I have a big sql file that i need to run in Umbraco database that located on the local machine using a tool as shown in the attached screenshot.

How to figure out what is the connection string for that database?

Hi Rayyan,

to know the connection string of your Umbraco website, just go to the web.config file and search for ConnectionString.

Then you will see something like this:

<connectionStrings>
    <remove name="umbracoDbDSN" />
    <add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="server=YOURSERVER;database=YOURDB;user id=YOURUSER;password='YOURPWD'" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <!-- Important: If you're upgrading Umbraco, do not clear the connection string / provider name during your web.config merge. -->
  </connectionStrings>

Then just copy and paste the connectionString property to your tool.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Michael for your help, I have tried that already but does not work. Here's my connection string;

<connectionStrings>
        <remove name="umbracoDbDSN" />
        <add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Umbraco.sdf;Flush Interval=1;" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
        <!-- Important: If you're upgrading Umbraco, do not clear the connection string / provider name during your web.config merge. -->
    </connectionStrings>

First i got this error (Keyword not supported: 'flush interval'.) so I have removed the (flush interval') and added (Persist Security Info=False;), but couldn't make the connection.

I used this:

Data Source=umbraco.sdf;Persist Security Info=False;

And this:

Data Source=C:\Umbraco.sdf;Persist Security Info=False;

Any idea please, Thank you

Hmmm you are using the SQL CE which is a file, I guess that is your issue.

Are you sure that the BigRunner tool can work with SQL CE?

Rayyan,

from what I can see in the docs of the BigRunner Tool, it will only work with a SQL Server instance.

Which work using SQL CE? Hmm not directly, maybe you can convert your SQL CE to a SQL Server instance?

Hi Guys

You can use "SqlCeToolbox" for moving database from MSSQL to SQLCE or back:

Thanks,
