I'm working on an application that will be running on two or more machines. Each machine is logging data to a local SQL Compact database. I would like to make these two computers sync the data with eachother, but I am unsure what the best method is to transfer data between machines in a table format. I think XML would work well, but there may be something easier, so I thought I'd ask. Do I want to use sockets to do this, or is there another type of connection that would work better?
All PCs will know the IP addresses of their peers. I forsee each PC having a server thread that is listening all the time. Each PC also has a client that checks to see if it can connect to the server on the other side. It then requests certain data, which the server part sends. Does this sound right?
The rest of the app is in Visual Basic 2008 Express.
hello everyone, i am developing a application using C#and .NEt compact framework. for that i need to sync pda data (in xml format) with the remote database server(SQL) and vice versa. please help me out thanks in advance.
I've stepped into a new environment and have never dealt with multiple data files on user databases only with Temp db.What would be the best way to get all my data files in sync. I have done this on databases that aren't that big in size or off in size by a lot. Here is what I have
we currently have a web server/db on-site and a similar backup machine across the country. we're using a pretty bad backup strategy. we zip up a backup file, thats done on the main server every night, then ftp over to the back up server then run a restore.
lately ive been having problems with the main server. i would like to have the machines sync'd up as close as possible.
ive searched the threads and noticed replication and log shipping to be the most practical, but im assuming most of the machines are on the same domain.
what would be my best bet for machines connected over the internet, no vpn?
also the db on the main machine get queried/inserts all day from 7am - 6:30pm
I have two databases data1(Express 2005) and data2( Enterprise 2005). Data1 is a subset of Data2. Now beginning from that state any changes to either database should be reflected on both of them. Now what's my best solution to accomplish this considering one is the subset of other??

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.

SQL Database Schema Sync We have development and production databases, when we change database schema in development database how can I synchronize it to production without creating data problems in production, is this possible in SQL2005? Or any external tool I can use?
I need to keep the data in my development server and production server in sync.....What is the best way to do this?Remember for example development data may have some addition columns in a table which may not exist in production.....Pls let me know how can i achieve this.
I cannot apply backups because i will loose the ongoing development ....
Hi,We are going to be running two SQL Server 2000's from the samephysical server, with Windows Server 2003, and I need to have certaintables between them syncronized. Database A is a backend to a website anddatabase B is going to be used by a different department. Both thedatabases have certain data in common but it isn't stored in the sameformat. I can't just auto sync one with the other, the data (records) hasto be manipulated before updates between them can take place.So, what I need to do is convert certain data when A is updated and tranferthat to B and vice-versa, in real-time. I've looked at Snapshot, thatisn't an option. I imagine some kind of Event Driven API is needed, wheredo i being?TIA
Ok..here is my problem. I have two SQL servers that I need to haveidentical, at least semi-real time data on. One is in a public DMZwith full access to and from the internet, and one is behind acorporate firewall and the box can get out to the internet but cannotbe hit directly from the internet in. The two are on seperatenetworks and cannot be connected via lan. Is there a way for me tohave semi-real time data transfers between the two to keep bothservers identical? I have thought that the server behind the firewallcould initiate an XML session with my dmz sql server and processupdates, but I am unfamiliar with how it would know what has changedon the remote server and how the remote server would know what haschanged on the server behind the corporate firewall. Any good ideas?ThanksDan Hirsch
I have a software written in C#, using RDA to sync access database from desktop. But it is tricky that some time during "Pull" data from SQL Server Agent, my PDA tell me "A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information, see HRESULT".
This also happening when I try to unplug the ethernet cable from my desktop however the push and pull actions did not required to go through internet.
Here are part of my codes m_intdb = new SqlCeRemoteDataAccess("http://desk01:1024", "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inttemp.mdb; Jet OLEDB:System Database=C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Access\System.MDW");
m_intdb.InternetUrl = "http://desk01:1024"; m_intdb.LocalConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inttemp.mdb; Jet OLEDB:System Database=C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Access\System.MDW""; m_intdb.Pull("pulltest", "SELECT * from pullTest", "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inttemp.mdb; Jet OLEDB:System Database=C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Access\System.MDW", RdaTrackOption.TrackingOff, "Err_PullTest");
and the error message look like A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information, see HRESULT.
I have 3 SQL databases: A, B and C. A and B are branch databases while C is the central (HQ) database. A & B will be constantly updated while C will updated occasionally and usually will be used for reporting/data browsing. Even though A & B are from different branch, they do have share some data records.
Every day, I will have to sync A & B's new/updated data to C and C to A/B. I know I can use Replication but I can't. You see, A & B are located in our own branch server while C was hosted on a third-party server. The webserver provider for C would not allow me to do any Replication on C.
What other alternatives that I can use to synchronise all 3?
DTS? XML transfer? It looks as if I have no choice but to write my own sync scripts? :((
Anyone has encountered similar situations? Any recommended SQL Tool programs?
Please help. I'm at a loss of what Im going to do.
thanks 4 ur rpl..well i have a simple doubt if u can guide me it will b gr8 help..well i am developing an application of location based services, in which i am going to store my data on SQLserver 2005 and will fetch the data from it when the user logs in to the user's PDA device so that a user can work offline on the data when there is no connection and when he gets the connection he can synchronize the data with SQLserver 2005. so now i m confuse whether i should use the merge replication or ado.net synchronization framework or RDA?what is the difference between merge replication and synchronization and which is better?

I'm working with a legacy database whose structure I cannot change. I'm building a web-based editor for one of the DB's tables. This table has a Primary Key called "Master_Idx" that is an Identity (autonumber) field.To start, I query the DB and populate a data table which is cached. This is used to "feed" the web form. Any additions, changes, and deletions are reflected in this cached table.The user then has the flexibility to press Save at any time, which ensures that the database is modified accordingly.Here's my question:When new records are added, I assign them a Master_Idx value, the first of which was calculated to be 1 + the Max(Master_Idx) value when the editing session started. But when I insert these records back into the database it's possible that another user might have also been doing similar editing (of different records from the same table), so there's no guarantee that the Master_Idx values in the data table will be identical to those in the DB. When I insert a record from the cached table back into the DB, what technique can I use to check what value was assigned to the Master_Idx? If it's not the same as in the cached table then I need to update it locally in a few places.I hope all of this makes sense but if it doesn't then let me know and I'll explain it in another way.Robert W.
How Sync the user and password from my Active Directory, to a SQL Database. Actually, my environment have a database with users and password added, my custom applications uses it like a passport, but now I want to use Active Directory to control these users, but I can't use windows authentication in my old apps. I was reading about Forefront Identity Manager to do this, but I need a free solution. The Sharepoint database sync user credentials with AD?
I have SQL Server 2000 and 2005 running on the same server. My current system is in SQL Server 2000 and the new system is in SQL Server 2005. My users will be using SQL Server 2000 for the most part, But for the part the processes that have been migrated to 2005, they will be using SQL Server 2005 as well. The database schema is different on both servers eventhough the data will be similar in most respects.
Is there is a way through which any data that is inserted/updated in SQL Server 2000 via content Management System/ manually/ via a batch job, the data is automatically populated in SQL Server 2005 tables or vice versa?
I need some assistence here.I have two servers.

Is there a easyway to do this?I don't know how to accomplish this task.PLEASE HELP.
I have the merge replication (Push)Â for SQL Server 2008.The right-click option for Start and Stop Synchronizing in subscriptions has been disabled. How can I stop the merge replication and start again ?
This error happened 1 week after I created the merge replication. The merge data cannot sync to subscriber and only solution I can use is drop and re-create the merge replication again but error would be re-occur a week later. The merge replication work fine before and start from middle on May 2015, but it keep happen right now.
I want to have an application like a web front end on a pda where customer details can be added into a database. Then later the user connects to the internet and sync the pda database with the database on the server. I want the infomation from the pda database to update the data on the server database.
I know this is a big question but any help would be appreciated.

I currently use Access and have found that I need to migrate to SQL Server. I need setting it up.
Currently, I have multiple computers (home, office, laptop, etc.). On each of these computers, I have a folder which syncs via Dropbox. In this folder, I have my Access database which allows me to read/write to the Access database from any computer, and these changes are automatically synced to all the other computers via Dropbox.
I have installed the SQL Server database in the Dropbox folder then installed Management Studio on each computer. But only the computer which did the database install can link to the the SQL Server database. The other Management Studios cannot see the database.
Is there a way to achieve what I am after or is this a limitation of SQL Server? I do not want to have to manage a network or anything.
I have set up a merge replication with 4 subscribers and a publisher on SS05 sp2 on 5 window servers. After running my application on the replication with big data for a while, the data in some of tables of subscriber are out of sync from the publisher. I tried to run sp_resyncmergesubscription to fix the problem according to http://doc.ddart.net/mssql/sql2000/html/replsql/replmon_9pwh.htm. The procedure run successfully. However, the problem is still exist.
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) );
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.
Hi to every one. For two years i am syncing sucessfully sql server 2.0 datas to sql server 2000 now i want to upgrade to sql server 2005. I am using Visual Studio 2005 for developing. Can any one tell the best method available to sync the data from mobile device to sql server 2005.
Also i have os win2003 standard in which i have installed sql server 2005 Does win2003 support mobile device connections with sql ?
Hi Forum, Ive been unsuccessfully trying to copy data from one table to another, very simple scenerio! Table1 ID(PK), FirstName, Mobile, Date. Table2 FirstName, Mobile. The first question I have is should I fill Table2 at the insert stage OR should/do I update Table2 from Table1 as the users details are entered. ie create some kind of relationship. Really appreciate good advice! cheers P
I have two db instances on different SQL Servers. One is my test db and the other the prod. db. Each has two tables that hold lookUp values for the entire application. I would like to keep these tables in sync. in both dbs. The prod. db would be the master. I was trying to design a trigger to insert, update, or delete the appropriate records in the test db as they were added or deleted from the prod db. I'm getting too many prefixes errors on the script when trying to reference the table on the test db using four part naming convention. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Do I need to set up a linked server to accomplish this functionality? If so, how do I setup security for a linked server? Thanks in advance. Oscar
I have a SQL 7 backup file that I restored onto a new server. All the objects within the database are not owned by dbo, instead they are owned by a db user. When I tried to login to the db it said that it wasn't a valid user. So I added the login to the system. Now when I login it says it is not a valid db user. I have attempted to sync the id's but don't know how. In 6.5 I could run an ad-hoc query to match the SUID's for the system and the database. In 7.0 I can not because the suid for the db is computed. Any ideas on how to sync the user ID's so that I can login to the server using the target db as my default and can query the table with prefacing the owner(I can get in if I give my login SA privelages but then I have to preface all the objects with the owners name)?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.
