Encryption algorithms used in SQL Compact Edition 3.5

Hi,
In the info for SQL Compact Edition 3.5 it states that one of the features is:
Support for newer and more secure encryption algorithms.
I can't seem to find details of exactly what these new, more secure algorithms are. It appears 3.1 used 128-bit RSA. Is this the same in 3.5, or has this changed?
Thanks

The official word is now out here: http://209.34.241.67/laxmi/archive/2008/04/15/sql-server-compact-database-file-security.aspx

CorrectFilePaths & SQL Compact Edition problems

Hello,
I've got some problems using Application Compatibility Tool and the CorrectFilePaths fix for one of our Applications that use MS SQL Compact Edition 3.5 SP2 for storing users settings.
We are using redirected AppData Roaming (points to P:\Profiles\AppData, P:\ is a network drive), the issue originated with some users having trouble running 2 or more instances of the application. SQL CE only allows ONE process to write to the .sdf file
if it's on a network drive. This is not the case if the .sdf is on a local drive, ex. in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local, so I thought I'd try to use CorrectFilePaths to redirect that .sdf to the local appdata folder.
After many tries to redirect just the .sdf and no luck I decided to try to redirect the whole application folder in Roaming AppData to the Local AppData, this seems to work for everything except the SQL CE .sdf file.. D'oh!
The command I've used with CorrectFilePaths: "%userappdata%\Infor;%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Infor"
Some info from Process Monitor:

Hi,
According to the Process Monitor information, the path you try to create file is not exit. Please confirm the path or file name correct.
According to the error message:
Functions depending on database will not be available.
The path is not valid. Check the directory for the database. [ Path = C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Infor\Infor Smart Office\S0\U0\Local\DB\Mango.sdf ]
It's functions problem, please check it. If so, I think maybe it would be better to provide this question at SQL forum.

How to provide parameter to an encryption algorithm using PeopleSoft PET

Hi, using the PET (pluggable encryption technology) framework. how can we provide parameter values to an encryption algorithm where this algorithm itself is a parameter?
For eg., for pkcs7_encrypted_encrypt algorithm (openssl), PeopleBooks (for pt8.51) shows that the second parameter is a symmetric algorithm. But this symmetric algorithm expects 2 parameters. But how can we provide these parameters while creating the encryption profile?
Any information will be a great help!!

This information is needed for our client security team. I appreciate your help
Thanks

Before you can answer that question, you have to answer the question "what is the zip format"? It is a trick quesetion. There has never been such a thing. Zip was invented by the proverbial "some dude" (Phil Katz) who was a good at coding. The Zip format was never standardized so there is really no such thing as a zip file. There are many zip variants that use different forms of encryption.
The original zip encryption was a homemade algorithm written by Roger Shalfly. He has a PhD in math but this was an early attempt before the field was mature and people starting giving names to individual algorithms. Here is some information about the original zip encryption: http://cs.sjsu.edu/~stamp/crypto/PowerPoint_PDF/8_PKZIP.pdf
And here is a paper about one particular Zip variant: http://eprint.iacr.org/2004/078.pdf

I am using Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can upgrade my current Access 2000 based reports to use MS SQL Compact 3.5. I'm mostly finished upgrading by application, other than the reports. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Hello Danny,
have a look at this thread: Re: Inst. EP6.0 SP2 with MSDE 2000. It helped me installing the MSDE correct. Have you tried the SDN Forums search engine?

Encryption algrothim used for Password reset question and answer

We are trying to write a custom interface to the Password reset service.
The interface is supposed to allow the user to enter a question and answer, then using SAM SDK write the value to the iplanet-am-user-password-reset-question-answer.
The problem is SAM saves the values encrypted, so do any one know the encryption algorithm used and what is key or they are specified.

Only you and Apple know your secret question. See if changing the password via email will allow access to your account.. Then you can chnag yur secret question. See:

Inserting data to a . SDF database (SQL Server Compact Edition connection)

Hi, all.
I'm working on a project that worked fine while connecting to SQL Server 2008. I used a connection string like this:
Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword;
Now, I've replaced all database connections in my project to work with SQL Server Compact Edition, and my connection string is something like this:
Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5;Data Source=myDir\myDataBase.sdf;
After changing the type of connection, I'm getting an error on "DB Tools Insert Data.vi". This is what I get:
Error -2147217872 occurred at NI_Database_API.lvlib:Cmd Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib: DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Main.vi
Possible reason(s):ADO Error: 0x80040E30 Exception occured in Microsoft SQL Server Compact OLE DB Provider: The given type name was unrecognized. [,,,,,] in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Rec Create - Command.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib:Cmd Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib: DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Main.vi
This is a simplified block diagram (as I said, it worked perfectly while using SQL Server 2008 connection):
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Francisco

Hi, Steve. Thanks for your answers.
I worked around this problem by using directly a SQL query instead of this function (you were right, using DBTools Execute Query VI). But now I'm getting problems with other functions, when inserting data into the DB including NULL values.
I make a SQL query like this using DBTools Execute Query VI:
INSERT INTO Table1 (Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5, Column6) VALUES ('Value1', 'Value2', 'Value3', 'NULL', 'Value5', 'Value6')
and get the following error:
ADO Error: 0x80040E07Exception occured in Microsoft SQL Server Compact OLE DB Provider: A literal value in the command could not be converted to the correct type due to a reason other than data overflow. [,,,,,] in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Conn Execute.vi->INSERT (new) restricción (DBCT).vi->Restricciones a Base de Datos (DBCT).vi->Definir - editar restricciones.vi->Main.vi
The same SQL query worked perfectly when using the SQL Server 2008 connection, so it's not a database structure issue.
Could somebody please help me?

Francisco

JDBC driver for SQL Server Compact Edition

I'm trying to run pc java application on Pocket Pc (Mobile 5.0) with SQL Server Compact edition.
The error message is:

SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 C++ Sample

Hi,
I am looking for C++ example using SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5.
I managed to compile and run the "northwindoledb" c++ example, but still, I am looking for source code to 3.5 (And not 3.1).

Hi,
    Someone on this post asked about sample code. I am here, posting sample code to talk to SQL Compact 3.5.
    CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SQLSERVERCE, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IUnknown, (void **)&pDSO);
    pDSO->QueryInterface(IID_IDBProperties, (void**)&pIDBProp);
    hr = pIDBProp->SetProperties(cPropSets, pDbPropSet);
    pDSO->QueryInterface(IID_IDBInitialize, (void**)&pIDBInit);
    hr = pIDBInit->Initialize();
    pIDBInit->QueryInterface(IID_IDBCreateSession, (void **) &pIDBCSession);
    pIDBCSession->CreateSession(NULL, IID_IUnknown, (LPUNKNOWN *) &pDBSession);
    pDBSession->QueryInterface(IID_IDBCreateCommand, (void **)&pIDBCreateCommand);
    pIDBCreateCommand->CreateCommand(NULL, IID_IUnknown, (IUnknown **)&pCommand);
    hr = pCommand->QueryInterface(IID_ICommandText, (void **)&pICommandText);
    hr = pICommandText->SetCommandText(DBGUID_DBSQL, (LPCOLESTR)pszSQL);
    hr = pCommand->QueryInterface(IID_ICommand, (void **)&pICommand);
    hr = pICommand->Execute(NULL, IID_NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
and CLSID_SQLSERVERCE for 3.5 is (As you might already know)
GUID CLSID_SQLSERVERCE = {0xf49c559d, 0xe9e5, 0x467c, {0x8c, 0x18, 0x33, 0x26, 0xaa, 0xe4, 0xeb, 0xcc}};

Windows 8 Photo gallery can't start because Microsoft SQL server 2005 compact edition is missing?

I've installed & uninstalled MS SqlSever 2005 in my system (OS - Windows 8). When am try to access my photo gallery on desktop, I'm getting above mentioned error. How come photo gallery is dependent on MS SqlServer 2005 compact edition? Now,
I've installed & using MS SqlServer 2008.

ErikEJ,
I tried the link you provided and it points to the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition that will not install in Windows 8. IS there some other package you are trying to send us to? I cannot install / run Photo Gallery because it needs SQL Server 2005 Compact
Ed and the latter when run reports it is not compatible with my operating system, ie., Windows 8 Pro, x64.
Can you help?

Remote sql server 3.5 compact edition

hi sir,
what is the correct vb.net remote connection string for sql server 3.5 compact edition if my database is inside vps or from remote computer?
thanks in advanced

You cannot access a SQL Server Compact dataabase remotely, use SQL Server Express instead.
Please mark as answer, if this was it. Visit my SQL Server Compact blog http://erikej.blogspot.com

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting
Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.;
Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:

By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

Error message says it all.
With SQL Express, Data source should be local SQL DB.
With SQL Enterprise, Standard, BI edition, you can create Data soruce which are hosted on other servers.
