SQL Server Express - Pre-Built Database Designs and Publish To Hoster Wizard

 

SQL Server Express Starter Schemas

The SQL Server Express team got Barry Williams from https://databaseanswers.org to publish 10 pre-built schemas for common database designs to help ease the pain of working with databases and for users to understand what real-world database schemas look like. This helps in that rather than you having to recreate the wheel, you can take and modify these designs and use them as a good start place. Each design comes with create and drop scripts, a pre-built MDF database, and a corresponding ER diagram.

 

• Data Schema 1: Assets Maintenance
• Data Schema 2: Contact Management
• Data Schema 3: Customers and Orders
• Data Schema 4: Document Management
• Data Schema 5: e-Commerce
• Data Schema 6: Help Desk
• Data Schema 7: Issue Tracking Software
• Data Schema 8: Retail Inventory Control
• Data Schema 9: Not for Profits
• Data Schema 10: Product Catalogs

 

SQL Server Hosting Toolkit

The ASP.NET team has published a Database Publishing Wizard designed to easy the pain of getting a SQL Server Express database you created locally onto a web hoster like GoDaddy and others.

 

Scott Guthrie has a great tutorial that walks through step-by-step on how to publish your database.

  None of the links to the schemas seem to go anywhere useful.  Could you check them to see if they're okay?
