Hi,
I am trying to write a desktop application using C# and .NET that can edit an SQL Server Mobile database stored on a device. The problem is no matter how I specify the data source, I get an error the path was not found. Heres the bit of the code:
SqlCeConnection connDB = new SqlCeConnection(strConn);
connDB.Open();
And the error i get is..
The path is not valid. Check the directory for the database. [ Path = Mobile DeviceMy DocumentsNutricom.sdf ]
Everytime it thorws an error saying the path is invalid and to check the locaiton of the database. Ive tried it without the "Mobile Device" bit of the string and still nothing. The database is definately in this location.
...works on my device, but on my computer it gives SqlCeException with message: The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File name = Program FilesTreeNotesTreeNotes.sdf ]
I've tried all sorts of things, but the computer just can't find the database. I've even tried putting a copy of the database into... C:Program FilesTreeNotesTreeNotes.sdf...hoping that the computer will find it there.
Setup: I'm using SQLCE on a VB.Net (2005) desktop applicaiton. I have strongly typed datasets pointing to tables in the SDF. The path to the sdf is |DataDirectory|DataQQ.sdf
Problem: When I run my application, I have a list of context sensitive tasks that appear as buttons. When the user steps into a control, the app retrieves a list of context tasks from the SDF and populates the buttons. When the user pushes one of the buttons, for example "View File" the appropriate action takes place. However, when the user enters into the next field, I get a SQLCeException telling me the path could not be found (error 25009). The Path it gives is Path = .DataQQ.sdf
It points to the task of getting data from the Context Tasks table. The problem is, though, that it just accessed that same path and same table to populate the task list. I've manually checked the file location in explorer as well as openning up the database in Management Studio. It exists and opens fine. But for some reason, it seems to lose the path or connection in between 2 identical calls.
I don't believe I saw this problem until after I switched TO strongly typed datasets.
When I restart a machine, the following message appears, note that theSQL Server status icon in the server tray has a blank circle:The network path was not found.When I double-click on the SQL Server status icon in the system trayand select the SQL Server from the SQL Server Service Manager everthingworks fine. Does anybody know whats causing this and how to fix it?
I am trying to use a file system task to create a directory. The error indicates that the path does not exist. But isn't that what the task is for: Creating a path (essentially a set of related folders)? Here is the path as supplied via variable:
\Computernamecommon3 Day StorageHWillamkeygrip
Anything obviously wrong?
BTW, I have no control over the fact that there are spaces in this path
I have a File System task and I want to delete a file that I have specified with fully qualified UNC path in a variable. The problem is that the SQL Agent account nor my user account have rights to delete files in that directory. So in BIDS it is a problem (because of my user account), and on the server it will be a problem because of the lack of rights of the SQL Agent account.
I might not have time to get these accounts added, so is there a way to pass the rights of an local account on the network share machine that has rights to delete? Basically, to pass logon information to that UNC path at runtime?
When trying to install Business Contact Manager (BCM) for Outlook 2007, the setup failed and I was refered to a log file in my Local Settings Temp folder. The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 an an instance or an instance if SQL Express is already installed. The BCM Instance did not install either when installing SQL Express with BCM or when SQL Express is installed first and then BCM is installed.
When I went into Computer Management and clicked on Services and Applications in the left panel, the error message appeared "Snap-in failed to intialize. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager CLSID:{CA9F8727-31DF-41D2-975C-887D84903967} This message diappeared when I clicked on Services and Applications again. Under Services, there are 3 SQL services - one is an application that was uninstalled 3-4 weeks ago and I disabled this service. The other 2 are: SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and the other one is SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) When I tried to start either of the last 2, the message appeared: Services "Could not start the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot finde the path specified.
How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.
I am running Final Relase of 2005 version 9.00.1399. I built an Integration Services package saved it closed up, came in the next day opened the project and I get 46 Warnings and the message on all of them is similar:
We installed the SQL Server 2012 GUI tools, including "Upgrade Advisor," on a new virtual machine. We can connect to the old SQL Server 2008 R2 clustered databases just fine over port 1433 using SQL Server Management Studio 2012, but Upgrade Advisor is a mixed bag. Here are the steps we are taking:
- Click on "Start," "All Programs," "Microsoft SQL Server 2012," "SQL Server 2012 Upgrade Advisor"
- Fill in the server name with a valid SQL Server Network Name
- Select "SQL Server" as the only component to be analyzed
- Fill in the instance name with a valid named instance
- Use Windows Authentication (the default)
- The "SQL Server Parameters" window displays valid database names, meaning that we have a successful connection to the desired SQL Server instance at this point
- Leave all of the databased selected (the default)
- Click the "Run" button
- The "Upgrade Advisor Progress" window spins for a while and eventually generates the following error:
TITLE: mscorlib ------------------------------ The network path was not found. ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------
Why would Upgrade Advisor be able to display the database names after making a successful connection only to fail later saying that it cannot find the network path?
I have a package that executes fine in BIDS. However, when calling it using xp_cmdshell it cannot find the path to the source flat file. Anyone have any suggestions?

I am developing a windows application that needs to communicate with a remote SQL server 2005 database. Server allows remote connections and MSDTC service also running. Do I need to run MSDTC service on the client machine where I use desktop application ? any ideas ? It's throwing some error like An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
But my SQL Server allows remote connection, and I am able to do a select statement. But when I insert/update anything, it's throwing this error. I guess some problem with MSDCT. Anybody have any idea ?

The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 as an instance or as instance if SQL Express is already installed. There is an MSSMLBIZ instance in Services..
Who can I send the Log File to for analysis and the fix feedback?

How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and run properly? what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.
After updating TempDB path to a wrong path (without file name only folder name) the service is not starting. How can i sovle this and start the service
I've got a package which reads a text file into a table and updates another. I set up configurations so that I could import it into the SSIS store on both my dev and live servers. Now, I'm getting this error. I tried removing the configs and am still getting it.
I've been through each step and everything looks okay. Does anyone have any idea (a) what's wrong, (b) how to localise the error or (c) get any additional information? Or do I just have to recreate the package from scratch?

My organization supports both SQL 7 and SQL 2K. Therefore I have the Enterprise Manager for SQL 2K on my desktop (it accesses both SQL 7 & SQL 2K, but the SQL 7 EM won't access both).
I installed the SQL 7 desktop edition on my NT 4 (SP 6) workstation, but only the server (not client connectivity or client tools).
When I attempt to perform a new server registration using EM (with the desktop server running), I get the following message:
"SQL Server does not exist or access is denied"
I am attempting to logon as "sa" with a blank password since this will be my very first access of the installed DB.
Startup of server specifies that the "local system" account be used. Server starts up fine as best as I can tell.
For client connectivity I have both TCP and NAMED PIPES available.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!!!
Thanks Gary Andrews andrews_gary_w@solarturbines.com P.S. Where blank passwords are used, do I enter a single space or not enter anything and just press enter?
Is it necessary to have a MS Loopback Adaptor to install SQL Server desptop edition at my home ? ( Otherwise i am unable to connect to the server from the EM ) Thanks, Deepak.
I have installed Sql 7.0 desktop edition on Win 98 with IE5 and am having a problem starting the Sql server. It auto registered the server under my machine name. It was returning a network connection error so I deleted it and tried to add one with the name (local). Enterprise Manager then returned an error saying one was already registered under that name.
Is it possible to install SQL 2000 desktop without installing a databaseserver? I need to have the interface to access my database servers, butdon't want the overhead of a server and the service on my laptop.Possible?ThanksDoug
I have read all posts in this forum, but the answers for the main questions are still not completely clear for me. My scenario is smilar than other described cases.
I would like to send a large amount of data to a Windows CE device which runs SQL Server Mobile Edition 2005. Replication is not possible, cause the desktop size of software sometimes uses Oracle or earlier versions of MSSQL Server (for e.g. MSSQL 7.0).
For syncrhonizing data we have two possibilities:
1. sending the data in some format (csv, xml, etc...) to the Windows CE device, parse this file and insert the data into a database, the speed of this is unacceptable, so if it is possible I wouldn't like to use this method
2. Create the SDF file on desktop side, it would be very fast, because it makes unnecessary the post processing on a slow Windows CE device. So please give me a short (YES / NO is completely enough) answer to this: is there any *LEGAL* way to create an SDF file for SQL Server Mobile Edition without buying VS2005 or MSSQL2005 licenses for the desktop computer?
Thx for any help in advance. If the question was answered clear earlier, sorry for wasting time. I think a lot of us struggling with this problem.
Is it possible to create a .SDF file at the develop machine?I want to write an exe which creates a sdf.So, my customer will be able to create a sdf and import this sdf to the device.
I want to jumpstart my learning of SQL Server so I downloaded the Express edition onto my desktop in the office and also onto my laptop. I usually connect the two machines (through a LAN) to update whatever I was able to do at home while in the office.
What should I do in order to view or edit whatever I started on the laptop from the desktop? Would the databases I create on one be accessible through the other machine for editing and the likes?
I have a very simple application that is desktop and windows mobile. I am just starting work on it so the options are wide open for now. My goal is a simple database that will sync columns on both sides.
The SQL Compact Edition database seems like the perfect database to use for this application.
The only way I currently know of to sync a PDA database to the desktop, however, is to use IIS and SQL server on the desktop side and then use the ADO.NET sync stuff.
I don't want to have to set up IIS and SQL server on my client's computers. It will be a mass market product and that is just inviting a ton of support that I don't want to have to deal with. The application is too simple and cheap for that.
I know I can go the old fasion ActiveSync component route, but that is such a pain. I could also use a 3rd party solution, but again, too expensive for this application.
My question is whether anyone knows of a simple solution.
Is there any way in SQLCE to query a remote database and do updates to it? Could the desktop application get access to the PDA SQLCE database or the other way around?
Any help would be great. I have the experience to write an ActiveSync component myself. That is not the problem. It is just such a pain and it seems like in today's day and age I shouldn't have to.
Everybody knows that Upgrade.exe is not a win32 application.
Since it is now possible to connect SQL CE 3.1 database with Framework 2.0 and SQL CE 3.1, I am wondering if someone is aware of a method to convert SQL CE 2.0 database to SQL CE 3.0 with Desktop Framework ?
(--> I have a lot of SQL CE 2.0 databases where I would like to connect avoiding use of a PDA. In order to do that, I need to convert all of them)
I want to know if there is Desktop edition for SQL 2000 Server and if so does it comes bundled on the same CD like it did for MSS 7.0.Also is there a limit to the size of DB's that can be build with it. Thanks a Bunch
What type of licence do I need to run Desktop Edition of SQL 7.0. Is there such a thing as desktop license. How much Does it approximately cost. Thanks
