I would like to create a database for keeping track of payroll data for employees where the supervisors (job coaches) on our workshop floor can use a Pocket PC device to record the hourly employee data on the fly. Then at the end of the day, the supervisor can place the device in a cradle of some sort and synch the newly entered data into the main database.
I'm guessing that SQL Server Compact edition would be perfect for this type of task? Is that correct? Can someone give me recommendations on how to go about setting this up? What should I use as the main database? SQL Server? Access? Any advice is appreciated!
I would like to request you to kindly point me to a location where I may obtain more ideas/suggetions/details on how synchronization may be performed in a real world scenario ?
MS has been promoting smart clients and offline availability, but I cant seem to find any material that outlines some ideas/techniques/pointers as to how this may be acheived sans SQL Server replication
Essentially, what I'm looking for is someting that would guide a not-so-solid-with-databases person like me through how synchronization (sans sql replication engine) may be implemented - any watchouts etc..
Hi all, here are my goals: Have the same DB on two different stand-alone computers, and keep them up-to-date from each other.
Basically a user would input to a DB for a week. Then every week or two, update the other stand alone DB with the new input. The DB would be exactly the same.
What are my options for this? I'd like it as easy as possible! Are there any software packages that deal with this type of transfer, etc.? Thank you!
I have to schedule the automatic restore the standby database fortesting backups . The database was already in log shipping mode. Up towhat point do I need to restore the database without affecting the logshipping sequence? Can we query the log shipping tables for the lastscn applied and recover up to that point? Any suggestoions are welcome.ThanksTram
All,I have an Access DB. On a nightly basis, I want to look at an OtherDB (not Access, but SQL) and:+ Add any new records from Other.Clients into Access.Clients
I had to to relocate the database log file and I issued an Alter database command but by mistake I put a space in the file name as below. The space is at the beginning file name. Now I am unable get the database loaded to SQL Server. The database has 2 replications configured, so deleting and re-attaching the database means the replication needs to be re-configured. Is there an alternative way to issue a command to update the database FILENAME ? Not sure if this can be edited in master database (sys files).
ALTER DATABASE [User_DB] MODIFY FILE (NAME = User_DB_log, FILENAME = 'I:SQLLogs User_DB_log.ldf') GO
we have a merg replication running in three regions UK,USA and AU
my question is in one of our test environment testers managed to get a few tables out of synch while the replication is out.
we have re-established the replication since then and it worked fine untill they try to update records from those out of synch tables. as usual we get conflicts.
we don't really know how many tables are out of synch either. we have about 500 tables.
is there a way to synch tables from with in the merge replication??

I have installed new SQLServer2012 instance and my domain user have sysadmin privileges on this instance. I have a restore procedure and it will execute WITH EXECUTE AS 'domainmy username', for all the developers have exec permissions to this procedure. But newly installed server this procedure was failing with the following message. But the same procedure executing fine on other servers.
Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
As most of you do, I am eagerly awaiting the ability to synchronize my sql mobile database on the hand held to a local sql express database on my local machine
I know users in Microsoft have pointed out to us that we are getting things for free.
At the same time, Microsoft is getting our patience for free and at a cost to us developers.
Its nearly April and as one article says Microsoft will release a fix for this inadequacy
Microsoft...we are happy to pay for this. Palm offers it so what is the big deal. Its not the
reinvention of the wheel. We would have liked that instead of the server synchronization
that bypasses the local sql express database
I as many others are happy to pay
Please let us know when you will be addressing this problem.
I would appreciate the feedback and frustration of other developers. Maybe this will show them we are really running out of time with our clients
Hi ... I am converting SqlServer 2000 databases to SqlServer 2005. It is working great for the most part. The issue I am having is that a user with a schema that owns objects is established in the database and no user is defined in the instance logins. I can see where if I add the instance login then the Principal_id does not match. Cannot drop the user/schema as there are referenced objects.
I got around this in SqlServer 2000 by updating the IDs to match but now they are views and updating is not allowed.
Is there a straightforward way to resynch the database user to a newly created login?
whenenver i run cold fusion, it automatically gets my tables out of the master database instead of the new one i have created. i've added a user that has a default to the new database instead of the master, but i need to know how to use that new user correctly, and what i will need to do once i start adding more databases so that cold fusion will go to the appropriate database and not to the master.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Pro and SQLExpress that comes with it.
I have my program running fine in XP Pro OS using a window user "Glen" (Computer administrator) with Administrator rights. This means that I installed VS 2005 using this window user "Glen"
I created another windows user "TestUser" (Limited account) in the same physical PC.
I tried to run the program and on the part that I need to access SQL table, I got the error [CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master']
At the same time while using "TestUser" and running sqlcmd (to check if I can connect to SQL), I also got error HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1.
I read alot on MSDN discussions and related links but it seems that I can't get the solution that I need.
SO HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS :
1. Am I allowed to run my program using user "TestUser" since SQL is installed using "Glen" windows user?
2. Do I need to add access rights to "TestUser" to allow the user to have CREATE rights? (Note : for security reason, I can add other access rights except Administrator)
Hi,I had this problem in version 7 and dont remneber How I solved it!!I have installed a local SQL Server (2000 aka version 8) on myWorksation (W2K), I have picked NT authuntication.Everything was fine untill I changed my password.

The old password is embeddedsomwhere and I cant egt to it!!!My workstation is on a network, so the password is my networkpassword.Everythinng is MS on our network.Any help would be appreciated.ThanksFardad
Hello,I'm relatively new to the database world so please forgive me inadvance for my ignorance. I have recently been tasked at my job withfinding a tool that will perform the following tasks: 1) extractschemas from a db, 2) produce a difference report between schemas fromtwo databases, and 3) synchronize two schemas. The purpose is forproduct upgrades during which an existing database schema will need tobe synchronized with a baseline schema.The tool must support the following database vendors (versions givenin parenthesis): Oracle (8i/9i), Sybase (12.x), Informix (9.x), MSS2000, and IBM DB2 (7/8).I have spent the last several days downloading and researching avariety of tools such as Aqua Data Studio, DbVisualizer, DBExplorer,DBDiff, and AdeptSQL. I thought it would be a good idea to post amessage to a few database newsgroups and ask for any recommendationsdatabase developers may have.So if anyone has any recommendations on such a tool or softwarepackage, I would greatly appreciate any information.Thanks!Chad Smith
We are trying to set up Web Synchronization, but we keep getting the error "IIS ws not found on the web server. Please specify a computer name that has IIS installed".
Our Distributor/Publisher are on one box, IIS on aother box. Both boxes are in the same domain (test environment), and both boxes are being logged into with a domain account.
We can get this to work in another similar environment so we don't know why this one isn't working. Is it permission issues?
Sometime during the night last night some user account permissions were "lost". Am I right to think that restoring the master database would be the way to go? We have a 2 node 2012 cluster and I stop the cluster resource and start the db in single user mode from the active node. Somehow the sharepoint farm is still trying to connect so I can't get logged in single user. What method could I use to stop users from connecting when I don't have access to the sharepoint farm.
I am running into a null reference exception on replication with SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition. The problem occurs at repl.synchronize(). Even though the statement is inside a try-catch block, the exception is not caught, and the application quits.
Device O/S: Windows Mobile 5.0 v 5.1.195 Build 14957.2.3.1 Hardware: Dell Axim X51v, Intel PXA270 Database: SQL 2005 SP2 (no post SP2-patches)
Exception shows as "an unexpected error has occured in AppName.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information." Details: .. at NullReferenceException at AppName.Form1.Synch() .. at .... (various lines) .. at AppName.Form1.Main()
The application is based on the tutorial (Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Compact Edition) at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171908.aspx.
The application was successfully working initially but then stopped working on replication after some minor modifications which were not related to the replication code, e.g. adding some buttons to the form.
Three things are puzzling me here..
1. The fact that this is a NullReferenceException and not a SqlCeException 2. Why the try-catch block doesn't work 3. Why the exception occurs
Hi Y'all, What are the advantages of placing stored procedures in the master database? Can i always use all the database-names on the instance? Thanks!
Hi, I have a question regarding master database.I know if a master database is corrupt we need to rebuild the master.One of the guys suggested us to maintain a copy of master data file and log file in diffrent directory and when master database is corrupt we can copy the files to the actual location and restart the sql server and this should fix the issue and by this method we can save the time of rebuilding the master database.I don't know if this works.Can anyone please tell me if this works and also disadvantages if any with this method? thanks Mohan
I tried to import a stored procedure from one Master database to another Master database, but it won't allow me. I then tried to copy and paste that system stored procedure on isql, but it still won't allow me.
Why I can do a DTS on other databases, except on Master database? Is there any way around it?
hi, What are the symptoms that the master database is currepted? If I do not know the databases sort order, code page, and Unicode collation and I had a master database crash, it is important during the rebuild process to maintain same configuration,
Is there a way to run a script which tells me the configuration set up of the master database. so I know ahead of time what configurations Ican use during the rebuilding process.
I installed SQL Server, created a database for a sql server user andnoticed that the user has access to the master database even though thecheckbox for master database for the user login is not checked.They can list sysusers and find out all the names. They can list all thedatabases as well by using sp_helpdb.Is this normal behavior?If I check db_denydatareader and db_denydatawriter in the master databasefor that user, will that break anything?John Dalberg
Iam planning to move the production server from one server to another. Can any one tell me how to do the migration of the master,model and msdb database. Help in this regard is highly appreciated.Is it ok if I do the dts for these three databases Thanks Naveen.
In SQL 7 Books Online, the suggested method for disaster recovery is to restore the master database along with msdb and user databases.
I am testing this and have an issue restoring the master database. I start SQL in single user mode connected as sa. Using Enterprise Manager to initiate the restore I get the following error:
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState:01000) ConnectionTransact (GetOverlappedResult()) Connection broken.
This stops SQL Server, and prevents subsequent connections and the only fix is to rebuild the master database.
Any ideas?
Although user databases can be recreated and restored without restoring the original master, configuration, security and user logon information is lost without it.
Hi all, I'm hopeful that someone can help.. I'm working with my DRP scripts, and am having some trouble. First I run Rebuildm with no issue, sql works fine (btw we're on SQL7 SP2) then I start sql in single user mode sqlservr -m next, I attempt to restore my master db from a dump, and receive the following error: Getpage: bstat=0x9, sstat=0x1, cache pageno is/should be:objid is/should be: (1:988)/(1:988)6/30 ... IAM indicates that page is NOT allocated to this object Error: 605, Severity: 21, State: 1. Error: 3151, Severity: 21, State: 0 The master database failed to restore. Use the rebuildm utility to rebuild the master database. Shutting down SQL Server.. PLEASE HELP!
