I tried to create a simple application based on the Sql Server CE samples and, as is typical when I play with databases, the program failed. In this case it failed to even load. The program has a form and a data source that I dropped onto the form. When I run the program the program breaks at this line:
Code Snippetthis._connection = new global::System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection();
The error is:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.DllNotFoundException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Additional information: Unable to load DLL 'sqlceme35.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
My first attempt at 'fixing' this was simply to copy the requisite DLLs to my bindebug folder. I found the DLLs here:
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.5 and copied these - sqlcecompact35.dll, sqlceca35.dll, sqlceme35.dll, sqlceoledb35.dll, sqlceqp35.dll and sqlcese35.dll, sqlceer35EN.dll - to my bindebug folder.
Now instead of the first error, I get this error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Additional information: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
I am running Vista Business (x64) and using (the desktop version of) Sql Server Compact Edition 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition. The test 'program' is written in C#. (Incidentally I can play with the database with no problems in Visual Studio 2008's server explorer. I can look at data, add data, etc.)
I am kicking myself, but cannot seem to get a simple stored procedure to return ANY records. I know it's soming that has to do with the Joins. Don't know what. I ran query analyzer and passed it a valid city and nothing was returned, but no errors either. If I run the query without any parameters, all the records are retrieved fine. ANY IDEAS?
Can someone please help me fix this. The if statement always runs. I only want it to run if the statement is true and there is a result coming back. If the productID does not have any magazines linking to it, I don't want the If statement to run. Thanks in advance.
ASP.NET code:
If Not Magazine.GetMagazinesForProduct(ProductID) Is Nothing Then blanklabel.Text = categoryDetails.Spacer blanklabel.Visible = True blanklabel2.Text = categoryDetails.Spacer blanklabel2.Visible = True magazinerecommendedlabel.Text = "Recommended/Featured in the following magazine(s):" magazinerecommendedlabel.Visible = True End If -------------------------
magazine class:
Public Function GetMagazinesForProduct(ByVal productID As String) As SqlDataReader Dim connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim command As New SqlCommand("GetMagazinesForProduct", connection) command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Return command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) End Function
-----------------------
Stored Procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE GetMagazinesForProduct (@ProductID varchar) AS SELECT Magazine.[Name], Magazine.[Issue], Magazine.SmallImagePath FROM Magazine INNER JOIN MagazineProduct ON Magazine.MagazineID = MagazineProduct.MagazineID WHERE MagazineProduct.ProductID = @ProductID RETURN GO
Hi all, I have a table with 2 columns (simplified for this question): Date and Action
Date is normal datetime, Action is varchar and can be either Sent or Received. The data can look like this:
1. '2008-04-02 15:09:09.847', Sent 2. '2008-04-02 15:09:10.125', Sent 3. '2008-04-02 15:09:11.125', Received 4. '2008-04-02 15:09:12.459', Received 5. '2008-04-02 15:09:15.459', Received 6. '2008-04-02 15:09:24.121', Sent
7. '2008-04-02 15:09:28.127', Received
I want to find a pair of rows Sent-Received with the Max Date difference, where Received follows immediately after Sent.
It means in our example, valid are only lines 2. and 3. or 6. and 7.
In this example, rows 6. and 7. have bigger difference of Dates, so the result of the query should be
6. '2008-04-02 15:09:24.121', Sent, 7. '2008-04-02 15:09:28.127', Received
It is probably easy, I just cannot work it out. Suprisingly finding MIN was quite easy. Thanx for any tips! Regards, alvar
Hi all, I have a problem with this trigger. It seams to be very simple, but it doesn't work...
I created a trigger on a table and I would want that this one updates a field of a table on a diffrent DB (Intranet). When I test it normally (a real situation), it doesn't work, but when I do an explicit update ("UPDATE AccesCard SET LastMove = getDate();" by example) it works.
If anyone could help me, I would appreciate.
NB: Is there a special way, in a trigger, to update a table when the table to update is on another BD ?
Francois
This is the trigger: ------------------------------------------------------------
ALTER TRIGGER UStatus ON AccesCard AFTER UPDATE, INSERT AS
DECLARE @noPerson int
SET NOCOUNT OFF
IF UPDATE(LastMove) BEGIN SELECT @noPerson = Person FROM INSERTED UPDATE Intranet.dbo._Users SET Intranet.dbo._Users.status = 1 WHERE personNo = @noPerson; END
***Disclaimer*** This is homework, just need a hint.
I compare this to other scripts and can't find any differences. I'm getting a syntax error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Incorrect syntax near '('. Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near '('. Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near '('.
Any hints would be great! Thanks.

I am not sure if this is the right folder to post, but currently I'm considering using Flash as an interface, the application at www.mobik.com seems impressive, simple and sweet. But I'm wondering if I can build desktop application with flash and SQL2005 as backend for all the processing. at the same time, the flash shall be getting updates from a server. Possible?
I'm trying to work my way through the steps of using a User Id and Password in a connection string.
I'm working with SQL 2005 Express, VS2005, in the development server. Got an error I can't get around...tried it several diffent ways on a slightly more complicated test site...no joy...so went to the MSDN tutorial...made the most "vanilla" test I could think of, and still can't figure it out.
I thought it would be simple enough that I could post the whole thing (below)
The test works fine with Integrated Security = True in the connection string. When I remove that phrase, I get the error:
{"CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'. An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file E:MyPathApp_DataVSST_DB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."}
This occurs on the cn.Open statement below.
It gets past the login, so I know that the SQL User and password match up correctly.
========================= Page Code Behind (no controls on page) ------------
Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Partial Class _Default Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim cn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("VSST_CN").ToString())
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM VSST_Table", cn) cn.Open() Dim rdr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) rdr.Read() Response.Write(rdr(0).ToString())
End Sub End Class
================= The DB
Table VSST_Table, ID is int, primary key, identity Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5 are varchar(50)
I added one record ("A", "B", "C", "D", "E") to the table through VS2005 Server Explorer
This shows up in Count = 1 from running the page when Integrated Security = True
================= In SSMSE: (this is ALL I did, tried to use the minimum so not to confuse...)
I added the SQL Authentication Server level user "VSST" with the password "vsst123" (and the login works, as noted above)
I attach the .mdf
I add VSST to the Database Users, and give it db_owner
I add VSST to the Table with all permissions checked.
=====================================
I can't figure this out. This is a very vanilla test and I'm stumped. I'm about to give up on SQL Authentication entirely (at least for now), and just try to filter my inputs for SQL Injections...that's the only reason I have (at this stage in my biz plan) for needing SQL Authentication. On the other hand, I really don't like being this stumped on something that is so widely promoted as a common practice.
I'd like to build a simple search engine against Sql Server. Does .NET Framework provide some class to help in this task? From what I've heard there is an interface which implements it..

Does anyone know how that I can get the reportbuilder.application to run on a client on the network. It seems that if I have to remote into the actual server to get the report builder to work would be pointless for users on the network. I get the 401 Unauthorized all the time. Any comments would help.
I'm developing a scientific appliation - to forecast the spread of disease. The algorithm has been designed such that different subpopulations reside on separate computers.
The model uses the same set of data repeatedly, and only returns a small signature that reflects the appropriateness of a particular set of parameters.
The model does however change, and I'm looking for a way to roll out this model (which only contains T-SQL, CLR assemblies and service broker code).
I have considered setting up a database on each computer which has the 'data' files which are static, and a separate database which contains the algorithm which can be amended.
Could one then detach the algorithm database making the new version that can then be rolled out (by attaching it to each computer used)?
Is this the best practice? Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to do this?
This is simple enough and I'm stumped. Why doesn't this work?
Code Snippet use w go -- Create image warehouse create table dbo.ImageWarehouse ( [ImageWarehouseID] int identity(1,1) primary key, [ImageName] varchar(100), Photo varbinary(max)) Go -- Import image Insert into dbo.ImageWarehouse ([ImageName]) values ('testingimage.gif') update dbo.ImageWarehouse set Photo = (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c: estingimage.gif', SINGLE_BLOB)AS x ) WHERE [ImageName]='testingimage.jpg' go -- Check population --delete from dbo.ImageWarehouse select * from dbo.ImageWarehouse go -- Export image declare @SQLcommand nvarchar(4000) set @SQLcommand = 'bcp "SELECT top 1 Photo FROM w.dbo.ImageWarehouse WHERE ImageName = ''testingimage.gif''" queryout "c: estingimage_out.gif" -T -N -S [my server name]' exec xp_cmdshell @SQLcommand go
But testingimage_out.gif is unreadable. It's the same size (28k) as the original trestingimage.gif. Same result with a .jpg file. Try to open the file and it's just red X.
No SQL errors. Just result error. What am I overlooking?
I currently have a simple cdosys email task that has been scheduled to send a simple email from ssis. The email is sent using an activex script in a "SQL 2000 DTS Package Task". When executed manually, the email is sent ok. When scheduled (and run under our SQL agent account), it fails. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is this a permissions issue?
'-- this script seems to cause problems, but only when scheduled -- dim mailer set mailer = CreateObject("CDO.Message") dim cdoconfig const cdoDispositionNotificationTo = "urn:schemas:mailheader:disposition-notification-to" const cdoReturnReceiptTo = "urn:schemas:mailheader:return-receipt-to" set cdoconfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

I can not get any INSERT command to work!
First i have tried the VS wizard for a new connection and a dataset. but after inserting a row into one of the dataset tables and then updating it to SQL CE with tha data adapter, nothing happens! NO ERROR and NO inserted row in the database file! so the identity of the inserted row in dataset table doesnt get updated.
Then i tried a simple code without any dataset in a clean solution:
Code Snippet
Dim con As New SqlCeConnection("Data Source=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase#1.sdf") Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand("INSERT INTO [Table1](Name) VALUES('TestValue')", con) Try con.Open() cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() Catch ex As SqlCeException MessageBox.Show(ex.Message) Finally con.Close() End Try NO ERROR! NO INSERTED ROW! Nothing happen!
How do I change application code to easily switch between the application working against a test database versus working with a production database?
My thought is to change the connection string to work with a test DB, and when ready to Publish, change the connection string back to the production DB. After Publish is successful, change the connection string back to the test DB.
At first, it appears it will work. Will it? Whether it will or won't?
hello it seems lack of c# skills is getting the better of me here...iv been trying to get this to work for hours now without success. I have just started working in c# so i am a beginner :) all i want to do it query the database, check to see if a title exists, if yes then populate textbox saying 'title in use' but if the title doesnt exists then continue executing rest of code to add the title. You'll notice iv tried to use string variables and sqlDataAdapter but i cant get these to work either...please help so far i have this that keeps giving me the error that my button click is undefined: protected void bookButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){ //string title;try{SqlConnection conn1 = new SqlConnection(); conn1.ConnectionString = "Data Source=Gemma-PC\SQLEXPRESS;" +"Initial Catalog=SoSym;" + "Integrated Security=SSPI;";SqlCommand findTitle = new SqlCommand("SELECT title FROM Publication WHERE title='" + titleTextBox.Text + "';", conn1);
conn1.Open(); findTitle.ExecuteNonQuery(); /* DataSet myDataSetTitle = new DataSet("PublicationTitle"); myDataSetTitle.Clear(); myDataAdapterTitle.Fill(myDataSetTitle);//myDataSet contains results from above SELECT statement title = myDataSetTitle.Tables[0].Rows[0]["title"].ToString();*/ }catch(Exception ex) {TitleInvalidMessage.Text = "Title Not Accepted: This title is already in use by another publication" +ex.Message; } //title does not exist in table so continue and add to database //rest of code here
Hi All,Can u please suggest me some books for relational database design ordatabase modelling(Knowledgeable yet simple) i.e. from which we couldlearn database relationships(one to many,many to oneetc.....),building ER diagrams,proper usage of ER diagrams in ourdatabase(Primary key foreign key relations),designing smallmodules,relating tables and everything that relates about databasedesign....Coz I think database design is the crucial part of databaseand we must know the design part very first before starting up withdatabases.....Thanks and very grateful to all of you....Vikas
Hai All , Iam having the one Application in DotNet2005.But iam using the two database(SqlServer2005).If user's login the application it will check credentials in first database, if he is not having the login credentials it will cheek the second Database. How can I handle in the configuration file?. How can I change the connection string depending upon the Database in my application for database operation (like insert and update).Any one kindly provide the solution.Thanks and regards,sureshK
I've looked over the "how do I" stuff but not found a simple, straightforward to simply make a complete snapshot of a relatively small development database (perhaps 2 to 3 meg at this point) so that I can bring it to my local system (from a hosting provider) or vice-versa. I see the info on "SQL Server Import and Export Wizard" but I don't find the functionality in SQL Server Management Studio Express -- or am I missing it? Such a process seems obvious. It's not "replication" is it? I don't need it on an on-going basis -- just an occasional one-time thing. Mahalos (thanks) in advance for any guidance ... :) KevInKauai
I am writing a simple program which runs on users xp machines and accesses a simple table on an NT Server.
In otherwords, the database consists of just a single table with perhaps 4 fields and a maximum of 200 records, with low transaction activity (users periodically update their status or check on other users' statuses).
Do I need to use SQL????
What is my best option for such a simple table / database.
I thought I would start learning how to backup my SQL Server 2005 database using the simple recovery method. Using the SQL Server Management Studio I started the backup task. In the Back Up Database dialog box the Recovery Model is set to Full and disabled (grayed out). It does not give me the option to switch to the Simple Recovery Model. Is there a setting I need to adjust that will allow me to switch to the Simple Recover Model?
Could some help me out an tell me why this wont run.
I think I got an error at the bottom

This connection works: Dim ConnString As SQLConnection ConnString = ("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database1Names.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")
but this one does not work. Why doesn't it work? Dim ConnString As SQLConnection ConnString = ("Server=(local).SQLExpress; Database = Database1Names.mdf;Data Source = Trusted_Connection = True") This code I copied from the tutorials I've read so I'm very confused why it won't work. the one that does work is nothing like this one!! The first connection is the one I got from the property window of the dataset I'm using XP Pro, VB.net express 2005 and SQL Express. I don't have any passwords on my laptop As a beginner, what confuses me is that the tutorials I read say one thing, yet the code that works is completely different. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Regards, Steve
Hi, I'm interested in how asp.net application communicates with MS SQL database. I mean, is communication encrypted or can it be? I have scenario where database and web application will communicate over Internet, they are not in the local network. Please share your opinions.
Dear all I am a pretty new in the development world fresh from uni. I am doing development on a system that has a security database. Access to the data in that database is pretty important. So in case the main server where the database is stored for soem reason fails or gets compromised i need to have a second copy with the most recent data in that database and keep the application up and running. The data i have is stored in a SQL 2005 database. What are the recomended aproaches for acheiving this needed reliability? Would running the SQL Agent every 2 minutes do the trick? And replicate the database to another server and then have asecondary deployment on that server running as a backup? Or are there any other means? Any advice is apreciated. Sincerely
I was all set to build some triggers on some modified date tables when in the last minute I found out that the application (built in C#) was controlling the after update trigger.
