Is SQL Server CE Really The Solution?
Jan 11, 2007
Hi,
So far, with other programming platforms, I used to have the facility, embedded within application .exe, to:
1- Interface with already existing "multi-user" database (ex: Oracle, Access, etc.)
2- Create/access "local"/"Single-User" files for processing purposes. (try to minimize network trafic...)
So far, I've read a lot about SQL Server products (SQL Server, Sql Server Express, SQL Server CE), at least all articles I could find, and would like to have your opinion on what would be the best approach?
1- What SQL version to use for "multi-user" databases?
2- What SQL version to use for "single-user" databases/files?
3- Can SQL Express allow me to achieve both "multi-user" and "single-user" approaches within same app? If not, what would you rather suggest?
Thanks in advance,
Stéphane

VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!
-----------------------------------
The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
-----------------------------------
The above article is bogus and confusing.
This is rediculous!
This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!
Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time!
And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.
--------------------------
I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.
If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy.
I just simply could NOT get it to work.
You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question:
Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?
- NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO )
Then select the tables you want in the DataSet.
and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details
Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control
and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there.
Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes
and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets,
(a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database)
the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets.
YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM.
Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks,
Barry G. Sumpter

I am a Visual Studio .net developer and understand Solutions and Projects in VS.net. Nevertheless, it appears that the paradigm of using Solutions Explorer in SQL Server is not exactly the same. That is, in Visual Studio you can't get anything done without creating a solution first. In SQL Server, it is entirely possible to get a lot done without a solution and the ability to create and make use of a solution seems almost an after thought or an add-on.
I am particularly interested in using a solution in SQL Server to allow me to make use of SourceSafe. In the past, we jumped through all kinds of hoops to keep a running trail of changes we had made to (for example) stored procedures. It appears now that this can be managed more efficiently with the use of a Solution and SourceSafe and saving scripts or .sql files. I guess it is not possible to save a pristine copy of a stored procedure directly in SourceSafe, but you can save the code that makes up the stored procedure as a .SQL file which I suppose is about as good.
Anyway, what I would like to know is whether there is a good white paper (or chapter in a book) on the philosophy behind Solutions and projects in SQL Server and how MS intends us to use them; perhaps something other than the cold facts from the documentation. I would appreciate something more that gives me the big picture on just how MS sees them being used in SQL Server so I can get the most out of them. I have the feeling that if I "get the vision", they are meant to be an integral part of SQL Server now and in the future.

I upgraded my SQL 2005 Workgroup 2005 to SP2 and subsequently could not get the SQL Server service running. Turns out this was a problem because I had created separate folders for my data and log files. The distmdl.mdf and mssqlsystemresource.mdf files were in my data folder and distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf were in my log folder. During SP2 upgrade a new distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf were created in my data folder. I deleted the distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf files in my log folder and then moved the newly created ones in my data folder into the log folder and all is well now.
Just a heads up!

SQLSourceSafe 2.0 is the right version control solution for SQL Serverdatabase development projects. SQLSourceSafe 2.0 Integrates with bothSQL Server and Visual SourceSafe, providing an effective andeffortless version control management system for individuals andproject teams to manage database objects.By using SQLSourceSafe 2.0, you can manage SQL Server database objectssuch as tables, stored procedures, user defined functions, views,triggers, indexes/keys and constraints as you manage regular files andprojects in SourceSafe. SQLSourceSafe 2.0 enables your to archive andlabel database object changes in SourceSafe, so that you can comparedifferent versions, recover from an undesired write-over of objects,or roll back to a previous release. Advanced users can also useSQLSourceSafe 2.0 to find out the differences between SQL Serverdatabases or deploy the latest or any labeled version SQL Serverdatabase archived in SourceSafe to different computers.For more information, please visit: http://www.bestsofttool.com.

This is a problem that never get solved, sometime I can use other way to avoid it, but havn't found a solution yet, i hope I can get some more idea here.
I am using SQL 2005, when I run
select * into #import1
from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webjeff2.xls',
'select * from [jeff2$]')
I get
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
when I try to compile a SP with that statement in it, I get the same error, like
create stored procedure test
as begin
select * into #import1
from OpenRowSet('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0','Excel 8.0;hdr=yes;database=\ws8webjeff2.xls',
'select * from [jeff2$]')
end
so it seems the error may not relate to the real file, since at the compile stage, it should not check the real file?
On my live db, after I restart the SQL service, the statement will work, after a while, one or several days, I get the same error again. I can not restart my live db quite often for sure, so now I have another backup db server, I need run the statement on the backup server and then read the data from there.
I have the same problem at two places, both use SQL 2005.
So far there are three questions
1, why it works after restart, but only last for a while? something about memory? since the backup db seldom need restart and work fine after many days.
2, why it gives error in compile stage?
3, why two dbs in different Enviroment has the same problem
The most answer I have gathered so far is permission issue, true I got similar error if the import file is located in a place which SQL has no right to access. But in this case, it should not be.
Any other idea or suggestion?
thanks

Hi there,
I've seen some similar posts to this one, however none with an answer and I'm wondering if anyone has actually figured out what causes this issue. I'm running SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
I'm attempting to implement a folder structure for the report server, therefore am creating individual solutions in Visual Studio for each folder. At the top level i.e http://servername/reportserver/ I am able to deploy reports no problem.
However creating a folder at the next level in the tree and then deploying to that level such as http://servername/reportserver/ManagementReports causes a Reporting Services Login prompt to appear. No matter what user credentials I enter they are not accepted. I have full administrator rights the server, the site and the folders in question.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Matt

Using MS VS 2005 (incl SQL Server Mobile)
MS Pocket PC 2005 SDK
I am working on a project that builds for Pocket PC on both Mobile 2003 and Mobile 5. The project uses/will use SQL Server Mobile to store local data.
Project created from new with support for both platforms. I include required header files ssceerr30.h and ssceoledb30.h.
Project builds fine in WM2003 configuration, release and debug.
When I build for WM5 the compiler cannot find the header file transact.h. This is included from within ssceoledb30.h. Same as under WM2003.
In WM2003 configuration if I highlight the ssceoledb30.h include in Visual Studio and open the header, it takes me to <Visual Studio dir>SmartDevicesSDKSQL ServerMobilev3.0. I then locate the include for transact.h and do the same, which takes me <Visual Studio dir>SDKPocketPC2003include. The file exists.
If I repeat the above 'browsing' under the WM5 configuration, ssceoledb30.h takes me to a different copy in the WM5 SDK directory. There is no diff between the file here and the other copy used by WM2003. If I attempt to open transact.h - file does not exist.
Fix (which I'm not too sure about, i.e. is it OK?) - If I copy transact.h to the WM5 SDK directory, the project builds.
Why has transact.h disappeared from WM5 SDK?
I can find no ref's to this problem anywhere. Is my installation of the WM5 SDK corrupt? What else could I be missing?
Is there a sample for SQL Server mobile (like the NorthwindOLEDB sample) that comes configured to build for WM5?

Let say I have a table that is composed of 11 columns - one the Primary Key and the other are keys to rows in another table. Of these 10 column 2-10 are nullable. Can I get all the info in one SELECT? I can't use JOINS because columns 1-10 are keys to the same table. I am not very good at explaining these things but hopefully it makes sense.
Thanks

Hi folks, guidance required!
Clients have an MSDE installed and they need all of their data to be dowloaded for the first time from our website. 30 tables r involved.
Can i automate this? I suspect BCP allows only one table to be exported into a text file. Since it's the first time process i don't want to setup replication.
Howdy!

Hello All,
I have a transaction table that holds nearly a million records and my master with 60000 records,I want to fetch details based on two dates.
I use Union operator to query the info from a view,is this right or fetch the result into a temporary table and fetch the result from temporary table using the same Union operator.
Which is the better way to fetch details faster.

Hi, i am not sure if i can solve the problem with SSIS. I wanted do do it hardcoded with C# or so.
So, for my project I need to download zip-files on a daily-base. In these zip-files are xml-Files. And in these files is information stored for inserting or updating tables on a MS-SQL-Server.
So, my question, is it possible to solve that with SSIS? And if, is it easy to understand and to learn within a few days?
I haven't found good sources for information on how to get the data out of XML-Files.

Hi all,
I think i have a quite specific problem that we have to resolve with replication. however, i don't know which type of replication to use and how to configure it for this:
To simplify the case a bit:
We have one central server which has a table Sales(id, shopid, article).
Also our 50 shops have the same table Sales(id, shopid, article).
spec 1:
When a shop sells an article, the row of the Sales table at the local shop has to be replicated to the central server. This way, the central server its Sales table has all sold articles from all shops.
spec2:
But now we have also an internet shop. All e-orders arrive immediately in the table Sales at the Central Serve with a specific shopid where the article will arrive. Now i have to find a way to replicate the new rows from the Central Server to the specific Shop.... Remark: the other shops should not have rows of other shops.
which type of replication would i use the best and how?
Thanks !

I'm running VS 2005 Enterprise, and SQL Server 2005 Developer / workgroup edition.I'm trying to follow a few online examples to play around, and some of these examples require that you add a SQL DB to your solution by going:-right click on website-Add new Item-Add SQL DataBase.WHen I do that, I get the error that SQL Express isn't installed. Now the question is, why would I want SQL Express installed when I have SQL server 2005 already installed? My Machine can support it, but it's sort of a waste when I need to run SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005 and then SQL Server express all at the same time.Any advice?

Thought I'd got my head round using a set-based approach but my brain's gone dead on this one

The Columns where T values are 1 and 0 are OK having already been derived. I need to UPDATE the remaining rows from the Default T Value of 9999

'grouping' on SWID
The DateB value is irrelevant for this purpose

Hi there,
Looking for a bit of help with my problem:
Say i have 3 tables-
tblClients
clientID (primary key identity/autonumber)
clientName (varchar 50)
tblCities
cityID (primary key identity/autonumber)
cityName (varchar 50)
tblClientsCities
ID (primary key identity/autonumber)
clientID (int)
cityID(int)
A client can be located in more than 1 city so i have tblClientsCities (think thats the right way to do it). Say i add a new client and the autonumber changes to "10" which is that client's identifier. How do i then add that identifier to tblClientsCities? I mean it could have been 3,7,205 absolutley anything.
I thought is would be easier to make up a unique key for each client with a script eg
client name: PJ Computers
Unique key Generated: PJCOMP58784
Now that the primary key is known in advance it can be added to tblClients and then tblClientCities. But! i was reading around and many seem to think primary key's like this will slow things down.
So my question is what's the best way of accomplishing this?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks :)

Now what i want to do is this ...
UCOA is to be updated with the average of all previous transactions where the climstid and isin_id are the same.
example
take case where holdid(transaction no) in the sample data is 14.
What i need is a query which will sum up the data in the tran_value column upto holdid 5.
Again I need a set based solution. Gurus .. please help

SQL Gurus,
What is the best backup solution?
Product:MS SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition
Environment:webserver
Goal:Off-site backup of database without onsite tech intervention
Obstacles:
* Webhost does not want SQL Server Agent running for fear of viruses
* Database is 3.4GB, LDF is 3.7GB, and a Full Backup is 3.1GB.
Connection / Access:Enterprise Manager, RDP and FTP all work to access data and backups.
I have looked into doing a full backup then differential backups, doing transaction replication, and log shipping. The client doesn't really need replication, he just wants to know that if his server with the production database goes up in flames he has a way of getting back in business without losing more than one day of data.
I am hoping there is a method of "restoring" on his off-site server the data that is "backed up" on the production server. Is that possible if we're doing differential backups?
Is that the best solution or is there a better way?
Thanks for any recommendations or advice,
Alec Sherman

These two queries when executed seperately give results in under 10 secs A union between these two does not give results even after 20 minutes ... Any idea why this is happening SELECT T001W.NAME1, t25a5.bezek SKU, QTY = SUM(CASE MSEG.BWART WHEN '101' THEN MSEG.ERFMG WHEN '102' THEN (-1)*MSEG.ERFMG END), YPLNT.VKGRP FROM MARA ,MSEG, MKPF,YPLNT,T001W,t25a5 WHERE MSEG.MANDT = MKPF.MANDT AND MKPF.MANDT = MARA.MANDT and mkpf.mandt =yplnt.mandt and mkpf.mandt = t25a5.mandt AND MKPF.MBLNR = MSEG.MBLNR AND MARA.MATNR = MSEG.MATNR AND YPLNT.PPLNT= MSEG.WERKS AND MSEG.WERKS = T001W.WERKS and t25a5.ww004 = SUBSTRING(MARA.PRDHA, 10, 3) AND MARA.PRDHA <> '' AND MKPF.VGART IN ('WR','WF') AND MKPF.MJAHR=YEAR(@BUDAT1) AND MSEG.AUFNR IS NOT NULL AND MSEG.BWART IN ('101','102') GROUP BY t25a5.bezek,T001W.NAME1,YPLNT.VKGRP SELECT T001W.NAME1, t25a2.bezek SKU, QTY = SUM(CASE MSEG.BWART WHEN '101' THEN MSEG.ERFMG WHEN '102' THEN (-1)*MSEG.ERFMG END), YPLNT.VKGRP FROM MARA ,MSEG, MKPF,YPLNT,T001W,t25a2 WHERE MSEG.MANDT = MKPF.MANDT AND MKPF.MANDT = MARA.MANDT and mkpf.mandt =yplnt.mandt and mkpf.mandt = t25a2.mandt AND MKPF.MBLNR = MSEG.MBLNR AND MARA.MATNR = MSEG.MATNR AND YPLNT.PPLNT=MSEG.WERKS AND MSEG.WERKS = T001W.WERKS and t25a2.ww001 = SUBSTRING(MARA.PRDHA, 1, 3) AND MARA.PRDHA <> '' AND MKPF.MJAHR=YEAR(@BUDAT1) AND MKPF.VGART IN ('WR','WF') AND MSEG.AUFNR IS NOT NULL AND MSEG.BWART IN ('101','102') GROUP BY t25a2.bezek,T001W.NAME1,YPLNT.VKGRP

I am trying to return a result from a select statement where I want unique (distinct) records but i want to return other columns as well as the distinct column. for example
select distinct field1, field2 from mytable
I want unique records for field1 but for those records returned I also want their field2 value. It seems distinct is not the correct choice for this. I have a hard time imagining there is not a standard solution for this. Can anyone tell me? Thanks in advance!!!!
