Hi,
I am using SQLCE and VS 2005 to create a database named "student.sdf" (inside my projects folder, of course). When click on the button, it will test for connection of database.
Everytimes I run the program, it will pop up an error message "The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [File name = .student.sdf]". How do I fix it?
Code Snippet
Imports System.Data.SqlServerCe
Public Class loginForm
Private _conn As SqlCeConnection
Private Sub ButtonLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonLogin.Click
_conn = New SqlCeConnection("Data Source =.student.sdf")
Try
_conn.Open()
MessageBox.Show("Correct")
Catch ex As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Hand, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
Finally
_conn.Close()
End Try
End Sub
End Class

There are any import/export utilities for SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition database? Which edition of SQL Server 2005 can do this?
Or we must use publication/subscription to transfer data to the mobile database?
Thank you for your help!

Hi:
When I try and connecto to SQL CE I always get an invalid operation exception. I"m afraid that I did not follow the proper install for Orcas Beta 2. I can't remember if I was supposed to uninstall SQL Mobile 2005 first or not.
All I know is when I try and use my SQL CE I can't connecto to a DB / sdf file ?
Any help would be appreciated I"m just starting to use SQL CE.
thanks

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

Trying to learn how to use Sql Server CE, Tutorial says to open server explorer, add connection, new connection, select data source as .net sql ce (words to that effect). On my visual studio, it ain't there and I can't figure out how to get it there. I have uninstall all of the Sql Ce stuff and reinstalled it. So I'm missing some key link. What are the magic incantations to get to first base?

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?

Should I be able to use a SQL Server Compact Edition sdf file as the data source for the SSIS Import and Export Wizard?
When I select the .net Framework Provider for compact Edition from the data source drop down, I get a message box with "An error occured which the SSIS Wizard was not prepared to handle. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib) Specified method is not supported. (System.Data.SqlServerCe)"
We have a user with a sdf file that will no longer sync, so we wanted to get her data from sdf file tables into SQL Server tables quickly and easily. Since the SSIS wizard wouldn't work with the sdf data source, we copied SQL Server Mgmt Studio query results into an Excel spreadsheet via the Clipboard, them imported those records with SSIS. But we need a repeatable process in case this happens in the future.
We tried to reinitialize her merge replication subscription with SQL Server Mgmt studio, and with C# code, but none of that would work.
How many MS data provider options are available for SQL Server compact edition? I see ".Net Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition" in the SSIS data source drop down, but shouldn't I also see an OLE-DB Provider for SQL Server Compact Edition?
This is all on my XP workstation where I can successfully write C# code for SQL Server Compact data access with Assembly = System.Data.SqlServerCe = C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPublicAssembliesSystem.Data.SqlServerCe.dll. So I think I have the proper tools installed.
Thanks.

I am confused about the version numbers for SQL Server Compact/Mobile. It _looks_ like the versions went from CE 2.0 to Mobile 2005 to CE 3.0 (or 3.1). Is this correct? In fact, I found one location the specifically said Compact Edition is the next version of Mobile. In another location I saw Compact Edition referred to as 2005 CE.
This has got me going because I am creating a Mobile/CE app and I keep getting a "Initialize SQL Server Reconciler" and the best information I can find indicates a mismatch between the server component and the client component.
So, what are the current versions of Mobile/CE? Is there a location that lists all of the components and what version they should be?
Thanks.

I can use crosstab query(intersection table) in sql server.
for example :
CREATE TABLE [Test] (
[id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[name] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CI_AS NULL ,
[subject] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CI_AS NULL ,
[Source] [numeric](18, 0) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'mike,N'math,60)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'tom',N'English',70)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'mike',N'france',80)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'jane',N'English',75)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'mary',N'france',57)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'tom',N'math',80)
INSERT INTO [test] ([name],[subject],[Source]) values (N'mike',N'Englist',100)
Go
--------
declare @sql varchar(8000)
set @sql = 'select name,'
select @sql = @sql + 'sum(case subject when ''+subject+''
then source else 0 end) as ''+subject+'','
from (select distinct subject from test) as a
select @sql = left(@sql,len(@sql)-1) + ' from test group by name'
exec(@sql)
But I cannot use it in sql server mobile editon.
HOw do I? thank you very much!!!

I can connect to SQL Server Compact Edition using SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I know it is installed and working.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have a program in VB.NET 2003 where I have query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM master..sysservers WHERE srvname = '" & strServerName & "'". This program copies data from .MDF file to another .MDF file. This query is written since I have created linked server.
Issue 1:
But now I to copy data from .SDF (SQL Server Mobile Edition) to desktop .MDF file. For this I cannot fire the above query on .SDF file. What is the other alternative?
Issue 2:
In the existing prgram that copies data from .MDF to .MDF, I have created linked server. Can I do the same with mobile edition?
Regards,
MI

Hi,
I am facing a wierd problem working with SQL Server Mobile edition database. The code works fine for some time and then it suddenly starts throwing "There is a file sharing violation. A different process might be using the file."
I am disposing and closing the connection after each operation.
Please find the function code below which is being used for any database operation.
SqlCeConnection sqlCon = null;
try
{
sqlCon = ConnectionFactory.getInstance().getPrimDsConnection();
sqlCon.Open();
readCmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand();
this.prepareStmtManyRows();
dataReader = this.readCmd.ExecuteReader();
IList result = this.populateManyRows();
return result;
}
catch (SqlCeException sqlEx)
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(
@"SqlCe Error in BaseReader.executeList() - ").Append(
sqlEx.Message).Append(':').Append(sqlEx.NativeError);
Log.getInstance().log(builder.ToString());
throw new DataAccessException(sqlEx);
}
finally
{
try
{
if( null != dataReader && ( !dataReader.IsClosed ))
{
dataReader.Close();
dataReader.Dispose();
}
if( null != readCmd) readCmd.Dispose();
if( null != sqlCon) sqlCon.Close();
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
}
}
I have also made sure that Query Analyzer is not running on my PDA.
I have been working on this since last one week but could not find a soultion.
Thanks,
A Islam

Hi forum readers,
we are working on a release 2.0 mobile solution right now. In our version 1.0 we did not have to worry about memory issues as our application was the only application running on our target devices (e.g. T-Mobile MDA Compact II Pocket PCs, WM2005).
Now we need to share the available memory with others. As our application relies on its SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition database we are wondering about memory usage of that server.
We know that a Pocket PC divides its memory into Storage and Program. If our application uses a 5 MB database and 1.5 MB for DLLs and it's exe-file. These files reside in the storage space when not loaded. When the application starts up it is loaded in the program memory. What happens to the 5 MB database file? Is is loaded into Program memory as well? Are only portions of that file loaded? Or is nothing loaded at all?
Does anyone have a deeper insight into that server an can answer my questions.
Best regards,
Tobias

After I installed the SQL Server Compact Edition, I start a new VS 2005 Basic project. When I try to create a new connection I do not see the Compact Edition in the list of data sources.
I have installed previously SQL Server CE, Everywhere, Mobile, 2005 Mobile but I uninstalled them all.
Can anyone give me an idea why I can't see the Compact Edition as a data source?
Thanks.

I am trying to import an Excel file into SQL Server 2005 using the SSIS import/export wizard; however, Microsoft Excel doesn't show up in the list of the data sources. I am assuming that something else must be install from either Microsoft Office or SQL Server 2005. I am using Microsoft Office 2003 on a Window XP machine. Does anyone know what I need to do to correct this.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me as this is a bit of a puzzle.
I have created a database using a password, the create table scripts are executed successfully using the connection string however when I try and use the same connection string to insert some data into the database an error is produced, with the following message 'The specified password does not match the database password'.
I have opened the database using the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and provide the password and I can access the database without a problem.
When the connection object is first instantiated all the Connection String property, the connStr variable and the modifiedConnStr are all correct (by this I mean that the data source and the password are present). However when the connection object is accessed again the Connection String property and the connStr variable are both set incorrectly (by this I mean that the password= section of the string is missing) however the modifiedConnStr is set correctly (by this I mean that the password= section is present in the string).
The connection object does not get set in between creating and accessing the connection object.
I have resorted to using no password, however I really need to be able to use a password.
Here is a copy of the connection string I am using (Copied directly from the quick watch window):
"Data Source = '\Program Files\Application\DataBase\MyDatabase.sdf'; password="Pa55word";"
I am sorry this a little long winded however I would like to provide as much information as possible. I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thank you for reading.

I am looking for a detailed tutorial that explains how to set-up merge replication services for a major project. I have seen all of the claims that SQL Mobile Server 2005 is able to connect to a merge publication with SQL Server 2000. However, where are the tutorials? I must have a proof of concept in a few days to quote this project. Can anybody help with this issue? Thanks!
