Labview connection to SQL compact

Dear friends,
I am developing an application using LV touch panel module in order to run in a Windows CE 5.0 controller.
On the same controller I have SQL server compact 3.5 and I was planning to use it in order to store the necessary data. The problem is that I cannot find a way to connect to it from labview and run the queries I need.
Please advise.

The DB Tools Open Connection VI is a polymorphic VI which can take a string as an input. You just use the connection string as the input. You don't have to setup anything in ODBC to have this work.

SQLite, Firebird or SQL compact

Hi All,
I'm trying to replace an existing applications use of text and excel files for data storage with an embedded database model. I've narrowed it down to 3: Sqlite, Firebird, and Microsofts SQL Compact.
For simplicity i like sqlite, but i'd like some thread safety, and concurrency.
My biggest hang up in trying to finalize my decision, is that in the future i'll want to query another database (i.e query a customer's remote database to retrieve employee passwords) or allow another database to insert or query my tables to retrieve operational data. My google-fu is strong, but I have yet to see examples or read documentation that specifically mentions whether this is possible. What's the correct terminology? I've seen discussions about linked databases (pros and cons), as well as cross database queries, but never a definitive "Yes, i did this... and it worked". It could be so commonly done that noone mentions it, and i'm just retarded. :-/
If i adopt Firebird, will a customer with SQL Server just be able to use an odbc connection to interact with my database? It's got to be a simple thing, i'm just missing it.
Please help me put this monkey to rest.

NI has a design pattern solution for SQLLite that even works on their CompactRIO RT controller hardware to use SQLLite from within LabVIEW. And http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ shows an ODBC driver for SQLLite. There are of course problems since the ODC driver contains the actual SQLLite engine and accesses the database file. So remote access through ODBC seems not trivial, though you could of course share the database file over the network and access it through an ODBC driver installed on a different computer. This probably still leaves the difficulty how to deal with concurrent access to the database file if your client tries to query the database file at the same time as your application has it open to write or query data from it.
Firebird also has an ODBC driver: http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=files&id=odbc. Firebird seems to either have a filebased access model that does allow concurrent access to the same database as well as a so called super server mode, where a service process controls access to the database file(s) and access is done through network communication to this service process. Not sure if the ODBC driver supports the super server mode transparently but if it does this would be a very easy solution to have your application use the database to store date and allow your clients to query the database from other computers directly.
Microsoft SQL Compact I'm not sure. If this is what was before the SQL Server Desktop Edition, then it is basically a full featured SQL Server installation with the database size limitation to 2GB. This would certainly work also with remote access through ODBC and/or ADO .Net. But if you have ODBC drivers for your database you can basically access it through ADO ActiveX or ADO .Net as well and it doesn't even have to be slower if the driver and interface are done well.

Northwind sample and SQL Compact 3.5 (PROBLEMS)

using vb express
I'm totaly new to the VB and SQL
Using the Learn VB and getting to the part about "Displaying Related Data"
When I try to add a connection
Using SQL Server Compact 3.5 as a Data Source
Using (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Samples\Northwind.sdf) as Database
no password
hit ok
and I get the error access to the database is not allowed. [file name = C:\Program files\microsoft SQL Server Compact
Edition \v3.5\Samples\Northwind.sdf]
What Am I doing wrong. It can't be that hard, IS IT?

For diagnostic purposes, try the following.
Create a new project; a VB Windows Forms project.
In the Data Sources view, create a data source for:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Samples\Northwind.sdf
If you do not understand that, then ask for clarification. If the wizard says that the database is not part of the project, then answer the question by saying no, that you do not want a copy made. However note that that (let the wizard make a copy) is probably what you actually want to do for development purposes, but for now, we want to test the situation where you read from the original copy.
In the "Choose Your Database Objects" page, choose (put a check in a checkbox) a table and only one table; any table. The important thing is to select at least one table; it will likely work if you select all tables.
Now, be sure that the form is being viewed in design view. If you have just now created the project, then the form is being viewed in design view. In the Data Sources view, click on the table (a table) and there will be a drop-down box; select DataGridView. Then drag the table and drop onto the form. Adjust the size and position to your preferences. Compile and test that. Note that you do not need to add or modify any code yourself, but you can put the following in the
Form1_Load event to verify that the datasource is what you think it is:
Code SnippetMessageBox.Show(Me.CategoriesTableAdapter.Connection.ConnectionString)
Note that this program is only reading; it is not updating but I think that the connection is capable of updates. The important thing is to determine if you can do this much; I can and I do not remember if I made any modifications to allow it to happen. I might have modified the security on the file to allow update access; I am not sure.

Error -2147418113 when connecting with SQL toolkit

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:

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.

I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
many times and cannot connect to my local DB.
How do I connect to my Local DB?
Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated.
Some of the things I have tried:
From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR
net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

I'd recommend that you not use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver to connect to SQL Server. M$ and jTDS are two free type IV JDBC drivers that you should use instead. Put those JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
The database URL you're using is not correct if you change drivers. Consult the docs to find out what the proper syntax is.

How can i connect to SQL Server 7.0 on Windons Using JDBC

How can i connect to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 on a windows enviroment ?
in sql server 2000 some jar files are required that is
What you need to do is actually add all three jar files to your class path individually. There are three jar files that come with this driver the msbase.jar, msutil.jar, and mssqlserver.jar. for sqlQ server 2000.
now the problem is that i cant find these files on my system. firstly where these files will be located. secondly are they will be used to connect to SQL Server 7.0. thirdly if not what is the procedure.
My next Problem is that I have Websphere Studio Application Developer. in which their is this facility of Database Webpages its like a wizard which makes automatically beans servlets and JSP but before that you need a Driver Name and and Class Name for to Connect to the Database.
Can you tell what is the specific Driver Path for the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 . secondly is this the class which is used to connect to SQL server 7.0 "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" where can i find this one. for SQL server 7.0.
please provide some guidance in this regard.

You can search for the JDBC drivers at, http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers
All the three jars that you specified are part of MsSQL Server jdbc driver. You need them (in the classpath) to get connected to the database.
"com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" is the class in mssqlserver.jar. This is the driver class which will be used to get connected to the database.
You can search in this forum for writting jdbc code (for Sql Server). If you don't find these jars, give me your e-mail id.
