Hey,
I have SQL Management Studio (2005). I just installed SQL Mobile SDK. When I start Management Studio, I do not have SQL Mobile Server in the drop-down to select from. I do have CE Server.
Do I need to Download something else or change some settings somewhere?
Thanks

I recently downloaded the sql mobile edition, and then I found out about the compact edition.
I understand that these are relational lite version of sql server that can run on mobile devices.
However, what is the difference between the CF and mobile edition? Why should I choice one over the other?
I have just heard about sql everywhere, seems there are all these edtions and how would you choice the right tool for the right job?
Many thanks if someone could explain further,
Steve
Hello,
there are some limitations in SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition - e.g. there is no TRUNCATE TABLE statement, the UPDATE .. FROM clause is not allowed etc. Are these limitations in Compact Edition too? Is T-SQL in these editions functionally equal or different? Is there any comparison of T-SQL features in both editions?
I'm currently looking at adding a database to my company's WinCE 4.2 -based device, running applications coded with embedded CE 4.0. We want to start tracking potentially large quantities of user data (10K-30K 500 byte records) and are looking at a database engine to support this. The database would reside on the device although we would potentially dump the data from the devices to a central workstation that would be used to pull reports about the data across multiple devices. SQL Server Compact Edition sounds like a possible solution, but I'm unclear if it's supported on CE 4.2 or how to install it if it is. It's clearly supported on CE 5.0, but it may be a while before we upgrade to CE 5.0 or 6.0. I've seen references that say that SQL Server Compact Edition is the same as SQL Server Mobile Edition, and references that Mobile Edition is supported on CE 4.2, but I'm unclear if I can install and use SQL Server Compact Edition on CE 4.2 or if I'm on a wild goose chase. If not, can I use SQL Server Mobile Edition and migrate to SQL Server Compact Edition when we upgrade CE to 5.0 or 6.0? If not Mobile Edition, what about Microsoft SQL Server CE 2.0? Is that going too far back in the archives?
Thanks for any guidance/enlightenment you can offer.
Hi:
When I try and connecto to SQL CE I always get an invalid operation exception. I"m afraid that I did not follow the proper install for Orcas Beta 2. I can't remember if I was supposed to uninstall SQL Mobile 2005 first or not.
All I know is when I try and use my SQL CE I can't connecto to a DB / sdf file ?
Any help would be appreciated I"m just starting to use SQL CE.
thanks

Hello
We currently use SQL Mobile and SQL Server 2005. We depend heavily on merge replication for data to the field handheld devices.
We are going to be starting some new projects and I was wondering about moving to SQL Compact Edition as the first step to migrating all of our applications.
I am concerned, however, about the server side and replication. If we simply deploy SQL Compact Edition will there need to be any changes to the server for replication?
Thanks,

I have not seen much info on this so I thought I would ask the forum. I have VS2005, no SP1 and SQL Mobile installed on my computer. I started developing an app for Windows Mobile 5 using RDA and it appears to work fine. Now I want to know what happens to SQL Mobile if I install SQL CE. Is it going to affect my app? Do I have to install the SQL CE merge replications tools for IIS again? I already have them for SQL Mobile? Will this affect the operation of my app? It looks like the installation procedures call for installing SQL CE tools to VS2005 before installing VS2005 SP1 then install VS2005 SP1 and finally install SQL CE tools for VS2005 SP1. Any help, thoughts or experiences involving this would be appreciated.

In sql ce 2.0 in window ce 2003, I use isqlw20.exe to create database and table. Developed application with eVC++ 4.0
Now I have to use window mobile 5, VS 2005 for native C++ development, sql server mobile edition, but I can't found isqlw for this version of sql. I do not have sql server install in my desktop PC. So how could I create database and table with the pocket pc's database ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am confused about the version numbers for SQL Server Compact/Mobile. It _looks_ like the versions went from CE 2.0 to Mobile 2005 to CE 3.0 (or 3.1). Is this correct? In fact, I found one location the specifically said Compact Edition is the next version of Mobile. In another location I saw Compact Edition referred to as 2005 CE.
This has got me going because I am creating a Mobile/CE app and I keep getting a "Initialize SQL Server Reconciler" and the best information I can find indicates a mismatch between the server component and the client component.
So, what are the current versions of Mobile/CE? Is there a location that lists all of the components and what version they should be?
Thanks.

I can use crosstab query(intersection table) in sql server.
for example :
CREATE TABLE [Test] (
[id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[name] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CI_AS NULL ,
[subject] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CI_AS NULL ,
[Source] [numeric](18, 0) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'mike,N'math,60)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'tom',N'English',70)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'mike',N'france',80)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'jane',N'English',75)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'mary',N'france',57)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'tom',N'math',80)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'mike',N'Englist',100)
Go
--------
declare @sql varchar(8000)
set @sql = 'select name,'
select @sql = @sql + 'sum(case subject when ''+subject+''
then source else 0 end) as ''+subject+'','
from (select distinct subject from test) as a
select @sql = left(@sql,len(@sql)-1) + ' from test group by name'
exec(@sql)
But I cannot use it in sql server mobile editon.
HOw do I? thank you very much!!!
"SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition" is a standalone software?
or

Hi,
I have a program in VB.NET 2003 where I have query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM master..sysservers WHERE srvname = '" & strServerName & "'". This program copies data from .MDF file to another .MDF file. This query is written since I have created linked server.
Issue 1:
But now I to copy data from .SDF (SQL Server Mobile Edition) to desktop .MDF file. For this I cannot fire the above query on .SDF file. What is the other alternative?
Issue 2:
In the existing prgram that copies data from .MDF to .MDF, I have created linked server. Can I do the same with mobile edition?

Hi,
I am facing a wierd problem working with SQL Server Mobile edition database. The code works fine for some time and then it suddenly starts throwing "There is a file sharing violation. A different process might be using the file."
I am disposing and closing the connection after each operation.
Please find the function code below which is being used for any database operation.
SqlCeConnection sqlCon = null;
try
{
sqlCon = ConnectionFactory.getInstance().getPrimDsConnection();
sqlCon.Open();
readCmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand();
this.prepareStmtManyRows();
dataReader = this.readCmd.ExecuteReader();
IList result = this.populateManyRows();
return result;
}
catch (SqlCeException sqlEx)
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(
@"SqlCe Error in BaseReader.executeList() - ").Append(
sqlEx.Message).Append(':').Append(sqlEx.NativeError);
Log.getInstance().log(builder.ToString());
throw new DataAccessException(sqlEx);
}
finally
{
try
{
if( null != dataReader && ( !dataReader.IsClosed ))
{
dataReader.Close();
dataReader.Dispose();
}
if( null != readCmd) readCmd.Dispose();
if( null != sqlCon) sqlCon.Close();
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
}
}
I have also made sure that Query Analyzer is not running on my PDA.
I have been working on this since last one week but could not find a soultion.

Hello Everybody
I want to create SQL server 2005 mobile database on desktop programmatically with some inital data for my application and load it into device. We can create database only in VS2005 server explorer or SQL server 2005 application.

I have built an application for storing my flight times on my phone after each leg of a trip... I am using C# and Sql CE as the storage system for later export to a larger desktop version (in the works). My question is related to storing the sdf file on the storage card. Can it be done and what would the connection string look like since I have tried and got a error stating it can't find the sdf file in question. I have it setup right where if I were to do a fresh install it would ask for the install directory main memory or storage card. If I select storage card it installs just fine but when I run the app it does fail with the aforementioned error..
Storage Card is 2 gigs..
Thanks

Hi forum readers,
we are working on a release 2.0 mobile solution right now. In our version 1.0 we did not have to worry about memory issues as our application was the only application running on our target devices (e.g. T-Mobile MDA Compact II Pocket PCs, WM2005).
Now we need to share the available memory with others. As our application relies on its SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition database we are wondering about memory usage of that server.
We know that a Pocket PC divides its memory into Storage and Program. If our application uses a 5 MB database and 1.5 MB for DLLs and it's exe-file. These files reside in the storage space when not loaded. When the application starts up it is loaded in the program memory. What happens to the 5 MB database file? Is is loaded into Program memory as well? Are only portions of that file loaded? Or is nothing loaded at all?
Does anyone have a deeper insight into that server an can answer my questions.
Best regards,
Tobias

Hi,
I am using SQLCE and VS 2005 to create a database named "student.sdf" (inside my projects folder, of course). When click on the button, it will test for connection of database.
Everytimes I run the program, it will pop up an error message "The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [File name = .student.sdf]". How do I fix it?
Code Snippet
Imports System.Data.SqlServerCe
Public Class loginForm
Private _conn As SqlCeConnection
Private Sub ButtonLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonLogin.Click
_conn = New SqlCeConnection("Data Source =.student.sdf")
Try
_conn.Open()
MessageBox.Show("Correct")
Catch ex As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Hand, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
Finally
_conn.Close()
End Try
End Sub
End Class

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me as this is a bit of a puzzle.
I have created a database using a password, the create table scripts are executed successfully using the connection string however when I try and use the same connection string to insert some data into the database an error is produced, with the following message 'The specified password does not match the database password'.
I have opened the database using the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and provide the password and I can access the database without a problem.
When the connection object is first instantiated all the Connection String property, the connStr variable and the modifiedConnStr are all correct (by this I mean that the data source and the password are present). However when the connection object is accessed again the Connection String property and the connStr variable are both set incorrectly (by this I mean that the password= section of the string is missing) however the modifiedConnStr is set correctly (by this I mean that the password= section is present in the string).
The connection object does not get set in between creating and accessing the connection object.
I have resorted to using no password, however I really need to be able to use a password.
Here is a copy of the connection string I am using (Copied directly from the quick watch window):
"Data Source = '\Program Files\Application\DataBase\MyDatabase.sdf'; password="Pa55word";"
I am sorry this a little long winded however I would like to provide as much information as possible. I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thank you for reading.
