Absolutely. I have to use the connector but I am not sure of the code. So in case and link to some sample is available it will be of great help

It's usually the installer that registers the ODBC connection; has to be done once, not at every start of your app.

Very true. I actually want to put an installer which creates the ODBC Connection. But I am not getting any sample of the code. In case anybody has any link it will be a great help for me

MSDN[^] again, example at the bottom of the page. It's the same pattern as the SqlConnection/SqlCommand examples; create a connection, execute a command with parameters, and read the results.

One could execute a RESTORE[^]-command with the appropriate parameters. Alternatively, you can use SMO.

Hello !
Where can I find some information about doing this process with SMO ?
Because I want to learn both methods.
Thank you !

There's article's here[^] on CodeProject, and there's examples on TechNet[^].

On your opinion , is better to use Transact-SQL or SMO ?
For example :
I'm creating and testing my application on Visual Studio2013 and SQL server 2008R2.
If I need to run my program on SQL server 2005 or SQL server 2012 , will SMO work ?
Thank you !

I tend to prefer scripts; easy to test and update.
SMO would also require a specific version for each version of SQL Server that you want to support. Still, SMO makes it easy to manipulate SQL Server from C#.

I have another question.When I use SMO , I should add to reference some files :
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll
But these files are in folder : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\SDK\Assemblies\
when I install my application to other computers , can I put these files on application folder or they should be on this folder on destination computer ? But, if I have this application on a client computer that not have sql server installed?
And my last question (Sorry !)
I want to use SMO just for Backup restore operations.I think these are very basic operations.Do you think that one version of SMO (that reference on my application) can support only for these operations even different versions of SQL server (older or newer ?)
Thank you !

Yes

The SMO-assemblies need to be present, but you don't need Sql Server.

You can't use SMO for 2008 on a 2005-server, but the other way around "might" work.

But if I put these files on my application folder , I should change the reference on my application to this directory ?
And if I can do this , let suppose that I run this application on a pc with different version of sql server , is possible only to change these files on my application folder with corresponding files from that version , and may work or I'm wrong ?

No, the reference is not specific to a directory; .NET will look in various locations for an assembly, including your executables working-folder.

No, that won't work; you write code/compile against the files you referenced. Replace those files and your app stops working.

Ok , but if I use SQL scripts for backup and restore , they are identical on each version of sql server ? So a script that created for sql server 2008R2 , will work on sql server 2005 and sql server 2012 ?
Thank you !

That's not guaranteed.
Even though the commands will not differ, Microsoft keeps extending it. So, if you take care not to use any switches that are specific to a version, it should work on all machines.

Sorry !
Maybe it's a stupid question , but anyway.
These are the files needed by smo :
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll
and on different folders of my program I have versions of these file from different sql server versions.
and I reference all these file to my program , and on runtime check which version of sql server is installed ??!!
Can I go to a solution with this way ?
Thank you !

Hello !
I'm working with VB.net 2013 entity framework 6 and sql server 2008r2 ( installed on local machine).
I'm facing a strange situation :
The first query that is executed on my application , run very slow ( For example query=(from t in context.DB1 select t).tolist)For the second time , even if I execute a different query (query2=(From t in context.DB2 select t).tolist ) , this run almost instantly.
Why !
What can I do ?
Thank you !

Try running a query without EF, to determine whether it's an EF startup problem or a database startup problem.
If it's the database, the most likely cause would be having auto-close enabled[^] on the database.

Autoclose is false to my database

One thing I would ask is there a difference in size between the 2 tables?
As the tolist forces the query to be executed against the database.

I have make this test :
First query to a small table - long delay
Second query to a bigger table - very fast
Third query to the first small table - very fast

I'm using Entity , and the code is :
Dim context as new MyEntities
Query=(From t in context.DB1 select t).Tolist
Query2=(From t in context.DB2 select t).tolist
