Cannot select 'SQL Server Compact Edition' from Server Type drop down

Posted By: Posted Date: September 05, 2010 Points: 0 Category :Sql Server

I have seen this issue addressed for SQL Server 2005 but not 2008. I have installed these components:SQL Server 2008 (Browser, Management Objects, Native Client, Policies and Setup Support Files)SQL Server Compact 3.5 (for Devies, Server Tools and SP1)In the SQL Server Management Studio, on the Connect to Server dialog, the "Server Type" drop down list is disabled and "Database engine" is the default. Does anyone know what I need to do to make "SQL Server Compact Edition" a choice in the "Server Type" drop down list?

ODBC Driver for SQL Server Compact Edition

I know that there is no ODBC driver available for SQL Server Compact Edition version 3.5.ÃÂ Do you plan to add an ODBC driver in future release? If yes, is it high in your priority list? ÃÂ The scenario why I am looking for an ODBC driver is to connect an MS Access application to a SDF file instead of MDB file.ÃÂ This will enable me to easilyÃÂ sync the SDF file with SQL server repository using the new Data Sync Services.

SQL Server to SQL Server Compact Edition Database Copy

I recently switched from XP to Win 7 and am getting an error when using the SQL Server to SQL Server Compact Edition Database Copy wizard from johnnycantcode.com (link). I suspect that the problem is with the configuration of the path for the DQL CE dll. 1) Does anyone know where the configuration is set? It isn't in the GLT.SqlCopy.exe.config file in the local directory. 2) Has anyone got the program to run under Win 7? Thanks marc

Can a row on a "SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5" have more than 8000B in size ?

Hello, I am trying to use SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 for a desktop PC application. I need to have a table with 5 columns. One of this columns will contain a data that can grow up to 1MB in size. I have read in wikipedia specifications that the maximum row size, this engine is capable to handle, is of 8000B. However, when designing the table, I can choose "image" type. So, can a row on that table have more than 8000B in size? Is there a maximmum limit ? Cheers Valentin

SQL server 2008 compact editioin + Entity Framework: Can we backup the SQL server compact edition da

our application uses the SQL server 2008 compact edition and entity framework. The application will control the instrument. It may run for several days before it stops. In order to protect the database crash (database failure), we plan to backup SQL compact database during running. Can we backup or duplicate the ~.sdf when application is running? Is there any SQL server command we can call inside the application to achive the backup? Or we only can backup the database when application is not running. thx!

Using SQL Server Compact Edition 4.0

Hello,

I was new to WPF and ADO.NET Entity Framework,

I was developing a WPF application in SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 and connect with LINQ to Entities ,

I was thinking to migrate my database to SQL Server Compact Edition 4.0, can i remain the model i created in CE3.5 and directly adopt the CE 4.0 into my application?

If yes, may I know any references i should add in my project?

Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition & CE6

I have an issue on a Janam barcode scanner (wifi) with an App I have written, it appears the realtime SQL login screen intermittently puts a call onto the network when we run it on CE6. When we run the same app on a Psion scanner with CE5 it works every time. I get the feeling its an SQL timing issue / lockout on the local client as no network traffic happens when it occurs, we restart the app and it sometimes works ??

The app is written in VS2008, the framework is v3.5, the cab on the terminal is sqlce.wce5.armv4i.CAB. there is currently no wce600 build but reading up the wce500 should be OK with ce6 ???

Anyone know of any SQL issues like this or what stops the connection to the SQL Server on the network?
