I have a CSV file which I wish to populate into a SQL Server table hosted on AppHarbor.
I am currently connected to the SQL Server Database via SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2
I am traditionally from a mySQL background. And in PHPmyadmin, I am able to click a button to import a CSV file into a new table, then simply rename the table within php myadmin.
Is there any similar functionality in SQL Server?
How can I insert table data from a CSV file hosted on my local machine, onto a SQL server table hosted in AppHarbor?
I am not sure, but can the utility will help DTSWizard.exe
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\DTSWizard.exe"
You can use the import wizard.
In SQL Server Management Studio:
Right click the database
Select Tasks
Select Import Data...
Use wizard to import the file
This will support data movement to / from many different data formats (excel,csv,flat,sql server...)

I have access to a .db file that I would like to query somehow to pull data from it for my other database. So far I have been unable to do this through an ODBC or SQL server directly. I would think that this is possible but I can't seem to find any ideas how.
.db files are standalone files, so cannot be Opened through SSMS.
Use SQLITE DB BROWSER to work on those files. Thanks :)
.db files are standalone files, which means they don't need server to work, which also means you can't open it with SQL Server 2008.

If this is a one time load, the easiest option would be using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard from SSMS. You'll need a Sqlite ODBC driver. The one here should work.
Another option is to create a linked server to SQLite database from SQL Server. See this article for instructions.
Here are a couple of StackOverflow posts on loading data from Sqlite to SQL Server which might be helpful.

I currently have a mdf database on management studio and I would like to export the data to a sql file. Exporting the data with the data-source: SQL Server Native Client works fine, but i have no idea where he saved the exported data. Any help?
You need to go in Database->Tasks->Generate Scripts.
Select options there and you will able to generate complete db in SQL Script
I have my database and tables with data.
I have created tables on server but now I want to import data on server so how to generate .csv file for that.
Your question is not clear.
From my understanding; you want to migrate data created on one server to another. To do this simply, use the export wizard that comes with Sql Server. See the following article that walks you through this process - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms140052.aspx
Import and export wizard of the sql server is your answer, better answer is to make a backup of you localhost database and restore it on server database, fire some script to transfer the data from the restored database to your server database. Drop the restored database.
I have been asked by a client of mine if it would be possible for their warehouse to send a csv file of their stock to our server which then updates our sql server database automatically with the csv content. Aparently their sage system does this but im not sure if i can do it with standard sql server management studio 2008 i have on my server?
There are two ways that I use to do such tasks:-
Build an SSIS package to open/parse/import the data.
Use the OPENROWSET function. If the filename of the CSV is always the same, then it makes this option simpler.
How to export a database schema and the data in Microsoft SQL Server Management Express? In other words given a database and the data, I want to create an .sql script that will recreate the table structure and the data inside it.
This can't easily be done within the SQL Express Tools.
If you're willing to look at other tools, have a look at the Database Publishing Wizard from the SQL Server Hosting Toolkit. It's an open-source which will script a database and data into a single script.
Go to:
\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn
and run:
DTSWizard.exe
example, mine is:
H:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\DTSWizard.exe
Thats all
