SQL Server Compact/Mobile Edition Versions
Mar 12, 2007
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.

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,

Hello
I recently downloaded the sql mobile edition, and then I found out about the compact edition.
I understand that these are relational lite version of sql server that can run on mobile devices.
However, what is the difference between the CF and mobile edition? Why should I choice one over the other?
I have just heard about sql everywhere, seems there are all these edtions and how would you choice the right tool for the right job?
Many thanks if someone could explain further,
Steve

Hello
We currently use SQL Mobile and SQL Server 2005. We depend heavily on merge replication for data to the field handheld devices.
We are going to be starting some new projects and I was wondering about moving to SQL Compact Edition as the first step to migrating all of our applications.
I am concerned, however, about the server side and replication. If we simply deploy SQL Compact Edition will there need to be any changes to the server for replication?
Thanks,

I have not seen much info on this so I thought I would ask the forum. I have VS2005, no SP1 and SQL Mobile installed on my computer. I started developing an app for Windows Mobile 5 using RDA and it appears to work fine. Now I want to know what happens to SQL Mobile if I install SQL CE. Is it going to affect my app? Do I have to install the SQL CE merge replications tools for IIS again? I already have them for SQL Mobile? Will this affect the operation of my app? It looks like the installation procedures call for installing SQL CE tools to VS2005 before installing VS2005 SP1 then install VS2005 SP1 and finally install SQL CE tools for VS2005 SP1. Any help, thoughts or experiences involving this would be appreciated.

Hello,
there are some limitations in SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition - e.g. there is no TRUNCATE TABLE statement, the UPDATE .. FROM clause is not allowed etc. Are these limitations in Compact Edition too? Is T-SQL in these editions functionally equal or different? Is there any comparison of T-SQL features in both editions?

I'm currently looking at adding a database to my company's WinCE 4.2 -based device, running applications coded with embedded CE 4.0. We want to start tracking potentially large quantities of user data (10K-30K 500 byte records) and are looking at a database engine to support this. The database would reside on the device although we would potentially dump the data from the devices to a central workstation that would be used to pull reports about the data across multiple devices. SQL Server Compact Edition sounds like a possible solution, but I'm unclear if it's supported on CE 4.2 or how to install it if it is. It's clearly supported on CE 5.0, but it may be a while before we upgrade to CE 5.0 or 6.0. I've seen references that say that SQL Server Compact Edition is the same as SQL Server Mobile Edition, and references that Mobile Edition is supported on CE 4.2, but I'm unclear if I can install and use SQL Server Compact Edition on CE 4.2 or if I'm on a wild goose chase. If not, can I use SQL Server Mobile Edition and migrate to SQL Server Compact Edition when we upgrade CE to 5.0 or 6.0? If not Mobile Edition, what about Microsoft SQL Server CE 2.0? Is that going too far back in the archives?
Thanks for any guidance/enlightenment you can offer.

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

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've been trying to create an installer for a little .NET CF 3.5 app I've written for Windows Mobile. It uses SQL Server Compact 3.5.
I've got the .NET CF and my program to deploy on the device using ini files and ceappmgr.exe, but when I try to do the same for SQLCE 3.5, it doesn't work (more on this in a sec).
I need my installer to install across lots of different CPU architectures, so I created an ceappmgr INI file that includes all the different cabs for the different CPU architectures.
I'm trying to test the installer by making it install on my smartphone (ARM CPU). The problem is, when I install it I get an error message on the device "The installation file is not intended for this device.". I reckon this means ceappmgr is picking the wrong cab file and trying to make my phone install it!
I did a bit of testing and found out if I remove all the cabs from my ceappmgr INI file EXCEPT for the one that is appropriate for my smartphone, then it works fine! But as soon as I include a cab file that is not appropriate for my device (eg a different cpu architecture, or the ARM PPC cab file), it stops working and I get that "not intended for this device" message.
My INI file looks like this:
[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = SQL Server Compact 3.5
[SQL Server Compact 3.5]
Description = Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5
CabFiles = sqlce.phone.wce5.armv4i.CAB,sqlce.wce5.armv4i.CAB,sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB,sqlce.wce5.mipsii.CAB,sqlce.wce5.mipsii_fp.CAB,sqlce.wce5.mipsiv.CAB,sqlce.wce5.mipsiv_fp.CAB,sqlce.wce5.sh4.CAB,sqlce.wce5.x86.CAB
Any idea why ceappmgr would be (seemingly) picking the wrong cab file and trying to make my device install it?
Btw, my smartphone uses the "sqlce.phone.wce5.armv4i.CAB" cab file.
Cheers 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

I am writing an application that is designed for the desktop, or small group (3 or less) desktops. The application is being deployed using the Cassini web server as a complete "embedded" solution. I wanted to use SQL Server Compact because of its small footprint and because of the synchronization capabilities with SQLServer. Also, it is very easy to deploy vs. SQL Server Express. The idea behind this APP is that someone might use it locally and then decide to subscribe to the service and then connect the same application to a web services application.
That being said, and with knowledge of Microsoft's stance on SQL Compact under ASP.NET, I have most everything working and it works great except for one thing. When I add a SQLDataSource to the page and set the connection string to my file and the DataProvider to System.Data.SqlServerCe and then bind a data grid to the SQLDataSource, it runs fine on my development machine, but when I deploy to my clean test machine, I get an error when the page loads saying:
Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.
I can create a dataset in code (in fact,in several other places I do) and it works fine. It is just the SQLDataSource(s) that are throwing this error. I have a copy of System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll in the bin folder and I have all of the compact DLL's in the bin folder as well. I can't figure out what I need to do. I also have a reference to the System.Data.SqlServerCe in the web.config file.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about the editions. Will SQL Server Compact v3.1 be a successor of SQL Server Mobile v3.0 (but with desktop and mobile targets) or will the two editions coexist with SQL Server Mobile on Smart Devices and SQL Server Compact on desktop PCs?
I'm drawing this conclusion because the CTP & now also the RC1 of SQL Server Compact are only compiled for desktops (and I've also seen that the .NET library is compiled against .NET Framework 2.0 desktop edition). If I'm wrong, why are no smart device CABs provided?
My second question:
Is the file format of SQL Server Mobile & Compact the same? Can I create a SDF file with the Compact Edition on the desktop, move it to the smart device and use it there with the "older" Mobile Edition? I'm asking, because we are starting a project where we need to create a SDF on the desktop, because of performance reasons.
Thanks in advance,
Klaus

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.

Hi to all,
I am new to VS, hence new to CF too,
Using VS2005 SP1, CF2.0, PocketPC Mobile 5.0 emulator.
Im looking for the most simple example I can get to create a db and a table just to understand the very basics of SQL Server Compact Edition.
I did some gui examples posted in MSDN, it worked fine, no problem.
But I don't want to use the toolbox dragging DataGrid, DataSourceBinding or Northwind.sdf, or any of that.
All I need is to be able to create a simple db, a table with two columns, and a connection to do very simple query,
I searched and searched, cannot find my simple guide.
Can anybody help me resolving this?
here is my test.
opened a new project, named MydbTest2
added a reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe
added a button to the form1
added a using directive System.Data.SqlServerCe
and this is the rest.
I get errors about

I am attempting to use the SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition (Management Studio) to create/manage a Compact Edition 3.5 database. My problem is that I cannot even create/open the compact database in Management Studio. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. TIA
Problem Creating the Compact Database:
Open 2008 Management Studio
From menu choose File | Connect Object Explorer...
Choose SQL Server Compact Edition as the Server type.
Choose <New Database...> as the Database file.
Browse to folder where file will be created (C:MyDatabase#1.sdf was used in my example)
Leave all other field as default selections OR make changes, either way it does not work.
Click OK.
At this point the OK button just becomes disabled and nothing happens.
Problem Opening An Existing Compact Database:
Open 2008 Management Studio
From menu choose File | Connect Object Explorer...
Choose SQL Server Compact Edition as the Server type.
Choose <Browse for more...> as the Database file and locate a ".sdf" file that I created using VS2008.

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

Is it possible to use SQL Server Compact Edition v3.5 with SQL Server Management Studio?
When I attempt to connect to a 3.5 database I get the following error:
"You are trying to access an older version of a SQL Server Compact Edition Database..."
I am using v3.5 beta 2.
If not, is there anything out there that provides a Query Analyzer like interface for viewing data that works with v3.5?

I know that there is no ODBC driver available for SQL Server Compact Edition version 3.5. Do you plan to add an ODBC driver in future release? If yes, is it high in your priority list?
The scenario why I am looking for an ODBC driver is to connect an MS Access application to a SDF file instead of MDB file. This will enable me to easily sync the SDF file with SQL server repository using the new Data Sync Services.

I have a PDA application that manage a database.

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.
