sql server ce

  • Hi,

    could someone tell if it's possible to synchronize a database between sql server ce and sql server 2005 express? Or if this could be only done between sql server 2005 and sql server ce.

    Thanks id advance,

    Nuno Silva

  • CE only supports merge replication (as far as I know) and, from MSDE, it only supports Merge in both directions (transactional subscriber not publisher, and snapshot are also available).  So yes, CE + Express should be good as MS haven't taken away merge replication.

    Do a search on MS website to see if merge replication is still there in Express just to be sure.

  • Hi again,

    it seems that sql server 2005 express only supports act as a subscriber and not as a publisher.

    "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition cannot serve as a Publisher or Distributor. However, merge replication allows changes to be replicated in both directions between a Publisher and Subscriber."

    I need to make a synchorization between a sql server express and mobile batabases, could you help with any suggestion?

    Thanks in advance,

    Nuno Silva.
