How UltraDev Dbs works when site is being host.

Anybody?
Once my site is connected to a database, when I update my files on the hosting side(using CuteFTP) I also need to transfer my database along with updated files but then my database will be sitting on host server.
I'm curious to know how I will be able to see my database.

Can anybody give me some tips...

Thanks a lot.

You wont be able to see it unless you are using SQL server with Enterprise manager or something like that. If it is an access databse or something like that then if you make changes to it locally then you will need to re-upload it.

You could also develop an admin section on the site which would allow you to insert, update or delete recrods, run reports or whatever you decide you want to do.

"Re-upload it" You mean I have to be playing with my database every other day to see if someone has sent me a email.
How the admin section will work?
I will still need to upload that one specific file, right?
or could you lead me to a more specific fix...

Thanks a lot.

The database has to be integrated in the system somehow. With Access and SQL Server this only works on an NT server (no linux or OS/2). Contact your ISP if he can set up an ODBC connection for you - just as you did on your local machine, I think...

Normally the DB then is not at the same place as your ASP (or whatever other kind of accessing) files.

Your ISP will most probably have given you some access data for the DB if it's already uploaded...

Hope this helps...
