how to include an apostrophy inside a string
wondering how to do this?
for example
UPDATE table
SET field2 = 'text to enter to table's but does not work'
WHERE field1 = 133
the second apostrophy I want to not end the text section with.
Thanks.

retreive a long text field and then copy and paste it to a word doc it looks
like it only returns the first portion of the large text string. Also is
there anyway to view a large text field from query analyzer when you open the
table? thanks again.

that you should look in Tools--> Options --> Results --> Maximum charcters
per column
to increase it to 8000

Results in File
or you use OSQL on the commandline with the -o <outputfile >switch

How to import data from Excel file to SDF database
Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me how can I achieve the file import of XLS file and read the data inside to insert into the respective table in my SDF database in the mobile devices?
Thanks.
Regards,
Jenson
Since Pocket Excel does not have any object model you’d need to reverse engineer Excel file format, write a parser for these files and then (the easy part) parse it, load data and insert it into SQL CE database. On a desktop you can open data connection to the Excel file and that task become much easier. You might also consider using some other format, e.g. XML or CSV.

Hi IIya,
Thanks for replying to my question, I'm still have some doubts. First of all, how would the parser like, what is the processes need to be taken care of? And I have a form that allow users to upload the Excel file, do I check whether the file has been finished uploaded, and then run the parser to parse all the data out into a text file, from that file insert into SQLCE? Please pardon me for my dumb questions, as I have no prior experience dealing with SQLCE in this way, I only did simple storing and retrieving of data on SQLCE.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jenson
|||anyone could help me with this?|||Jenson, you have to explain a bit more about your requirements for us to help you. Do you want to import Excel Mobile files that reside on the mobile device via an app on the mobile device or ?|||Hi ErikEJ,
I have found out that I can't do that =p
So I give up on that and have a workaround, now I have problem exporting data from SDF to Excel file. I will make a new thread for this, hope you and the rest would be able to help me out, very urgent.
Thanks.
