Setting up a 3rd Party SQL Server Web Application

  • I am interested in finding out what is involved in setting up a Web Application (will be accessed from all over the world) which uses a SQL Server DB (2000/20005) as the backend Database. I do not have a lot of information on the setup so please provide me what I need to think about when planning for the setup. I know I need to:

    Install the O/S (would you recommend Windows or Unix?)

    Install SQL Server (which would be better, Std or EE Edition?)

    Create a Web Login and SQL User (would it be better to have one login and one user?)

    Please let me know some "best practices" for applications like this. Again please provide me what you can based on the information I provided.

    Thanks in advance, Kevin

  • You need more than that to set up a web application using SQL Server.  I recommend you hire a system archect to design the system, a SQL Server DBA, a web application developer or a team of developers.

    This is just the beginning.   You need to have a web server (window, unix),  a database server, and you have to decide how to create web application, using what language or software to access the database (C#, JAVA, PHP.......).   This will affect what kind of server you need.   The web logon and user id is the last thing you should concern.  The DBA and the developer should be able to figure that part out.
