When I try to create a subscription to my SQL Server Compact 3.5-database file, it gives an SqlCeException-message that says that the file is not enabled for replication. How do enable it?
My SQL Server Management Studio won´t connect to my compact server file right now, so that method is not an option for me right now.
Hi all,
I have a database name MyDatabase (SQL Server Express Dabase File). Is there anyway that I could convert it to SQL Server Compact Edition File?
By the way does anyone here got any problem with programming in SQL Server Compact Edition? It troubles me.
Thanks,

Hi All ...I
have been following the MS on-line tutorials to get replication setup
between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition. I get to the
point where I run the Configure Web Synchronization and it is running
through the process where it is doing the automated configuration of
the shared directory - assigning users etc.I have attempted
this step with a user account that I expressly created for snapshots
and with the Administrator account and get the following error message:* The operation completed successfully. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070000)At
first, I thought this was a rights issue due to the fact that I was
using an account that I manually created. However, by using the
Administrator account (test only until I can figure this out) that
should have removed any rights issues associated with accessing the
shared directory where the snapshot will reside.Any help in getting this figured out will be greatly appreciated.David L. Collison Any day above ground is a good day!
Hi
I am trying to complete sql server compact edition book online walkthrough "Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Compact Edition". I am successful to complete it as guided using all default settings (e.g. anonymous access, windows authenticaion etc.) and the sample run on both emulator and my pocket pc svc5000. I have following configuration..
Windows 2000 professional sp4
Sql server 2005 standard edition sp1
VS 2005 profesional edition (sp1 not installed)
Sql server compact edition
Sql server compact edition server tools
But the problem is that in production environment i will not be able to connect to the sql server using named instance (e.g machine_nameinstance_name). i have to use ip address in that situation. so i tried to modify the sample to use ip address in place of named instance and then the problem starts.. I have configued my sql server to allow remote connections using tcp/ip and named pipes using sql surface area config tool.
When using named instance i used following code to Synchronize with sqlserver 2005 with and it worked perfectly :
Dim filename As New String("Program FilesTestTest.sdf")
Dim repl As New SqlCeReplication()
repl.InternetUrl = http://machine_name/Test/sqlcesa30.dll
repl.Publisher = "machine_nameinstance_name"
repl.PublisherDatabase = "Test"
repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication
repl.Publication = "Test"
repl.Subscriber = "Test"
repl.SubscriberConnectionString = "Data Source='" + filename + "';Password='';Max Database Size='128';Default Lock Escalation ='100';"
Try
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase)
repl.Synchronize()
Catch err As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString)
End Try
When i tried to do replication using ip address it shows following error:
System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException was unhandled
HResult=-2147467259
Message="Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connection information. SQL Server does not exist, access is denied because the IIS user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect."

StackTrace:

I am using following code to connect using ip address:
Dim repl As New SqlCeReplication()
repl.InternetUrl = http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/test/sqlcesa30.dll
repl.PublisherNetwork = NetworkType.TcpIpSockets
repl.PublisherAddress = "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,XXXX"
repl.Publisher = "SQL2005" 'instance name of sql in sql2005
repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication
repl.PublisherDatabase = "Test"

repl.Subscriber = "Test"
repl.SubscriberConnectionString = "Data Source='" + filename + "';Password='';Max Database Size='128';Default Lock Escalation ='100';"
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase)
repl.Synchronize()
I have give rights to iuser_manchine_name in the public access list of publication and on database also.
I don't have any idea on where i am wrong... Please help soon..
Many thanks in advance..
We are developing Microsoft SQL Server CE 2.0 Merge Replication Using .NET Compact Framework. There is need of sinhronizations between SQL 2005 Mobile Edition witch resides on Barcode terminal (Windows CE) and SQL 2005 Developer Edition (on Windows XP). Everything is done by the book. There is few lines of code that we are using:
public bool Replicate()
{ bool ret = true;
SqlCeReplication repl = null;
try {
// Instantiate and configure
SqlCeReplication object repl = new SqlCeReplication();
string dbFile = ........
repl.InternetUrl = this.InternetUrl;
repl.InternetLogin = this.InternetLogin;
repl.InternetPassword = this.InternetPassword;
repl.Publisher = this.Publisher;
repl.PublisherDatabase = this.PublisherDatabase;
repl.PublisherLogin = this.PublisherLogin;
repl.PublisherPassword = this.PublisherPassword;
repl.Publication = this.Publication;
repl.Subscriber = this.Subscriber;
repl.SubscriberConnectionString ="Data Source=" +dbFile;
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(dbFile))
{ repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase);
}
repl.Synchronize();
}
IIS is configured, but in log on the server we've got this error:
2007/08/09 15:33:02 Hr=80004005 ACK:Error for DistributorSessionID = 58 2007/08/09 15:33:02 Hr=80004005 The SQL statement failed to execute. [,,,SQL statement,,] 28560 Please give us posible solution of this problem, we have searched on forums but with no result. p.s. I'ts urgent
We have bulk copy option enabled for our DB and we really use it. Will it be possible to set up a snapshot replication over the Internet of particular tables to a remote server from which the data will be only retrieved and never changed? Also, is it necessary to have PKs in all tables for this one-way snapshot replication? (for transactional replication it is needed, as I know)
Thanks a lot!

UAT environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Enterprise Edition
SANDBOX environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Standard Edition
I have a database backup (.bak) that was taken from UAT environment that has CDC enabled on some tables. I want to restore that database into my SANDBOX environment which does not support CDC (because of standard edition). The restore process fails due to this incompatibility. Is there any way to restore without CDC (I dont CDC enabled on my SANDBOX; just my data from the backup) ?

I have an application that uses a SQL Server Compact 3.5 database backend. Everytime the application starts I want to zero out my database, meaning remove all records and reseed all identities. This datatbase is then filled based on a directory structure. Once this DB is filled I then send the entire database to a Windows Mobile PPC device via 802.11g WIFI. Before sending the database I first create an MD5 checksum on both the server and client sides to see if the database actually needs to be transfered. If the checksums match I will not send it as the client already has the lastest copy.
My problem is that I can never count on the database identity values starting at the same number on any particular instance of the application so the checksums are usually different. To solve this problem I need to ensure that everytime I start my server application the database (and all identifiers) will always be the same, will always be as if I just creaed it. How do I do this?!?!?!? This seems like it would be a trivial operation as I can imagine its use in multiple situations. Anyone know how to zero out the database?
I get the following error message when a job calls a Stored Procedure that TRUNCATES a Table:
Cannot truncate table 'CombinedSurveyData' because it is published for replication or enabled for Change Data Capture
Is my only option to change the TRUNCATE to DELETE?

Every time I modify my SQL Server database, it grows by about 1 MB. I haven't added any data, in fact have reduced column sizes. Is there a utility that will compact the database and return it to a more manageable size?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm trying to add a new transaction log file to a database with mirroring (high safety, automatic failover).
When I add the new transaction log file via SQL management studio, the mirroring status becomes suspended. When I try to restart mirroring, it attempts to re-synchronize and then goes back to the suspended state. Only after I delete the new transaction log file can I sucessfully restart mirroring.
Can you add a transaction log file to a mirrored database? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Also, I'm not sure if this matters, but I am trying this in my development environment and all 3 instances (principal, mirror, witness) are on the same server. It's a long shot, but I thought maybe both the mirror and principal are trying to create the file at the same location on disk.
Thanks,
Don

Any day above ground is a good day!
We have a plan to use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition RC1 as a backend. Our Front-end is VS .NET (VB.NET).
We want to know how to edit the Compact Edition database (.SDF). Is there any editor is available right now in the market? or microsoft provided any editor for this.
OR Can i use microsoft 2005 sql server standard edition for this.
Thanks
Is there any way to convert an Access or SQL server 2005 database to SQL server 2005 compact edition database??
Thank you very much!!
I'll try and ask one more time. Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
"A SQL Server Compact Edition DLL could not be loaded. Reinstall SQL Server Compact Edition. [ DLL Name = sqlceca30.dll ]"
or
"SQL Server Compact Edition encountered problems when opening the database"
"Internal error: The database is not initialized."
I've been fighting this for well over a week now. My XP based version works fine but this error occurs routinely on my CE4.2 device. I cannot find anything meaningful using Google other than 'look for non disposed' replication objects which I've done. Is this bad hardware? I don't believe I'm out of memory as the app is about 1.2MB including about 8 DLL's and GC indicates I have about 300KB of objects at the time of the failure. I also use a bunch of static (global) objects that I use throughout the code.
It would be nice if I could get the lower level error messages causing these failures but that is probably too much to ask.
The odd thing is that it's only the replication engine that fails as even after the failure, the app can reopen the DB and work with the data just fine.
My basic order of the application is...
1 Open DB SqlCEConnection
2 Create/Prepare any SqlCECommand objects
3 Do work here
4 Dispose any SqlCECommand objects
5 Close DB
6 Dispose SqlCEConnection object
7 Create SqlCEReplication object
8 BeginSynchronize
9 ... error here..
10 Dispose SqlCEReplication object
11 Reopen DB SqlCEConnection
I've tried creating the Replication object at program start and that does not help. I'm guessing there is something about .net that I don't understand either with stack space, # dll's or whatever. I've rearranged the order of the Dispose, Create, SQL CE objects to include just about every permutation but still am hitting this same problem.
Are there any tools that can help me profile this app for memory problems or usage? Everything seems geared for .Net and not .NetCF.
thanks.
Hi
We are checking VB 9 (Orcas).

Hello,
we've got a SQL Server 2005 which replicates with an SQL Server Compact 3.5. Every 10 to 20 synchronisations we're getting the error mentioned above. A Soft reset of the device helps to make the synchronization working again.
Why is this error happening and how can we resolve this?
BTW, we've also running system that replicates with an SQL Server Compact 3.0 without having this problems.
Thanks,

I posted a more detailed technical question a couple of weeks ago
with Subject = "Compact Edition 2005 Subscribers - Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based cleanup has deleted metadata"
But I got no replies.
Now my question is simpler: Is SQL Server 2005 Merge Replication reliable with Compact Edition subscribers on WindowsXP tablets?
We deleted all users' local databases a couple of weeks ago, and republished two publications with retention = 60 days.
Now we have at least one user who can't sync with the server, and replication monitor shows the error below.
But if she e-mails her sdf file to a support person, they can successfully sync her database.
We're sure that it's not a permissions issue, which is a normal suspicion when one user can perform a task that another can not.
It doesn't seem like a retention problem, because she's well inside the retention period.
She can successfully sync with the publication with upload/download tablers, but not with the publication with download only tables. Both publications were created on the same day, by the same DBA, with nearly identical properties.
This problem user has operated in the past with no problem, and she's configured identically to all of the others. It just seems like random flakyness with merge replication for Compact Edition subscribers.
I feel stupid saying that, because it sounds like I believe in a magical ghost in the machine. So my question is - IS MERGE REPLICATION A LITTLE BIT FLAKY FOR COMPACT EDITION SUBSCRIBERS ON XP MACHINES?
We've applied SP2 to the server, but no subsequent HotFixes.
We're trying to sell users and management on developing a larger occasionally connected system with the same replication scheme, so we need to know if it deserves our confidence.
Error messages:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Publisher for changes not yet sent to the Subscriber. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload). (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199402)
