Databases - SQL

Error while transfering a SQL Databases

The Situation:

"I can access my web site just fine, and I can attach to and browse the SQL server just fine using Enterprise Manager. However, I'm receiving a login error when I begin the 'transfer' from my local SQL server to the SQL server. What's going wrong?"

Suggested Action:

Due to restrictions with SQL you have to have SA (SQL administrator) on the server you are transfering to. The best way to transfer a SQL database over is to do a SQL dump of the database and FTP it to your account. Once this is accomplished send us and to notify us that you need it restored and where to find it in your site content.

Database size

The Situation:

"I need to set up a couple of databases for me on the SQL Sever. Both are quite large. Are there any additional costs associated with this?"

Due to the resources and methods involved in running and administrating SQL servers, SQL server space doesn't fall under the normal web space plan.
