How can I 'copy' a SQL Express database to SQL Everywhere?

Now that SQL Everywhere can be used on the desktop, how can I create an
'Everywhere' version of a database that I have set up in Express or 2000?
Clearly, as' Everywhere' is a subset, the mobile version may not be
identical, but there must be a way to create the tables, columns and indexes.
Thanks,

John AustinHi,
Take a look into the SQLCMD utility in books online.

most cases the DDL commands are the same or should work with minor
modifications.

From your description, I understand that:
You wanted to know how to create a SQL Everywhere database that you have
created in SQL Express or 2000.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.
Unfortunately by now SQL Server Everywhere Edition support service may not
be available in newsgroup. For your concerns, I recommend that you contact
Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated
Support Professional can assist you in a more efficient manner. Please be
advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.
To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a
look at the web site listed below.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;PHONENUMBERS
If you are outside the US please see http://support.microsoft.com for
regional support phone numbers.
Also, I would like to share you my experiences on SQL Server 2005
Everywhere Edition.
From SQL Server 2005 Everywhere Edition Books Online (How To (SQL Server
Everywhere) - Performing Common Database Tasks), we can see there are five
ways to create an Everywhere database:
1. Create a SQL Server Everywhere database on the server
2. Create a SQL Server Everywhere Database on a Connected Device
3. Create a SQL Server Everywhere Database by Using the Engine Object
(Programmatically)
4. Create a SQL Server Everywhere Database by Using the Replication Object
(Programmatically)
5. Create a Database by Using OLE DB (Programmatically)
Practically I just tried the first and the third method, but I recommend
that you use the third method because I can just find "SQL Server Mobile"
in the "server type" list, not "SQL Server Everywhere".
You can use T-SQL as well as SQL Server 2000 and other editions to create
tables, columns and indexes. For more information, you can refer to SQL
Server 2005 Everywhere Edition Books Online (Especially the How To chapter).
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
know. It's my pleasure to be of assistance.

database in VS 2005, but the script would not execute.

The problem with using script is that the number of deletions and amendments
needed are quite huge.

Hotfix on sp2

Hello,

Just want to know if anybody else has problems with the hotfix ?

I have a sqlserver 2005 on my desktop.

I installed the sp2 before 5th march.

Recently Microsoft changed the sp2 and released a hotfix for sp2 installed(downloaded) before 5th march.

I installed the hotfix but it failed to update the sqlserver engine.

Very weird.

I uninstalled sqlserver 2005, applied the new sp2 (which was smaller compared with previous one)

Today i still received a critical update in windows update.

I installed it, but i still don't trust these updates.

How can i investigate all went well ?

Go to Add/Remove Programs, click on the SQL 2005 entry, click Remove, and then Change. This will show a nice report at the component level and include the versions for each. If they are all at 3152, then your machine is up to date with the cumulative hotfix. If not, go grab it here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933097
