I have a database on a sql server 2005, and I would like to migrate data from sql server 2005 to local Pocket PC. How can I create a database on local Pocket PC and how to migrate the data from sql server 2005 to local Pocket PC?

I attempted to use SSMA to migrate a 2000 file format .mdb into SQL Server Express (and, as I've just purchased VS2005 Pro, into SQL Server Developer Edition).
The file is actually a backend, so nothing to migrate other than tables.
After several runs during which I received (and fixed up) some errors, the process runs smoothly with no errors or warnings, until it comes to the last step; migrating the data itself.
Data migration into 'parent' tables works fine. However, wherever I have data in a table with a foreign key relationship to any of the aforementioned 'parent' tables, it refuses to migrate it. The text of the error message will be very smiliar to the following (from the log):
[Datamigrator: Error] [464/7] [2007-09-23 14:18:54]: Exception: The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "Branch$CompanyBranch". The conflict occurred in database "DPMTest", table "dbo.Company", column 'CompanyID'.
There is nothing wrong, so far as I can determine, with the relationships involved.
I can insert data into the tables using any of the following methods: 1. Directly in Access, in the source backend. 2. Using the original Access frontend application, attached to the source backend. 3. Using VB.Net forms I am developing, in the 'upsized' database. 4. Directly in the Management Studio, in the 'upsized' database.
None of these four methods complains in the least about the relationships which SSMA balks at.

We wanted to rebuild our main SQL server machine. How can we backup everything about the SQL server (such as all databases/objects and settings on security and users) and then recover them without any data loss? A related question is how to recover the server machine in case of system failure or whole machine crash down? Thanks!

I installed the 180 day trial version of SQL Server 2005 on my local machine and according to the instructions it was suppose to be very easy to connect the excel add in to SQL.

Hi Everybody, does anyone know how I can migrate SQL 2000 data to SQL 2005 database? I'm trying to create an application that will connect to SQL 2000 database using VS2003 and transfer data to SQL2005 database but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestion is greatly appriciated. devmetz.

Is it possible to get SQL Server Migration Assistant to read data from a Sybase view and store it in a SQL table. My problem is that I have a legacy sybase application that is being decomissioned and I have been asked to migrate the data into SQL Server. The problem I have is that:
The account I have been provided to connect to the Sybase database does not have select privileges on all the tablesI don't have the sa password for the Sybase database to alter the security. The vendor support contract has expired and it does not appear I have any way to get the sa password
The account I've been given has access to query data in several views even though it does not have access to the underlying tables that the view pulls data from. Since this is a legacy application whose data is now static, I wonder if it's possible to read the data from the Sybase views and dump it into SQL tables.
I need to script out data in several tables (30+) and then reload those tables on a different database. Â The "target" database table data will get overwritten each time, not appended to. Â Several of these tables have numerous foreign keys and other constraints that must be dealt with. Â None of them have more than 100 records or so. Â Then I need to keep this script in source control and reference it as part of a post-deployment step with a Visual Studio DB project.
I have redgate, dbghost and visual studio. Â Are there any tools will generate the script for me complete with dropping all the constraints, truncating the tables, then re-adding the constraints back? Â Or, am I looking at simply scripting the table data out, then modifying the script myself to add in the steps to drop/readd the constraints? Â Further, since some of these tables might have relationships, not just to other tables, but to those in question, there will likely be an order in which the tables need to get loaded.
The approach I am thinking will be needed, since ive done this sort of thing before except with SSIS, is to run something like dbghost or the "generate scripts" option in SSMS as a starting point. Â From there, change the order around as needed, etc. Â
Can anyone help me out in getting the information or execution progress of a package like "number of records migrated", "which component is getting executed at present",etc...when we migrate the datas using the package which we have created programmatically and trying to execute the package programatically.We can see these informations in the the "progress tab" when we execute the package using BIDS in SSIS.
I used "MDSModelDeploy deployclone" do deploy a package with EntityA, EntityB and EntityC to a production environment. I then deleted EntityB from my dev environment and used "MDSModelDeploy deployupdate" do update the model in prodution. After the deployUpdate, EntityB still exists in production. Is there something special I need to do (option of MDSModelDeploy?) in order for the deploy to delete an entity during a migration?
Help! I am using Script Transformation to output a new column as image[DT_IMAGE] field to store serialized object. In the VB script, the sample code as
The package always runs fine on my developing machine and will halt on other machine at AddBlobData after certain number row records were processed. I am stuck here. Anyone has any suggestion?
What I need is reading data from mutiple tables in one database and writing into a single table in another datable. In order preserve all the columns data, I use input column fields to construct a new object and then serialize it, and store the serialize data into detination db table. (The object and serialization function is coming from c# dll.)

Hello all, I have an application in which the database is currently in MySQL. The app is being re-written(in .net 3.5) and I would like to move the data to SQL Server 2005. What is the best may to get the data from MySQL to SQL Server. Any good tools out there? Idealy, I would be able to manipulate the data during the move, as I have plans for some schema changes, but I suppose I could always make them after migrating. Please suggest any tools or methods, with your thoughts. I will evaluate any suggested tools. Also, SSIS is available for me, is that the best way?
I have right clicked on my DTS package and selected Migrate... Iassumed this is a good idea for future upgradeability (?) The processworked without error but I have no idea where the resulting migratedpackage can be found. The DTS package itself (apparently) remainsunchanged.If your answer is that an SSIS package has been created, please tell meexactly where I can find it.I've looked at SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio (where do theyget these names from?) and have not been able to find SSIS (or anythingelse useful, actually).
When I try to import from Access, the DTS wizard only allows me toimport tables and queries. OK, I'm not surprised the "macros" andreports don't come over.But it executes each query, and created a _table_ to hold the results.The sensible thing would be that SELECT queries become viewsand the others become stored procedures. But I find no waycontrols I can select to do that.I have to manually create the views/procedures and paste in the SQL.And then I still have to translate it into standard SQL.--Wes GroleauBeware of the man who works hard to learn something, learnsit, and finds himself no wiser than before ...
