I have a brand new database on an ISP which I intend to use to build an ASP.NET data-driven website. However, I would like to build the whole thing locally and transplant the database to the ISP.
I have TCP/IP access (i.e. I can connect to the remote database directly thru SQL Server Management Studio Express), but I do not have Terminal Services access, as this is a database shared with other users of the ISP.
Is there a simple way to “replicate” my local development database to the remote server?
One way is to use something like the Database Publishing Wizard to create an SQL script, and then run that script in SQL Server Management studio in the remote database.
Apparently this is integrated in Visual Studio 2008 (didn’t know that before).
