I'm trying to connect my SQL Server Compact Edition database to Crystal Report. I've been searching all day long and I've found many question related to it so far on other websites, but none had a working answer. I also found this question in this site which has asked for VB.Net solution. And this link which is all over the internet and has a confusing way to do it by XML, which I couldn't figure it out. There are other links with solutions in SQL Server and Access which don't help. SQL Server solution Access Solution I'm wondering is there a simple way to connect a SQL Server CE database to

I have just moved one of my projects into VS2010/fx4.0 and am using a SQL CE database as the backing store. Since moving it to this version of .NET I am now getting this error: Server-generated keys and server-generated values are not supported by SQL Server Compact. My table was defined with a PK of UserName (string) & DoorOpen (datetime) as SQLCE required there be a PK on every table in fx3.5. Now that I am in fx4.0 I am stumped. I've googled for this and every answer I found was: SQLCE does not support auto-generating values (which I am most certainly not needing) so put a GUID ID on there

Does anyone know if I can use SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 on mono? I'm hoping they are written as managed assemblies and will work ok..does anyone have any experience? All of the SQL Compact (except System.Data.SqlCe.dll obviously) are native libraries, so no they won't work under non-Windows platforms. Pretty replacement for SQL CE is SQLite SQLite ADO.NET Provider is portable and exists on Microsoft.NET and Mono http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com http://www.mono-project.com/SQLite native components is exists for most major platforms and source code also available (By 'on mono' I assume you

I have been playing around with SQL and databases in C# via SqlCeConnection . I have been using ExecuteReader to read results and BigInt values for record IDs which are read into Longs. Today I have been playing with SQL statements that use COUNT based statements ('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM X') and have been using ExecuteScalar to read these single valued results. However, I ran into an issue. I can't seem to store the values into a Long data type, which I have been using up to now. I can store them into Int64's. I have been using BigInt for record IDs to get the maximum potential number of records

We have an old application that was written in Delphi 7. It is currently connected to an old Oracle Lite database that is being retired. The powers that be have chosen to move the data to a Microsoft SQL Server Compact database instead. After sepending a good amount of time moving everything over to the SQL CE database, I am now tasked with getting the Delphi application to play nice with the new databases. The people who are supposed to be smarter than I am (my boss), tell me that I should be able to simply modify the connection and everything should be back in order. However, I have been

Is it possible to make efficient queries that use regular expression feature set.I got data in my table which is not in correct format,EX:-In Title colum: Cable 180┬░ To 90┬░ Serial ATA Cable and in Id column 123234+ data in exponential format,it is possible to make queries using regular expression in Sqlserver2008. You need to make use of the following. Usually requires combinations of the three: patindex charindex substring In response to your comment above, patindex should not 0 where the case is found. patindex finds the start location of the pattern specified, so if patindex finds

I implemented a bidirectional 1:1 relationship based on this answer: Primary /Foreign Key in Entity Framework I define the bidirectional relation this way: public class Student { public virtual int StudentId { get; set; } public virtual Anamnesis Anamnesis { get; set; } . . . } public class Anamnesis { [Key, ForeignKey("Student")] public int AnamnesisId { get; set; } public virtual Student Student { get; set; } . . . } where, Student is the principal entity and Anamnesis it the entity that shares the PK. Now I'd like that the relationship created had a Delete Rule = CASCADE. Actually, the

i am new at SQL Server CE and using Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server CE 3.5. I want to know that what the best way of inserting bulk records into SQL Server CE database? Does BULK INSERT statement work for SQL Server CE? I have nearly 45 tables and some of these tables should have large amount of data. Using command.Prepare is enough or is there more efficient and fast way? SQL CE does not have a bulk insert command. For the best raw performance opening a an updateable SqlCeResultset using a TableDirect SqlCeCommand is your fastest bet. It bypasses the query processor altogether, and is actually
