I am making a WPF app, and I want to use SQL Server Compact 4.0 for database management, but it doesn't support Remote data access, on the other hand SQL Server Compact 3.5 does support it but I can't use it in WPF ( I've installed it but can't add it in my project, it's not there in the templates). So is there any alternatives, for a light DBMS, that are not installed separately?
View 3 RepliesI am used to work with relational SQL Server databases in other editions and am fairly new to SQL compact. I have installed the compact edition and successfully opened a connection and worked with DB objects in the Compact edition, using Server Management Studio.
I have 2-3 questions:
- Are there any means / drivers / data access installations that would allow me to connect to a SQL Compact database using the data access means that I am used to in other editions of SQL Server? In other words, can I install a data-access "converter" that would know how to talk to the SQL Compact databases over the usual TCP/1434 protocol (or any other port)? I am looking for this feature in order to connect to the SQL Compact the same way I connect to any other relational database. Right now, I am using Toad for SQL Server and it would be nice if I could connect to a SQL Compact.
- With other (non-Compact) editions, I can create an alias to a SQL Server and then specify the means to connect to the server. Can I create an alias to a SQL Compact database/server? I tried but unsuccessfully. This relates to my previous question- If I could create an alias, then I could (I imagine) connect to the Compact databases/server the same way I connect to any relational database using the alias.
- Are there any tutorials for people who are used to working with other (non-Compact) editions that are starting to work with Compact? Any BOL sections that explain the differences between other editions and Compact, from a management-tools/connectivity standpoint? I found some literature; wondering if there's something more detailed out there.
Thank you in advance.
I have two win2003 servers. One is IIS and the another is SQL server. Ican use MyConnection=newSqlConnection("server=SQLServerName;database=myDBName;UID=sa;PWD= mypwd")to access my data. But I can not use MyConnection=newSqlConnection("server=SQLServerName;database=myDBName;IntegratedSecurity=SSPI") to access it. If I put both IIS and SQL Server in onemachine, I can do anything. How can I do something to allow trustedauthority work ?Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to run through the Microsoft example at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb226707.aspx entitled "Configuring IIS for SQL Server 2005 CE Remote data access and Merge replication" but I'm having issues. The first time I ran through it I tried to use IIS on a server that was not the same as the SQL server and it didn't work at all. So I ran through it a second time and used the SQL servers IIS for testing and when I went to access the webpage I got a HTTP 500 Internal Error. After a while of playing I got a "Service Unavailable" message but still not the "Microsoft SQL Server CE server agent" screen I should have gotten. So my first question is how do I get this to work with a seperate IIS server? Which step do I change because I did put the right IIS and made a site there but it didn't work? I thought changing step 5 under the "To configure IIS for SQL Server CE Sync" to my IIs server would do it but it didn't. Maybe because in step 8 of the same section you have to use the share name and not a local directory even though its the same directory on the IIs server?
Also I just want to make sure I'm going down the right path with this. I have a VB.Net 05 application that connects to a database on a SQL 2005 server internally. I also have a seperate IIS server that is serving some web pages. Network is protected by both a hardware firewall then to a ISA box which I can control and allow http access to the internal IIS for whatever subdomain I end up choosing. I would like to create a mobile version of the application for some Mobile 6 devices we have and have them able to sync there data. In fact they don't even need to sync, just be able to download the server data once a week or on command. I've gotten the SDK for mobile devices, the "How to pull data using the RDA object", written the framework for the program, and now I need to figure out how to push the data out so it can be retrieved by my mobile devices over the internet. I've tried searching for answers, I thought this would be a popular thing to do, but I'm having trouble finding anything.

- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
Is there a way to import the table definitions and data from an Access database into the 3.5 compact edition? I have no clue where to start. I have a .Net application that uses an Access database to store data. I want to create a windows mobile application for collecting the data and syncing with the PC application. Is the 3.5 compact edition the way to go? How do I get started? I don't even know how to open the interface for the database.
I'm certainly no newbie to programming, but the SQL Server and Windows Mobile stuff is like starting all over in some ways.
Greetings to all!
Can MS Access 2000 databases be imported into SQL Server Compact 3.5 Beta?
I'm using a legacy application built using VB5 and SQL Server 7. After recompiling it, and putting the database in SQL Server 2012. I want to access the current login user using the SQL function SUSER_SNAME().
This is the code.
Set rdoRes = goDatabase.Connection.OpenResultset("select suser_sname()")
But I'm unable to get the current user login in the application. If I write any other SQL statement instead of this, then it runs. But only this statement is not running. Is there any security reasons for this?
Hello,
I just installed SQL Server Compact Edition, since I am considering using it instead of SQL Server Express for a local database in my application. The documentation mentioned that I could use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to the Compact Edition and create and manipulate databases.
To try to connect, I run Management Studio and bring up the "Connect to Server" dialog. Unfortunately, the pull-down list of "Server name"s does not include the SQL Server Compact Edition server. I do not know how to type in the server name manually, so I cannot connect.
To install Compact Edition, I downloaded it and ran "SQLServerCE31-EN.msi". This installed, and I assume registered, a number of DLLs in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.1".
Is there perhaps an additional step that I left out to complete the installation?
Might I need an upgrade to some other components? My Management Studio Version is:
- Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.2047.00
I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you,
WTW

Hi,
I have an MS SQL Server 2000 database running on a local area network. The database contains product info that I would like to use to populate a web catelog being hosted off site.
Can someone point me in the right direct regarding common practices for using this product database, which is updated on a regular basis, to update my Web catelog?
I was thinking periodically the Web server could remotely query my product database for new entries (this does not need to be real time).
What do you think...

Hi,
I am trying to use RDA.pull to pull data from SQL server 2000 to sql mobile, but it fails when some columns are included in the SQLSelectString, though the datatypes involved are only char, float, smallint and smalldatetime, and nothing is longer than 30. Since there is a very large number of columns, it is difficult to isolate the guilty one by trial and error! Coud someone please help?

I'm using SQL Server to store session state. The Sql Server is on the local network but not on the web server. I use impersonation and use account credentials for the ASPNET worker process:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="domainuser" password="pass"/>
I'm able to access all resources and execute all pages without any problem.
When an object is added to session state I recieve the following error:
"Cannot open database requested in login 'ASPState'. Login fails. Login failed for user 'domainusername. "
Here is my web.config entry for using sql server (with modified connection string of course):
<sessionState mode="SQLServer" cookieless="false" timeout="30" stateConnectionString="Data Source=xxx.xxx.x.xx,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=ASPState;Integrated Security=SSPI" />
I've checked and given the user i'm impersonating the ability to do everything. I've granted access on all necessary files, added them to the DB and made the user a db_owner of the ASPState table. I can log in to a machine as the user, then access sql server using the windows authentication. I granted 'act as part of the operating system', 'access this computer from a network', 'log on as a service', 'log on as a batch job' on both the remote computer hosting sql server and the web server.
The strange thing is i installed the asp session state tables on my development machine, using the same configuration file to run everything, and was able to add an object to session state without any problem. But when i specify the remote server, i'm denied.
Anybody have an idea?
Here is the connection string i used:
"Data Source=<IP>,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=<dbname>;User ID=sa;Password=<pwd>;"
i use that to connect to the remote SQL server, which has status of port 1433 at "Stealth"... do i need to open the port complete, if yes how i do that ?
does the SQL Server must use SQL authentication ?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

My ISP provide MS SQL Server. I can create my database name, dbusername and dbpassword through control panel and then I can access the database in ASP using this connection string "Provider=SQLOLEDB;UID=dbusername; PWD=dbpasword".
Before, I could also use my enterprise manager to create a new sql server registration using my web url, dbusername and dbpassword. But now it seems that my ISP blocks the port or something and ask me do everything through the control panel.
Does anyone have some idea to connect to a remote server thorough enterprise manager based on the infromation I have?
It would be very helpful for your opinion!
Does anyone know of a good place to find instructions on how to set up remote access to my SQL Server. I have been unsuccessful finding anything on this topic.
Thanks in adavance
Hi,
I use a VS2005 application with a sql database. All is working well over a local network but I now want remote access to the system via the internet.
Is this possible? I have a fixed IP address & am wondering if I can just use the ip address as part of the connection string? (And if so - how!)
I'm writing a piece of software that is designed to access data from SQL server. The office's server has SQL server version 7 installed. The software works perfectly when running on a computer on the network in the office. I however am trying to work out how to use use the software from my home computer and connect to the SQL server database remotely. I've never done this before and I'm finding it hard to find the right information.
Firstly, is it easy to do this? What do I need to do with the server in the office to allow this to work? Do I need any extra hardware/software? How will my software connect to SQL server? Is it as simple as changing the connection string to something like the server's ip address and sql server name?
I'm writing the software in Visual Studio 2005 professional and programming in VB.
Many thanks.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 CE on my computer, but when I try to add a data connection to a CE database in Visual Studio 2005, I cannot find the option "SQL Server 2005 Combact Edition". Why?
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?

I was just trying out Microsoft SQL Server 2000. I created a sample application which reads in 2 values from a textbox and writes it into a databse. This application works fine on my computer and the values are written to the database (In the connection string, I give my IP address as the datasource so that anyone on the internet can hit this database). However, when I copy this application to another computer and try to run it, it gives me an error "SQL Server does not exist or access is denied." I know this is a minor problem with some setting, but I haven't been able to find the solution on the internet. Can someone whose worked with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 please help me out.
