I kind of new to SQL Server, I always used access db for my sites.

I created a SQL Server on my local computer and now I want to take this db and transfer it to the server. In access all I had to do is, take the mdb file and put it on the server and change the connection string. How can I transfer the SQL Server db to the server?

Is there any file to put on the server ?

Also the connection string isn’t a folder but a local computer like this:

Data Source=my-PC;Initial Catalog=storeSQL1;User ID='my-PC\com';Password='';Trusted_Connection=YES;

Who can provide me this connection string for the server (the hosting company) ?

    Depending on your version of SQL Server here is a good article that outlines all the ways to move a SQL Server Database.

    As for getting the connection string yes the hosting company would provide you with that. Where is the database hosted, you could check their knowledge base articles or if it’s an in house data base I’m sure a dba could provide you with that information. It won’t change much from what you have but it will change.
