Requirements:

You can connect to a SQL Server 2005 database using SQL Server Management Studio.

If you are using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, which is available free from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/, then you can not upload your database in this manner. Unfortunately, the Express version does not allow you to copy your database to a remote server (our server), but it will allow you to build a database on a remote server. If you are using the Express Edition and need to copy your database to our server, you will need to detach, copy, and send us a copy of the database files to be attached on our server. Pricing for attaching a database can be found on /addons.aspx.

This tutorial is using SQL Server Management Studio.
