RDA problem

I am attempting to execute an RDA.pull from my master database and it is generating exceptions the second time I attempt the pull.

NOTE: I always drop the table prior to executing the pull.

It seems that after the first time I execute a pull against a particular table name on the PDA I get the following:

"A duplicate value cannot be inserted into a unique index. [ Table name = __sysRDASubscriptions,Constraint name = c_LocalTableName ]"

Given that the table doesn't exist when I do the pull (I have already dropped it, and verified it's non-existence via the Query Analyzer), why does this error appear It's almost as though some artifact of the table still exists in the background somewhere and it doesn't like responding to a pull...

Anyone see this before

    If you call CompactDatabase after dropping the table, does that resolve the error This is just a troubleshooting step to try.

    Good idea Syed, but no luck. It didn't seem to make any difference if I compacted the database and then pulled into the new db created.

    Hi Laxmi

    Thanks for the info. This allows me to see the constraints and indexes, but Sql Mobile doesn't seem to keen on giving them up. When I try to delete my PK constraint (using ALTER TABLE xxx DROP CONSTRAINT) I get a message saying "DDL Operations on this table are restricted".

    One thing I found that works is to simply delete the database file and recreate it prior to calling rda.pull. This would seem to be the simplest--are there any problems you see in this approach

    To know the indexes and their information such as on what table and what columns they are created use this query:

    SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INDEXES;

    Similarly for constraints,

    SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS;

    SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS

    Hope this helps!

    No problem, only if there is no other table in that database. Please make sure that you transfer the data from old database to new database in this approach.

    Thanks for your suggestions Laxmi

    I'm having trouble with this. How can I drop the constraints and PK Indexes if I don't know what they're called It would seem that SQL Server Mobile has assigned generated names to these, and I can't figure out how to drop them.

    Is this even possible

    This only seems to manifest when I choose one of the trackingOn options--when tracking is off, this doesn't happen.

    Hmm..Drop all these

    1) The table you have pulled

    2) The error table (if any you chose)

    3) The PK Indexes of the pulled table (if you pulled with IndexesOn)

    4) The Constraints for that table
