Having Problem Connecting To Sqlce DB On My Device..
Mar 10, 2008
I'm getting the following error when trying to connect to the sqlce database on my mobile device.
"Specified SQL server not found: (Program FilesDBA_test.sdf)"
The DB file exists in the directory specified and is in working order I was able to run a simple sql query against it (SELECT * FROM A_Test). So, I'm a little confused on how to correct this problem??? I'm assuming it's some type of mapping issue with the program and the DB but I'm not sure how to correct..
Code Snippet
Public Function DB_Dataset() As DataSet 'returns a dataset with query results
' Make the database connection.
Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(GetConnectionString())
'Open the connection
myConnection.Open()
'Open a set of records
Dim ad As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT [names] FROM testtable", myConnection)
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet()
'Close the connection
myConnection.Close()
End Function
Private Function GetConnectionString() As String
Return "Data Source=(" & apppath + "DBA_test.sdf);Database=A_test; Integrated Security=SSPI;"
End Function
Also since there's a DataSet that contains the connection information shouldn't I be able to access this directly instead of having to supply the connection information in a connect string?
Thanks.

I've created a simple application that uses a SQLCE 3.5 database. When I debug it SQLCE 3.5 is deployed to the emulator. However, I made a "smart device cab project" for my application and copied the cab file to my windows mobile 6 device and it does not deploy SQLCE 3.5. I don't see a way to specify the prerequisites of the "smart device cab project" like you can in a normal setup project. How can I get SQLCE 3.5 to deploy with my application...or even just get it on my device? I've tried installing it on my desktop with the device connected via active sync, but it doesn't install on the device like the compact framework did.

New to VS2005 and I've got a simple WM5 app that runs fine on the emulator, but when I do a deploy to the device and try to run it I get:
'System.Data.SqlServerCE, Version = 3.0.3600.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = 3BE235DF1C8D2AD3' or one of its dependencies, was not found.
I have added the *.sdf to the Deploy project and in the dependencies portion of the Deploy project it has the "System.Data.SqlServerCE.dll" listed.
Appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Thanks,
John.

I have an SDF using SQLCE 2.0. When I run the app on a Pocket PC device running Windows Mobile 5.0 I get 0x80004005 and 0x80040e21 errors. The same app executes fine on PPC 2003.
The app is written in VC++ using and uses the SQLCE OLEDB Provider to access the SDF. It is complied with eVC 4.0
Any idea as to the problem?

I have set up a locahost site in IIS using the "Configure Web Synchronization Wizard". One of the first test I was asked to do was to open a broweser and browse to http://localhost/MobileTest/sqlcesa30.dll
If all is well I should get a web page with the following line:
SQL Server Mobile Server Agent 3.0
But unfortunately I get an error stating :
"The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance."
I checekd the Event log and found this error related the IIS launch process on my machine.
DCOM got error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. " and was unable to logon .IWAM_Rataq in order to run the server:
where Rataq is the name of my machine. Could my IWAM_Rataq account be corrupted, my other sites on the machine work.
Infact if i put in a Test.htm page in the virtual directory MobileTest I am able to browse to the page.
Can the Account be re-set? is there another problem that I am not aware of. I have Norton Internet 2006 running could that be the reason? Could Norton be blocking the dll from loading? But the event log states it is a Account error.
Any ideas why this might occur? any help is always appreciated

I am currently upgrading our ppc app (written in .net 2003) to .net 2005 and from sqlce 2.0 to 3.0. The new application runs out memory(storage) when handling lots of data transactions (both in case of using sqlcedatareader, and dataset ). There is no memory leak issue here, sqlce 3.0 simply uses a lot more (3 times more) memory than sqlce 2.0.
Our applicaton runs fine using sqlce 2.0 and .net 2003, but fail due to memory shortage
with the upgrades(which has the same code). Anyone can shed some lights on this issue?

I have a database in development in SQL Server 6.5 that needs to be occasionally deleted and rebuilt from a script when table structures are changed. I found that when very complex queries were performed, the 2 MB default size of tempdb filled up and returned errors, so I went to the Enterprise Manager to expand tempdb, learned that I had to first expand a device to expand tempdb into, and foolishly chose to expand tempdb into the same device space used by my application, instead of into one of the system databases. Now when I try to delete the device in preparation for its rebuild, the Enterprise Manager responds with an error message saying the device can't be deleted because it contains system tables. Is there any way to get the expanded portion of tempdb out of my application device so that the device can be deleted, without reinstalling SQL Server?

Does anyone have any instructions on how to go about uprading a .sdf file
from sqlce 2.0 to sqlce 3.0?
I found this on an msdn website
(link: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/sqlmobile/upgrading.mspx) but
as you can see its very lacking on detail. (I included the link and content
referring to upgrading the database files so you won't have to go to the link
to see the part referring to upgrading the database.) I tried to run the upgrade.exe on my device but it doesn't explain how you're supposed to point it to the .sdf that you are trying to update. Here is the content on the above web page.
Upgrading Database Files
You can upgrade a database created with an earlier version of SQL Server CE
2.0 to a database created with SQL Server Mobile by using the SQL Server
Mobile Database Upgrade tool (upgrade.exe). The Database Upgrade tool runs on
a smart device.
When you run the SQL Server Mobile Database Upgrade tool, the new SQL Server
Mobile database is created on the smart device. The new database, with the
file name extension .sdf, contains all the data that was in the source
database. You need to reinitialize the upgraded database to continue using it
for replication.
Note: If you are using replication or remote data access (RDA) as a
connectivity solution before upgrading to SQL Server Mobile, you must
synchronize the source SQL Server CE database (subscription database) with
the SQL Server database (Publisher). The reason for synchronizing before
upgrading to SQL Server Mobile is to ensure that any changes that exist in
the tables on the SQL Server CE database are updated on the SQL Server
database, because after the upgrade you must resubscribe or repull using the
new database.

Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

My app is working on my local system with the vs2008 development server. It's an asp.net app and I added the line:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("SQLServerCompactEditionUnderWebHosting", true);
So it works fine on my system. But I can't get it to work on shared hosting. I have uploaded all the sqlce 3.5 dlls to the bin directory. I am stuck at the error:
Access to the database file is not allowed. [ File name = ]
There actually is a file name in the connection string, and I set the permissions wide open on App_Data to test this.
What are the .net framework requirements for sqlce 3.5? I can't find this info anywhere.
I know sqlce 3.5 is not recommended for asp.net, but it is not the main site database but is used for a setup database utility to be installed for a windows app.

Hi,
We have over 1000 terminals running CE 4.2 on an x86 cpu currently using SQLCE 3.1.
We have just upgraded to VS 2008 and found the projects have been upgraded to reference SQL CE 3.5 - this is great, as we wish to use things like TOP etc.
However, all the distributable packages only include CAB files for CE 4.2 for the ARM Processor, or CE 5.0 for the x86. Is there a CAB package available for CE 4.2 for the x86 CPU? (please...)
Even just the relevant .DLL files would be fine as we repackage them ourselves anyway.
Thanks.

In my homegrown data layer, I added the ability to do Order By Clauses.
I do one query with an Order By clause (all 6 records in the table retrieved).
Then I do a 2nd query without an Order By (36 of around 200 records in the table retrieved)
And I'm getting Native Exceptions.
ExceptionCode: 0xc00000000c (Null Pointer I believe)
ExceptionAddresss: 0x00c3703c (looks to be in sqlcese30.dll)
Reading: 0x00000005
I ran thru with the debugger, and am finding the error happening inside of a SQLDataReader.Read() call. It's trying to read the 14th of the 36 records that the query has found.
I am all but positive I'm not closing this database connection. The problem is happening while I'm looping off the reader data I just retrieved and in this query there was no ORDER BY clause.
I'm at a loss as to what to do about this. I'm not explicitly closing any database connections, and I'm getting the data right after performing the query.

Greetings,
I wrote a very simple C# console application which was designed to give us a rough idea on the performance and reliability of SQLCE (the source code without metrics has been posted to this group recently). What I've found is that there are major performance and reliability issues with SQLCE 3.0 as opposed to SQLCE 2.0. Whereas SQLCE 2.0 seems to be fairly consistent in terms of it's memory usage and the amount of time taken to insert rows into the table regardless of the size of the table (to a limit, after about 300,000 records it too has major performance issues), SQLCE 3.0 seems to slow down noticably and continually use more memory even after a few thousand records are inserted and actually crashes (consistently) after 25592 records are inserted!
What gives? Based on this it would seem that SQLCE 2.0 is far preferable for an unattended device that needs an uptime of over 30 days whilst constantly (several times per minute) inserting into the database.
Thanks for your thoughts on this...

I'm using SQL'05, VS'08 SQLCE 3.5 building VB.NET applications.
I'm using LocalDataCache to sync SQLCE and SQL'05
When I write a new record to SQLCE the corresoponding record in SQL'05 shows both LastEditDate and CreationDate values.
When I update the recored in SQLCE the LastEditDate gets updated, but CreationDate gets set to NULL.
Ideas?

I'm still having trouble deploying my Compact Edition application. The installation on other computers works, but if the program tries to start, i get the error message (translated from german):
"This Version of SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition is not licencensed for productive use"
I always thought that there are no licence restriction with SQL Compact Edition.
Strangely the the programm works on some computers... as I think on all computers where Visual Studio is installed.
does that makes any sense to one of you?
thanks for any help,

Problem encountered:
Error Code: -2147467259
Message: A call to SQL Server Reconciler failed. [,,,,,]
Minor Err. 29006
Source: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition
Any idea what could be the possible problem?
I have been trying to search thru the internet for a resolution but most of the guides are very brief about the configuration of the merge replication in mssql2000 server.
e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/09/DataPoints/default.aspx
This link above its recommended by Microsoft, but still doesn't really helps.
Does anybody have a step-by-step guide on configuring the merge replication in mssql? With diagrams preferred.
-OR-
Is there anything wrong with these codes:
oRpl.Publisher = "HANBIN"; // HANBIN is my database server name
oRpl.PublisherLogin = "LHP";
oRpl.PublisherPassword = "<password>";
oRpl.InternetUrl = "http://hanbin/ssce/sscesa20.dll";
oRpl.InternetLogin = "IUSR_HANBIN";
oRpl.InternetPassword = ""; // do i need to put sth here?
oRpl.Subscriber = "CESubscriberTest"; // Any names will do?
oRpl.Publication = "testdbpub";
oRpl.PublisherDatabase = "testdb";
oRpl.Distributor = "HANBIN";
oRpl.DistributorLogin = "sa";
oRpl.DistributorPassword = "<password>";
Any help from any genious will greatly be appreciated.
Regards,
Hanbin

Hi,
Can I use SqlCe v3.1 and SqlClient v2.0 in one .net application? (Note: I can't use RDA or replication. SqlClient read and write data in ON-LINE mode, SqlCe store and manipulate with data in OFF-LINE mode.)

MSDN has examples of deploying SQLCE privately for C# and VB.NET, but that doesn't seem to translate to C++. A .NET application just loads the assembly it needs from the local directory, but from what I can tell I need to use the OLE DB driver to use SQL CE in C++. The problem is that the OLE DB driver is a COM object that (presumably) needs to be registered.
Has anyone successfully used SQLCE from C++ without registering any COM objects? I'm thinking the only way to do that would be to call DllGetObject() on the DLL and get the object manually, but I've never done this so I'd hate to waste the time if there's an easier way, or if this won't work.

In the readme of v3.5, it mentions that if I use 3.5 to open a database file created by previous version, the version number will be updated to 3.5, so I opened it in c# and run some select statement, then I run the verify() command and here's what's returned:
Source : d:Dataceguardian.sdf
Destination : n/a
Verifying - verMajor: 3, verMinor: 0, verBuild: 5300, verPoint: 0
Time - 2007-21-05 14:42:39.847
it seems the database file did not get updated to v3.5. Unless it's returning original info.
Then, I take this same database file and try to access from another project with v3.5 runtime + Enterprise Library, and it generates this error:
An exception of type 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException' occurred in guardian.exe but was not handled in user code
Additional information: You are trying to access an older version of a SQL Server Compact Edition database. If this is a SQL Server CE 1.0 or 2.0 database, run upgrade.exe. If this is a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.0 or later database, run Compact / Repair. [ Db version = 3505053,Requested version = 3004180,File name = D:Dataceguardian.sdf ]
I am confused. Shouldn't 3.5 opens it up regardless of what version it is?

I am trying to soak in all this information regarding SQLCE and was hoping someone could set me off in the right direction.
Scenario:
I have an Windows Mobile 5.0 data collection application that I need to sync with a desktop database. I will need the ability to sync 1 or more Pocket PC's with a desktop database.
Questions:
1.) Assuming I need to sync the data, is using a SQLCE database on the device AND the desktop a viable solution?
2.) If not, would my only other option be to use SQL Server Express (SQL Server is not an option, $$$)?
3.) Keeping simplicity in mind, what would be my best choice of syncing technology? RDA? Merge Replication? Microsoft Synchronization Services for ADO.NET?
Generally speaking, I want to know if YOU were starting from scratch, what combination of technologies would you use?
Thanks!!!
Mike
