Synchronizing Sql 2005 Compact Edition With SQL 2000
Mar 19, 2007
HI ,
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 INTERNETURL As String = "http://ihsan/THPMIS/sscesa20.dll"
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
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.
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.
Hello, How are you? I have a problem when I try to create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. When I€™m going to choose the data source, the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition provider doesn€™t appear in the list. I installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=%2085E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en. In the additional information says by installing SQLServerCE31-EN.msi installs the provider (System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll) in the GAC (global assembly cache) and registers the OLEDB provider (sqlceoledb30.dll). So, I don€™t understand why couldn€™t I create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE?
I have been following the MS on-line tutorials to get replication setup between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition. I get to the point where I run the Configure Web Synchronization and it is running through the process where it is doing the automated configuration of the shared directory - assigning users etc.
I have attempted this step with a user account that I expressly created for snapshots and with the Administrator account and get the following error message:
* The operation completed successfully. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070000)
At first, I thought this was a rights issue due to the fact that I was using an account that I manually created. However, by using the Administrator account (test only until I can figure this out) that should have removed any rights issues associated with accessing the shared directory where the snapshot will reside.
Any help in getting this figured out will be greatly appreciated.

==> Is there anything else missing if I intend to use it for development with Visual Studio 2005 (VC++)?
==> What is "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Developer SDK" compared to the one "SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition" I installed? Should I install it?
3- There is also a link, which btw doesn't work at all, that should allow me to download following item:
"Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Tools of VS 2005 sp1"
==> Not being able to have any infos about it, what is the use of it? Should I install it in my environment? If so, any working link where I can download it from?
4- I finally noted, while browsing through SQL Server 2005 CE books online, the following note:
The following programming models are supported by SQL Server Compact Edition:
ADO .NET, accessible by using C# or Microsoft Visual Basic
OLE DB, accessible by using Visual C++ option from within Visual Studio 2005
==> How come that CE is not accessible using ADO.NET model when using VC++?
My application uses Sql server 2005 Mobile edition and I want to change to
Sql server 2005 Compact edition.
I have an application that automatically upgrade new version of my software at users (customers sites) It is shipped on a memrory card (SD Card).
I want in my upgrade tool to install Sql server 2005 Compact edition so I do it by running the two cab files :
sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB and sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
It works ok but I want also to uninstall Sql server 2005 Mobile edition and I do not find out how to do it automatically, First I do not know how to find out if Sql server 2005 Mobile edition is installd and if so how to uninstall it.
I want to do it all automatcally in my upgrade utility because my customers do not know to do it manually by theself.
Second I want to know if I have to use the Sql server 2005 Compact edition Uprade tool to upgrade my clients old databases because the now application works ok without Upgrading the database.
Hi Can we use Top Clause in the Select statement while using SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition. If not, is there any other workaround available to achieve same results.
I'm building my app in the full blown MS SQL 2005 Standard Edition as our new app will have a enterprise version using SQL 2005 and a desktop version using either SQL Compact Edition 2005, VistaDB3, or maybe even (uggh) SQL Express 2005. I would prefer SQL Express 2005 but the install size of my app + DB would kill sales.
Back to my question. I'm building out the schema in the full SQL 2005, how do I take this schema and get the schema applied to a SQL Compact Edition DB?
I want to learn if it is possible to develop applications for SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition using .NET Compact version 1.0. The major doubt is the possibility for version 1.0. It is reasonable to deliver SQL Compact Edition redistributables with an application, but this is not great to require ,NET 2.0.
I'm trying to use application designed for 32bit operating system on 64bit (Longhorn beta 2). This application requires SQL Server CE 2005, I installed it (x32) but the application still says that it isn't.
What can be the problem? I suggest the application cannot retrieve information about SQL Server CE installation. But maybe the reason is I need to install something like SQL Server CE for 64bit operating system? Is it present "in native"?
everything is ok for first run. but i leave the program relogin than that error occured ppc2003 second edition devices. Windows mobile 5.0 device works fine. can anybody help me?

I have a computer thats running XP 64 bit version. I want to replicate between SQL server 2005 and SQL server 2005 compact edition. But it doesn't works. So i looked for a solution and i came to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912430 This page is telling me:
You cannot replicate data from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Compact Edition by using the 64-bit version of IIS
Is that a problem that can be solved by not using a other Operating System?
Or can you maybe install a 32-bit IIS on XP 64 bit?
I have a SQL Server 2005 (build 9.0.3050) database with tables belonging to different schemas. I am in the process of developing a Windows Mobile 5.0 application that will work against this database, and I€™m planning to use Remote Data Access with SQL Server 2005 CE to synch data.
I have my RDA all set up and working correctly IIS-wise, and have no problem pulling a table from my database. However, when I attempt to push a modified table back to the database, I get an €˜Internal error: Failure setting up bindings, possibly caused by insufficient permissions.€™ error (which equates to error 28621: SSCE_M_BINDINGS), which according to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172898.aspx is an internal error which €œcannot be resolved by common troubleshooting techniques€?. The €˜insufficient permissions€™ is a red herring I think, since the problem persists even if the SQL Server login that is being used for RDA is in the sysadmin role.
I€™ve attempted to identify the problem by starting from scratch with a new database and a new table with a couple of test columns. With the table freshly created as dbo.TableName RDA works fine. However, when I create a schema and transfer the table to the schema, RDA push fails as above, so to me it looks like the schema is causing the problem.
Anyone any ideas about this? All help greatly appreciated!
I have a problem changing the language setting to swedish on sql server 2005 compact edition. The thing is that I'm using a language dependent format: '1998-02-28 14:23:05' (Numeric) when saving and I rather don't want to change this format, because it's a lot of work. (The default setting on the database seems to be us-english, which has the format month-day-year and there by gets wrong for me).
As I understand, this is detemined by the language settings on login. So I set this by using the 'locale identifier' (sv-SE) in the connection string to the CE database, but when I try to save the data, the datum is still interpreted as us-english format.
(The application I'm running have been upgraded from sql compacte edition 2.0 where this worked just fine, though without specifing any language settings in the connection string.)
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?
We have a plan to use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition RC1 as a backend. Our Front-end is VS .NET (VB.NET).
We want to know how to edit the Compact Edition database (.SDF). Is there any editor is available right now in the market? or microsoft provided any editor for this.
OR Can i use microsoft 2005 sql server standard edition for this.
I am using a Compact Framework 2.0 on a mobile 5.0 with a local Microsoft SQL Compact Edition 2005 database. The backend database is a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and I am trying to pull a 45000 rows table (the table has 2 varchars(8) forming a primary key and an INTEGER column).

While mydr.Read() ' Look for the <configuration> section ' This lets us add several peices in the config file If mydr.Name = "DBPath" Then DBPath = mydr.Name End If End While mydr.Close()

I tried to connect Northwind.sdf from VB.NET 2005, though connection went right, I am getting an error like the following
Some updating commands could not be generated automatically. The database returned the following error : Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider

How Can I get Identitiy field from database while inserting new row in sql server 2005 compact edition.
Ex:
I am inserting row in a table through SqlQuery ("insert into ....") in which one of the field is of type Identity which generates number automatically. I want that number to pick up that number and used it in child table....
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) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199402
We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.
I am attempting to use the SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition (Management Studio) to create/manage a Compact Edition 3.5 database. My problem is that I cannot even create/open the compact database in Management Studio. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. TIA
Problem Creating the Compact Database:
Open 2008 Management Studio
From menu choose File | Connect Object Explorer...
Choose SQL Server Compact Edition as the Server type.
Choose <New Database...> as the Database file.
Browse to folder where file will be created (C:MyDatabase#1.sdf was used in my example)
Leave all other field as default selections OR make changes, either way it does not work.
Click OK.
At this point the OK button just becomes disabled and nothing happens. Problem Opening An Existing Compact Database:
Open 2008 Management Studio
From menu choose File | Connect Object Explorer...
Choose SQL Server Compact Edition as the Server type.
Choose <Browse for more...> as the Database file and locate a ".sdf" file that I created using VS2008.
Enter password, if any.
Click OK.
