Advice On Developing A Mobile App That Uses SQL 2005 CE

Mar 9, 2007

Hi,

I am new to SQL 2005 CE but fairly experienced with SQL 2000 and know my way around SQL 2005. I am creating a PDA app that must support the following scenario:

My company has a SQL 2000 server with a "computer assets" database. This asset database must be able to be transferred to an .sdf file (SQL 2005 mobile) on the PDA when the user docks their PDA to the desktop PC (not the same machine as the SQL 2000 server). This transfer can be via an option in the mobile app that is initiated by the user, or automatic.

The mobile application basically supports stock-taking of the assets, so users go out on site and record information about the assets. This information is stored in a separate .sdf database on the PDA.

When the user gets back to the office they dock with their desktop and then must transfer the data from the second .sdf database onto the SQL 200 server. Lets call this the "asset metadata".

thats basically it! but im having issues finding the right process to attack the data transfer tasks.

My issues:

- Firstly, how do i populate the .sdf on the PDA for development purposes? Microsoft tutorials seem to be geared at SQL server 2005 management
studio only. I only have SQL server 2005 Management Studio Express on
my development machine as well as all the necessary SQL 2005 CE SDKs and VS2005. We
do not use SQL Server 2005 at my organisation as yet and it will be some time before we migrate across. In effect im looking for something that behaves like a DTS package to transfer data across.

- How to populate the "asset database" .sdf file from the SQL 2000 server when the user has docked to their desktop PC? (This needs to be refreshed )

- How to transfer the "asset metadata" from the .sdf on the PDA to the SQL server?

ive looked at merge replication a little but am not sure whether this is what i need and again most online information seem to be tailored to SQL Server 2005.

Can anyone kindly point me in the right direction?

SQLCe Errors When Doing Developing A SQL Mobile Application With Visual Studio 2005 And SQL Server 2005 Tutorial

Feb 26, 2008

I'm attempting to use RDA to synchronize a pocket pc emulator with SQL Server 2005 database by following tutorial http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454892.aspx, which uses AdvWorksMobile database that comes with SQL Server 2005.

When get to testing of "To test application features " ( step 4 of the merge replication setup lab ), I am receiving SQLCe Exception errors.

ORIGINALLY, I was able to deploy an application and view the local database on the emulator, but once I clicked "InitSinc" button, I received an error.

"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.
Found this error listed in Server Agent Errors log http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172357.aspx, but it wasn't very helpful since it doesn't provide any suggestions on fixing the problems.

I am brand new to SQL CE Server , mobile programming and .NET framework in general so please bare with me



All the connections / security settings, etc that were set up were taken from a tutorial so I am not sure what SQLCeServer is complaining about. Reading up on the error on the web didn't help, it all pointed to making sure that the snapshot folder had correct permissions set up. I verified that MACHINENAMEUISR_MACHINENAME guest user had Read rights to the database so I don't think that piece is the problem. Otherwise ,Merge publication has been setup in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio by following the tutorial.


I am trying to run this sync on my home pc so there should be no issues with any user permissions


I have IIS installed


I did NOT have SQL Server Agent running in management studio at this time


I am trying to run this tutorial on an XP machine, which is my regular home PC so I dont think there are any special networking settings to consider


I am able to hit http://localhost/AdvWorksMobile/sqlcesa30.dll from my pc OK, but when I try to hit it from a cradled emulator ( after replacing "localhost" with "MACHINE_NAME" ), Internet Explorer on the emulator gives me a "Cannot Connect With Current Settings" error message. This part wasn't part of tutorial but decided so not sure if I am supposed to be able to hit it from my emulator..so I am not sure if the fact that I can't hit it is related to the problem.
AFTER STARTING SQL SERVER AGENTin Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I killed the application, and after relaunching it, it hits "The Specified table does not exist [Vendor]" error. This time it doesn't even launch first - that is I dont even get to pressing "InitSinc" button. Debugger is showing that this error is hit on the following line in AdvWorksMobile.AddWorksDataSetTableAdapters

int returnValue = this.Adapter.Fill(dataTable);

I am not sure why the errors changed on me after starting SQL Server Agent.
What can I do to fix this connection problem?

Thank you so much for your help!

SQL Server Mobile 2005 Merge Replication Problem On Windows Mobile 5.0

Aug 8, 2006



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
Nabeel

SQL Mobile 2005 Replication - SQL Mobile DLL Could Not Be Loaded - Error 28559

Jun 15, 2006

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.

Problem Using SQL Server Mobile 2005 With Windows Mobile 5 Application

Mar 23, 2006

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.

How Do I Measure Bandwith Usage For Merge Replication SQL 2005 To Sql Server Mobile 2005?

Jan 24, 2007

Hi,

Is there any way to measure bandwith usage during merge replication between sql server 2005 and sql server mobile 2005 running on a cradled wm5 mobile device.

Attaching the windows performance monitor to the network connection established over usb would work although I was wondering if there was something specific for this case integrated into Sql server 2005 / sql server mobile 2005 / Sql server management studio / third party tools that i could use ?

thnx,

pdns.

SQL Server Standard 2005, SQL Mobile 2005 Data Encryption Issues

Jul 26, 2007

Hi,

I have a central database server that is runnning on SQL 2005 standard edition and Windows server 2003 standard as OS.

I realise that I can use SQL statements to encrypt and decrypt the data inside the standard SQL.

However, how do I read and write the data via an web application coded in C#.net and is also running on the same machine?

Another issue is, I need to replicate some of the data in this SQL standard over to a SQL mobile running on a mobile device running on Windows CE 5.0.

The mobile device also needs to read and write data to the encrypted data via a C#.net application.

Question is, with all these requirements to be met, can I use AES? I know that AES is not available on Windows XP and Windows Server 2000 and I cant find AES in the .net compact framework.

how do i go about ensuring security? how do I ensure that the symmetric key is the same both on the SQL standard and SQL mobile?

thank you.

RAPI CopyFileToDevice Slow After Switch From Mobile 2005 To Compact 2005

Sep 12, 2007

I have a windows forms application that runs on my PC that populates a SQL Server Compact 2005 database and then transfers that .sdf file to my mobile device. The communication between the mobile device and PC is done using the Desktop RAPI class from OpenNetCF (http://www.opennetcf.com/FreeSoftware/DesktopCommunication/tabid/90/Default.aspx)

Anyway, I was previously using SQL Server Mobile 2005 and my populated .sdf was around 1.7 MB and I could transfer it to my mobile device in a minute. Once I switched to SQL Server Compact 2005, the transfer process began taking 3 minutes with a 1.5 MB .sdf file. The SSCE also got bloated more easily so I added in the Compact operation each time after I fully populate the SDF to keep the file size at 1.5 MB, but even then it still takes 3 minutes.

I've done a few tests where I simply switch between the two database versions and that simple switch of the version changes the transfer time. I am dumbfounded trying to figure out what the cause might be. Since it is just a file transfer, why would the version even matter unless somehow SSCE is really not compacting and lying about its actual size.

Has anyone run into anything similar to this or may have any ideas what might be going on?

Thanks.

VS 2005/SQL Server2005 - Direct Connection From Win Mobile Emulator To Desktop SQL Server 2000 Or 2005

Aug 10, 2007

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to connect to Desktop SQL Server 2000 from Windows mobile PC Emulator (VS 2005). I need a direct connection using connection string to SQL Server 2000 through local wireless network without IIS.

Bellow is the code that I use. After executing this code I get an error on line Conn.Open(). Error says SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
SQL is un and running, and I can log in using SA username from the desktop. Even if I chance IP for another SQL server in my connection string I still get the same error. There is no firewall of any kind running.


Dim connectionSTR As String = "Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=False;Server=192.168.0.202,1433;initial catalog=MyDB;user id=sa;password=;"

Dim Conn As SqlConnection

Conn = New SqlConnection(connectionSTR)

Conn.Open()


If Conn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
MessageBox.Show("Open")
End If


About my environment: SQL Server 2000 is running on Desktop PC with Windows XP SP2. Application which I need to connect to SQL Server is in Visual Studio 2005. I execute the application in Windows Mobile PC Emulator and try to connect to SQL Server from emulator.

Your advice and help is very appreciated

Thank you

Now, the sitation is little different, and I needto know the EXACT steps to take.Does anyone have a FAQ or link that outlines migration steps? I foundone on sql server central, but it isn't very detailed.One of the important things I need to know is, how do I create arollback plan if I am upgrading from 2000 to 2005 on the same server(instance)?Also, why can't I seem to find a comprehensive list of TO DO's whenupgrading? Doesn't microsoft provide this? You would think so. I willrun upgrade advisor first, but isn't there also documentationsomewhere?I seem to recall lots of permissions issues that arose with 2005.HELPThanks

Difference Between SQL Mobile 2005 And SQL Compact 2005

May 24, 2007

Hello,

Could someone give me the difference between "Sql Mobile 2005" and "Sql Compact 2005".
At first I thought they were the same, that this was just something of the change in naming the server has had the last months.
My first guess was that Mobile would be the new one, but I have 'accidently' downloaded the Compact and what seems the System.data.SqlServerCE.dll is newer.

So is there a difference?
If yes, what are they.
If not, is the "compact" then the latest version and the name to be used (since on the site only "mobile" is mentioned).

Best regards,
Ike Casteleyn

SQL Mobile 2005 Merge Replication With SQL 2005 X64

Jan 10, 2006

I am having trouble with getting Merge Replication up with a new SQL 2005 x64 Server.  I already have it running smoothly with SQL 2005 Mobile and SQL 2000, but I want to migrate the backend to SQL 2005.

There is a front end server running IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 x86 Standard (Server A) with SSL required and Basic Authentication set as the only authentication method (default Domain and Realm are also set).  The backend server is running SQL 2005 x64 Standard on Windows 2003 x64 Standard (Server B).  The mobile devices are running Windows Mobile 5.0 with SQL 2005 Mobile (Client).

From both a standard Windows XP workstation (IE) and the Client (PIE) I can browse to the HTTPS site on port 444 for the sqlcesa30.dll on Server A and get a response in normal and ?diag modes.  The ?diag gives success in all but the 8.0 Database Reconciler (I didn't install the SQL 2000 replication components on Server A, my understanding is they should not be needed).  Sql Server Module Versions are as follows: sqloledb.dll - 2000.86.1830.0, 9.0 replrec.dll - 2005.90.1399.0, 9.0 replprov.dll - 2005.90.1399.0, 9.0 msgprox.dll - 2005.90.1399.0.

The publication on Server B is enabled for Web Synchronization and the Snapshop Agent has run.  There are no reported errors on that side.

Since I ran into issues getting synchronization to run I have opened up permissions fairly wide in this test environment.  The PAL and the Database both have the user I am attempting to sync with listed (I am using the Administrator account in the test domain).  I have opened full rights on the Snapshot share on Server B to Everyone (both NTFS ACL on the directory and the Share permissions).  The virtual directory on Server A containing the sqlcesa30.dll has also been opened very wide, and the Application Pool does have access to it.

The Client is running a custom C#.NET 2005 application.  With the exception of changes to set the application to sync with the Server A/B duo instead of the production servers, this application is identical to the code currently being used in production with SQL 2000 Standard.

The persistent error that I am getting from the Client being thrown by SQL 2005 Mobile when I attempt to sync is "An instance of the SQL Server Reconciler error object cannot be created.  Try reinstalling the replication components."

SQL 2005 Mobile components on Server A are set to Logging Level 3 but not returning any errors that I can see to troubleshoot with.  All replication components appear to be installed and operational, although I have re-installed them.

Besides the obvious question of how to solve the error listed above, is there an issue with am x85 front end IIS 6.0 server talking to an x64 back end SQL 2005 server for merge replication over HTTPS with Windows Mobile 5.0 clients running SQL 2005 Mobile?

Based on everything I have read off the MSDN Forums, MSDN articles, BOL, log files, and web searches it seems like I should have an operational synching topology, however clearly I have missed something because I have yet to get a successful subscription through to the publication.

Any insight/enlightenment would be greatly appreciated, this seems to be a very narrow and specific area of replication and mobility and information is relatively sparse from my experience so far.

Thanks!

Newbie To Remote SQL 2005 Express - Need Roles/security Advice

Aug 30, 2006

Hi,I'm
building an asp.net website using web developer express and I have a
SQL 2005 express install on the same machine.  Using windows security,
everything works fine for development.Now I need to get it working at the client site, where the web server and SQL 2005 Express are on different machines.I'd
tried using windows authentication but that didn't work, probably
wasn't doing it correctly.  I'd like to try SQL Authentication, at least temporarily, since I
can replicate that on my laptop at home easily I think.I created a new SQL login but was really baffled by the screens showing roles and schemas, etc.   There's so many roles to choose from and wasn't sure if this new login needed to own any schemas. I
did turn on remote connections and mixed-mode authentication, the
probably now is my asp.net membership provider login page isn't
authenticating correctly, maybe my permissions are wrong on the
aspnet_.....  tables for users, roles, profiles, etc. Any advice?thanks,Bruce

SQL Server 2005 Reporting - Books / Reference Guides, Etc, Need Advice!!!

Apr 18, 2008



I am not new to the SQL Server world, but am somewhat new to the SQL Server 2005 world. I am just getting into the reporting tool. By just messing around for about an hour or so, I was able to get what I wanted somewhat. Basically, I'd like to get up to speed on the reporting side of things fairly quickly. So I am looking at some books, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on any.

Here is a few that caught my eye:

-MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services by Brian Larson
-MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services for Dummies
-Professional SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services by Paul Turley
-The Rational Guide to SQL Server Reporting Services

I am thinking the 1st two would probably be my best bet, but wanted to get you folks suggestions.

Let me know as soon as you can as I am planning on going to the book store tonight or this weekend.

Thanks in Advance!!!

SQL 2005 Mobile Vs .NET CF 2.0 SP1?

Sep 22, 2006

Hi. I'd like to try a hand at SQL 2005 Mobile.

I've installed sqlce30.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB on an HP iPaq 1950 Pocket PC, provided by the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Device SDK, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5BD8ABAA-5813-4DB3-B23A-24551DE2ECC1&displaylang=en

When I tried to interact with it, I got an error message that the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 was missing on the pocket PC.

So I installed the .NET CF v2.0 SP1 found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0c1b0a88-59e2-4eba-a70e-4cd851c5fcc4&displaylang=en and it updated both the local machine and the Pocket PC.

However, now when I use my local SSMS to talk to the SQL Server Mobile Engine, I keep getting the error:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition and/or .NET Compact Framework v2.0 is not properly installed on your mobile device or the device is not responding. (SQL Server Mobile Edition ADO.NET Data Provider)

(Now I know I can communicate with the Pocket PC because I browse out to it first)

Am I missing something more fundamental, or does this not work with a non-RTM framework?

SQL CE 2.0 And SQL Mobile 2005

May 10, 2006

Hi,

I would like to know if we can install both versions of mobile SQL (SQL CE 2.0 and SQL Mobile 2005) on the same PDA. I know that two versions of CF .Net can be installed.

Indeed, I have an old CF .Net 1.3 application connecting to a SQL CE 2.0 database and a new one using CF 2.0 and SQL Mobile 2005. The first one will be migrated but in the future ... Meanwhile, the customer wants to run the two applications without any code modification.

Is it technically possible ? Is it recomended ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Jun 15, 2006

I am getting an error when I run my project within VS2005. I am
trying to connect to a SQL Mobile (sdf) file thru code using a
connection string. As soon as run my project within the VS2005
environment, I get the following error when the code tries to connect:



"The file is not a valid database file. An internal error has occurred. [,,,Databasename,,]"



The source of the error is: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition

Native Error of: 25011

I am am deploying to POcket PC 2003 SE Emulator.



This code worked fine in VS2003 with SQLCE 2.0. But I have now
updated the projects to VS2005 and recreated the database sdf file
within the VS2005 environment.



Could someone please help me ASAP?

Thanks.

Installing SQL Mobile 2005

May 9, 2007

It is possible to install the .NET Compact Framework from the desktop with a .msi file.

However, SQL Mobile 2005 seems to require you to know the processor which your mobile device uses - there are only CAB files available to do the install.

Have Microsoft made an MSI file available to make this process easier?

Migrating From 2005 To 2005 Mobile

May 4, 2006

Hello All,

I have a database created on SQL Server 2005 and now I would like to migrate the table structure to a SQL Server 2005 Mobile database. Generating the scripts and running them against the mobile database generates a lot of error that I suppose are caused by not supported features or keywords on the mobile engine.

I would like to know what are the best procedure for doing such migration. Note that this has nothing to do with replicating, since the SQL Server 2005 database will be "discontinued" after the migration.

Thanks in Advance,

Igor Kondrasovas

SQL CE 3.0 (Mobile 2005) Max DB Size Question

Jan 26, 2007

Hi everyone,
What are the consequences for just setting the Max DB Size to 4GB and letting it go at that?
Is the MAX Size any arbitrary value I want or must it be close to what the actual database is expected to be?
Also, why did they default to 128MB? Wouldn't it have been better to set it to a larger value?
Thanks
Dorothy
