Is there a way to use SSIS to copy data from a SQLServer CE database to a SQL Server 2005 database?
I have a database that has only been used on a mobile device, but now I want to use it among several devices, so I want to copy the structure and data to a SQL Server 2005 database and expand it's scope.
Hi
We are checking VB 9 (Orcas).
we connected to database created under with sql server 7. with this code
Public cn As New ADODB.Connection
Public Sub OpenDB()
cn.Open("Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial catalog=Reservation;Data Source=.")
End Sub
this code worked well.
we know sql7 is not compatiable with vista. please tell us how to connect it wiith sql2005 . we downloaded orcas express edition beta. we created a database also. please let u know how to connect with Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 (.NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5).

Ok, here is my dilemma
I have an application that has many sites. Each site has it's own database. The databases have common tables (ie the name and fields are the same) What I want to be able to do is when creating a new database, I want to be able to copy certain common table data from one database to another. I have run into an error because the table have an IDENTITY so this is not working
INSERT INTO Containers SELECT * FROM ADMS2_Indian_Point.dbo.Containers
I also tried
USE ADMS2_RSCS
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT Containers ON
GO
INSERT INTO Containers SELECT * FROM ADMS2_Indian_Point.dbo.Containers
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT Containers OFF
GO
I got an error saying that I need to have a column list. I am trying to use this for any tables, so my question is this..
Is there any way to get around using a column list or is there a way to dynamically create the column list?
Or, Is there a better way that I should be doing this?
Please keep in mind I am not a dba and everything I have learned about SQL is from my good pal Google :)
Thanks for any help
We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.

- SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 Server Tools
I want to do the following:
1. I want to create a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 database in the SQL Server Management Studio
2. I want my SQL Express server in SQL Server 2005 to be a distributor and publisher
About 1. In SQL Server Management Studio I cannot choose SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 .
ABout 2. I tried to setup my server to be a distrubutor by running a stored procedure with the following name: sp_adddistributor. I get the following error: This edition of SQL Server cannot act as a Publisher or Distributor for replication.
Does anyone have a solution to both problems.
Hi,
I am using SQL Express 2005 server and sql compact edition for my PDA. For synchronization, which SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Server Tools installation package do I use?
Is it Sqlce30setupen.msi or sql2kensp4.msi or sql2kensp3a.msi? I know for sql server 2005 its Sqlce30setupen.msi. Is it the same for the SQL Express 2005?
Thanks
Hi,
I am very new to SQL Compact. I am trying to create one database which can work on the desktop application and also on a pda application. I want to create the database but I am unable to start without Management Studio. Can you guide me to the right tools so that I can create database, view it and manage it use something like Management Studio Express.
Also one more question is if my database needs to be at both places on the desktop and on pda how can i synchronise them. PDA will take using c# application data from RFID scans and then i need to sync that database on the desktop so that reports and other info can be generated from the desktop c# application. How to do this?
Please can you guide me to any webcasts or labs so i can clarify my doubts about the design.

Hello,
I am a SQL novice and I installed SQL Server Compact 3.5 and wanted SQL Server 2005 Express instead. I uninstalled the Compact version, but when I try to install Express, it still just installs the regular SQL Server 2005 Configuration tools. I have went so far as to uninstall all my Visual Studio Express apps and SDKs and even the .NET 3.5 framework, but it WILL NOT install the SQL Server 2005 Express. I am running 32-bit Windows Vista Home edition.
Please help.
Thanks.
I have:
A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.
The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".
Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.
I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.
If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.

Hello, How are you?
I have a problem when I try to create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. When I€™m going to choose the data source, the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition provider doesn€™t appear in the list. I installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=%2085E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en. In the additional information says by installing SQLServerCE31-EN.msi installs the provider (System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll) in the GAC (global assembly cache) and registers the OLEDB provider (sqlceoledb30.dll). So, I don€™t understand why couldn€™t I create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE?
I appreciate your help€¦
Hi Guys,
Been following a video from Jim Wilson on merge replication between sql server 2005 and compact 3.5. The problem I have is that in the video, the subscriber types say SQL Server Compact, but on my 2005 server it says SQL Server Mobile. I have installed all the parts of Compact 3.5, so how do I get 2005 to use Compact and not Mobile?
Many thanks,
Millicent.
I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Would it be recommended to use SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition on a web site, if that site received very few requests per month?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
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,

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!
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,
Having read a lot about SQL Server 2005 CE, I decided, after seing that it was finally available, to start its installation.
1- I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=85E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en
2- Also I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition books online from following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E6BC81E8-175B-46EA-86A0-C9DACAA84C85&displaylang=en
==> Is there anything else missing if I intend to use it for development with Visual Studio 2005 (VC++)?
==> What is "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Developer SDK" compared to the one "SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition" I installed? Should I install it?
ref: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E9AA3F8D-363D-49F3-AE89-64E1D149E09B&displaylang=en)
3- There is also a link, which btw doesn't work at all, that should allow me to download following item:
"Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Tools of VS 2005 sp1"
==> Not being able to have any infos about it, what is the use of it? Should I install it in my environment? If so, any working link where I can download it from?
4- I finally noted, while browsing through SQL Server 2005 CE books online, the following note:
The following programming models are supported by SQL Server Compact Edition:
ADO .NET, accessible by using C# or Microsoft Visual Basic
OLE DB, accessible by using Visual C++ option from within Visual Studio 2005
==> How come that CE is not accessible using ADO.NET model when using VC++?
Thanks in advance,

I have a PDA application that manage a database.
My application uses Sql server 2005 Mobile edition and I want to change to
Sql server 2005 Compact edition.
I have an application that automatically upgrade new version of my software at users (customers sites) It is shipped on a memrory card (SD Card).
I want in my upgrade tool to install Sql server 2005 Compact edition so I do it by running the two cab files :
sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB and sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
It works ok but I want also to uninstall Sql server 2005 Mobile edition and I do not find out how to do it automatically, First I do not know how to find out if Sql server 2005 Mobile edition is installd and if so how to uninstall it.
I want to do it all automatcally in my upgrade utility because my customers do not know to do it manually by theself.
Second I want to know if I have to use the Sql server 2005 Compact edition Uprade tool to upgrade my clients old databases because the now application works ok without Upgrading the database.
Thanks

Hi
Can we use Top Clause in the Select statement while using SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition. If not, is there any other workaround available to achieve same results.

I think I read somewhere that sql server 2005 Compact Edition (3.1) does not support views. Does anyone know if views were added to 3.5?

Hello,
I want to learn if it is possible to develop applications for SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition using .NET Compact version 1.0. The major doubt is the possibility for version 1.0. It is reasonable to deliver SQL Compact Edition redistributables with an application, but this is not great to require ,NET 2.0.
Many thanks.
Hello
I'm trying to use application designed for 32bit operating system on 64bit (Longhorn beta 2). This application requires SQL Server CE 2005, I installed it (x32) but the application still says that it isn't.
What can be the problem? I suggest the application cannot retrieve information about SQL Server CE installation. But maybe the reason is I need to install something like SQL Server CE for 64bit operating system? Is it present "in native"?
Hello,
I have a computer thats running XP 64 bit version. I want to replicate between SQL server 2005 and SQL server 2005 compact edition. But it doesn't works. So i looked for a solution and i came to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912430
This page is telling me:
You cannot replicate data from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Compact Edition by using the 64-bit version of IIS
Is that a problem that can be solved by not using a other Operating System?
Or can you maybe install a 32-bit IIS on XP 64 bit?
Hello
I have a SQL Server 2005 (build 9.0.3050) database with tables belonging to
different schemas. I am in the process of developing a Windows Mobile 5.0
application that will work against this database, and I€™m planning to use
Remote Data Access with SQL Server 2005 CE to synch data.
I have my RDA all set up and working correctly IIS-wise, and have no problem
pulling a table from my database. However, when I attempt to push a modified
table back to the database, I get an €˜Internal error: Failure setting up
bindings, possibly caused by insufficient permissions.€™ error (which equates
to error 28621: SSCE_M_BINDINGS), which according to
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172898.aspx is an internal error
which €œcannot be resolved by common troubleshooting techniques€?. The
€˜insufficient permissions€™ is a red herring I think, since the problem
persists even if the SQL Server login that is being used for RDA is in the
sysadmin role.
I€™ve attempted to identify the problem by starting from scratch with a new
database and a new table with a couple of test columns. With the table
freshly created as dbo.TableName RDA works fine. However, when I create a
schema and transfer the table to the schema, RDA push fails as above, so to
me it looks like the schema is causing the problem.
Anyone any ideas about this? All help greatly appreciated!

Hi!
I have a problem changing the language setting to swedish on sql server 2005 compact edition. The thing is that I'm using a language dependent format: '1998-02-28 14:23:05' (Numeric) when saving and I rather don't want to change this format, because it's a lot of work. (The default setting on the database seems to be us-english, which has the format month-day-year and there by gets wrong for me).
As I understand, this is detemined by the language settings on login. So I set this by using the 'locale identifier' (sv-SE) in the connection string to the CE database, but when I try to save the data, the datum is still interpreted as us-english format.
(The application I'm running have been upgraded from sql compacte edition 2.0 where this worked just fine, though without specifing any language settings in the connection string.)
Appreciate any help!
OK I think I am missing something here. I have installed the newly released SQL Compact Edition, Server Tools, and Tools for VS SP1. According to the documentation you can do the following to create a SQL Compact Edition DB:
Creating a SQL Server Compact Edition database on the server
In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer.
In Object Explorer, click Connect, and then choose SQL Server Compact Edition.
In the Connect to Server dialog box, select <New Database€¦> from the Database file drop-down list.
In the Create New SQL Server Compact Edition Database dialog box, type a file path and file name for the new database file. You can optionally select the default sort order and choose whether you want to encrypt or password-protect the database. If you choose to encrypt or password-protect the database, type a password, and then click OK.
Click Connect to connect to the new SQL Server Compact Edition database. The database is now displayed in Object Explorer.
I see no reference to or any option to create or connect to a SQL Server Compact Edition database in SQL Mgmt Studio. I had SQL 2005 Mobile installed previously and this still shows as an option. What I am missing here? Is SQL Mobile now SQL Compact Editon?
Thanks in advance,
Jack

I have installed SQL Server 2005 CE on my computer, but when I try to add a data connection to a CE database in Visual Studio 2005, I cannot find the option "SQL Server 2005 Combact Edition". Why?
I am used to work with relational SQL Server databases in other editions and am fairly new to SQL compact. I have installed the compact edition and successfully opened a connection and worked with DB objects in the Compact edition, using Server Management Studio.
I have 2-3 questions:
- Are there any means / drivers / data access installations that would allow me to connect to a SQL Compact database using the data access means that I am used to in other editions of SQL Server? In other words, can I install a data-access "converter" that would know how to talk to the SQL Compact databases over the usual TCP/1434 protocol (or any other port)? I am looking for this feature in order to connect to the SQL Compact the same way I connect to any other relational database. Right now, I am using Toad for SQL Server and it would be nice if I could connect to a SQL Compact.
- With other (non-Compact) editions, I can create an alias to a SQL Server and then specify the means to connect to the server. Can I create an alias to a SQL Compact database/server? I tried but unsuccessfully. This relates to my previous question- If I could create an alias, then I could (I imagine) connect to the Compact databases/server the same way I connect to any relational database using the alias.
- Are there any tutorials for people who are used to working with other (non-Compact) editions that are starting to work with Compact? Any BOL sections that explain the differences between other editions and Compact, from a management-tools/connectivity standpoint? I found some literature; wondering if there's something more detailed out there.
Thank you in advance.
I am making a WPF app, and I want to use SQL Server Compact 4.0 for database management, but it doesn't support Remote data access, on the other hand SQL Server Compact 3.5 does support it but I can't use it in WPF ( I've installed it but can't add it in my project, it's not there in the templates). So is there any alternatives, for a light DBMS, that are not installed separately?
