I am a total beginner to Pocket PC, and a 2-month beginner to SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005. I made a database Pillbox.mdf, and wrote a Windows Forms program to access it. It's really easy. I just added a Data Source, chose tables and Stored Procedures, and dragged them onto my forms. It automatically created adapter classes and a DataGrid for me.
Next, I wanted to do the same thing for Pocket PC. I did the same drag and drop thing, and was happy to see the empty DataGrid in the emulator (design-time) form. From here on, trouble. When I ran it, it said it could not connect.
So some questions:
1) Does my connection string have to change? It has 3 parts: machine name, database name, and security spec. It specifies my machine name. Is that ok? Is it known by the Pocket PC, or do I have to specify http something? Does my machine have to change any settings to become a "server"? It's just a standalone PC with no network. I understand the emulator chooses to pretend that it's not "on" my computer. Is the database name known by the Pocket PC? (Same type of question.) And is Windows authentication ok on a Pocket PC? Or must I create a name/password pair on SQL server?
2) When I went to modify my connection string, I noticed a setting to specify the Data source. For SQL Server 2005, it asks me for a dbo, but for SQL Server Mobile, it asks me for a *.sdf file. What type of file is this? Is there a way to generate this from my other database? Is it not possible to have the the Pocket PC app point to the same database as the Windows app? Oh... does the sdf represent the Pocket PC's local database? If so, then my question is just how to populate it. But I will also have to update the main database at some point. I guess I'm confused about how Pocket PC's are supposed to work.
3) Do I have to deploy SQL CE or something? I think I read that Visual Studio does it automatically. It's a bit hard reading blogs because many comments talk about things that are now contained in VS. One blog was talking about 7 dlls that need to be downloaded to the Pocket PC.
4) My application just has to get a table, store it on the Pocket PC, and allow the user to modify and update records. The bandwidth should be low, as the table is small and updates should not be frequent. Is this a reasonable design? What I am asking is if it's ok to have direct database access, or if I should package up the data in some custom format, and use a Web service to pass the data back and forth. I have read and understood articles why you should not pass a Dataset in a web service, but the point was just that web services can be interoperable, so why spoil that with MS-only Datasets. In my case, I just want to get this simple app up and running quickly.
Hi, I am developing an application for pocket pc 2003 smart device which utilizes synchronization between SQL CE 2005 and SQL server 2005 by means of REMOTE DATA ACCESS method call PULL( ) and PUSH( ) but currently these are the details of the error Im encountering when PULL( ) method is called:
Error code: -2147467259 Descripion: An error occured on the computer running IIS.Restart the IIS server.
Minor error: 28022 Source: SQL server CE Currently Im developing this application as a final project and due to some limitations I have setup my pc to act as the SQL server and the IIS server both on the same machine.
how do i connect to sql server with pocket pc2003 se emulator.it gives me the sql exception all the time.i tried to install virtual machine network adapter but result is same.Am i missing something?
Hi. I have a problem. I'm working at the moment on application witch should write and read data from sql server. The application should work on windows mobile devices. I'm linking this code to event on a button:
cmd = new SqlCommand(string.Format(insertString, "MojDom", "Kuba", 15), sqlCon); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (sqlCon.State == ConnectionState.Open) sqlCon.Close();
}
and on line sqlCon.Open() i get exception:
Code Block

I'm working on emulator of Pocket PC 2003, I've "put" it in cardle and the emulated device has connection to my pc and internet, the firewall is off.
I really dont have any idea why it's not working.
sorry for my english, but its not my foreign language.
I have a database on a sql server 2005, and I would like to migrate data from sql server 2005 to local Pocket PC. How can I create a database on local Pocket PC and how to migrate the data from sql server 2005 to local Pocket PC? The operating system on Pocket PC is Microsoft® Windows Mobile„¢ 2003 Second Edition. Thanks in advance.
Hi All, this system is scheduled to go live in near to a day... but i have hit an issue when switching on SSL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have developed an application using visual studio 2005 and I am trying to figure out how to store the data on the pda and sync it with a dadabase on the pc. we have a database server but it is only have sql server 2000. i have only been able to find instruction for sqlserver 2005. can anyone help.
I am an absolute beginner with SQL Server, and I have now developed an app that needs to store, read, and search for saved data. Basically, my program will have to search through the databse to find a particular URL match to a string I supply, and then retrieve the Username and Password data that is associated with that URL, storing those to strings.
My problem is, I've learned how to create a database and tables in the IDE, but all of the examples on the web that I've found only talk about using SQL Server with Visual Basic 2005 in uses such as databinding to controls and displaying the database in datagrids and such on the form. I need help with how to interact with the database in code, seeing as the user of the program will likely never actually see the database contents- the data will be for the program's use only.
So, I was wondering if anyone could provide/guide me to some helpful information on interacting with SQL databases through code in VB Express 2005.
I am fairly new to Visual Studio 2005 (using C#) and am writing an application for the company I work in. I have got a really nice functioning form working and am now planning what to do about the massive database I need to create (I don't think it will ever get to the 4GB limitation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition).
Can someone please help with some simple questions please?
1: I am decoding a specific file format and extracting the information for the main database. Fortunately, each record in the data file I am decoding has unique identity codes (so this will be great for the ID of each entry). Because the software has to do this by itself (the encoded file contains more than 1,120,000 records which will shrink to about 30,000 records, all different sizes once decoded). Can each record in a SQL server database contain a different number of elements? If so, what is this known as (I have read a little about jagged arrays - is there a similar thing in SQL server databases)?
2: As the program will decode the file and assemble the database, can I make my program create the database from scratch and manipulate the database rather than me having to define a database for my program to fill? If so, where can I find some info on doing this?
3: The database file will be stored on our office network and has to be accessible to more than one person at a time (in this case, a maximum of 6 users - well within the 25 users my book says is possible with SSE2005). Is it more complex to develop multi-user access to the database?
Just in case you wonder what books I have got, they are "Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for Developers" and "Getting Started with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition".
I have studied a variety of online documents explaining built-in SQL Server 2005 encryption, and I'm a bit confused. Every encryption approach, it seems, ultimately replies upon a password that must be provided with queries to access the data. As an application developer, it brings up the obvious question: how should that password be provided? If I build the password into my applications, then it will no longer be secure. On the other hand, I can't possibly expect my users to provide a password every time they perform an action that requires unencrypting data. If I give that password out to 50 users, the password will become public information quickly, I am sure. We will also have to alter the password regularly. Plus several of my applications run as windows services, in which case the user (meaning the windows user under which the service runs) won't be around to type in password.
I have a better solution in mind. Is there an option to limit access to symmetric keys by windows identity? As a best-standards-abiding coder, all of my sql server access is done via Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server Authentication. Why not make it so that myorgjoe and myorgsally can access the symmetric key for a particular column, but nobody else? This way there is still a password involved, but it is now moved further up the application layers; it is the windows password that the user originally used to log into their machine to run the application.
Is there a way to make it so that access to symmetric keys (or asymmetric keys which encrypt symmetric keys) is decided solely on the basis of windows user identity?
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2005, but before that I need install MS SQL Server for my database, what kind of MS SQL server I need install, how about "MS SQL 2005 Express Edition"? Or I have to install "MS SQL 2005"?
I just built a site and found out that the hosting company does not support MS Access, but does support MS SQL ODBC.
I have never used MS SQL, nor know how it works.
I followed the directions to upside my MS ACCESS DB to MS SQL DB and I am waiting on a login and password from the hosting company.
Do I have to have MS SQL software on my computer for it work? Do I need to keep my computer online in order for my site pages to connection with the MS SQL DB?
I just don't get how it works.
I am very new at this and I am trying to understand the fundamentals of how it all works.
Sorry for the simple question, but I'm not having any luck getting this to work: I need to give someone read-only access to everything in a database.
If someone could help me by giving me (or linking me to) a step-by-step, idiot-proof recipe for giving Bob in my office read-only access to the whole database, I'd be very grateful. And remember: I'm good at db programming, but completely ignorant on the subject of db admin.
when i try to import data from Microsot Access to Microsoft OLDB DB Provider in the "DTS Import/Export wizard", an error occurs: Error Description: [DBNETLIB][ConectionOpen (Connect()).] SQL Server doesnt exist or the access was denied. I'm using windows autentication and the data base of destination is <default>.
Can my program with SQL database run correctly on another com using win xp home edition, with only C# 2005 EE installed? Is it compulsory for every table in a database to have a primary key? Can I extract a data from a specific cell in a database table(click button get data)? How do I go about doing it (the simplest n straight forward method)?
I asked this question on another forum, and it was suggested that using SQL Server might be the way to go.
What I would like to do is create a database that can store detailed employee payroll information for workshop production. Included in this db would be employee info, job details, hours worked, pay rate, and so on and so forth. That will probably be the relatively easy part.
I would like to allow supervisors (job coaches) to enter this data on a Pocket PC (windows mobile) device, and then be able to synchronize the pocket pc to a workstation, allowing their data to be uploaded to the main database at the end of the day.
Can that be done using SQL Server as both the main networked database as well as having it (or a lite version of some sort) installed on a Pocket PC for synchronization purposes as described above?
I want to install SQLExp2K5 with Advanced Services on a standalone basis on my Dell Inspiron XPS laptop (Win XP sp2, .NET 2.0; 2gb RAM; 8mb broadband; hardware firewall/router) so that I can learn SQL/VB/VWD, and want to use SQL E 2K5 without internet connectivity (at least until I know what the hell I'm doing!)
Really confused as to what component(s), and services I should/should not install - so I've listed my questions below:
1. Service Account: As I'm not on / dont have a domain, i presume using a domain user account is not an option for me. Should I use the Local Service account ? If so, what are/can be the issues in doing so?
2. Authentication Mode: Is Windows Authentication the one to use for a standalone install?; how would I enable the "sa" account and set an "sa" password? In fact, do I even need an"sa" account / password for a standalone, non internet connected install?
3. Components at install: Is it OK to install all components first off?
4. IIS: Is it possible to install IIS and not allow it access to the internet (or is this a stupid question -bearing in mind I dont really know what IIS is/does)
5: Business Intelligence Development Suite: How do I add BIDS once (IF) I manage to install SQLExp2K5-Adv.Ser,?
6. SQLExp2K5 Books on-line: Am I right in thinking that I should install this after installing SQLExp2K5?
7: Visual Basic Express/Visual Web Developer Express: Do these need to be configured seperately to work with SQLExp2K5?
Sorry about the length of this post, but have tried to be as clear as possible. Also apologise in advance for silly/stupid questions :)

I am trying to connect through ODBC connectivity, but it will not allow me to do so. I have investigated this matter. It leads me back to the server, because as I was configuring my client side database. It kept asking for the DSN(datasource name), but I was unable to choose one because there wasn't one to choose. Which is my current dilemma, How can I do this and have it available to choose from the server to satisfy the Access database?
I went to the domain where the software resides but I don't know what steps to take? I also found an interesting piece on microsoft about Kerberos, but I can't follow along according to the instructions it has. I have Access 2003 & SQL SERVER 2005, HELP...!
Basically, this is right off the heels of the install. I setup the server without the connectivity, but it is running the current configuration.
Hello there... Pending receiving the full version from the higher powers at my work, I have downloaded the Evaluation version of SQL 2000, and set up an instance on my desktop machine. This was set up on an administrator account, and works fine. My main aim with SQL 2000 is to upsize all the companies piddling little Access 97 databases into an SQL backend and keep the 97 frontends. I have migrated some of the tablesets into SQL, and linked to them in Access 97 and they work fine. However, the problems are when I try and set up ODBC. When I enter ODBC as a different user on the server itself, the ODBC list of available SQL Servers shows me the correct server information - my PC ID no, followed by the server name. However, when I try and connect with another machine on the network, it only displays the PC ID no of the server, and not the server name. When I attempt to add the server with just the PC name, it doesnt find the server - same when I add the name of the database to the end of the PC ID no. I'm sure there is something really basic I have not done, but I'm totally stumped now. I am using Windows Auth, and have set up the login of the other PC I am trying to connect, as an authorised user. Please help me - I am just a doofus, please feel free to laugh at me...
Hello,(Sorry for my English first...)Could you help me please with SQL Server problem? I suspect that myproblem has simple solution but I have little experience.I have installed SQL Server 2005 and I am installing some applicationusing it - unfortunatelly setup fails because I cannot logon to SQLServer in SQL Server Authentication, account sa, password sa.Thus I checked SQL Server Management Studio Express: I have 'sa'account, password 'sa' (because I had prepared it), unfortunatelly Icannot logon in SQL Server Authentication (sa/sa) because of:Login failed for user 'sa'. The user is not associated with a trustedSQL Server connection (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452).Could you help me plase...Thank you very much./RAM

I have been wacthing several webcasts, reading blogs and articles and understanding what BI is, especillay ETL and Analysis Services, but somehow have not been able to find a solution to my problem. I have been able to understand most of the Analysis Services part of SQL Server 2005, but need help with taking data from MS Access to SQL Server to create a cube.
I have an MS Access 2003 DB with 4 tables which holds all the data from which I want to generate BI. I have just installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
Below are my questions:
1. Do I need to first make a new DB in SQL Server 2005 with a star schema and then transfer all the data from Access, or will SQL make a star schema for me when I transfer the data from Access.
2. How does one clean data during the ETL transfer process from Access to SQL. Do SSIS allow the user to do this? How?
I'm able to connect to SQL Server 2005 express using SQL Native and see the data and create reports in MS Access 2003. But I cannot change the data, is there an option or permission I forgot? I seen multiple posts that MS Access is not the best tool for doing simple reports. What would be better? I don't want to create a Web Page etc, InfoPath?
Also, I would like to stick with SQL Server Express...
I'm trying to link SQL Server 2000 sp3 to SQL 2005 64 bit. I keep getting Error 17 sql server does not exist or access denined. I tried adding remote user mapping and chaning the linked server properties to "Be made using this security context" without any success. Any help is appreciated.
