Hi
I just add new version number, so that this program could be able to support SQL Server Compact Edition V3.5 Sp2.
Just open the SQLToSQLCompactCopy-source\Dialogs\SelectMobileAssembliesDialog.cs and replace the current "Check35version()" function with
private bool Check35version(string path)
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
return false;
FileVersionInfo ver = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(path);
if (ver.FileVersion == "3.5.8080.0")
{
_Ver35Valid = true;
return true;
}
else
{
_Ver35Valid = false;
return false;
}
}

Why does the solution reference projects GLT.Common and GLT.Licensing which are not included, and do not appear to be required?

Hello
Great tool if I could get it to work... 
I get the following exeption thrown when it tries to create the database:
Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\sqlcecompact35.dll' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
I am running it on a Vista Home machine with Visual Studio 2008 pro. I have SQL Express 2005 and SQL CE 3.5 sp2
Hope you can help!
Many thanks in advance.

There's a small problem with varbinary columns. They are created with length 1. Simple change in wizardForm.cs @472 fixes this issue:
if (datatype == SqlDataType.NVarChar || datatype == SqlDataType.NChar || datatype == SqlDataType.VarBinary)
sb.Append(" (").Append(col.DataType.MaximumLength.ToString()).Append(") ");
Anyway, software is great! Thanks, Johnny!

Hello
I´m trying to copy a SQL Server DB to a SQL Compact DB using the SQL Server to SQL Compact Edition DB Copy, everything goes fine but when I do the last step (Finish) I get an error that says:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentException: Invalid value for key 'locale identifier'. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
The "Summary & Review" window shows my connection string that is:
SQL Server Compact Edition Connection String:
Data Source='C:\';LCID=myuser;Password=mypassword;Encrypt=FALSE;SSCE:Max Database Size=4091;
To complement the information, the source database is not local.
Any ideas?

Well, I decided not to write a used ID and now it says:
"You do not have permissions to save the file to C:\. Please select a different destination path and try again"
and this happens with any paths a try.

Hello,
I have used SQL Compact previously and I never used the "USER" property. At the moment the code is looking for a Locale Identifier (LCID) which a four digit country code:
CultureInfo myCIintl = new CultureInfo("en-AU", false);
Console.WriteLine(myCIintl.LCID);
Console.ReadLine();
This all has nothing to do with the connection string. Change the string to:
string mobileConnStr = "Data Source='{0}';Persist Security Info=True;Password={2};Encrypt={3};SSCE:Max Database Size=4091;";
in the file OutputCtrl.cs (to be found in the Control folder)

Hi Johnny,
Nice tool you've created. It certainly fills the lack which MS leaves and avoids manual scripting.
I've noticed two things which caused minor problems: if a column in SQL Server has GETUTCDATE() as default value, there's an issue because CE does not have this function.
So I've solved this by adding the next line in WizardForm.cs - DoCopy():
if (col.DefaultConstraint != null && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(col.DefaultConstraint.Text))
{
col.DefaultConstraint.Text = col.DefaultConstraint.Text.Replace("(getutcdate())", "(getdate())");
string def = col.DefaultConstraint.Text.Replace("((", "(").Replace("))", ")");
sb.Append(" DEFAULT ").Append(col.DefaultConstraint.Text);
}
The second thing I encountered is the script-creation for a ForeignKey on Multi-Column Key's.
Only the first referenced column was included and there was a problem with the square brackets.
string createFKSql = String.Empty;
if (sourceDb.Tables[fk.ReferencedTable].Indexes[fk.ReferencedKey].IndexedColumns.Count == 1)
{
createFKSql = String.Format(fkSql, tbl.Name, fk.Name, "{0}", fk.ReferencedTable, sourceDb.Tables[fk.ReferencedTable].Indexes[fk.ReferencedKey].IndexedColumns[0].Name);
}
else if (sourceDb.Tables[fk.ReferencedTable].Indexes[fk.ReferencedKey].IndexedColumns.Count > 1)
{
createFKSql = String.Format(fkSql, tbl.Name, fk.Name, "{0}", fk.ReferencedTable, "{1}");
string referencedColumns = String.Empty;
foreach(IndexedColumn iCol in sourceDb.Tables[fk.ReferencedTable].Indexes[fk.ReferencedKey].IndexedColumns)
{
if (referencedColumns.Length > 0)
referencedColumns = referencedColumns + "], [";
referencedColumns = referencedColumns + iCol.Name;
}
createFKSql = String.Format(createFKSql, "{0}", referencedColumns);
}
StringBuilder sbFk = new StringBuilder();
foreach (ForeignKeyColumn col in fk.Columns)
{
if (sbFk.Length > 0)
sbFk.Append("], [");
sbFk.Append(col.Name);
}
But, as I said: only minor issues on a great tool
Sorry if I haven't used the 'best' coding-practice on these snippets, but I'm not a C#, but VB.Net developer.
Kind regards,
Michael

For the other SQL Server CE 3.5 SP1 people, I was able to get it to work by modifying SelectMobileAssembliesDialog.cs line 98 to:
if (ver.FileMajorPart == 3 && ver.FileMinorPart == 5)
Also, I ran into some issue in the FinishCtrl.cs trying to update the progress bar based on the number of rows. As I was only using this for a POC, I didn't debug it (I think my data made it!  and instead hacked lines 58 & 59 to say:
progressBar1.Maximum = Math.Max( value, max );
progressBar1.Value = Math.Min( value, max );
Other than that it worked great! Thank you very, very much for developing this tool, and for releasing the source to the community.

I had this error whiloe trying to upgrade database
"The specified data type is not valid. [ Data type (if known) = Timestamp ]"
please help me
|
|

Hi,
SQL CE doesn't have a timestamp type so there no "obvious" mapping here. You can try to map Timestamp to Binary(8), but new rows won't have new timestamps. You have to do it manually in your code with SQL CE.

Hy,
this tool ist very good, but I have a problem with the primery keys.
In all of my tables are one colum with an ID. This ID is the primerykey of this table.
If I make an import the ID´s are all minus 1.
Have anybody a solution for me?

I am trying to copy a 2 GB file to SQL server Compact. The program keeps on reporting an "Out of Memory" exception. There is one large field (ntext type) The file was originally an access database with a memo field that was converted to SQL server express 2008. Program seems to work well except for this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi
this tool is really great, i just found out it doesn't work with NVARCHAR(MAX) columns. To make it works, you need to add one more case in WizardForm.cs which can look like this (works for me):
foreach (Column col in tbl.Columns)
{
if (colIdx > 0)
sb.Append(", ");
sb.Append("[").Append(col.Name).Append("]").Append(" ");
int max = 0;
switch (col.DataType.SqlDataType)
{
case SqlDataType.NVarCharMax:
max = 4000;
col.DataType = new DataType(SqlDataType.NVarChar);
col.DataType.MaximumLength = max;
break;
I know that in SQL Server Compact 3.5 the maximum value of NVARCHAR data type is 4000, so I set it to that value, I'm not sure about other versions.
Anyway, thanks again for this great tool!

I was having problems generating ADO Entity model from a ce db generated with this excelent tool:
"error 6003: The item with identity 'Id' already exists in the metadata collection."
I made the following change:
WizardForm
Line 532
sb.Append("ALTER TABLE [").Append(tbl.Name).Append("] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_");
to
sb.Append("ALTER TABLE [").Append(tbl.Name).Append("] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_" + tbl.Name);
Now it works great !
Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your modification, it helps me a lot !
Of course, in your patch, we can comment the following loop :
sb.Append("ALTER TABLE [").Append(tbl.Name).Append("] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_" + tbl.Name);
//create the constraint name
/* Francois : Not need to append the primary field name to the constraint !
for (int k = 0; k < pKeys.Count; k++)
{
if (k > 0)
sb.Append("_");
sb.Append(pKeys[k]);
}
*/
Best regards,
François.

Hi, this is Great work, thanks a lot!
I only noticed one thing..
I was copying two tables, between which there was a foreign key relationship. But the program does not run the foreign key creation code if I dont select the Copy Data option in the interface. That misleaded me a bit, but anyway i got it working!
You saved my life! 
BTW, on idea for a future version: Could extracting the script of a given SqlCE be done? I love the Script-To abilities of Mangement Studio but I dont knwo what the MS guys were thinking by not implementing that so handy feature in the CE environment.

Hi,
The main procedure DoCopy() has a lot of nested conditions (maybe a little code refactoring will be nice ) and the part with the comment "Now add the FK relationships" is included in the data process copy ! You have to correct and move the FK relationship creation process out of the Data Copy process.
François.
