I will have to setup two windows 2000 servers at separate locations. Each server will host the MS SQL 2000 database. The data on both database will need to be in sync in real time. Is it possible to do? If yes, any suggestions of how do do it?
I do a merge replication between Sql server 2000 and SQLCE 2.0
On my SQL2000 I have 4 tables i want to merge (specific columns only ) in 1 table for Merge with my SQLCe ( the table will be use for read only)
Question 1: What is the best pratice for keep the information update? Run store procedure before the synch for re-populate the table?:confused: or Make Trigger INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE in the all 4 table?:confused: or a mixte?:confused:
Question 2: Does someone know about some web site talk about this type of trick?
Is it possible to use SSIS to synchronize the data between a Foxpro .dbf and a compatible SQL Server table on a near realtime basis?
I have succesfully created an SSIS package that will insert data into the SQL Server Table but this is only useful for migrating data. What I need is a way to insure that the data in the SQL Server table matches that in the .dbf on a near realtime basis.
Or is there a way to link from SQL Server to the .dbf (similar to an Oracle DBLink).
ISSUE: While synchronizing data between the PDA and MS SQL Server database, using Active Sync connection, the sync process fails at times and displays an empty error message box and occasionally it shows the following exception: Error During Synchronization: A native exception occurred. ExceptionCode:0xc0000005 ExceptionAddress:0x01627b28 Reading: 0x1e000000 OK to terminate CANCEL to debug Moreover the .SDF file on the PDA gets corrupted. The ActiveSync connection drops as soon as the sync process fails. Later when the .SDF file is deleted and restored the synchronization is successful. Note: The replication monitor in the SQL Server indicates that the synchronization was successful even when the above error occurs.
Im working on a project. This program will run off of a sql 2005 database. The company that we are selling this too uses sql 2000. They will end up using both. They will enter their data as usual, into the sql 2000, and then I need to get that data from 2000 to the 2005 database, anytime a transaction occurs, I need that transaction to also occur in the 2005 database. The 2000 DB has 4 tables. These 4 tables are split up into different ones in 2005, so I will need to map it just right. (This may sound dumb, but it is what they want so what are ya gonna do?) My question, is there an easy way for sql 2000 to communicate with 2005. I planned on making a trigger in 2000, that triggers a web service, that reads from 2000 and maps it into the right tables in 2005. Is this the best option or are their others Im not thinking of .... thanks.
I want to synchronize sql 2005 CE edition with SQL 2000.before this i was using sql ce 2.0 and i manage to synchronize with sql 2000.the codes which i used for synch i am specifying below.

Private Const PUBLISHERSERVER As String = "IHSAN"
Private Const PUBLISHERDATABASE As String = "THPMIS"
Private Const PUBLISHERSECURITYMODE As SecurityType = SecurityType.NTAuthentication
Private Const PUBLICATION As String = "THPMIS"
Private SUBSCRIBER As String = Dns.GetHostName()
Private Const LOCALDATABASE As String = "My DocumentsTHPMIS.sdf"
while i am using sql 2000 with sql CE 2005 it is giving an error unknown connection option in connectionstring:provider. can any one give me some suggession how to solve this problem
Hi I have two servers, on one i have SQL Server 2000 ( root ) and on the second SQL Server 2005. I need synchronize some data ( not the whole database ) on 2005 but i can't use Analysis Services . What i can do in this situation ?
I have several situations where I have values stored in multiple tables (yes, I know that isn't a good practice but it is my reality) and I need to make sure that they stay consistent.
The problem is, they can be (and frequently are) updated from both locations.
I was going to use an update trigger on each to update the other but I can see that causing potential deadlocks.
Surely I am not the first person with this problem but I haven€™t been able to find anything in the help files or on the forum.
- 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 SQL user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect.
hi..need help here, I sometime get error when syncronizing data at New Subscription Wizard, and sometime I dont.but right now i cant sync, this is me error messages : "Synchronizing Data (Error) Messages A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information, see HRESULT. HRESULT 0x80070002 (28037)
The operation could not be completed."
I've turn off the firewall, turn off the antivirus, plug the LAN cable but still error (Maybe it has to do with it).A long time a go I've had this error, and then I decided to reinstall SQL Server and try it again and it work, now it back to me again, do I have to reinstalled it again(hopefully it solved my problem)?or any otherway?
And want to ask about SQL Mobile, When I choose the Merge, the uniqueidentifier will be add at my table right?what should I do at inserting query process, I cant just insert it with NULL value right? After my subscription doing input data, is it my publications will be automatic updated? I'm little lost here..need advise
I tried to subscribe to the database that is published on my laptop running on windows XP professional SP2 and using SQL Server 2005. However, in the second step (synchronizing data) the following error message occured:
Synchronizing Data (Error)
Messages
A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information, see HRESULT. HRESULT 0x80072EE2 (28037)
I am trying to set up replication between a central office and multiple sites. This will be merge repl, since either central or satellites can be modified. However, one issue I ran into is setting up subscribers. I don't always have the option of starting with a publisher's snapshot; some of the subscribers have their own data already, which may or may not overlap with central site, and which needs to be synchronized into the central site somehow.
So far, I haven't seen any solution for this kind of scenario, at least nothing out of the box. Am I doomed to having to roll out custom data transfers (I don't think I can use DTS since all sites are running Express), or is there some standard way of doing this?
I have some questions about the MSDN article "Step by Step: Developing a SQL Mobile Application with Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005" (it is msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa454892.aspx).
Everything works good up to Exercise 3: Synchronizing Data Between Any Backend Database and SQL Mobile Database Using a Web Service. It is said that we need a DataService.asmx file to be enetered into "Web reference name". Unfortunately I can't find the HOL302_SQL_Mobile to download and install this file. Where I can find this file?
Can anyone tell me how can I do such a replication(C#)?
How can I synchronise data from mobile device to SQL Server using GPRS connection? (I only know replicating over USB).
I am currently upgrading our ppc app (written in .net 2003) to .net 2005 and from sqlce 2.0 to 3.0. The new application runs out memory(storage) when handling lots of data transactions (both in case of using sqlcedatareader, and dataset ). There is no memory leak issue here, sqlce 3.0 simply uses a lot more (3 times more) memory than sqlce 2.0.
Our applicaton runs fine using sqlce 2.0 and .net 2003, but fail due to memory shortage
with the upgrades(which has the same code). Anyone can shed some lights on this issue?
Hi, I have a problem that I have never considered before. I am developing with C#.Net, Visual Studio.Net ans SQL Server on Windows Server 2003. Recently we have been upgrading our servers and have installed 2 servers (Live and Dev). The live server is Win Server 2003 Standard while the Dev server is 2003 enterprise. Both servers are running their own versions of SQL Servers (both 2002). What I need to know, is there a way to copy or 'sync' the dev database to the live without over-writing the live data. I need to be able to copy the dev db structure (the tables anf fields) but not over-write the live data with the dev data (the live data changes rapidly and none can be lost). These 'syncs' would happen 2-3 times a month so the 2 db's, at the time of sync, will look very different so a simple copy of the live data to the dev db is not possible. Does SQL Server have a wizard or utility? I have not been able to find one. Thanks, Justin
Hi,Is it possible to make changes to an Access 2000 database on my desktop, andhave it update those changes to SQL Server 2000 on the web?I have to update stock and prices every night. Right now I am using Access2000, and I just make the changes, and then upload the changed db to theserver, and overwrite the old db.But I am going to be using SQL Server 2000 soon, and I know you don't justoverwrite the db each time.There are about 6 fields that *might* change each night, per record.Is it called replication? How (basically) do I go about it? Are thereprograms out there that will make it easier?Thanks for any advice!J~
I have a potential client who wants to run three web sites at different locations, each storing data to SQL Server (let's say it will be SQL Server 2005, for the sake of argument). Periodically, but at least once a day, they would like all changes to be made in any server to be reflected in the other two.
As a develeoper, my initial approach would be to write web services that can transmit and recieve changes. Triggers on the database tables would copy data into "shadow" tables and then the web services would periodically wake up and send their changes to the other two servers.
However, before I go down this route, I wondered if any of the standard SQL Server tools (like SSIS) would handle this scenario (maybe with an agent FTPing files between the servers)?
Alternatively, does anyone know of any off-the-shelf partner solutions that can acheive the same result?
Can someone recommend a utility (preferably open-source) tosynchronize changes across servers? I need to bring only data over insome cases, and only objects in other cases. Any ideas?Thx!
Hi All, I have just installed SQL Server Compact Edition (including the SDK) for use with Borland Developer Studio 2006. I have an ADOConnection component on my form, but the Provider I want (Microsoft.SQLSERVER.MOBILE.OLEDB.3.0) is not available. Typing in the connection string: "Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.MOBILE.OLEDB.3.0;Data Source=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.1SDKSamplesNorthwind.sdf..." results in an "Unspecified Error". I have checked the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID and the provider associated with SQLCE is not there. I've read a couple of posts indicating that it should have been registered during install. Is this the case or do I have to do something more to register this provider? I've checked the assembly (system.data.sqlserverCe - it seems OK) and re-registered sqlceolebd30.dll. I'm not sure what else needs to be done. TIA, Luke
I have an application where I'm trying to store xml data in a db field defined as ntext. I have a dataset and table adapter setup in VSNet 2005 and SqlCe 3.1. When I look at the table adapter in the VS designer it shows the field with a type of String and a size of 2147483647 which appears to be correct. Also, if I look at the code generated by the MSDataSetGenerator tool it shows the parameter defined in the same way as in the following param = new System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@Questions"; param.Size = 2147483647; param.IsNullable = true; param.SourceColumn = "Questions"; this._commandCollection[2].Parameters.Add(param);
My problem is that when I run the application and try to insert an item into this column the application throws an exception related to corrupted memory. Trying to debug the problem I found at run time, the param.Size value for the ntext parameter had been set to 255. Since the specific xml I was trying to insert was 410 characters in length I'm guessing that this is what is causing the crash.
Is the expected behavior (the setting of the size to 255 that is)? If not, am I missing some trick here?
We are building a near real time application in Windows Forms, that stores data in SQL Compact Edition. The client receives messages via UDP socket and performs insert / update operations to the db accordingly, and the requirement is to update a data grid with the changes.
We tried querying the db and receive a ResultsSet which is sensitive and scrollable, and bind a ResultSetView to the Grid. But, since the updates are made from another thread, the grid is not being refreshed.
What is the best approach for achieving this?
Thanks in advance,

Does anyone have any instructions on how to go about uprading a .sdf file from sqlce 2.0 to sqlce 3.0?
I found this on an msdn website (link: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/sqlmobile/upgrading.mspx) but as you can see its very lacking on detail. (I included the link and content referring to upgrading the database files so you won't have to go to the link to see the part referring to upgrading the database.) I tried to run the upgrade.exe on my device but it doesn't explain how you're supposed to point it to the .sdf that you are trying to update. Here is the content on the above web page.
Upgrading Database Files You can upgrade a database created with an earlier version of SQL Server CE 2.0 to a database created with SQL Server Mobile by using the SQL Server Mobile Database Upgrade tool (upgrade.exe). The Database Upgrade tool runs on a smart device.
When you run the SQL Server Mobile Database Upgrade tool, the new SQL Server Mobile database is created on the smart device. The new database, with the file name extension .sdf, contains all the data that was in the source database. You need to reinitialize the upgraded database to continue using it for replication.
Note: If you are using replication or remote data access (RDA) as a connectivity solution before upgrading to SQL Server Mobile, you must synchronize the source SQL Server CE database (subscription database) with the SQL Server database (Publisher). The reason for synchronizing before upgrading to SQL Server Mobile is to ensure that any changes that exist in the tables on the SQL Server CE database are updated on the SQL Server database, because after the upgrade you must resubscribe or repull using the new database.
Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael
Hi, I worked on a project in ASP.NET using SQL server 2000 as the back end. Its a conversion application that I rewrote in ASP.NET using C#. I need to import the old data in Access db into SQL server 2000 and I have very little knowledge about doing it. The data in not a direct one -one transformation. There are considerable changes to the Database design and data types. Any help and suggestions wud be really helpful. Also, any article links wud be great.
hi I am new in SQLCE and I am trying to run SQLCE SERVER... I have already downloaded the software and installed it as server on my computer... I have checked the services running on my system but could not find SQLCE server, I don't know what is wrong with it and don't know what to do with SQLCE server .. I will be glad if any one would tell me what to do... thanks.......
I want to connect sqlce 2.0 to sql server 2005. From "Connectivity Tools for SQL Server Compact, SQL Server Mobile, SQL Server 2000, and SQL Server 2005", I know I should install sql server 2005 without the replication components. I do it, then i find i can not create publication. Without replication, how can i synchronize between sqlce 2.0 and sql server2005?
Hi,I have 2 tables (let's call them tableOld and tableNew) that I'm trying to synchronize. The tables may or may not be on the same server (I'm not sure - let's assume they're on different servers).Given below is the table structures:******************************************************************************* tableOld ------------- tableOld uses a View to access name information.View name = vwUserDetailsColumns in View = Firstname, Lastname, Fullname tableNew--------------- ProjectManagerID (PK, int, not null) <-- autogeneratedFName (varchar(50), null)LName (varchar(50), null)Inactive (int, null) *********************************************************************** Basically, I'm trying to write a script so that when a user runs the script that will do something like this: 1) it will add all the names in tableOld to tableNew (only if they don't already exist in tableNew)2) if there is a name in tableNew that does not exist in tableOld (because the name was deleted from tableOld), tableNew will set Inactive = 1 for that name. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.P.S. Is there a way the script can run automatically any time a user adds or deletes a name from tableOld?
