HELP US MICROSOFT: SYNCH BETWEEN SQL EXPRESS AND SQL MOBILE
Mar 28, 2006
Hi Everyone
As most of you do, I am eagerly awaiting the ability to synchronize my sql mobile database on the hand held to a local sql express database on my local machine
I know users in Microsoft have pointed out to us that we are getting things for free.
At the same time, Microsoft is getting our patience for free and at a cost to us developers.
Its nearly April and as one article says Microsoft will release a fix for this inadequacy
Microsoft...we are happy to pay for this. Palm offers it so what is the big deal. Its not the
reinvention of the wheel. We would have liked that instead of the server synchronization
that bypasses the local sql express database
I as many others are happy to pay
Please let us know when you will be addressing this problem.
I would appreciate the feedback and frustration of other developers. Maybe this will show them we are really running out of time with our clients
Regards
Touraj

I have a query that executes just fine except that it won't recognize varchar(255) ( or any other value within the () ) and if I leave it off like this: varchar, then it executes but it leaves that value as 1 and that is just not very useful for my purposes. This also happens with anything else that requires () to add length such as char(), or nvarchar(), etc... Any ideas?

anyway, on the 5th exercise wherein i'm supposed to add a new data
connection through the server explorer.. when i chose the option of
adding a new data source and was prompted to select a data source i
couldnt find the Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition data source..

SQL Mobile database seems to not provide import/export utilities.
I think using Publication/Subscription is one of the solution, is it right?
Also, besides typing insert statement manually, there are any other ways to transform data to the SQL Mobile database?

I have uninstalled the SQL Server Express Edition that I have installed from the CDs that were given to me during a Chicago Conference when READY TO LAUNCH Visual Studio 2005, SQL SERVER 2005, and Biz Talk 2005.
Then I went to microsoft website: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/register/default.aspx and downloaded and installed the so called Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and I got the messages Error that you read below. Then I Uninstalled Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and went again to msdn website and downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Advanced Services SP1 and installed it. I got again the same message as below.
MESSAGE:
1. First comes a window with the title: €œsetup.exe €“ Unable to Locate Component€?
And it displays a message:
This application has failed to start because MSTDCPRX.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
2. After I click the OK button of this window it comes another window with the title: €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2005 Server Setup€?
And it displays a message: Failed to load SqlSpars.dll
Does anybody can tell what is going on with the 3 times I tried to installed different SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and I get the same message?????
Thanks for your help and support when you have time to respond.
Sincerely,
TonyC

Hi all,
Thanks in advance,
I have to transfer data from sql express 2005 to sql mobile(.sdf).
Actually i have a sql server express 2005 (sqlee) in laptop...
and the .sdf (sqlce) handheld device (ppc) that has been connected by activesync.
Can you please make it clear for my following questions?
1. Is it possible to write a query like " insert into ....sdf select from...sqlexp...." between 2 servers...?
2. Is there any copy command like a BULKCOPY .. to insert all records to .sdf (sqlce) from sql server express?
(or)
3. Is it correct to create a smart device application (CF 2.0) to transfer data between sql express and .sdf by using active sync...?
I would appreciate your comments..
Thanks,
Kumaran A

I am now writing application to connect SQL Server Express in Windows Mobile 5.0.
While running the code, I got error "PlatformNotSupportedException". I realized that it is a problem on different locale on the PDA and the SQL Server. So I tried to re-install the SQL Server for another collation, which is Latin1_General_CI_AI. I have also set the collation to Latin1_General_CI_AI at database-level.
Unfortunately, in the Visual Studio Debugger, I found that the error message is
mscorlib.dll!System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CultureInfo(int culture = 3076, bool useUserOverride = true) + 0xc8 bytes
where the 3076 means Chinese (Hong Kong SAR, PRC) locale from MSDN.
Seems to me that I cannot really change the collation in this Express Edition.
How can I solve it?
Thanks

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you,

Hello,
I would like to request you to kindly point me to a location where I may obtain more ideas/suggetions/details on how synchronization may be performed in a real world scenario ?
MS has been promoting smart clients and offline availability, but I cant seem to find any material that outlines some ideas/techniques/pointers as to how this may be acheived sans SQL Server replication
Essentially, what I'm looking for is someting that would guide a not-so-solid-with-databases person like me through how synchronization (sans sql replication engine) may be implemented - any watchouts etc..
Regards,
Avinash

Hi all,
Heres the deal -
I have several remote users - all running the same program, with a local copy of MSDE...
I would like to setup a master server at my office that will act as a repository for the data that is generated at the remote sites.
I would like the remote users to establish a connection with the server (tcp/ip) and upload all the data they have entered into the local database.
They do not need to download any data - this is accomplished through the web services of SQLXML -
they just need to upload all the data they have, without destroying the data from before.
I have some concerns on the auto-inc that is used in the tables now and how they will react to each other in the master database...
thanks for any help
take care
tony

Hi all, here are my goals: Have the same DB on two different stand-alone computers, and keep them up-to-date from each other.
Basically a user would input to a DB for a week. Then every week or two, update the other stand alone DB with the new input. The DB would be exactly the same.
What are my options for this? I'd like it as easy as possible! Are there any software packages that deal with this type of transfer, etc.? Thank you!

Hi all,
We are going to have several dozen servers around the country- each with a mirror copy of the initial database (blank) loaded upon them.
The data will be entered at each station, and then once a month, the systems will dial into the 'net and -
this is where i am getting stuck -
we would like the data from the remote areas to update the data in the master database -
What would be the best solution to update the data from the remote station into the master database???
thanks

we have a merg replication running in three regions UK,USA and AU
my question is in one of our test environment testers managed to get a few tables out of synch while the replication is out.
we have re-established the replication since then and it worked fine untill they try to update records from those out of synch tables. as usual we get conflicts.
we don't really know how many tables are out of synch either. we have about 500 tables.
is there a way to synch tables from with in the merge replication??

I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I have also downloaded the Sql Server Express toolkit from the Microsoft site in order to get access to the server's Reporting Services. The toolkit, according to Microsoft, should have included a cut-down version of the Business Intelligence Development Studio. The problem is that after downloding and installing I cant find Business Intelligence development Studio. The shortcut in the start menu brings me to Visual Studio 2005 and not to Business Intelligence Development Studio. Am I missing something?

Does Microsoft officially support installing SQL 2005 Express on a server where SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition is already running (a has to keep running).
In case they do, where do i find this official info / note.
Have they released white papers on this matter?
I know it is possible to install the two together and that they can coexist, but I am worried about how the two SQL installations wil behave when being updated with patches, security updates, service packs etc. do you run the possibility of them corrupting each other? Therefor it is vital to know if Microsoft supports the two running on the same system.

Hi, Simple question really - Can I use Crystal Reports v8.5 to attach to databases in SQL Server Express and generate reports? I have done a lot of searches in these forums and using Google and I believe it is possible but if someone could confirm this it would help a lot - I'm in the specification stage of a project and would like to use SQL Sever Express for it.
Thanks

Hi ... I am converting SqlServer 2000 databases to SqlServer 2005. It is working great for the most part.
The issue I am having is that a user with a schema that owns objects is established in the database and no user is defined in the instance logins. I can see where if I add the instance login then the Principal_id does not match. Cannot drop the user/schema as there are referenced objects.
I got around this in SqlServer 2000 by updating the IDs to match but now they are views and updating is not allowed.
Is there a straightforward way to resynch the database user to a newly created login?
Thanks,
John
