documentation states, that Windows XP Embedded (XPe) is not supported by any SQL Server 2005 Edition (as I intend to use the Epress Edition on that platform, I post to this forum). So, why is that? Is it just not tested or are there technical reasons for it? What are these reasons? What works and what doesn't on XPe? May XPe be supported in any later version?
An update was supposed to be released for SQL Server Mobile which enabled support for CE 4.2. This was supposed to be released around the time of CF 2.0 sp1. SP1 came out over a month ago and there is still no sign of the SQL Mobile update. Does anyone have any information on a release date ?
I have code that creates a SQL Mobile database on a server. It has worked in many environments, but I have one customer experiencing an issue. It will not create the database on their server. I would appreciate any thoughts.
The exact error message I get is "the operating system does not support encryption"
I am getting it on the line: SQLCeEngine.CreateDatabase()
Here is the code: SQLCeEngine = New SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine(SQLConnectionString) ReturnValue += ": Declare new" SQLCeEngine.CreateDatabase() ReturnValue += ":Create" SQLCeEngine.Dispose() ReturnValue += ": Dispose"
Here is the error message I get from our application- the part after Err: is the actual error message from the system: Data Source = D:EVADATAWebServiceDownloads est;Password=test;Persist Security Info=False;: Declare new:Error!:Err:The operating system does not support encryption.
When I go into SQL Express and create a SQL Mobile database using it, it can be created. So, I have to believe it can be done on the server, but I don't know why the code can not do it. (e.g. FileConnect Object ExplorerServer Type: SQL Server compact Edition and create a database). The database is successfully created if I do it manually this way. It even creates fine if I select the 'Encrypt' button.
The machine is a Windows 2000 Server sp4 version 5.00.2195 SQL 2000 is installed SQL 2005 Express is installed I ran the SQLServerCE31-EN.msi file and it is installed. (I have also re-run and repaired it) I have also copied over the newest version of our code from scratch.
Reader Community I've just started hosting my newly created Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition web site. Unfortunately the Login group membership functions will not function correctly. Having contacted the web service hosting provider, They replied: "We do not support SQL express2005. The only way to use the extra functions of ASP.NET2 such as group membership is if it is using an SQL 2000 database to connect to. " Is it possible to design web sites with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition that store membership details on an SQL 2000 database? I've just paid £88 approx. $140 for a years subscription, have I chosen the wrong web service hosting provider? Should I have designed the web site with a better web site design software tool that also makes designing membership login functionality easy, just as Microsoft Visual Web developer 2005 express edition? Look forward to all comments? Regards
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.
suggested that this problem could be circumvented by getting the replication object early and then continuously using the same object for subsequent replications.
I did this and it works a lot better now but ever so often I get another error which is
Native Error 28559 SQL Mobile encountered problems when opening the database
My only option at this point is to stop and start the application which cures the problem.
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 ?
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?
I receive error 25123 on my PPC (audiovox 6600) in a reproducable way (usually) with .net 2.0 application that is using SQL CE that I wrote:
Open the application Connect to the database Close the applicaton Re-Open the application Connect to the database <-- Error occurs
I will also receive the error if my application isn't the first application launched (or very close to the first to launch).
I don't believe it's a memory issue as according to the memory manager I have plenty of memory:
At boot up only start screen items loaded: 18.46 Used 49.89 Free Launch Resco File Explorer to click EXE: 19.18 Used 49.18 Free Launch my application (no DB connection): 23.64 Used 44.71 Free Connect to the DB and do select count(*) from a table with 0 rows: 26.27 Used 42.08 Free Close the application (this.Close() on the form: 19.38 Used 48.97 Free Relaunch App and connect to DB receive error: around 38 Used around 30 free
I was unable to reproduce the issue right now while typing this message, the last sets of numbers are from memory, and include other applications that are currently running.
The only way I have to get SQL CE to load again is to soft reset the PPC. If the application is able to connect to SQL CE at least once it is fine up till I close it and re-open the application. So it either connects and runs great, or it can't connect at all.
Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Wayne
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
This is a great tutorial and it's a shame one of the more important steps was missed. In the €œCreate the snapshot user€? section you you find the steps to create the snapshot_agent account. Then in the €œCreate 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 €œCreate 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.
I am studying the tutorial in SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Books Online, and the topic is Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Mobile. I have got a problem when creating a new subscription after created a new SQL Server Mobile database. And the problem is shown below:
New Subscription Wizard
- Beginning Synchronization (Success)
- Synchronizing Data (100%) (Error) Messages * Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connection information. SQL Server does not exist, access is denied because the IIS user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect. HRESULT 0x80004005 (29061)
* 無法完æˆ?作æ¥ã€‚
- Finalizing Synchronization (Stopped)
- Saving Subscription Properties (Stopped)
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.
I have a DTS package that transfers some columns defined as varchar(8000).
Sometimes, the values in the columns defined this way have embedded CR/LF in them. When they do, DTS does not always transfer the values to the target.
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.
I'm looking into a problem a friend is having, and I'll say right offthe bat that I work with with php and MySQL, and not MS SQL.What he is attempting to do (in MS SQL) is take two database fieldsfrom a table (string fields), multiply them together, and put them intoa third field. This third column in the table has not yet been createdthe time of running the query.If it needs to be multiple queries, that is fine. My first thought isto use a simple ALTER query to add the column to the table, then tocall a UPDATE function which uses a select statement inside of it. I'mnot sure if something like this can even be done.// ------------ Suggested queryUPDATE chrisslu SET 'discquantity' = '(SELECTchrisslu.quantity*chrisslu.nr_of_discFROM chrissluWHERE (str(period,6)>=? AND str(period,6)<=?))' WHERE(str(period,6)>=?Andstr(period,6)<=?)// ------------ End Suggested queryIt starts with an UPDATE, but replaces the value to be set with aSELECT statement. I honestly don't even think this query issyntactically correct, I'm just trying to get the general concept down:).So, question the first: Is this type of query possible? The reasonI'm doing this is because I was told MS SQL has no way of storingtemporary variables... otherwise I would just call a SELECT statement,store the variable, and UPDATE the new field from the variable afterthe ALTER statement.Second question: If it is possible, am I on the right track, or doesit need to be entered in completely different than what I have?Third: Regarding the 'type'. Do I need to do any kind of typecastingor conversion of the fields? Both chrisslu.quantity andchrisslu.nr_of_disc are string fields (that is what I was told, theymay be varchar of some kind). In order to use them in a mathstatement, do they have to be floats, or doubles, or something similar?I appreciate any response, I know this was a long winded question.Chris
Is there any way to embed a video in a report? It doesn't seem like it but I thought I may be missing something. Maybe directly editing the xml code? Thanks.
I have embedded tabs in a text field that I want to import to a destination table.
I was thinking I need to replace the tabs with spaces. REPLACE(character_expression,searchstring,replacementstring) Anybody know how to specify ascii in the character expression.If there is a better way I am open to suggestions, however I do not way to remove this in the raw data but handle at transformation time. Thanks,Larry
I've an embedded image (logo) in my report, and in the preview it looks wonderful, but after deploy the logo doesnt appear in the report (report server).
The url of the dead-link-image is http://hamsql1/Reports$BI/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?.
I thought that an embedded image is stored "in" the report, but it seems to be an other place. Is it nessecary to deploy an embedded image too? Is it a problem of permissions (i read it in another threat)? How to set these image-see-permission? Or is there an other problem?
I have a Select statement that was working just fine: string sSqlCmd = "INSERT INTO SiloKeywords (Silo_ID, Keyword, UserName) SELECT Silo_ID,'" + Keyword + "', '" + strUsername + "' FROM SiloNames WHERE Silo_Name = '" + Uri + "'"; the PM now wants to capture the internal User, which I have done but I am having real problems with the syntax if the internal User exists:
string sSqlCmd = "INSERT INTO SiloKeywords (Silo_ID, Keyword, UserName, IsInternal) SELECT Silo_ID,'" + Keyword + "', '" + strUserName + "', if EXISTS(SELECT * FROM InternalUsersList WHERE Alias = '" + arrResult[1] + "') 1 ELSE 0 FROM SiloNames WHERE Silo_Name = '" + Uri + "'"; I am completely lost here.
I am trying to find something like a light version of SQL Server 2k to store data for an application that will be distributed through a cd.
Since we also have a web front end for this application when the user is online, we prefer that we can reuse the code for connection on both the cd and the web.
Any idea what will work?
I have come accross MSDE 2k but was not able to find any documentation on the pros and cons for this product regarding its capacity, the type of data it can handle, security, ...
I was wondering if anyone had tried to embed sql server express in a .net application. Specifically, I want to use it from within the app only, similar to embedded mysql (libmysqld) or firebird. I've seen some articles on sql server express saying this can be done, however there is no info on how do to this. Anyone know how it might be done?

What I'd like to do is use the result of one query as the input foranother. eg:INSERT INTO foo VALUES ((SELECT id FROM people WHERE name = "bar"),10,'foobar') WHEREid = 1;Problem is, MSSQL wants a scalar value. Is there a way around this?Can someone tell me the correct syntax for what I want to do, or is thissomething that will have to be done outside SQL?Err. Hope I've been clear. Thanks for any help you folks can give.
We have text files that are comma delimited, use double quotes as text qualifiers and sometimes have embedded double quotes. The embedded double quotes are escaped with an additional double quote like: below.
"123","product q"
"124","product ""a"""
DTS 2000 had no problem with this- it correctly parsed the files. The 2005 SSIS file connection manager correctly parses this in preview mode. But when the task is executed the task fails with the message "The column delimiter for column X was not found".
What is the recommended approach for this - we have alot of files in this format.
I have a report with background embedded image. I have placed few textboxes on top of them to display data. Every time I set the location of the textbox, it is behaving strangely by rendering at one location one time and changing location next time when it is rendered. I am viewing it in PDF format.
How can I fix the location of textboxes that renders at one location all the time ?
