Mobile Sdf File Created On Server
Aug 15, 2007
Hi there,
Background: I've created an application to run on windows mobile 5.0 devices. It replicates to a publication on a server. To do this it goes through ASP.net. This creates the database on the Mobile Devices.
Issue: Problem is the initial download of the database is taking 2hours plus to replicate (create) for the first time. So I'm trying to create the .sdf file on the server, zip it, and send it across to the handheld. All subsequent replications take about 5 minutes.
Question: Does anyone know how, or have examples for creating a Mobile CE database on the server. I need to create it using ASP.net and go through a pre-existing publication where a hostname used for filtering.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173009.aspx explains how to create this in SQL Server Management Stuidio. How do you do the same thing over ASP?
Can this be done using SMO? How do you create a SQLServerCompactEdition database using normal .NET Framework? Thanks for your help!!

Hi allI have a question concerning sql database mdf files. In the old days I would user a ms access database. This file would be stored with the actual web files and would utilise a dsn connection. I have noted when designing with vwd 2005 express it allows you to use 2 methods of creating a mdf database. You can either create it as an attachment mdf or you can create it directly using sql manager. My question is, if you create the mdf database as an attachement file can you store it in the same manner as if you where using a ms access database, meaning can you store it with the web site's files so it uses the file storage allocated size and then create a connection similar to a dsn (but for sql) to the isp's sql engine or does it have to be uploaded to the isp' s sql server.The reason for this question is some of my customers do not want to pay the extra cost to have an sql allocation, however I do not want to go back to using old asp methods to create advanced sites as I prefer using stored procedures. Any help will be appreciated

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

SQL Server Compact 3.5 - I've a sdf file created in a .NET windows desktop command line program. How to now consume the data in MS Excel?
I can see that under
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.5
I've one DLL called
sqlceoledb35.dll
But I don't have any oledb driver listed when creating an UDL file?
How can I consume the data in other apps that are not .NET and developed in house them?

I have a package in which there are only one Data flow Task and it has only three components. 1) Source , which is a SQL db 2) destination and 3) OLE DB Destination flat file Error output file. I want the error file to be created ONLY if there is any error while dumping the data into destination DB. But , the issue is, the error flat file is being created inspite of No error while dumping the data from Source to Destination.

Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
@[User::Output_Path] + "Comms_File"+ @[User:: FileNumber] +"_" + replace((DT_WSTR, 10) (DT_DBDATE) GETDATE(),"-","")+ ".txt"
All this successfully creates these 4 files:
Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt, Comms_File_3_20150724.txt, Comms_File_4_20150724.txt
Now the QUESTION is how do I get these filenames as I need to insert them into a DB Audittable. The audit table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MMMAudit
(
AuditID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
PackageName VARCHAR(100) NULL,
FileName VARCHAR(100) NULL,
LoadTime DATETIME NULL,
NumberofRecords INT NULL
)
To save the Filename & how many records in each file in our Audit Table, am using an Execute SQL Task and configuring it as this:
Execute SQL Task
Parameter mapping - Mapped the User Variable (RecordsInserted) and System Variable( PackageName) to Insert statement as shown below
SQLStatement: INSERT INTO [dbo].[MMMAudit] (
PackageName,NumerofRecords,LoadTime)
(?,?.GETDATE)
Again this all works terrific & populates the dbo.MMMAudit table as shown below BUT I also need to insert the respsctive file name – How do I do that?
AuditID PackageName FileName NumberOfRecords
1 MMM NULL 12
2 MMM NULL 23
3 MMM NULL 14
4 MMM NULL 1

Dear ppl,
I am writing an application for a device (MDA Pro T-Mobile) having Windows Mobile 5.0 using
-MS .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP-1
-SQL Mobile 2005.
-VS 2005 .NET
The application uses Merge Replication. The error occurs in the Synchronise() Method of the SqlCeReplication object.
"SQL Server Mobile encountered problems when opening the database."
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase);
repl.Synchronize();
I don't understand why I am having this error. It does create the database on AddSubscription() method but it is failing opening the database on Synchronise(). I have also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling all the SQL Mobile components in the following order.
-sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.cab
-sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.cab
-sqlce30.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.cab
However, when i run this application on a device(Dell X50 AXIM) with Pocket PC 2003, it runs fine creating the database and sysnchronising it.
The target platform for the project is Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK.
Does any one have any clue what could be the problem ?
Regards
Nabeel

Hello,
I am developping a non-managed C++ application for PocketPC using a SQL Server mobile database.
The application is compiled for PocketPC 2003 and uses SQL Server Mobile v2. I use Visual Studio 2005. But I need to compile the application for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. So I installed the WM5 SDK and had the WM5 into my project configuration.
The "ssceoledb.h" which I include incluses the "transact.h" file. But my problem is that this file is only provided with the PocketPC 2003 SDK and not in the WM5 SDK.
So I cannot use the WM5 configuration project with SQL Server. I also tried with the last SQL Server Mobile 2005 (ie v3.0) and the "ssceoledb30.h" also includes "transact.h".
Did I miss something to install ?
Do you know how I can resolve the problem ?
By advance, thank you for any answer.

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?

Hi folks, I'm new to Windows Mobile progamming, and new to this forum. Apologies in advance if I'm asking a boneheaded question, but I've done searches and can't find anything directly applicable to my problem.
I'm currently walking through the published MS tutorial in setting up an SQL Server 2005 Mobile application that subscribes to a publication on SQL Server 2005 to exchange information.
I've gotten almost all the way through... successfully set up the server components, creating the publication, etc. On the mobile side, I've been able run the cab files to install the SQL Mobile components and to create the project, add the reference to the dll, and instantiate an engine object. It compiles.
The step in the tutorial after that, though, where you specify the data source from the "data" menu, I've got a problem. When I try to use the "new connection" dialog from choosing the data connection, "MS SQL Server Mobile Edition" doesn't show up as a choice. I've tried choosing any of the other combinations, and in teh subsequent "Connection properties" section my database, SQLMobile (as in their sample) is available, but I get an error when I choose it and click OK. Clicking on "Test Connection" gives me a connection successful message.
My guess is that something about the Mobile server side components is not installed correctly on my development machine, but honestly I have no idea how to begin to fix it. Has anyone seen this problem before and know how to resolve it?
Your time and any knowledge sharing is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
-Dana

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

I used SQl Server replication to create a new database (as I did using Visual Studio 2003) but when I go the Pocket PC and click on the file I get a native error 25011 with a description
The file is not a valid database file
An Internal error has occurred[,,,Databasename,,]
Interface defining error: IID_IDBInitialize
When I check on my Pocket PC what programs are available I've got Query Analyser 3.0 and SQLCE Query. It appears that the .sdf file is associated with SQLCE Query because when I use that to try and connect to the same database I get the same error.
If I use Query Analyser 3.0 (after having copied the .sdf file) to the temp directory I'm able to open the database.
There is a similar post to this one but it doesn't help me.
Is it that SQLCE Query is wrongly associated with the .sdf file?
If so how do I change that?
Or is there some other problem preventing me clicking on the .sdf db to open it?
I have recreated my project in Visual Studio 2005 and rebuilt all my components in 2005. There are some external ones that I use that I can't do this for.

This is a great tutorial and it's a shame one of the more important steps was missed.
In the Create the snapshot user? section you you find the steps to create the snapshot_agent account. Then in the Create the snapshot folder? section you find the share and folder permissions. However, at no point do the instructions advise you about adding the snapshot_agent to the SQL Server Logins. The result is that agent cannot perform the initial snapshot but you won't find this out until 50 steps later after Step 10 in the section Create a new subscription".
To get back on track, openthe Object Explorer's Security section and add the snapshot_agent to your logins. Then using the "User Mappings", set an appropriate level for the SQLMobile database role. Once completed you then need to run the agent.
Right-click the SQLMobile publication you created and select "View Snapshot Agent status". From that dialog you can select "Start" to run the agent. When it completes, you can return to the tutorial section "Create a new subscription" and continue with the tutorial.

Before I have met this problem, I have finished all the task. And I can browse the localhost web site by using anonymous account even I use internet explorer or browse the directly in IIS.
Does anyone can solve it?? Thank you very much~~~

I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

I am getting a return code of 12 (""File not created"") from sp_trace_create. I have checked to ensure that the path is valid. I am using Windows Authentication and the Windows Administrator account. SQL Server is using the Windows userid that I created for SQL Server. I have verified (at least tried to verify) that the user for SQL Server has access to the folder containing it. The following is the relevant portion of what I am attempting. DECLARE @RC int, @TraceId intExec @RC = sp_trace_create @TraceId OUTPUT, 0, N'C:TraceFile' I have tried other paths that also do not work.

Has anyone created a Thesaurus file that is using it? Specifically, has anyone set up a First Name thesaurus file and is it possible to get a hold of it. Why reinvent the wheel if someone has already done this. I am creating a database that needs to return records for fuzzy matches on first names. I don't know what all forms of the names can be such as Robert, Bob, Bobby, Bert or Sue, Suzie, Susie, Susan, Suzanne, etc. and I am betting someone has created something already that can be a starting point at least.
What about the Thesaurus Word currently uses? Does anyone know what the physical file name and location is of the thesaurus file Word uses?
Any help or direction is appreciated.
Thanks

How dow you schedule a file(.dtsx)(I think it is a package) that was created in the SQL Server BI Design Studio to run? I can locate the file I created in SQL Server Management Studio and see it in the right hand pane and even edit it. I can run it in the Design Studio, but cant see how to do that in Management Studio nor how to schedule it.
This is my first attempt at recreating a DTS package using SQL Server tools instead of the Legacy conversion wizard, and I think my brain has overheated. I just cant find it on the Management Screen or the Design. I am also not searching correctly anymore on books online because I cannot find it.
Thanks for pointing me to where I need to go or do.

NOONE ASKED FOR THIS!!! why the heck is BACKUP CERTIFICATE altering the file's ACLs - it's just a PUBLIC CERT I'm exporting!!
in additions MS doesn't seem able to add the ability to re-inherit file-rights from parent objects via the command-shell.
I export the public-key for a reason! I want to import it on another machine (automatically) to establish a trust. But this freaking "feature" is costing me HOURS of research on how to get rid of these ACLs on a public certificate!!!
argh!!!
sorry, I really had to get this out!
why not at least give us a switch we can set in BACKUP CERTIFICATE command to stop this from happening?
is there a work-around? now I need to activate
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
and
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1
just to be able to issue a (not working) DOS command cacls... to try to fix the "feature".
there's got to be a better way!!!
also - why can't there be a switch to force overwriting the target file, if it already exists? It's a BIG PAIN having to do lots of other stuff, just to be able to "backup" the certificate!
You gave us "xp_FileExist", but no xp_FileDelete with similar parameters!! again, I need to issue DOS COMMANDS just to do stuff I would not have to if someone at the levers was actually activating the back-brain!
PLEASE give me some hints on how MS recommends to solve these features!

I love SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), but it doesnt let me name the tabs when exporting to Excel. The feature is well documented as not being available.
So I figured I can use the cell(1,1) on each tab to contain the tab name, and have an SSIS job poll a file share, open the file, read the cell, rename tabs, rename the file, and then email out the file. Polling the directory and emailing is a piece of cake, but I can't find any way to rename a tab without having Excel loaded on the SERVER. Not to mention instantiating an entire instance of Excel on the SERVER every time I want to do this.
I want to leverage SSRS, and preserve the formatting of the excel file, which is why I don't just dump the data in with SSIS to begin with.
Anybody have any ideas?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a SQL Mobile .sdf file from my SQL Server 2005 database and cannot. I read the ms support docs for doing this and have had no luck . I created the respective publication and SQL Subscription for the db and when i run the process (not sure if i'm running the right process - docs don't say) it creates a directory under a "unc" directory with all my table objects (articles) with subscription/replication files for each table such as .cft, .bcp, .dri, .prc, .sch, and .trg. But no .sdf file for my SQL Server 2005 database.
All I want is the .sdf file so that i can copy it to my Pocket PC device and then connect my mobile application to it. I want to copy my SQL Server 2005 database to my device so that the mobile app uses the db on the device. Sounds easy - but it's not. Can someone tell me the easiest way to do this or point me to a doc that explains it. I checked the ms support docs and they state "after the .sdf file has been created..." in "Pre-building a SQL Server Mobile Database" doc. Where/How is the .sdf file created is what I would like to know?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks - Dave

Hi there, i am building a mobile app using vs 2008, the app has about 8 - 12 forms that collect data.. i am thinking of
i am trying to decide how i want to save the temporary work data while the user fills the data collection forms.
when the user selects to create a new report, i will
create a new xml file...
as user moves from form to form, i will update the file
when the user has finished filling up all the data i will create a transaction and insert the data into the sql ce database and delete the file...
i will be using sql ce 3.5
i think it supports transactions
i think it also supports identity.... i am using sql management studio 2005 standalone , so i cannot visually modify the 3.5 sdf.,..,. is there a tool for 2008 that will let me visually modify the table(s)? i dont want to use the 2008 feb community edition...
is there a better way to do this? should i skip the xml and go directly into sql ce insert (for the first record creation) and updates? i think this will be a performance killer on a win mob devilce (5.0)
p.s. i cannot store data in a class, and then commit the class to the transaction because if the application crashes i will loose class data, so xml file will be needed.,
suggestions?

Hello,
I have a huge table of around 6.2 billion rows in Oracle and I need to load this table to SQL Server. I am creating multiple raw files based on contact_dates in the table. I have used conditional expressions to branch out and create raw files. I need to specify static file names for each branch or I have to create multiple variables for each branch and use expressions to create file names.
My intention is to create only 1 variable and evaluate the expression based on the conditional expression description. Is this possible?
Regards
RH

Hi
I am looking at documentation of CREATE CERTIFICATE statement. I am having hard time in understanding if I want to create CERTIFICATE with above mentioned options, how I am supposed to create either PRIVATE KEY file or EXECUTABLE file. any example would be really helpful for what I am doing here.
thanks
Satya
