Language Setting On Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition
Oct 18, 2007
Hi!
I have a problem changing the language setting to swedish on sql server 2005 compact edition. The thing is that I'm using a language dependent format: '1998-02-28 14:23:05' (Numeric) when saving and I rather don't want to change this format, because it's a lot of work. (The default setting on the database seems to be us-english, which has the format month-day-year and there by gets wrong for me).
As I understand, this is detemined by the language settings on login. So I set this by using the 'locale identifier' (sv-SE) in the connection string to the CE database, but when I try to save the data, the datum is still interpreted as us-english format.
(The application I'm running have been upgraded from sql compacte edition 2.0 where this worked just fine, though without specifing any language settings in the connection string.)
Appreciate any help!

I have:
A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.
The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".
Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.
I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.
If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Björn

Hello,
we've got a SQL Server 2005 which replicates with an SQL Server Compact 3.5. Every 10 to 20 synchronisations we're getting the error mentioned above. A Soft reset of the device helps to make the synchronization working again.
Why is this error happening and how can we resolve this?
BTW, we've also running system that replicates with an SQL Server Compact 3.0 without having this problems.
Thanks,
Markus

Hello, How are you?
I have a problem when I try to create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. When I€™m going to choose the data source, the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition provider doesn€™t appear in the list. I installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=%2085E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en. In the additional information says by installing SQLServerCE31-EN.msi installs the provider (System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll) in the GAC (global assembly cache) and registers the OLEDB provider (sqlceoledb30.dll). So, I don€™t understand why couldn€™t I create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE?
I appreciate your help€¦

Hi All ...I
have been following the MS on-line tutorials to get replication setup
between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition. I get to the
point where I run the Configure Web Synchronization and it is running
through the process where it is doing the automated configuration of
the shared directory - assigning users etc.I have attempted
this step with a user account that I expressly created for snapshots
and with the Administrator account and get the following error message:* The operation completed successfully. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070000)At
first, I thought this was a rights issue due to the fact that I was
using an account that I manually created. However, by using the
Administrator account (test only until I can figure this out) that
should have removed any rights issues associated with accessing the
shared directory where the snapshot will reside.Any help in getting this figured out will be greatly appreciated.David L. Collison Any day above ground is a good day!

Hi,
Having read a lot about SQL Server 2005 CE, I decided, after seing that it was finally available, to start its installation.
1- I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=85E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en
2- Also I downloaded and installed SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition books online from following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E6BC81E8-175B-46EA-86A0-C9DACAA84C85&displaylang=en
==> Is there anything else missing if I intend to use it for development with Visual Studio 2005 (VC++)?
==> What is "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Developer SDK" compared to the one "SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition" I installed? Should I install it?
ref: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E9AA3F8D-363D-49F3-AE89-64E1D149E09B&displaylang=en)
3- There is also a link, which btw doesn't work at all, that should allow me to download following item:
"Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Tools of VS 2005 sp1"
==> Not being able to have any infos about it, what is the use of it? Should I install it in my environment? If so, any working link where I can download it from?
4- I finally noted, while browsing through SQL Server 2005 CE books online, the following note:
The following programming models are supported by SQL Server Compact Edition:
ADO .NET, accessible by using C# or Microsoft Visual Basic
OLE DB, accessible by using Visual C++ option from within Visual Studio 2005
==> How come that CE is not accessible using ADO.NET model when using VC++?
Thanks in advance,
Stéphane

I have a PDA application that manage a database.
My application uses Sql server 2005 Mobile edition and I want to change to

I have an application that automatically upgrade new version of my software at users (customers sites) It is shipped on a memrory card (SD Card).
I want in my upgrade tool to install Sql server 2005 Compact edition so I do it by running the two cab files :
sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB and sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
It works ok but I want also to uninstall Sql server 2005 Mobile edition and I do not find out how to do it automatically, First I do not know how to find out if Sql server 2005 Mobile edition is installd and if so how to uninstall it.
I want to do it all automatcally in my upgrade utility because my customers do not know to do it manually by theself.
Second I want to know if I have to use the Sql server 2005 Compact edition Uprade tool to upgrade my clients old databases because the now application works ok without Upgrading the database.
Thanks

Hello,
I want to learn if it is possible to develop applications for SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition using .NET Compact version 1.0. The major doubt is the possibility for version 1.0. It is reasonable to deliver SQL Compact Edition redistributables with an application, but this is not great to require ,NET 2.0.
Many thanks.

Hello
I'm trying to use application designed for 32bit operating system on 64bit (Longhorn beta 2). This application requires SQL Server CE 2005, I installed it (x32) but the application still says that it isn't.
What can be the problem? I suggest the application cannot retrieve information about SQL Server CE installation. But maybe the reason is I need to install something like SQL Server CE for 64bit operating system? Is it present "in native"?

We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.

Hello,
I have a computer thats running XP 64 bit version. I want to replicate between SQL server 2005 and SQL server 2005 compact edition. But it doesn't works. So i looked for a solution and i came to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912430
This page is telling me:
You cannot replicate data from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Compact Edition by using the 64-bit version of IIS
Is that a problem that can be solved by not using a other Operating System?
Or can you maybe install a 32-bit IIS on XP 64 bit?

Hello
I have a SQL Server 2005 (build 9.0.3050) database with tables belonging to
different schemas. I am in the process of developing a Windows Mobile 5.0
application that will work against this database, and I€™m planning to use
Remote Data Access with SQL Server 2005 CE to synch data.
I have my RDA all set up and working correctly IIS-wise, and have no problem
pulling a table from my database. However, when I attempt to push a modified
table back to the database, I get an €˜Internal error: Failure setting up
bindings, possibly caused by insufficient permissions.€™ error (which equates
to error 28621: SSCE_M_BINDINGS), which according to
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172898.aspx is an internal error
which €œcannot be resolved by common troubleshooting techniques€?. The
€˜insufficient permissions€™ is a red herring I think, since the problem
persists even if the SQL Server login that is being used for RDA is in the
sysadmin role.
I€™ve attempted to identify the problem by starting from scratch with a new
database and a new table with a couple of test columns. With the table
freshly created as dbo.TableName RDA works fine. However, when I create a
schema and transfer the table to the schema, RDA push fails as above, so to
me it looks like the schema is causing the problem.
Anyone any ideas about this? All help greatly appreciated!
Thanks - Graham

OK I think I am missing something here. I have installed the newly released SQL Compact Edition, Server Tools, and Tools for VS SP1. According to the documentation you can do the following to create a SQL Compact Edition DB:
Creating a SQL Server Compact Edition database on the server
In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer.
In Object Explorer, click Connect, and then choose SQL Server Compact Edition.
In the Connect to Server dialog box, select <New Database€¦> from the Database file drop-down list.
In the Create New SQL Server Compact Edition Database dialog box, type a file path and file name for the new database file. You can optionally select the default sort order and choose whether you want to encrypt or password-protect the database. If you choose to encrypt or password-protect the database, type a password, and then click OK.
Click Connect to connect to the new SQL Server Compact Edition database. The database is now displayed in Object Explorer.
I see no reference to or any option to create or connect to a SQL Server Compact Edition database in SQL Mgmt Studio. I had SQL 2005 Mobile installed previously and this still shows as an option. What I am missing here? Is SQL Mobile now SQL Compact Editon?
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Hello dear all.
I am using a Compact Framework 2.0 on a mobile 5.0 with a local Microsoft SQL Compact Edition 2005 database. The backend database is a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and I am trying to pull a 45000 rows table (the table has 2 varchars(8) forming a primary key and an INTEGER column).
The statement I issue is the following:
rda.Pull(table.TableName, table.TableQuery, Program.RdaOleDbConnectionString, RdaTrackOption.TrackingOnWithIndexes, table.TableName + "Errors");
The application works perfectly when I am pulling smaller tables (up to 15000 rows) but when I try to pull this one I get the following error details:
sqlCeEx
{""}
base {System.SystemException}: {""}
Errors: {System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeErrorCollection}
errors: {System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeErrorCollection}
HResult: -2147024882
Message: ""
NativeError: 0
Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition"
Please have in mind that the handheld on which I deploy does not have an extra storage card.
I have done a thorough internet search and I have found no solution to this problem. I truly rely on you to find the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Steliosvcy.

I€™m getting a datetime format problem(mm-dd-yyyy for dd-MM-yyyy), when I install SQL Server 2005 Express. {The exception is: The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.}
My windows Regional and Language options €“ English (United Kingdom), Sort date format is dd-MM-yyyy.
When converting the date time in Sql server is using the mm-dd-yyyy format. But I€™m supplying the dd-mm-yyyy format date time.
I tried number of things none of them worked for me
1. Tried changing the default language and get the date time format
- exec sp_configure 'default language', 2057
reconfigure
- did not work
EXEC sp_defaultlanguage 'my user name', 'British'
- did not work
(Ref: http://www.cactushop.com/support/UKUS-date-format-issues-with-MS-SQL---conversion-errors-or-blank-pages__592__.htm)
2. Tried a registry hack by opening regedit, and get the following 3 language keys and change it to decimal 2057:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetupCurrentVersion]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsSetup
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup]
(Ref: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=62891)
- did not work
3. Every thing in the Regional and Language options to UK and British with the date time format input language keyboard and every think else I could think of, which could link to US English or US date format --------- Did not work
4. even went into the extend of modifying the date format on a Windows machine for new users account by editing the HKEY_USERS registry key and creating a new user - Did not work
(Ref: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/39407/39407.html )
5. Uninstall and reinstall SQL server express several time and did the steps 1 €“ 4 where applicable €“ did not work€¦.
If anyone has any idea of what I have to do to change the date time format in the SQL Server 2005 to use the dd-mm-yyyy format for dates....
Please help me or point me in the direction in which I have to look for an answer.
Thank you very much€¦.

2. I want my SQL Express server in SQL Server 2005 to be a distributor and publisher

ABout 2. I tried to setup my server to be a distrubutor by running a stored procedure with the following name: sp_adddistributor. I get the following error: This edition of SQL Server cannot act as a Publisher or Distributor for replication.

I'm building my app in the full blown MS SQL 2005 Standard Edition as our new app will have a enterprise version using SQL 2005 and a desktop version using either SQL Compact Edition 2005, VistaDB3, or maybe even (uggh) SQL Express 2005. I would prefer SQL Express 2005 but the install size of my app + DB would kill sales.
Back to my question. I'm building out the schema in the full SQL 2005, how do I take this schema and get the schema applied to a SQL Compact Edition DB?
Does SQL Compact Edition support DDL?
Thanks.

I posted a more detailed technical question a couple of weeks ago
with Subject = "Compact Edition 2005 Subscribers - Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based cleanup has deleted metadata"
But I got no replies.
Now my question is simpler: Is SQL Server 2005 Merge Replication reliable with Compact Edition subscribers on WindowsXP tablets?
We deleted all users' local databases a couple of weeks ago, and republished two publications with retention = 60 days.
Now we have at least one user who can't sync with the server, and replication monitor shows the error below.
But if she e-mails her sdf file to a support person, they can successfully sync her database.
We're sure that it's not a permissions issue, which is a normal suspicion when one user can perform a task that another can not.
It doesn't seem like a retention problem, because she's well inside the retention period.
She can successfully sync with the publication with upload/download tablers, but not with the publication with download only tables. Both publications were created on the same day, by the same DBA, with nearly identical properties.
This problem user has operated in the past with no problem, and she's configured identically to all of the others. It just seems like random flakyness with merge replication for Compact Edition subscribers.
I feel stupid saying that, because it sounds like I believe in a magical ghost in the machine. So my question is - IS MERGE REPLICATION A LITTLE BIT FLAKY FOR COMPACT EDITION SUBSCRIBERS ON XP MACHINES?
We've applied SP2 to the server, but no subsequent HotFixes.
We're trying to sell users and management on developing a larger occasionally connected system with the same replication scheme, so we need to know if it deserves our confidence.
Error messages:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Publisher for changes not yet sent to the Subscriber. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload). (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199402)

I am not sure if this should go here it is a bit of a mixed bag, sorry if it's in the wrong spot.
I am interested to know what ideas people might have in relation to the best way to structure/setup up an app that can connect to either an SQL Server Express DB or a Compact 3.5 DB. I have a small app that can be networked but a lot of people wont want a networkable version so I dont want them downloading an app that is 4mb but requires a 35mb SQL Express install just to get it to attach to what amounts to a local DB.
Both the System.Data.SQLClient and System.Data.sqlce namespaces include classes that share at least some (I haven't checked them all) classes that inherit from the same base class i.e. SQLConnection and SQLCeConnection both inherit DBConnection from System.Data.Common. so I am wondering if there is a tricky way that I can reduce my overall code overhead (mainly things like if statements to check which DB connection we want) by up casting both connections and managing them as DBConnections but at this stage I cant come up with one.
An in important point with this is that I intend to write SQL statements that are compatable with both SQL Express and SQL Compact, my DV structure is sufficiently simple enough that I can put up with the odd "wordy" SQL statement in favour of trying to use stored procedures and views in Express and then not being able to use them in Compact.
Cheers
Rob

Hi!
It is possibile to install SQL Server Compact Edition side-by-side on the same machine where SQL Server 2005 is already installed?
Thanks, Marco.

I am writing an application that is designed for the desktop, or small group (3 or less) desktops. The application is being deployed using the Cassini web server as a complete "embedded" solution. I wanted to use SQL Server Compact because of its small footprint and because of the synchronization capabilities with SQLServer. Also, it is very easy to deploy vs. SQL Server Express. The idea behind this APP is that someone might use it locally and then decide to subscribe to the service and then connect the same application to a web services application.
That being said, and with knowledge of Microsoft's stance on SQL Compact under ASP.NET, I have most everything working and it works great except for one thing. When I add a SQLDataSource to the page and set the connection string to my file and the DataProvider to System.Data.SqlServerCe and then bind a data grid to the SQLDataSource, it runs fine on my development machine, but when I deploy to my clean test machine, I get an error when the page loads saying:
Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.
I can create a dataset in code (in fact,in several other places I do) and it works fine. It is just the SQLDataSource(s) that are throwing this error. I have a copy of System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll in the bin folder and I have all of the compact DLL's in the bin folder as well. I can't figure out what I need to do. I also have a reference to the System.Data.SqlServerCe in the web.config file.
Can anyone help?
