Trying To Open A SQL Compact DB In VB2005 (created It In VB2008)...
Apr 25, 2008
Hi,
I started working with Visual Basic 2008 and created a local database that I would like to use in a Visual Basic 2005 project.
When I attempt to open the local .sdf file, I get the following error:
"You are trying to access an older version of SQL Server Compact Edition database. If this is a SQL Server CE 1.0 or 2.0 database, run upgrade.exe. If this is a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.0 or later database, run Compact/Repair. [Db version=3505053, Requested version=3004180...."
Where do I find upgrade.exe or the Compact/Repair utility?
Are there any other migration tools you would recommend?

I'm a college student working on a database project using MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
The program (SQL SMSEE) is installed on both the computers in class and on two of my computers at home. The first installation resulted in the "remote connections" error. No matter what I do, I can't get the program to fully load. So I tried installing on another computer at home. The second installation went well. Didn't do anything different from the first installation, but any hoo....................
My 2-week old problem is this - I save my database that I do in class on my thumbdrive. Last class, I saved all the files that had my database's name on it on my thumbdrive--.mdf, .log, .bak, etc. On the second home computer, I cannot open the databases that I work on at school. Even my professor is stumped on this one.
Here is what I'm doing......
After I connect to the server, I right-click "Databases" then left-click "Restore Database".
In the "To database" box, I enter the name of the database, as I saved it at school.
In the "To a point in time" box, I leave the default "Most recent possible" entry.
I select "From device" as the location of backup and click the "..." button. The file is on my thumbdrive, so I click "Add" and select the location on my usb (with the .bak extension) and click OK.
I pick the most recent file checkbox and click "OK".
The green progress circle goes to 50% and then gets stuck. The database never opens and the Object Explorer shows the database name followed by "(Restoring...)". So if I try to do anything else with it, I get an error message stating the database in the middle of a restore and that I have to wait until its done. Well, of course it never finishes.
Please help me. Right now I am stuck doing duplicate work at home and at school and am making little to no progress. The final project is due on 26 March and right now I only have my tables, a few attributes and a couple of relationships. And I have a LOT more work to do.
Which tool can I use for structure editing of SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases? I'm installed SQL Server Compact 3.5. I have SQL Server Management Studio Express which was installed with SQL Server 2005 Express. Unfortunately this SSMS can create and open only 3.1 databases.
I am writing a program where I will be calculating some values that need to be sent to an SQL Database row by row. I am new to SQL Database programming and I was wondering what I need to include in my program as far as declarations, and data adapter connections in order to accomplish this. Or is it enough to already be connected to my database via a manual data connection? I also need to know some of the basic commands for inserting a new row, and adding data under existing columns, prior to moving on to the next row and repeating the process. If you can point me to a basic example that demonstrates this, including how to properly close out my database, I would appreciate it. If you know of a good VB2008 SQL Database book that covers all the basic & some advanced SQL Database programming, I would be interested in that as well. For Example: Row# Name CalcA CalcB CalcC CalcD 1 ? ? ? ? ? 2 ? ? ? ? ? Etc€¦ Thanks. Techno Visual Studio Express 2008 user
I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and Microsoft SQL Server Database (or CE 3.5), and I need to be able to:
Create an open connection
Insert rows of data
Read rows of data
Delete rows of data
Close and dispose of the connection I found some code examples out there, but nothing current and specific to VB2008 and MS SQL SD (or CE). If you could point me to sample code that covers this for the 2008 versions of VB and SQL that would be great! Thanks.Techno
When I start Management Studio I get the following message and a suggestion to change a setting: (I can choose to continue and the system databases appear, but the DB I created does not.) "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. Cannot create a stable subkey under a volitile parent key."
************** JIT Debugging ************** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled. For example: <configuration> <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" /> </configuration> When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box. Any assistance is appreciated.
I have an application written in Visual Basic 2008, using a SQL Express 2008 database. This application runs in several locations on stand-alone PC's and there is no network connecting them. I have to maintain a SQL database in a central location an would like to be able to distribute updated tables from that central location by using an USB stick and replace the tables of the same name in the different locations with the updated ones on my USB stick. This I would like to do using code within my VB2008 application.
Can someone please help me on the way to achieve this. Is it possible to give some concrete code examples, as I am a newbie as a SQL Server user.
I have a sql2005 express database I am using in a vb2005 application. I have read a bunch and can't seem to find a clear (to me) example of how to call a stored procedure. I have a procedure that runs ok in the query builder, but don't have a clue about how to call it now that it is written. SO. call the database MYdatabase call the Stored procedure MYStoredproc. Any help? Dave PS: it dosen't require and values passed to it, its very simple.
trying to get a new database created then running a script to created the tables, relationships, indexes and insert default data. All this I'm making happen during the installation of my Windows application. I'm installing SQL 2012 Express as a prerequisite of my application and then opening a connection to that installed SQL Server using Windows Authentication.Â
E.g.: Data Source=ComputerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI; Then I run a query from my code to create the database eg: "CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName]".
From this point I run a script using a Batch file containing "SQLCMD....... Myscriptname.sql". In my script I have my tables being created using "Use [MyDatabaseName]   Go  CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTableName] .....". So question is, should I have [dbo]. as part of my Create Table T-SQL commands? Can I remove "[dbo]."? Who would be the owner of the database? If I can remove the [dbo]., should I also remove dbo. from any query string from within my code?
Im used to using access and now im gonna switch to sql server 2005 express. My program is coded in Visual basic 2005 where all connection is made to the access database by oledb.
Now when im creating the database in management studio express, ive noticed that there is no boolean datatype, but instead there is a bit datatype.
Is this the one to use, and would the bit datatype accept true/false values when sending sql commands? In visual basic2005 i think that it uses 0 for true and -1 for false or something like that, so when switchin database i would have to recode quite a bit.
Ok, I'm using vb2005 express and I know that the reportviewer control has to be added and reports can't be designed from the IDE. So, I downloaded the business intelligence studio and I can design a report that looks like just what I want. What I can't seem to do is add that report to the application I'm developing. I don't want to use a report server - I want to use the report with client side processsing. I'm wondering if this is possible and if so how? When I try to add that .rdl file or rename it to a .rdcl file to my project I'm not allowed to do so. Any thoughts?
I am using VS 2005 to develop a Pocket PC 2003 application and for some reason I dont have the ability to assign my datasource to a SQL Mobile Database?
When opening Server Explorer, right clicking Data Connection, Add New Data Source, Change Data Source, the only options I get are
Microsoft Access Database File Microsoft ODBC Data Source Microsoft SQL Server Microsoft SQL Server Database File Oracle Database <other>
I was trying to follow the tutorial
Step by Step: Developing a SQL Mobile Application with Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/med302_msdn_sql_mobile.asp) and in that tutorial when they do the exact same thing it shows a screen shot that also lists 'Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition'
Any ideas why I dont have that option? FYI, I have SQL Server 2005 and have installed SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition.
Well I'm hoping I'm asking this in the right place. But probrably not. I am using VB2005 express and have Access 2007 beta. When I try to add a new data source VB is looking for a .mdb database type. However Access 2007 beta uses .accdb. I'm not sure how to get these two talking since in the vb drop down boxes all it list is a connection on access with .mdb and all files. When I try all files and pick the accdb data I get the "Couldn't connect with data sorce c:blahblah/bills.accdb.mdb. This an error or am I just totally off the mark? Any help would be appreciated.
In both VB6 and VB2005 Both are loaded on same computer. When attempting to write to an access database table using ADO I get a runtime error: -2147217887(80040e21) "mutiple-step operation generates errors. Check each status value. " Reading the database is no problem. I only get the errors when writting to database. I have used the following code forever in VB6 and never got this error. Now that I have Visual Studio 2005 loaded on the same machine. I get this error. I get the exact same error when using this code in VB2005. I know VB6 but am just learning 2005. The following code is writting to a database table from various user imputed text and combo boxes. I used basicly the same code in VB2005 and get the same exception error. This code works on machines that do not have VB .net loaded. How do I fix this. My application is useless unless the user can make changes to their data.

It seems that i can not connect to the abc.mdf in SSMSE while the VB program is running. (ERROR: Database 'C:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projectsabcabcabc.mdf' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) )
If i connect to the abc.mdf first in SSMSE, then run the VB program afterwards, it gives me the error on this line -- sqlConnection1.Open()
I want to be able to access the abc.mdf database with both SSMSE and VB at the same time. Could anyone help me on this ?
End Sub this code worked well. we know sql7 is not compatiable with vista. please tell us how to connect it wiith sql2005 . we downloaded orcas express edition beta. we created a database also. please let u know how to connect with Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 (.NET Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5).
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.
I get the below error only when my IDE open. It connects well when it is found closed. [SqlException (0x80131904): Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'JPASPNET'.] I could solve this by giving the logged in windows user to impersonate under IIS window > WEBSITE > ASP.NET tab > EDIT CONFIG > APPLICATION tab But I wish someone could give me the proper solution. I almost tried all from giving ASPNET user as a administrator to configuring the same in Express management tool. Environment: XP pro, VWD and SQL Express
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(error not found)".

A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition along with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Now here's what I did:
Rather than use the Database Explorer within VB2005 EE to create my database, I thought I would try creating my database externally using the downloadable "SQL Server Management Studio Express" tool. (I figured that if I had a stable data model for my database, I could side-step the copying/overwriting issues that come with creating a database as part of a VB solution.)
So having gotten my database setup and populated with some sample data, I am now trying to connect to it from Visual Basic. In VB (in the context of working on a VB Solution), I do the following:
Select Add New Data Source... from the Data menu to bring up the Data Source Configuration Wizard. Choose "Database" for the data source type and click Next. Click "New Connection..." to bring up the Add Connection dialogue.
For data source I choose "Microsoft SQL Server Database File", with ".NET Framework Data Provider..." as the data provider. Navigate to my existing database file (in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" folder). Use Windows Authentication.
When I click "Test Connection" or just click "OK", i get the Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition error shown at the top of this message.
Is this occuring because I'm trying to access my database as an .MDF file rather than through Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? If this is the case, is there any way that I can tell VB2005 EE to use Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? Is this a fundamental limitation of VB2005 EE?
Thanks in advance to the guru who is able to explain this to me...
What is the ideal method that I can build client/server application by using IIS when I make my programme by using VB2005.net and SQL Server 2005 as database
I got an approach like that: 1) Read something from DB - check the value, if true stop if false go on2) Read the second Value (another SQL Statement) - check the value etc. Now I could open the connection at 1) and if I have to go to 2) I leave the connection open and use the same connection at 2). Is it ok to do that? The other scenario would be opening a connection at 1), immediately close it after I read the value and open a new connection at 2). Thanks for the input!

Just a quick question about connection management. My application willnever need more than 1 or 2 connections about at any given time. Also, I donot expect many users to be connected at any given time. For efficiency, Iwould like to keep connections alive throughout the lifetime of the objectsrequiring them, rather than opening a new connection, executing code andthen closing it again. What is the most efficient way of doing this?Should I perform the open/close or just one open when I create the objectand a close when I dispose of it?
No one answered in another group, please help.Using access 2000 /msdeI know how to compact the access project file (.adp), there's a menu choicefor that.How do I compact the tables and stored procedures on the server? ( The .MDFfile)I only have the DOS promp OSQL utility to work with.thanks
I'm trying to add an SQL Compact Edition database to my application running on a CE 6.0 platform that I am also developing. Unlike PB 5.0, I don't see sql CE listed as an option in the catalog and when I try to run my application I get a pInvoke sqlceme30.dll error. I have found a number of references to this same issue elsewhere but no real good solutions. Most seem to point to the cab files not being deployed. I am thinking that I should have the necessary support files deployed in the CE image and I have downloaded and installed every sql CE version/update that I can find but none of them seem to add support to PB 6.0.
I am trying to add the cab files manually but I would appreciate any suggestions if there is a better solution............ Thanks
