    Exporting MS SQL CE Database to MS SQL Server causes install screen to show

    Hi,

    I'm trying to migrate my SDF file over to full SQL using the instructions here:

    http://www.geektantra.com/2012/10/umbraco-deployment-exporting-ms-sql-ce-database-to-ms-sql-server-express/

    Everything seemed to go OK except I am now seeing the installation screen background image and it won't proceed any further.

    If I change the web.config file back to the SDF link it works fine again.

    Any tips as to what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks

    My error...

    I needed to set the checkboxes in Database Role Membership in SQL to "dbowner" dbdatawriter" and "db_datareader"

    Hi Tony

    As I know "dbowner" is enough.

    You're right Alex ( I just copied permissions from an example database).

    With just ' db_owner ' checked, the app still ran fine.

    Thanks

    you are welcome, Tony

    Glad that you solved this issue!

    By the way, easiest way to migrate database from sqlCE to MSSQL is visual studio extension - https://github.com/ErikEJ/SqlCeToolbox

    It can migrate a database from one connection string to another in few seconds.

    Thanks,

    Alex
