Sync/Merge Local Sql Compact Databases To Single Global Database

Jun 23, 2007

Hi, I have compact sql databases which will be local on multiple users
devices. Due to space constraints, for one of the tables i have had to use
auto incrementing integer which works fine for the local database but i
would like to merge all of the users databases into a global database. The
table format can be seen below:




Code SnippetCREATE TABLE Players
(
ID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
FirstName NVARCHAR(32),
LastName NVARCHAR(32)
);

CREATE TABLE Sessions
(
ID INTEGER NOT NULL IDENTITY,
PlayerID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER ,
SessionDateTime DATETIME,
CONSTRAINT pkSessions PRIMARY KEY (ID),
CONSTRAINT fkPlayerID FOREIGN KEY (PlayerID) REFERENCES Players(ID)
);

CREATE TABLE SessionDetail
(
SessionID INTEGER,
Time real,
Power real,
CONSTRAINT pkSessionDetail PRIMARY KEY (SessionID,StrokeTime),
CONSTRAINT fkSessionID FOREIGN KEY (SessionID) REFERENCES Sessions(ID)
);



The Players table will merge fine as GUIDs are used. However, how will the
sync capabilities of compact SQL handle the sessions table? When it pushes
the local data to the remote database will it change the Sessions.ID column
to a unique field (as no doubt lots of people will have 1, 2, 3 in their
local databases and the global database must have a unique ID), and then
transfer this changed ID back to the local database? Furthermore, if it
changes the Sessions.ID column during the merge it will also need to update
the SessionDetail.SessionID foreign key to maintain referential integrity,
is this also handled?

So my question is, how much of this sync and data merge is automated and are
there any good examples or pointers for my scenario? I cannot reasonably use
a GUID for Session.ID as there will be lots of SessionDetail entries and the
size would be far too much.

Many thanks,

Chris

How To Sync Local Database With Network Database

Dec 23, 2006

Hi

Scenario: In general user will take database backup from database server to local system. User perform some changes to his local database based on his requirement. Again user connects to database server and click on update, local database should update to server database by informing each record status to the user. ex: record 1 updated / call closed do you want to update?

Here local database is going to be Pocket pc database and server database is on SQLDatabase. Can any one suggest best way to implement this feature in Windows Pocket pc, c#. I would appreciate your reply.

Thanks,

Merge Two Databases In One Database.

Oct 26, 2007

Hi,
I want to share knowledge that we have the abality to merge the two databases in one database. As if your site is already working with data base with out login page. And you are using asp.net built in funtion to create login page there will be a new database will automatically generated with the name of "ASPNETDB.MDF". you will check it in machine.config. If you want to get its data in old one database you only open sdk dos promt and write aspnet_regsql.exe and press enter. A wizard will open for you. in first two wizard you click next without changing it. and in the 3rd page you will enter the database name in which you want to write this ASPNETDB.MDF data. and in the final page you click finished button and close the sdk dos promt.
You should go on web. config file and modify the code for example.<connectionStrings>
<add name="wordexpress" connectionString="server= localhostsqlExpress;Database=wordexpress;Integrated Security=True"providerName="System.Data.sqlClient" />
<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="server= localhostsqlExpress;Database=wordexpress;Integrated Security=True"providerName="System.Data.sqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
And then check your old database you will see that there is new 11 table added.
My question is that I cannot get these table in my old database. I have working with the same procedure. Can any one tell me if there is any mistake from my side.

Merging Two Different SQL Server 2000 Databases With Same Schemas In A Single Database

Jan 7, 2008

Hi,

I have two databases lets say DB1 and DB2.
Schemas for both databases is same.
In both database schemas there are tables which has identity columns as primary key.
Now i want to merge these two databases in a single database say DB3.
It may also possible that some master records in both databases are common so they should not repeat in DB3

Is there any way so that i can do it quickly and as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance

NT Security: Global Vs. Local Groups

Mar 5, 2001

Hello,
In NT MS suggests putting global groups into local groups and then assigning object permissions to those local groups in NTFS. I was wondering if this pattern should be followed in SQL server when assigning permissions to integrated login accounts. Is it better to use global groups or local groups?

Thanks

Local Vs. Global Uniqueness And General Tagability

Jun 17, 2008

So, I have this idea of a database design I was hoping to get some input on.
I usually go through the process of creating a separate column for identity, like an auto-increment integer which serves as a context specific ID that easily can be passed around. However one of the short-comings I've come to realize is that the integer is just that, unique to the context and requires context information to make sense.
I'm pounding the idea of creating a separate table whose sole purpose is to provide global (database wide) unique IDs. As such each row in a table can still have an ID but instead of being tied to a specific context it will always make sense within the application. A foreign key constraint can ensure that and a relation.
Now, with a global ID which I can create FKs to, I don't have to create a separate table for relations between entities and can have relations through these global IDs and I think that's a good thing because if there are many relations between many entities they don't have to be defined more than once. There is also a single "hub" where all relations fit which will allow me to access most information through some relatively simple joins.
My concerns are performance and Linq to SQL implication. I'm worried that Linq to SQL might start pulling an excessive amount of data and I'm worried that the practicality of such a design might hurt the long running of the application development process.
But I'm surprisingly interested in what it could mean for a more ubiquitous view of data and tagging. Basically a way of any data to have relations to any other data through this yet simple design decision.
If you think this is a good idea or see no particular problem with, please let me know! If you think there's problems with my idea, please motivate your critic but do tell me what I should look out for, or if you know of any better approach to my idea of being able to look at the data through some more common mechanism (which applies to all tables and the entire database mostly from a programming perspective).

Problems With Merge Replication To CE Using WEB Sync

Jun 13, 2007

All,

I am trying to configure merge replication to a SQL CE database using web synchronization.

It works if IIS is on the same box as the SQL Server publisher but when I attempt this using separate boxes I get the following message.

Getting this message
Error messages:
· The schema script 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLReplDatauncPUBSERVER_TESTGOLFTEST_TESTGOLFTESTPUBFILTER20070601105864TESTTransType_2.sch' could not be propagated to the subscriber. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147024893)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147024893
· The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message file. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201001)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147201001

I have followed every bit of advice I can find in the MSDN forums, ensuring that the distributor is writing to a UNC and that the perms for the process are correct.

The 2 test servers are not in a domain and I wonder if this is the issue but connectivity between the 2 servers does not appear to be an issue as I am using administrative ids for connectivity for this test.

BOL is all over the place regarding this subject and I am linked out (perhaps the info I need is in there but who can find it?)

Any guidance would be truly appreciated.

Sync'ing A Merge Subscription Before Removal.

Feb 15, 2006

Hi,

is there a way to ensure a merge subscription is synchronised before it is removed from the publisher using SMO? - (it is a push subscription)

I thought I had it as there is a MergeSynchronizationAgent object on the SubscriptionDatabase object, but calling Synchronize() on this throws an exception saying it can't contact the publisher.

Any help would be really appreciated, thanks.

Replication :: Merge Identity Value Out Of Sync

May 16, 2015

We are running merge replication. My identity value was out of sync and the inserts stopped working. I Reseeded the identity value to 1500000 and ran "sp_adjustpublisheridentity" which set that to the new range (and table constraint) in the MSMerge file and table. I discovered my error and Reseeded the table back to 150000. How to I get the new range to be created when it is LESS than 1500000 in the MsMerge file???? Can I use the sp_restoreidentity....???

Please bear with me and allow me to ask a dumbquestion.I am debugging a stored procedure (written in Trans-SQL), and I foundthat the SQL analyzer that I use doesn't have a debugger. All I cando it is execute a block of code and see what is going on in aninteraction seesion of the SQL analyzer. I would need to declare somevariable to hold values of the previous query in the interactivesession.I understand that this can be easily done in a stored procedure viathe Declare command (e.g., Delcare @order_no int).

Merge Replication Schema Sync Problems

Sep 10, 2007


I am using a merge publication set to synchronize schema changes. Why am I getting the following message when I try to sync after having added columns in the publication database using ALTER TABLE statements?

The schema definition of the destination table ... in the subscription database does not match the schema definition of the source table in the publication database. Reinitialize the subscription without a snapshot after ensuring that the schema definition of the destination table is the same as the source table.

Also, why doesn't reinitializing the subscription with @upload_first = false not fix the problem?

Dynamic Query, Local Cursor Variable And Global Cursors

Oct 3, 2006

Hi all.



I am stuck in a bit of a conundrum for quite a while now, and I hope someone here will help me figure this one out.



So, first things first: let me explain what I need to do. I am
designing a web application that will allow users to consult info
available in a SQL2000 database. The user will enter the search
criterea, and hopefully the web page will show matching results.



The problem is the results shown aren't available per se in the DB, I
need to process the data a bit. I decided to do so on the SQL Server
side, though the use of cursors. So, when a user defines his search
criteria, I run a stored procedure that begins by building a dynamic
sql query and creating a cursor for it. I used a global cursor in order
to do so. It looked something like this:



SET @sqlQuery = ... (build the dinamic sql query)

SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE myCursor CURSOR GLOBAL FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery

EXEC @cursorQuery

OPEN myCursor

FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor INTO ...

CLOSE myCursor

DEALLOCATE myCursor



This works fine, if there's only one instance of the
stored procedure running at a time. Should another user connect to the
site and run a search while someone's at it, it'll fail due to the
atempt to create a cursor with the same name.



My first thought was to make the cursor name unique, which led me to:

...

SET @cursorName = 'myCursor' + @uniqueUserID

SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE '+ @cursorName + 'CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery

EXEC @cursorQuery

...



The problem with this is that I can't do a FETCH NEXT FROM @cursorName since
@cursorName is a char variable holding the cursor name, and not a
cursor variable. So to enforce this unique name method the only option
I have is to keep creating dynamic sql queries and exucting them. And
this makes the sp a bitch to develop and maintain, and I'm guessing it
doesn't make it very performant.



So I moved on to my second idea: local cursor variables. The problem with
this is that if I create a local cursor variable by executing a dynamic
query, I can't extract it from the EXEC (or sp_executesql) context, as
it offers no output variable.


I guess my concrete questions are:


Is it possible to execute a dynamic sql query and extract a (cursor) variable from it?Is it possible to populate a local cursor variable with a global cursor, by providing the global cursor's name?Can I create a local cursor variable for a dynamic sql query? How?



Anybody sees another way arround this?Thanks in advance,

Carlos

Is There Any Possibility To Sync Databases Directly?

Aug 31, 2012

Currently our client has a website where they are using aspx as front end and SQL server as back end. We are developing same functionality using php and my sql.Currently 1 phase of development is finished. They are using both applications to do the job. Now in 2nd integration they are asking the data sync from one database to other.

We have decided once the user enters the aspx form the data will be stored in client sql server but we though of writing a script to enter this info into a csv file so that from our side we access that file and update in mysql.

Other than ftp any other better approaches to access that file on client server?Is there any possibility to sync databases directly?

Creating A Local SQL Server Compact Edition DB

Jan 25, 2007

Hi All ...

I'm setting up replication for the 1st time following the steps in the Books Online to get it up and running:


ms-help://MS.SSCE.v31.EN/ssmmain3/html/5a82aa7a-41a3-4246-a01a-2b1e4b2fdfe9.htm.
Anyhow, I get down to the section labeled - Create a new SQL Server Compact Edition database and am having a problem.  I open SQL Server Management Studio as instructed.  I click Connect and then am supposed to select SQL Server Compact Edition - yet can't find that option.
And, yes, I've installed Compact Edition on my development laptop.  So, how do I get this option so that I can create the local DB for Compact Edition and continue development?
UPDATE:
Ok, duh moment, I have SQL Server Management Studio Express loaded on my laptop, so did not have the option.  I've attempted to uninstall SQL Server Management Studio Express and install the full version from the SQL Server CDs.  However, when I go to install the full version it tells me that the management tools are already installed and won't let me install anything.  So, how do I get around this so that I can install full version of SQL Server Management Studio and then get the option to connect to the SQL Server Compact Edition?
Any help will be appreciated.
UPDATE 2:
Ok, figured it out.  You can't just uninstall SQL Server Management Studio express, you must go in to Add/Remove Programs, SQL Server 2005, Change.  Then select to uninstall the Workstation components.  Then you can go use the SQL Server install discs to install the full blown SQL Server Management Studio along with the other Workstation components.
Thanks ...

SQL Server Compact Edition Merge Replication Error

Feb 27, 2007

Hi
I am trying to complete sql server compact edition book online walkthrough "Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Compact Edition". I am successful to complete it as guided using all default settings (e.g. anonymous access, windows authenticaion etc.) and the sample run on both emulator and my pocket pc svc5000. I have following configuration..

Windows 2000 professional sp4
Sql server 2005 standard edition sp1
VS 2005 profesional edition (sp1 not installed)
Sql server compact edition
Sql server compact edition server tools

But the problem is that in production environment i will not be able to connect to the sql server using named instance (e.g machine_nameinstance_name). i have to use ip address in that situation. so i tried to modify the sample to use ip address in place of named instance and then the problem starts.. I have configued my sql server to allow remote connections using tcp/ip and named pipes using sql surface area config tool.

When using named instance i used following code to Synchronize with sqlserver 2005 with and it worked perfectly :

Dim filename As New String("Program FilesTestTest.sdf")
Dim repl As New SqlCeReplication()
repl.InternetUrl = http://machine_name/Test/sqlcesa30.dll
repl.Publisher = "machine_nameinstance_name"
repl.PublisherDatabase = "Test"
repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication
repl.Publication = "Test"
repl.Subscriber = "Test"
repl.SubscriberConnectionString = "Data Source='" + filename + "';Password='';Max Database Size='128';Default Lock Escalation ='100';"
Try
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase)
repl.Synchronize()
Catch err As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString)
End Try

When i tried to do replication using ip address it shows following error:

System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException was unhandled

I don't have any idea on where i am wrong... Please help soon..

SQL Server Compact Edition Cannot Connect To Big Databases

Sep 24, 2007

In my IPAQ, I have been using SQL CE for databases with various sizes without any problem. I am creating the databases on my desktop using VS 2005. After I moved to VISTA, I have upgraded my VS 2005 to SP1 and SQL CE to 3.1. My databases which were created before worked without any problem. After I have created my databases via 3.1 on the desktop and moved them to Mobile, I had problems.

1. I specify Max database size parameter as the size of the database
2. If the size of the database is smaller than 16 then I specify 128
3. If the database is old version then program runs without any problems whatever the database size is
4. If the database is created with 3.1 and size is small (20MB, 60MB, etc) no problems arise
5. Ä°f the databse is created with 3.1 and size is large (133MB, 174MB) then dbconnection.Open() command runs indefinitely and program hangs up .

My IPAQ runs "Microsoft Pocket PC Version 4.20.1081" and desktop runs VISTA Home Premium. I have installed VS 2005 SP1.

Creating And Using SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Databases

Jan 17, 2007

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

Is 2005 Merge Replication Reliable For Compact Edition Subscribers On WinXP Tablets Over VPN?

Oct 24, 2007


I posted a more detailed technical question a couple of weeks ago
with Subject = "Compact Edition 2005 Subscribers - Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based cleanup has deleted metadata"
But I got no replies.

Now my question is simpler: Is SQL Server 2005 Merge Replication reliable with Compact Edition subscribers on WindowsXP tablets?

We deleted all users' local databases a couple of weeks ago, and republished two publications with retention = 60 days.
Now we have at least one user who can't sync with the server, and replication monitor shows the error below.
But if she e-mails her sdf file to a support person, they can successfully sync her database.
We're sure that it's not a permissions issue, which is a normal suspicion when one user can perform a task that another can not.
It doesn't seem like a retention problem, because she's well inside the retention period.
She can successfully sync with the publication with upload/download tablers, but not with the publication with download only tables. Both publications were created on the same day, by the same DBA, with nearly identical properties.

This problem user has operated in the past with no problem, and she's configured identically to all of the others. It just seems like random flakyness with merge replication for Compact Edition subscribers.

I feel stupid saying that, because it sounds like I believe in a magical ghost in the machine. So my question is - IS MERGE REPLICATION A LITTLE BIT FLAKY FOR COMPACT EDITION SUBSCRIBERS ON XP MACHINES?


We've applied SP2 to the server, but no subsequent HotFixes.

We're trying to sell users and management on developing a larger occasionally connected system with the same replication scheme, so we need to know if it deserves our confidence.


Error messages:

The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Publisher for changes not yet sent to the Subscriber. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload). (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199402)

A Curious Error Message, Local Temp Vs. Global Temp Tables?!?!?

Nov 17, 2004

Hi all,

Looking at BOL for temp tables help, I discover that a local temp table (I want to only have life within my stored proc) SHOULD be visible to all (child) stored procs called by the papa stored proc.

However, the following code works just peachy when I use a GLOBAL temp table (i.e., ##MyTempTbl) but fails when I use a local temp table (i.e., #MyTempTable). Through trial and error, and careful weeding efforts, I know that the error I get on the local version is coming from the xp_sendmail call. The error I get is: ODBC error 208 (42S02) Invalid object name '#MyTempTbl'.

Here is the code that works:SET NOCOUNT ON

CREATE TABLE ##MyTempTbl (SeqNo int identity, MyWords varchar(1000))
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your second long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('put your really, really LONG message (yeah, every guy says his message is the longest...whatever!')
DECLARE @cmd varchar(256)
DECLARE @LargestEventSize int
DECLARE @Width int, @Msg varchar(128)
SELECT @LargestEventSize = Max(Len(MyWords))
FROM ##MyTempTbl

SET @cmd = 'SELECT Cast(MyWords AS varchar(' +
CONVERT(varchar(5), @LargestEventSize) +
')) FROM ##MyTempTbl order by SeqNo'
SET @Width = @LargestEventSize + 1
SET @Msg = 'Here is the junk you asked about' + CHAR(13) + '----------------------------'
EXECUTE Master.dbo.xp_sendmail
'YoMama@WhoKnows.com',
@query = @cmd,
@no_header= 'TRUE',
@width = @Width,
@dbuse = 'MyDB',
@subject='none of your darn business',
@message= @Msg
DROP TABLE ##MyTempTbl

The only thing I change to make it fail is the table name, change it from ##MyTempTbl to #MyTempTbl, and it dashes the email hopes of the stored procedure upon the jagged rocks of electronic despair.

Any insight anyone? Or is BOL just full of...well..."stuff"?

LOCAL USER Vs GLOBAL USER Set In Agent Service

Oct 6, 2006

My replication is not working. I was able to create a transactional replication successfully. However, when i tried starting the agent on the snapshot, it wouldn't work. I figure that it was because my agent service login is different from that of the subscriber. my publisher and distributor is on local user whereas my subsciber sql services use our global login.



Thank you in advance. Good day!

Login For Domain Local Group And Global Group

Jan 5, 2008

I have one domoain in the forest. The domain level is set to Windows 2000 native mode and forest level is set to mixed mode. My SQL server 2005 server joined to this domain. I added a brand new domain local group and add a normal user account to this domain local group. I login to the SQL server 2005 server and make a query "SELECT * FROM sys.login_token". I cannot see my domain local group in sys.login_token. However, if I add my account to a global group, I can see it there.

Then, I setup another forest. This time, I have domain level set to Windows 2003 mode and forest level is set to Windows 2003 native mode. I do the same testing. This time, I can see my domain local group in sys.login_token.

Why does SQL server 2005 has this limitation? Is it a bug?
