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 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?
Hi,
I can't seem to find which SQL Server Compact Edition version is pre-installed on the Windows Mobile 6 rom.
I guess it is 3.0, but I'm not sure about it.
Another question is, if I use SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 by deploying the .dll files as part of my application's CAB installer, will this be a problem for Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6?
Thank you in advance,
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,
I am using Compact Edition in a fairly large C# application being developed using Visual Studio 2005.
I downloaded Compact Edition in August 2007. The file version of all of the CE dlls: sqlceca30.dll, sqlcecompact30.dll, sqlceer30EN.dll, etc. is
3.0.5300.0
The installation file that I downloaded to install Compact Edition is "SQLServerCE31-EN.msi", which to me implies that it is Version 3.1.
Now, however, if I go to the Compact Edition downloading website, everything refers to Version 3.5.
In fact, the title of the download page is
"SQL Server Compact 3.5"
The word "edition" seems to have been taken out of the name. It also appears that the version I downloaded in August 2007 is no longer available.
I cannot find any information about the differences between the August 2007 version that I am running and the current Version 3.5.
I have a couple of questions:
What happened here?
Is there any risk in moving from the August 2007 version to "SQL Server Compact 3.5?
I will appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you,
WTW
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
Sql server 2005 Compact edition.
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

Hi
Can we use Top Clause in the Select statement while using SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition. If not, is there any other workaround available to achieve same results.

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.

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!

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!
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

We have a plan to use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition RC1 as a backend. Our Front-end is VS .NET (VB.NET).
We want to know how to edit the Compact Edition database (.SDF). Is there any editor is available right now in the market? or microsoft provided any editor for this.
OR Can i use microsoft 2005 sql server standard edition for this.

Is there any way to convert an Access or SQL server 2005 database to SQL server 2005 compact edition database??
Thank you very much!!
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,

I have a question about a problem that I cannot seem to tackle. I have installed the following programs on Windows Vista:
- SQL Server 2005
- Visual Studio 2008
- SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5
- SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 Server Tools
I want to do the following:
1. I want to create a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 database in the SQL Server Management Studio
2. I want my SQL Express server in SQL Server 2005 to be a distributor and publisher
About 1. In SQL Server Management Studio I cannot choose SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 .
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.
Does anyone have a solution to both problems.
Hi,
I am using SQL Express 2005 server and sql compact edition for my PDA. For synchronization, which SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Server Tools installation package do I use?
Is it Sqlce30setupen.msi or sql2kensp4.msi or sql2kensp3a.msi? I know for sql server 2005 its Sqlce30setupen.msi. Is it the same for the SQL Express 2005?
Thanks
SQL Server 2005 full version is installed on a server computer. I installed MS VS 2005 Express edition on the server. As VS 2005 Express edition can only access to SQL Server 2005 Express edition, so a SQL Server 2005 Express edition has to be installed on the server. I wonder if both SQL Server 2005 full version and Express edition can be installed in the same computer.
Thanks,

We downloaded and installed the trial software of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition a month ago. We have purchased a fully licensed version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and would like to apply the licensed version to our workstation clients since their SQL software will eventually expire. Our SQL Server is not an issue since we purchased a new Server and installed the new licensed version of SQL on it.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this or is an uninstall & reinstall of SQL on every workstation required?
Thanks,
ChrisB
I just received my licensed disks for upgrading my SQL Server 2005 Evaluation version to a fully licensed version. Do I simply run the two disks over top of the evaluation version or is it a little bit more complicated? Any input would be greatly appreciated. A little new to SQL.

Any day above ground is a good day!
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.
