I was hoping to upgrade my SQL CE from 3 to 3.5 for my PPC and desktop applications. However, when I went to XCopy to another desktop I got errors. First, error was that the System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll is not enough, so I copied the other dlls too. Then I got provider not installed error. I do not want to install, I just want to XCopy.
So I searched the newsgroups and online help. I tested using ClickOnce and that worked only because it installed SQL CE for me... but I want to just XCopy.
Next I commented out my code that uses LINQ and just used the old data adapter way to get data and it worked.
I use the same connection string:
"Data Source=C:=test.sdf;Password=sa2008;Persist Security Info=True;Encryption Mode=PPC2003 Compatibility;Max Database Size=4000"
1. Using old way to get data works with XCopy
2. Using LINQ way to get data DOES NOT work with XCopy
Seems that LINQ requires that SQL CE be installed on the desktop to work.
Is this true?
(I know LINQ is not support with SQL CE at this time, but it's sure nice to use)
One other problem I noticed is that I can compile and run my LINQ to SQL CE solution just fine in VS.Net 2008 express, but the same solution gives me a compile error without details as to why when compiled in VS.Net 2008 Pro.
hi, I have the following statement: exec xp_cmdshell 'xcopy f:dataackup est1.bak \server2ackup /c' it works in command prompt but not in QA. i tried dir on both the machines, it works fine. harshal.
According to the documentation, xp_cmdshell returns 0 if success or 1 if it fails, so I was curious as to why I was getting a return value of 2 when using it with xcopy. So in my t-sql code, if I have something like
The result would return 2. Then if I check if @Result is not equal to 0, it would say their is an error when I am not sure if there was one. I did read on a faq that xcopy expects input from the user, which is normally provided at the command prompt through a return after the command and this behavior can me mimicked by adding "< NUL:" after the command text, which will effectively signal the XCOPY input stream, so the above command becomes:
I am still unsure why the @result would return a 2 though? Also, if I am not going into any subdirectories, is their an advantage of copy over xcopy and vice versa?
If anyone has any info, please let me know, I am using Sql Server 2000.
We are in the process of converting our MSDE-enabled products to using SQL Express for compatability with Vista. With help from the msdn article at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx I've been able to create a test install that works fine under XP, but fails under Vista. We have our application installing under the "Program Files" directory, and are copying the database's MDF file into the same directory. We are using AttachDbFileName to connect to the database and under XP the LDF file is created fine. Under Vista we receive an error that the database cannot be attached and I've noticed that the LDF file is not being created. I was receiving the exact same error under XP until I removed the LDF file from the install and allowed SQL Express to create it. I'm guessing that it is an issue in the permissions necessary to write the LDF file out to the applications directory, but that's just a guess. So, I was wondering what the Microsoft recommended method for doing a SQL Express XCopy deployment under Vista was?
When we take backups, we xcopy them from a folder (on a remote server) containing all of the backups for the databases on that server accross a network onto a central server, into a folder for that server/database. However, should one of the backups we have moved accross the network and onto the central server get deleted or moved, the XCopy does not attempt to move the copy from the remote server back onto the central server the next time we run the procedure...so is there a setting that essentially states, "sync up the source and destination, in order to make the destination match the host"? and what causes XCopy to ignore the files it previously moved into the destination? Is it a property on the file? Any advice?
I am executing xcopy with xp_cmdshell in a stored procedure and it is not copying all the files. There are about 600 files in the source directory and only around 190 are copied to the destination.
The command in the stored procedure is this N'xcopy c:source*.* c:dest'
I originally developed my application using SQL 2005 Developer Edition, but want to switch to using an XCOPY deployed DB on SQL Express for deployement.
I have successfully copied the database.mdf/ldf files over to me project, and can connect using Data Source=.SQLExpress and AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|[database].mdf attributes.
The question is, how do I enable CLR integration for my C# SP's?
I've tried executing the following in various places:
sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1 go reconfigure go
But I obviously haven't hit the spot because I'm getting the following error when VS deploys my SP library:
Error: starting database upload transaction failed. Error: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
After setting up the linked server connection at the standby server, Itried to xcopy a file through the sql server 2000 schedule task to thestandby server's shared directory. But it keeps giving me the errormessage with'Invalid Drive Specification'.My whole process includes1) set up linked server connection on the standby server2) set up job to xcopy file as operating system commend in sql serverfrom the production box(xcopy c:directoryfile.bak\standby_servere$directory /c)3) test, but not successful - I am already running the whole scheduletask as a Windows user with Admin authority.)What did I do wrong or did I miss something?Thanks in advance
I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC that has SQL Server Express (SSE) and Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) programs. The Microsoft "pubs" Database is installed in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). I created a website in my VWDE program. I need the .mdf file of the pubs Database in the App_Data folder of website of my VWDE project. I think that User Instance in my SSE is established. I have studied Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) and User Instance for a quite a while and I still do not know where and how to use Xcopy to get the mdf file of the pubs database into the App_Data folder of the website of my VWDE project. Please help and give me the detailed key steps/instructions about where and how to get the .mdf file of the pubs database into the App_Data folder of the website of my VWDE project via Xcopy.
Hi all, I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project? Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
I run SB between 2 SQL servers. In profiler on an initiator side I see next error: 'This message could not be delivered because its message timestamp has expired or is invalid'. For the conversation we use best practice, i.e. target closes a conversation. Target side succeed to close conversation, but initiator still stay in DO (disconnect_outbound). What is a reasone for the error? What to do?
I see in profiler this error: "This message could not be delivered because its message timestamp has expired or is invalid" What is a reason for error?
I am having trouble specifying a message body that is valid. I mean for the client to send. If I leave it as null then everything is ok but if I create a memorystream and add a line of text it reports back it did not pass validation. I do not understand this and am not sure what to do. I need to send a message based on a code and text but do not know the format of the body that is allowed. The code I am refering to comes out of HelloWord_CLR because that is what I am formating my sample after. I call it the same way it calls the return message done in ServiceProc. I need to know the message format including body since this does not seem to work. A sample of the call is bellow.
// Create an empty request message
string Msg = "Hello";
MemoryStream body = new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Msg));

Know I want to change my Access Database into Database. Now what i required is when I create any Procedure then we use a condition helping keyword 'Where'
No what I required is when I execute any procedure using where clause It must open a Input Box where I put a condition
For Example when I create a procedure like this
create Procedure prc_Demo ( a int, as Select * from employee where emp_id = 'a' )
Something like that So I want when I execute this then there must be open a box where I type emp_id then it show matching the result
Has anyone encounterd this message in the sql log: ----- BACKUP LOG WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY or WITH NO_LOG is deprecated. The simple recovery model should be used to automatically truncate the transaction log. ----- DB's are in simple recovery mode and only a daily backup is being done on DB's. It almost seems that SQL is doing something internally.
i m using dynamic connection in rdl file firstly i m showing username and pwd . after this user name and pwd i make a connection string for my report. when i m entering invalid pwd, than report generate an error. and stop. is there any way by which i can trace error and flash a message box to user about his invalid user name or pwd.
I sent a message from Server A to B. I didn't end the conversation. The message is stuck in sys.tranmission_queue with no error message (empty) . the initiatorQueue is empty (no records). why doesn't the message get sent ?
We are running transactional replication on sqlserver 2000 and I see the following message: "The initial snapshot for article reason_type is not yet available" Followed 10 minutes later by a "timeout expired" event (we see lots of these). I see no reason for a snapshot to even be running at 3:04 AM but then, it apparently was so what can I say. The Snapshot agent history does not show any entries for the last year so that is a bit of a mystery. The table in question seems identical at both the publisher and subscriber (including content).
Any ideas why this message would appear? It appears that a snapshot for this article was somehow involved but I thought a snapshot was only created by specific request.
I have a service broker service and there are multiple clients that can put messages in the queue of that service. How do I check which message comes from which client? There is no field in the queue like message_senderId or something like that.

Hi,I am trying to write some C# ASP.NET 2.0 code. I have created a web form to send data to my sql server 2005 database. When I compile the application and insert data then click on the submit button I get this error

I am extracting data out of Lotus Notes into an Oracle DB using EM. I keep getting an error "[Lotus][ODBC Lotus Notes] Data value is not a valid date, time or timestamp" I went ahead and dropped the destination table, and changed all of the "date" columns to varchar's, redefined the transformation, and executed package again, but still get the error. Any ideas?
