();
ctx.Database.Initialize(true);
I've checked under App_Data directory and there no database created. Also, under Server Explorer there is nothing under Data Connections. Everything was working fine yesterday and today not working at all. I've tried to connect to LocalDB with SQL Server Management studio but it says it cannot connect to local database. Any ideas what could be a problem?
Thanks!
I found the solution. With newest SQL Server Management studio there is no problem in connecting to the local database. Connection needs to be established like this:
After logging in we can still see old database present even if there is nothing under App_Data directory and under Data Connections in Server Explorer in Visual Studio. When we delete that database from SQL Server Management studio and start application again there will be no more errors while attaching database.
I was facing the same error when I saw this but I couldn't delete the database using SQL Server Management Studio so I remembered IDatabaseInitializer.
Setting a database initializer for my Code First context solved the issue. In my case adding an initializer to always drop the DB worked (I added the code in the static constructor of my context, most people add it in Global.asax):
static SomeDbContext()
{
System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseAlways<SomeDbContext>());
}
There are other initializers of course.
I just got into the same problem, and yet the answers above helped, the solution was different.
In my case, I was reusing a project that has already created it´s database. And since the name in the config was the same, it was throwing the exception, missleading the real solution.
It worth checking the database is not created and is different than the ones you used before. Change the name and go ahead.
I deleted the mdf file manually so the code will recreate it again, and had the same problem. I solved it by running update-database command in the package manager console.

Sqlite3 is readonly on webserver?

I install sqlite db manager on visual studio and create my database.
I added this db file to "app_data > myDB" (no ext.)
It works perfect on visual studio using debug mode.But when i publish this project to web , my data is getting from db perfectly also my update button is working and saying its done !
Unfourtunately when i refresh page come back my old data , its not changed.
I solved it ,You have to set permission on db folder also , sqlite version must be defined in your connection string : Like this :
data source=|path|\MYSQLITE_DB; Version=3;
