Hello,
i am planning to build Pocket Pc App and i would like to know if i can use Sql Mobile as my data store. The data base design is quite complex.
I wont be using any recplication/synchronization in my app since its a standalone app.
pls suggest.
Thanks

I have a need to demonstrate an application I built in ASP.NET with SQL Server as the back-end database. The problem is when I don't have a network connection, I get an exception thrown..."SQL Server does not exist or access denied." This is the connection string I use (via ASP.NET/ADO.NET): "server=localhost; uid=xxxx; pwd=xxxx; database=mydb"
I've tried Query Analyzer and it too, doesn't work - I get an error message that reads: "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied." However, via SQL Server Enterprise Manager, I can connect and do what I want to the database.
As soon as I connect my laptop to any network, the web application works fine (no errors), as well as the Query Analyzer.
Any insights are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have a vbs script to try to prove that I can perform vbs scripting in either a job step or a dts package
The script is
dim rs, sql,adoconn, adocommand, dataconnstring
set adoconn = createObject("ADODB.CONNECTION")
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
set adocommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
adoconn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=myserver;Database=pubs;U id=myuser;Pwd=mypass;"
adoconn.Open
sql = "select * from import"
rs.Open sql, adoconn,adOpenForwardOnly
while rs.EOF = false
sql = "insert into zz default values"
adocommand.ActiveConnection = adoconn
adocommand.CommandText = sql
adocommand.Execute
rs.MoveNext
wend
rs.Close
adoconn.Close
set adoconn = nothing
However,
when I run this from windows explorer it works fine,
but when I try to run it as an activeX script, I get the error ActiveX scripting: Function not found
As a cmdexec step in a job, I use the line c:inetpubwwwrootvbsvbstest1.vbs
It failed with the error
The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x119BDBD264AD9B4597A9302786F0E250 (reason: %1 is not a valid Win32 application). The step failed.
What is wrong with the vbs script ?, or do I need to invoke it a different way ?
thanks in advance
I have an issue with the BCP util, it is extremely slow when running a BCP in to the same database on an A/P cluster vs. Standalone system. It is a vendor application, so I have little control as to what I can do. The BCP runs from a jobserver (remote) through the network, but it runs the same way in the standalone system, yet the process is about 10X as slow with the cluster, and the only diff is cluster vs. standalone.
SQLClusterName is specified in -S, not the active node, and it uses a trusted connection, not a local account. Is there anything about a cluster config that would cause the BCP to run slower ?
Any thoughts ??
Thanks,
Paul
I have installed SQL Server 2005 on my laptop that has Vista OS.
I want to log on only to teach myself. Is there a way that i could use the program without having to set it up on a server.
Is it possible to run SQL Server Compact Edition as a standalone application from a DVD?
i.e. it would not leave anything installed on the users computer after the DVD was ejected.
Here is my Question...
I have 3 server hardware and the whole purpose is to make one as a web server and another one a SQL server. The purpose of the 3rd server is purely a backup server, what that means is, in case if my web server nor my database server fails, I should be able to use the 3rd server as a backup. How do I achive this without using MS cluster service.
I can use NLB for Web, but what about SQL server ??
All I need to know is ,other than MS cluster service, is there any way I can create a backup SQL database server ( secondary database server) in case the primary fails with very minimal down time? I need my secondary ( backup) server up and running when the primary fails. I don't want to use Cluster service because of the cost for storage and license.
Any idea will be welcomed. I could have used the datamirroring option of the 2005 , but this is for a production deployment and is not recomended by microsoft. also, restore the backup from primary and make it work is not welcomed.
Thanks

Hi,
I am developing a web project in VS 2005 Professional.
The site will be hosted on a machince that does not have an instance of Sql Server Express. Can I still use the standalone sql database file (.mdf) file? Are there drivers in ASP.NET that allow this or do I have to ask that an instance of either Sql Server or Sql Server Express be installed?
Thanks, Mike
Hey guys,
I'm really new to this so this might look dumb, but I need to know what all has to be done to develop a standalone database application.....The frontend is going to be on VC++...which are the best tools I'll need to use. I need to know if the user has to install the database app to use the program to make this possible......Also will he have to keep it running everytime to use the program.
Thanks a lot for you time and patience,

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
I am migrating a pocket PC application from VS 2003 to VS 2005 and a few weeks ago I hit the following problem when replicating
A SQL Mobile DLL could not be loaded. Reinstall SQL Mobile. [ DLL Name=sqlceca30.dll]
Scanning forums for help I saw that other people had had this problem and one
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/aspnet_answers/NETFrameworkCompactFramework/Feb2006/post25814466.asp
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.
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.

Can someone please tell me if i can use SQL Server 2005 on my standalone laptop, and how do i connect, i dont know how to set up the password so i can connect
Many thanks Rob
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?
It is possible to access a Sql Server 2005 Mobile database in a VS2003 application (compact framework) ?
Thanks

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.

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,

I've just spent the most frustrating 4 hours trying to install SP2.
I kept getting "unable to start SQL Server service....see BOL ...re starting the service manually" messages; with the only options being to Retry or Cancel. Retry resulted in the same message. Cancel resulted in all components except SQL (sqlexpress) being installed - therefore totally useless
No mater what I did i could start the SQLservice as it did'nt show in the list of Services; nor did the SQL EE programme show in the Add/Remove Programs...evenn though the other components did.
I deleted/removed everything that was istalled; cleaned up the Registry; and tried again...
..and again
..and again
FIVE install / re-install failures; numerous registry cleanups!!!!
I was at the point where it looked like i'd have to reformat my hard disk, and completely re-install XP, all aplications i.e. Office 2003 etc in order for the thing to work.
I gave it one more shot, but this time, during install
- selected all components except SDK
- I unchecked the Start SQL / BROWSER at startup
- Checked the Enable User Instances and Add to Administrators boxes
Lo and behold....it installed!!!
I'm still very worried as the registry is full of "duplicate" entries i.e. Blah blah blah and blah blah blah.1
But at least the thing is installed.
Would interested to hear if anyone has had similar or other problems with the SP2 install/upgrade
----------------------
For info:
I ran the install as Administrator
IIS not installed
Win XP Sp2 fully updated
Dell Inspiron XPS M1710 laptop with 2gb Ram; 2ghz Duo core processors
Please could anyone tell me what are the real differences between SQL Server 2005 bundled along with Visual Studio.NET and a standalone one.
Thanks in advance.
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.
Does anyone can solve it?? Thank you very much~~~
I need to create a report in SSRS 2015 but I need to bind that report to an external dataset .

Another issue is that the report is standalone -rdlc.
Can I call the report from a webservice .asmx not wcf and render it automatically in pdf format?
Help!!!
I want to install SQLExp2K5 with Advanced Services on a standalone basis on my Dell Inspiron XPS laptop (Win XP sp2, .NET 2.0; 2gb RAM; 8mb broadband; hardware firewall/router) so that I can learn SQL/VB/VWD, and want to use SQL E 2K5 without internet connectivity (at least until I know what the hell I'm doing!)
Really confused as to what component(s), and services I should/should not install - so I've listed my questions below:
1. Service Account: As I'm not on / dont have a domain, i presume using a domain user account is not an option for me. Should I use the Local Service account ? If so, what are/can be the issues in doing so?
2. Authentication Mode: Is Windows Authentication the one to use for a standalone install?; how would I enable the "sa" account and set an "sa" password? In fact, do I even need an"sa" account / password for a standalone, non internet connected install?
3. Components at install: Is it OK to install all components first off?
4. IIS: Is it possible to install IIS and not allow it access to the internet (or is this a stupid question -bearing in mind I dont really know what IIS is/does)
5: Business Intelligence Development Suite: How do I add BIDS once (IF) I manage to install SQLExp2K5-Adv.Ser,?
6. SQLExp2K5 Books on-line: Am I right in thinking that I should install this after installing SQLExp2K5?
7: Visual Basic Express/Visual Web Developer Express: Do these need to be configured seperately to work with SQLExp2K5?
Sorry about the length of this post, but have tried to be as clear as possible. Also apologise in advance for silly/stupid questions :)
All help and advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Proposed applications, although this probably will mean little, are Dataview (club membership) Peterborough (payroll) and Positive (HR).
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hey guys, my first post so here goes...
I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to write a program (or download a program) that pretends its a sql server and listens for connections, so that when an app thinks its sending its connection string to a server, its sending it to the locally installed program, so that you can get the UID and password from the connection string.
I'm working at a company where we need to write an extension to the software we use but we don't know the login to use for it. These programs are horribly designed. If you run it with the net card disabled it dumps the connection string to the screen but of course it has the UID and pass starred out. Any thoughts?
I'm struggling to connect to my SQL server whilst running a dot net application which is located on a network drive.
the program will run perfectly from my c drive, but as soon as i move the program file on to the network, it no longer recognises my windows permissions, and does not connect to the database.
can someone help?
is there some code that i need to add to my dot net code?
I have SQL Server 2000 with databases on the NetApps filer CIFS share.For example, the datafiles are located at \network shareserversharemicrosoftsqlservermssqldata...Whenever there is a filer failover, some of the databases go in suspectmode. Is there a setting on SQL Server like a time out setting from thenet apps that can be modified so that the databases will wait for awhile before going into the suspect mode?Raziq.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Does anyone know where can i find some windows or web applications using ssis for manipulations?
If a user's pc needs to run 2 different applications (sold by 2 different vendors) and one must be 6.5 and the other must be 7.0, are there any problems with the client machine?
My understanding is that each of the apps comes with the pieces it needs to connect. I'm trying now to reach the tech types at the vendors and ask what kind of custom setup (if any) is needed on a user workstation or if the install does everything. If they come with their own dlls and odbc data sources, might all be well?
Does anyone have apps loaded on a desktop that connects to both a 6.5 and a 7.0?
Thanx,
Dick Scherrer
most articles I read suggest that apps need to retry upon failure in a mirrored environment, using a different connection string, not worrying a whole lot about waiting for the retry. But I heard somewhere that the original connection string can also contain info about the mirrored db, thus eliminating the need to use two different connection strings, and perhaps not even needing to retry programatically. Which is correct? I also heard that programatic retry could be required anyway because of some bug involving the "first" failure and disappearance of a connection pool. Can someone just provide the 50,000 foot view of what it takes to make an app "mirror aware"?
