What Tool To View SSCE Database?
Mar 11, 2008
What tool should I use to view SQL Server Compact Edition database?
I have VS2008 Professional, but I didn't find any tool in the installation. So I tried to install the SQL Server Developer Edition, which is included in the VS2008 package, but the installation has quit saying the that there is nothing to upgrade (there is probably newer version of SQL installed by VS2008 itself).
I also tried to download and install SQL Server Managment Studio Express. The installation went well, but then I wasn't able to select any SSCE database (there was only SQL Server Express or something like that selectable).
Is there anything else I should do?

I've just recently downloaded Visual Studio 2008 Express which comes with SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server Compact 3.5, both of which were installed when I installed the products.
I've been following the tutorial videos and trying some stuff of my own and I just can't seem to get a Compact 3.5 database to actually update! I'm doing EXACTLY what is shown in the tutorials and th dataset is being updated - changes and added records - and they will show up in a DataGrid control as expected, but when I accept the changes - nothing is changed and/or added to the actual .sdf file. When I open it again, it's the same as it was before. Using exactly the same code but with an SQL Server 2005 Express database (.mdf), updates are fine.
First I created a dataset that connects to the SSCE 3.5 database .SDF file. Then I simply drag the table from the dataset to the form which creates Dataset, Table Binding Source, Table Adapter Manager and BindingNavigator items, in addition to the toolbar and DataGrid controls. The code generated from this is below. I have added the Try/Catch block and messages to see if any errors are ocurring.
Code Snippet
Public Class Form3
Private Sub TblMessageTypeBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TblMessageTypeBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
Me.Validate()
Me.TblMessageTypeBindingSource.EndEdit()
Try
Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.AppMessagesDataSet)
MsgBox("Changes Saved")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub Form3_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'AppMessagesDataSet.tblMessageType' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
Me.TblMessageTypeTableAdapter.Fill(Me.AppMessagesDataSet.tblMessageType)
End Sub
End Class
When I run the app, the data in the database table is displayed correctly. If I make a change and add a record then click the Save button, I get the expected "Changes Saved" message indicating that there are no errors. When I look a the contents of the table, the changes and additions did not happen and the data is exactly the way it was before.
I had the full SQL Serer 7.0 installed as well so I thought there might be a conflict or something became corrupted. In uninstalled SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server Compact 3.5. I "repaired" VB 2008 Express which reinstalled SQL Server Compact 3.5 and separately reinstalled SQL Server 2005 Express. Same problem.
As I mentioned above, what gets me is that if I use the same setup for a SQL Server 2005 Express database, changes and inserts work just fine. (Used the Northwind.mdf (Express) and the Northwind.sdf (Compact) sample databases and created my own sample .mdf and .sdf databases - same results.)
I've looked at whatever I can to see if I can find the problem but just can't put my finger on it. Very frustrating.
Does anyone have any advice on what I might be doing wrong with Compact or if there is something I've missed or if there's a property somewhere that needs to be set, or perhaps a configuration issue??
Many thanks,
Ben

Hi,
I've found a two different answers for this question:
one - on the http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=920700 site where on the Performance improvements section there is a 128MB value in the Database size.
other is in the product datasheet there is a information that this version supports databases up to 4 GB.
Could you tell me what is the correct answer?
Regards,
Mariouche

Hello
I am writing a Desktop application accessing a SSCE database. I am running Windows XP SP2, VS2005 SP1, and have SQLServerCE3.1 installed. Debugging the application shows that ds.m_spInit->QueryInterface() returns E_NOINTERFACE. I have checked that SSCE runtime library is installed, IDBCreateSession uuid exists in the registry and m_spInit.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SQLSERVERCE_3_0) return S_OK. Can you suggest me what need adding/installing to get the CSession.Open(datasource) working?
Thanks
Ares,

I would like to be able to view the complete SQL command that is sent from a Microsoft Access query which has linked SQL Server tables through ODBC, and the query also has some VBA functions manipulating and filtering data.I tried using the SQL Profiler to view the sql command send to SQL Server but all I see is the simple query format and some of the fields. I don't see the fields that have a VBA function such as trim(fieldname) etc in the column. And If I use a VBA fucntion in the Criteria then nothing shows up in SQL Profiled under the TextData column.How can I see the complete SQL command sent to SQL Server?

Hi...
Does anybody know of an open source script I can download that will enable me to manage an SQL database? I basically need to access and modify the database from any machine that may not have SQL Enterprise Manager Installed. I was thinking of writing my own script to do this but I assumed that there is probably already one out there.

Hi Guys,
I am not sure this is the right section to post this in, but ModelRight (www.modelright.com) is releasing a new version of its database design tool that supports SQS 2005/2008. I think the tool provides many advantages over the existing tools (deep SQS support, excellent UI, easy to use, etc).
Currently ModelRight is looking for SQS beta testers. If you want to participate just please go to the website and download the latest version.
Thanks.

When I use the sql 2005 "Database Diagrams" tool for the first time I always get the message: "The Database does not have one or more of the support objects required to use database diagramming. Do you wish to create them?"
1. Does anyone know what the " support objects" referred to are?
2. Why SQL doesn't automatically create these support objects for me? (e.g. do they require a lot of hard disk space so they shouldn't routinely be created?)
3. Is there any way to make Sql automatically create them?
If you can address any of these points I'd appreciate it.
TIA,
barkingdog

Hi, I'm looking for a tool to compare 2 sql server database and makes a script of the differences (like an added table or record). We want to use it to generate a script which we can send to our customers to update their database if a change has been made. Example: We send our customers database A. After half a a year they request some changes to be made to the application that affects the database, say a table has to be added. We want the tool to automatically detect the difference between database A when it was first released and after the changes has been made and generate a script. Anyone suggestions? T.I.A., ratjetoes.

Hi,
I'm a newbie with SQL so excuse my igorance. I'm running an application that uses MSDE2000 as its source db and would like to create a small [10 field] db that would also use MSDE. I want to use a separate db though and not share the first one. What I'm looking for is suggestions on a development tool to create the database with as I'm not familiar with SQL tools. I have a lot of Access experience though so the concepts are not new.
Database requirements are pretty basic.
10 fields [8 text, 2 numeric]
A button field to Add New Record
A search field
Column sorting.
That's it. I could do this in a pinch with Access so knowing what tool to use should make it easy. Any chance that I could do it with Access and then port it to a SQL db?
Thanks,
Bob

we have a group of developers which have created and asked us (DBAs) tocreate many objects in the databases including tables / storedprocedures / functions / etc.since our company is growing, however we have an increasing amount ofobjects that have either been abandoned or have several versions.in an effort to clean of the huge amount of clutter and anytime thatsomething simple like a stored proc needs to change, it is almostimpossible to predict exactly where we will see negative effects ofthis change.i am looking for a system (preferably without developing our own tool)that would keep track of history of database objects (in terms of whocreated it and what purpose it has) as well as link that to all thedevelopers/users we might need to notify of any changes to that object.Also, this should be linked to the application which rely on theobject.bottom line... every object in the database needs to have at least 1corresponding contact as well as the applications which us it.with this information, we can much more easily maintain objects in ourDBs.thx

Hello,
I need a tool that will let me model a SQL Server 2005 database and then generate the tables, constraints, etc. from the model. I've never used a modeling tool so my knowledge is quite limited. I don't need to model or reverse engineer an application - my sole concern is on the SQL Server database side. I'm not concerned if the tool integrates with Visual Studio. And, of course, price is one consideration.
Are there any good tools that I should look at?
Thanks,
BCB

hi,
this is my first post here, i am using Sql Server CE 2005 these days.
in a project i found 2 problem that can't find any solution for them till now , maybe there are some bugs i founded them
here is :
1- when i have a SqlCeCommand Object and the ComandText for it is "Update [Term] SET Year=? WHERE _id=? AND name=? "
the problem is in here , i added parameters for this command, if value of parameter is in Unicode ( i tested it in Farsi[Persian] language value like 'زمستان' on 'name' parameter) , in ExcuteNonQuery() method , it throws FormatException with "Input String was not a correct format".
although if i change the value of 'name' parameter to something non-unicode (for example i tested it with 'ABCDE' ) it works correctly,
i think SqlCeCommand in UPDATE query , have problem with unicode values in paramteres.
2- second one is so strange for me !! , i have a loop that update a column in a table. and then have another loop that update the next column of that table. for example first i update the column 3 in loop, then in another loop i update the column 4.
after all, the value of column 4 and 3 is substituted, it means that values that i updated for column 3 is in column 4 , and values that i updated for column 4 is in column 3 !!!!!!!
both columns is in 'int' type.
and the last point is i tested both of this situations in SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition and both worked correctly without any problem.
also i used SQL Server CE v3.1 with .Net framework 2.0 in Vs2005 and C#.
is there any missing i'v done or is it some kind of bugs.

We are looking into developing our application using SQL Server Compact and have created a test database to become familiar with the API. Having read about ACID transactions in SSCE we would like to know how this is actually employed. What will happen if a power failure occurs during a transaction? Does this have to be recovered in the code?
I have read the following article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/csz1c3h7.aspx, but is this the best way to deal with transaction failures?
I can't find any examples on how to recover from failures in transactions in SSCE.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi-
VS 2008 supports targeting different versions of the .NET Framework. Will this apply to SSCE as well? I have some older apps that I want to keep in .NET 2 and SSCE 3.1. But I would also like to develop new stuff in 3.5. Will the targeting mechanism in VS 2008 support using SSCE 3.1 with .NET 2.0 and SSCE 3.5 with .NET 3.5?
Thanks.
