Its complicated.
I have SQL Server 2008 on my production server and the access to that is restricted using IP. As I don’t have a static IP, I cannot connect to server from my machine. The only option is going remote on production server and working there, but for obvious reasons I don’t like it.
So the only solution I can think of is using a SQL Admin Panel on which I only need to manipulate the table data. The only implementation of this method I saw is one from code project. ( Link here ). Its very outdated and most of the coding is done in classic asp.net style. I do not want to use it.
My questions are
- Is there a good implementation of SQL Admin Panel in ASP.NET?
- Have I got any other alternatives on manipulating my IP restricted remote database?
P.S: And yes, I know that maintaining a SQL Admin Panel on a live server is not good at all. I will be removing my SQL Admin Panel from my website as soon as the site goes live 🙂
As far as question 2 is concerned, I have done work on databases sql server 2008 on the host without having a static ip. My hosting provider put my IP on a safe list which accepted my connection until my IP reset. It’s a pain but does stay the same for a long time. You can find yours at http://www.whatismyip.com/
Not sure if your host will allow the same.
