Youd better be kidding with the port number
I said 1212 is a example, is your sql server really configured to listen to port 1212??
Anyways, there could be many reasons for not being able to connect to sqlserver from your device or emulator, is it even cradled?, does it have a connection to the pc?, can you see the pc form the device or emulator?
If you want to make sure your connection string is correct, make a win or web app and try to connect with that connection string
You need to learn to read and to use google or something
You cant even spell my name, its the third time you spell it wrong

yes all the things u specified have been configured, i can c my pc on the emulator
the port num of server is configured to listen to that given in the code.
by the way, sory for misspelling ur name, Alexei.I have googled my eyes to any possible site that could be of any help. The connection string is from "The Definitive Guide to the .NET Compact Framework" written by Larry Roof and Dan Fergus.
I have also visited connectionstrings.com and tried some of the ones given for this purpose.
Am still lost, Thanx for ur help though!

Did you already try the connection string you are using in your mobile app from a windows or web app???

Hi Alexei, when i tried the following string on my desktop with windows application, it connected to the database. However, it failed when I inserted my ip address and also failed on the mobile application.
Dim cn As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
Dim cmd As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim da As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
'Dim conStr As String
cn = New SqlClient.SqlConnection()
Try
' Establish a connection to the SQL Server database.
cn = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("server=CHINEDUM\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\CHINEDU\MY DOCUMENTS\MEDIHEALTH.MDF;Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=CHINEDU;Password=handsome ;")
'cn = New 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("server=192.168.2.101,1212;'database=C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\CHINEDU\MY DOCUMENTS\MEDIHEALTH.MDF;User 'ID=CHINEDU;Password= handsome;")
on the desktop when i used the my Ip, the error says i cant because under the default setings SQL server 2005 does not allow remote connection and that no connection could be made because the target machine has actively refused it. But am sure i have made the necessary config on the server and on my system to allow remote connection.
On the mobile app, the error message is still same.
Do you think there is any other thing i can do or am i just a dummy! cos u've tried to assist me but i cant still figure out. I felt the sol could be simple, but that has not been the case.I dont know if the case is unique to me.
Would gladly welcome any more suggestions!!

When you use an ip, it simulates a remote connection, maybe you havent configured the server yet
Try this: Configure SQl Express to allow remote connections[^]
Also, i think the database must be attached to sqlexpress

All these processes i have followed and even did second time, yet doesn't work.Do you think i should instal a vitrual machine, so that the emulator can use its adapter for network communication.
Am getting more frustrated.Yes the database is already attached to sql server.

I dont think installing VM is necesary for this
Your problem is not the emulator
Your problem is configuring your sqlexpress to accept remote connections, once you do that, you then worry about connecting from the emulator
Keep on searching, im sure the anwer is there

Yes u r right Alexei, the problem was from my sql server.I stumbled on a piece that taught me how to really configure it and it works perfectly now.
Again, Thanks a lot for ur time.
U are the best!!!!.
see links that helped me, may be another person might be having the same issue like i had:

Glad to hear that
Thats the same post that helped me a lot when i was trying to connect to sql2000 from pocket pc
Accessing SQL Server Express from the emulator (or PDA) [^]
If you see the comments, the third and fifth are mine
Unfortunatelly i searched for that post to give it to you but i coulnt find it again, i tought it had been deleted or something because if you see the date, it is like 2 or more years old

true, u said!
but do u know when i uninstalled the microsoft virtual machine that i installed in the course of setting up the emulator, and tried to run the emulator again, i got a message saying that i should install a virtual machine.so i think virtual machine is also vital for complete set up.I had to re-install the virtual machine.

use Exception.ToString(), it provides much more and very useful information.

How New_Id() Function Work in Back Ground i.e how it random ally Generate the Number
when used with order by clause. then what is critiera For Random Generate Number.
Dinesh Sharma

newid() doesn't actually generate random numbers, it generates GUIDs, which have a random part to them, and serve their purpose well for random ordering.
NEWID()
--------
- NEWID() generates GUID's instead of random numbers which is of type in a uniqueidentifier.
Try this:
SELECT NEWID() AS 'NEWID'
Output:
NEWID
-----
259ED1EE-AE35-41D2-9FCA-9FA9538AE5FF
- NEWID is guaranteed to be unique
RAND()
------
- Returns float value between 0 to 1.
Try this:
SELECT RAND() AS 'RANDOM NUMBER'
Output:
RANDOM NUMBER
------------
0.0431138996610296
- RAND() is not guaranteed to be unique
- SQL Server estimation plan says, sorting with NewId() is more time
consuming than Rand(). Rand() number generation is based on time factor
If we sort records with Rand(),the records will get same rand number and
result will be the same as previous.
e.g.
SELECT RAND() RANDOMCOLUMNS,COL1
FROM MYTABLE
ORDER BY RANDOMCOLUMNS
Output:
RANDOMCOLUMNS COL1
--------------------------------------------------------
0.227066653916067 1
0.227066653916067 2
0.227066653916067 3
0.227066653916067 4
As you can make out that the "RANDOMCOLUMNS" values are same through out.
Because random generation factor does not change during record selection.
Whereas, the same query with NEWID() will give the following
RANDOMCOLUMNS COL1
--------------------------------------------------------
B953F9A9-BE22-4651-8669-5CC6A5269911 4
50293D75-4139-4A75-883F-81DAA91ED4E6 1
0A9B1D56-68FD-4060-AA6B-89791DAF8924 3
4C3A2765-4EA2-493B-8AA9-EBA414D7AAC2 2
As you can make out that, unique GUID's has been created in this case.
So in a simple query, doing a simple "ORDER BY RAND()" will not randomly
order the results at all.In this context,NEWID() is much better, though
not more efficient.
For more information on "Generate random sets in SQL Server with NewID()", you can go through this tutorial
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6089823.html#[^] by by Arthur Fuller.
More on RAND()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177610.aspx[^]
and NEWID()
1)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa276822(SQL.80).aspx[^]
2)http://www.sqlmag.com/Article/ArticleID/97032/sql_server_97032.html[^]
3)http://www.sqlmag.com/Article/ArticleID/99807/sql_server_99807.html[^]
N.B.~RAND() sorts on the constant (per SELECT)
NEWID() sorts on a dynamic (per row)
That is why if you look carefully, the COL1 values has been changed in
the 2nd case while it is same in the first.
For information about how are GUIDs sorted by SQL Server, look here

I need to execute the stored procedure recursively..but i am getting an error there is limit of 32 to execute it repeatedly.... how to handle this problem...Any solution
|
|
|
|
|
It becomes a design issue, 32 is the depth of the proc stack, you need to redesign the way you are processing the data, possibly move it to the client or change the way the proc is called.

Why in the world would you switch from an iterative version to a recursive one?
So not only are you incurring more memory overhead, but let's not forget you are running this *IN* SQL SERVER
Try not to use recursive function
Anyway, could you please send the stored proc so that we can have a look on that and tell you a suggestive approach!

ello everyone.
I have an application that communicate with a database in sql server 2005, sometimes I have sql query that fails knowing that they are simple requests for updates. I give an example
I have a person table with a column name
I happen to change the names properly, may at one time given a specific name, a clear line in my table is blocked.
when looking around the net I have found that piece is a lock problem.
because once I restart my application everything works well with this line, but I still fall on another line that is blocked.
the query is:
[Code] SELECT
*
FROM
master.dbo.sysprocesses processlist
INNER JOIN master.dbo.sysdatabases DATABASELIST
ON PROCESSLIST.dbid = DATABASELIST.dbid
WHERE
(DATABASELIST.name = N'VISION_DB ')
[/ CODE]
lastwaitintype=LCK_M_X or LCK_M_X
I started with sql server and I do not know how to not have to lock every time

First of all I am not a database developer and therefore I may well have misunderstood your question.
However:

Maybe try defining an explicit transaction before you do your updates and use a Try ... Catch block for error handling. If the update fails then you can execute a rollback, if the update succees, then execute a commit. By using explicit transactions, you should be more confident that locks are not staying around unwanted.
Database updates require locks to be performed, this is unavoidable. Give it a try.

hello
i am using SQL server 2005 as my back end
now i want report of like from this date to this date...for that i wrote query like
format of my date is dd/MMM/yyyy
If optn1.Checked = True Or optn3.Checked = True Then
sqlstr="select * from des_mast"
sqlstr = sqlstr & "where pickup_date between '" & Me.dtp1.Value & "' and '" & Me.dtp2.Value & "'"
End If
but while executing this query shows an error message like
"incorrect syntax near the keyword 'between'"
please suggest i cant get where the problem is
thank you

The format of your sql or the format of your datetimepicker?
nazimghori wrote: If optn1.Checked = True Or optn3.Checked = True Then
You dont need to compare a booleanvalue with true or false
Just do it like this:
If optn1.Checked Or optn3.Checked Then
Or even better:
If optn1.Checked OrElse optn3.Checked Then
nazimghori wrote: sqlstr="select * from des_mast"
sqlstr = sqlstr & "where pickup_date between '" & Me.dtp1.Value & "' and '" & Me.dtp2.Value & "'"
After concatenating this, i dont think youll get a space between des_mast and where, youll get des_mastwhere
Also, have you tryed using # for the date values: between #12/12/2009# and #12/12/2009#
If you still cant get it to work, you can test manually the query in sql server managment studio
