I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express as a database in my desktop application.
My question is how to import from that database (which include table and stored procedure) into SQL Server CE.
Regards,
SQL Server CE doesn't support stored procedure.
Find out the comparison between CE and Express edition in the following link contains Local Data Feature Comparison.

Does the current iteration of fluentmigrator work with SQL Server 2012? Its not listed under the supported databases.
There is no official support for Sql Server 2012 yet. But it should work if you specify SqlServer2008 as the database type. The differences between Sql Server 2005, 2008 and 2012 are not so significant when using FluentMigrator (Sql Server 2000 is a different story). Some features like the new sequence object have no support so in the meantime will have to be run using Execute.Sql.
UPDATE: I tested FluentMigrator against Sql Server 2012 Express with database type specified as SqlServer2008 and it worked fine.
UPDATE: FluentMigrator now officially supports Sql Server 2012 and Sequences.
I'm wondering what the difference is if any between SQL Express and SQL Plus. I know SQL Plus is used with Oracle but not sure if SQL Plus is a modification of SQL Express or a totally different installation.
Thanks
SQL Plus is the command line interface to an Oracle instance, like SQL Server's SQLCMD.
Both Oracle and SQL Server refer to their free versions as Express.
Sql Express is the express version of SQL Server. This can be used for development purpose. Sql Plus comes with Oracle. Its a command line tool to run PL/SQL scripts
You can use SQLS*Plus - this is a free SQL Server tool that acts as SQL*Plus for Oracle
SQL Plus is a console-like interface that can be used with any Oracle database ("Express" or otherwise). You can use it with Oracle's Express Edition or regular Oracle.
MS SQL Express is analogous to Oracle Express Edition.
I am not sure if there is an analogue to SQL Plus from Microsoft.
I have a database currently in SQL Server 2008 to be moved to SQL Server 2005. I would like to backup the 2008 db to a bak file and import it to 2005, but couldn't find any options in SSMS 2008 while taking backup. Has anyone had a similar need in the past? How did you manage this through?
To restore the backup to an older version of SQL Server you can use third party tools, ApexSQL Diff and ApexSQL Data Diff.
You can read detailed explanation of the process in this article: Restoring SQL Server database backup to an older version of SQL Server
Hope this helps

You could try the Publish Database Wizard.
From the link:
The source database must be on an instance of SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, or SQL Server 2008. The target database must be on an instance of SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, or SQL Server 2008.
I don't think you can restore 2008 backup on 2005 server. Try 3rd party schema/data migration tool, like SQL Examiner Suite or RedGate's SQL Compare
You cannot do this. You never could restore a more recent SQL Server database to an older version.
Your only option is to script out the data you need to insert, or use a data comparison tool like Red-Gate SQL Data Compare to compare the two databases (and update your older one from the newer). SQL Data Compare will also work comparing a backup (any version) to a live database on a server.
It's easier than that, since (assuming your db isn't using any 2008-only features) they use the same format (*.mdf). Simply detach your database from your 2008 server, copy the mdf file to the 2005 server, and attach the copy to the 2005 server. Look for the Attach/Detach option when you right click on a database in sql server management studio.
I have 4 SQL Server 2005 db's that I want to move to SQL CE. I know I cannot keep the SProcs,Views, and Functions(Differences Between SQL Server Compact and SQL Server) but I would like to keep everything else.
I have tried this app, SQL Server to SQL Server Compact Edition Database Copy but it errors out on me. I have the source and am looking into it but I thought I'd check and make sure I wasn't over complicating the solution to my ACTUAL goal.
Is there a simple, can be one shot, way of converting standard SQL .mdf to SQL CE .sdf?
Right now my best idea is to set up Replication to the SQL CE from the SQL 2005 Standard.

1.Use SQL Server to SQL Server Compact Edition Database Copy with sqlcompact 3.1 or 3.0 not sql compact 3.5
You can use a virtual machine like sun virtual box, install sql compact 3 or 3.1 on it, and convert your database inside it
2.You can convert to sql compact manually
Use the SDFViewer utility:
go Tools Menu > From SQL Server
Enough said....
What if you scripted the objects from 2005 and ran the script in CE? That'd give you the structure of the DB, then you could select/insert?
I haven't tried this, but what about SQL's DB export/import tools in management studio?
I have set up Oracle Linked server on Sql Server 2005 box using Oracle provider oledb and its working fine from sql server 2005 to oracle 9i, i.e. When i run distributed query from sql server i get data from oracle server to sql server. Now I don't have any clue how do i run distributed query from Oracle server and get data from sql server repeatedly. Do i have to set up Dsn ? What other things i have to set up before i run query from oracle server?
FYI : Oracle server is Sun solaris server and SQL server is x64 Windows Server 2003. Sql server has oracle client installed on it with odac drivers for ORACLE Provider for OLEDB.
I am going to use loadjava to load java into oracle and than move data between both repeatedly. (Java, Stored procedures & Triggers from oracle to get data from sql server)
Here is one way. DG4ODBC setup guide here.
This might help, too.
linking databases is the first phase. After that you may face the problems we faced, like not being able to delete fetched rows from Sql Server to Oracle Server remotely.
I will post a question about that, it is odd that our procedures used for data synching do not respons the same.
