Create Mobile Database From Xls, Csv, Text Or Mdb
Nov 28, 2006
Hello,
Since my experience in VS is extremely limited, i'd like to be exused if questions sound silly.
My problem is that, at my device application project, i want to build a database that will retrieve data from .xls, or .csv, or .txt, or .mbd files. If i've noticed well, there is no support for OLEDB or ODBC, since by the time that i add tableadapter to my database.xsd and use these, after insertion i get multiple errors informing that system.data.oledb. .... or .odbc "type is not defined".
If it cannot be done, and since i still try to figure out how smart devices function, transact with databases, e.c.t. is there any suggestion?
Thank you in advance

I have searched through this forum and the news group
microsoft.public.sqlserver.ce
for this topic. I only find a post from Darren Shaffer and I requested a document.
Unfortunately, there is not a clear example of how to create a mobile database (sdf) on a desktop machine which contains VS 2005 and SQL server 2005 by using Visual Basic 2005.
I am sure a clear example in VB for this problem would help a lot of people. Hence anybody who knows how to perform this task, Please help these people.
Thanks in advance

I have code that creates a SQL Mobile database on a server. It has worked in many environments, but I have one customer experiencing an issue. It will not create the database on their server. I would appreciate any thoughts.
The exact error message I get is "the operating system does not support encryption"
I am getting it on the line: SQLCeEngine.CreateDatabase()
Here is the code:
SQLCeEngine = New SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine(SQLConnectionString)
ReturnValue += ": Declare new"
SQLCeEngine.CreateDatabase()
ReturnValue += ":Create"
SQLCeEngine.Dispose()
ReturnValue += ": Dispose"
Here is the error message I get from our application- the part after Err: is the actual error message from the system:
Data Source = D:EVADATAWebServiceDownloads est;Password=test;Persist Security Info=False;: Declare new:Error!:Err:The operating system does not support encryption.
When I go into SQL Express and create a SQL Mobile database using it, it can be created. So, I have to believe it can be done on the server, but I don't know why the code can not do it.
(e.g. FileConnect Object ExplorerServer Type: SQL Server compact Edition and create a database). The database is successfully created if I do it manually this way. It even creates fine if I select the 'Encrypt' button.
The machine is a Windows 2000 Server sp4 version 5.00.2195
SQL 2000 is installed
SQL 2005 Express is installed
I ran the SQLServerCE31-EN.msi file and it is installed. (I have also re-run and repaired it)
I have also copied over the newest version of our code from scratch.
SQL Server mgmt Studio: 9.00.3042.00
MDAC 2000.085.1128.00
MSXML 2.3 3.1 4.0 5.0 6.0
IE 6.0.2800.1106

Hi,
Please provide some help regarding the "Interface Defining Error: IID_IDBDataSourceAdmin" error while trying to create a SDF database using Query Analyzer on a Windows CE 5.0 mobile device (Symbol MC3000).
Error: 0x80004005 E_FAIL
Native Error: 28558
Description: SQL Mobile encountered problems when creating database [,,,,]
Param. 0: 0
Param. 1: 0
Param. 2: 0

sqlce30.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.CAB
sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB
sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
PS.
Basically I have developed a mobile application that programmatically creates the database, the code worked on a similar device (Win CE 50), trying to run the application on a new device resulted in database creation errors. I tried creating a test database manually .. and this is what I got.
Browsing MSDN or searching on the Forum did not help.

Hi,
I'm trying to get my first replication going, and I have set up a database successfully, along with merge replication, however when I attempt to create the first subscriber, I get a permissions issue, regardless of what I do. In the SQLCESA30.LOG file, I get the following entries:
2006/01/07 16:59:36 Hr=00000000 SQLCESA30.DLL loaded 0
2006/01/07 16:59:58 Hr=80004005 ERR:OpenDB failed getting pub version 28627
I posted the initial thread under the "Replication" forum, but am including this 'pointer' post here due to a lack of replies there, and the relevance of this thread to this forum. Please see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=193693&SiteID=1 for more details.
Thanks.

Hi All,
After detaching the database I placed the database files and log files in the D folder as C drive was full. When i try to attach the files I am getting an error Failed to attach database Microsoft SQL Error 7622 (QCFTCAT Full text catalog).

Hi,
I'm trying to create a SQL Mobile .sdf file from my SQL Server 2005 database and cannot. I read the ms support docs for doing this and have had no luck . I created the respective publication and SQL Subscription for the db and when i run the process (not sure if i'm running the right process - docs don't say) it creates a directory under a "unc" directory with all my table objects (articles) with subscription/replication files for each table such as .cft, .bcp, .dri, .prc, .sch, and .trg. But no .sdf file for my SQL Server 2005 database.
All I want is the .sdf file so that i can copy it to my Pocket PC device and then connect my mobile application to it. I want to copy my SQL Server 2005 database to my device so that the mobile app uses the db on the device. Sounds easy - but it's not. Can someone tell me the easiest way to do this or point me to a doc that explains it. I checked the ms support docs and they state "after the .sdf file has been created..." in "Pre-building a SQL Server Mobile Database" doc. Where/How is the .sdf file created is what I would like to know?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks - Dave

I have been following Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Mobile:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171908.aspx
I have successfully created the snapshot.
When performing the following:
Configure the publication for Web synchronization
In SQL Server Management Studio, in Object Explorer, expand the (local) computer node.
Right-click the Replication folder, and then choose Configure Web Synchronization
There is no option when Right-clicking the Replication folder under my local server, however there IS an option for Configuring Web Synchronization on the Replication folder under SQL Server Mobile. (Unfortunately the Configure the publication for Web Synchronization is listed BEFORE the SQLServer Mobile Task, so it is pretty confusing) So, assuming this is what the author meant, I successfully configured the Web Server and the SQLMobile shows under my default web site.
When I attempt to create a Subscription under SQLServer Mobile, I get the following error:
- Synchronizing Data (Error)
Messages
Unexpected HTTP status returned. [ 415,status = ]
HRESULT 0x80004005 (28632)
The operation could not be completed.
Am I missing something? Should the web configuration be done on my local SQL Server, not the SQLServer Mobile replication directory? If so, how come I do not have that option as suggested in the directions?
I have checked and rechecked permissions. As I mentioned, the snapshot is successfully created (verified by Right-clicking the publication and viewing the snapshot agent status)

Hi,
I want to create a text file and write to text it by calling its assembly from Stored Procedure. Full Detail is given below
I write a code in class to create a text file and write text in it.
1) I creat a class in Visual Basic.Net 2005, whose code is given below:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class WLog
Public Shared Sub LogToTextFile(ByVal LogName As String, ByVal newMessage As String)
Dim w As StreamWriter = File.AppendText(LogName)
LogIt(newMessage, w)
w.Close()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LogIt(ByVal logMessage As String, ByVal wr As StreamWriter)
wr.Write(ControlChars.CrLf & "Log Entry:")
wr.WriteLine("(0) {1}", DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(), DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString())
wr.WriteLine(" :")
wr.WriteLine(" :{0}", logMessage)
wr.WriteLine("---------------------------")
wr.Flush()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LotToEventLog(ByVal errorMessage As String)
Dim log As System.Diagnostics.EventLog = New System.Diagnostics.EventLog
log.Source = "My Application"
log.WriteEntry(errorMessage)
End Sub
End Class
2) Make & register its assembly, in SQL Server 2005.
3)Create Stored Procedure as given below:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_LogTextFile
(
@LogName nvarchar(255), @NewMessage nvarchar(255)
)
AS EXTERNAL NAME
[asmLog].[WriteLog.WLog].[LogToTextFile]
4) When i execute this stored procedure as
Execute SP_LogTextFile 'C:Test.txt','Message1'
5) Then i got the following error
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure SP_LogTextFile, Line 0
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'SP_LogTextFile':
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:Test.txt' is denied.

Hello (sorry my bad english, im brazilian)
I was using Visual Studio 2003 and SQL Server CE 2.0 for C# mobile applications. The .sdf database were created in the emulator or in the mobile device itself using Query Analizer.
The application developed need some initial data to run, and this data is obtained executing one service that reads a postgree database, and insert the data in the SQL CE database of the mobile device. But, given the size of the database (maybe 10.000 rows), it tooks too much time (sometimes 6 hours).
Now we are migrating to Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition.
I want to know if its possible to create the .sdf database and load the data into this database on the desktop. Maybe through the execution of a .sql script, or through a service executed on the desktop.
After this, its just upload de .sdf file to the mobile device.
Thanks
Robson

i am using VB.net of Visual Studio 2005
My platform is using a PDA with winCE 4.2 and SQL server CE. The Host program is using dbf files on desktop side.
I got a problem of how to sync / read the sql CE data from a windows application.
so, i wanna ask,
1. any method to access the data from winCE data by windows application? or can i convert the sdf file to windows readable files? or any others?
2. Can i use a MDB to sync with SQL server CE?
can i synchronize the mobile device which has a SQL Server CE database with the Access database on the desktop?
last question,
3. is that windows CE .net 4.2 not support pocket access (cdb) anymore?

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

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.

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?

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,
-Dana

Hi all, I'm new to mobile devices.
I have a desktop application that uses SQL Server Compact Edition. I will soon have a mobile application that will use the same database. How can I (at runtime of the desktop app, say when the user clicks a button) transfer the sdf file to the mobile device? I'm not necessarily interested in synchronizing the databases, simply overwriting the database on the mobile device with the one on the desktop would suffice.
Is something like this possible?
Thanks!
