Bug #: 50001130 (SQL Hotfix)



Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



SUMMARY
This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
 * The issues that are fixed by the hotfix package
 * The prerequisites for installing the hotfix package
 * Whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
 * Whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
 * Whether you must make any registry changes
 * The files that are contained in the hotfix package



SYMPTOMS
When you run the Upgrade.exe file to upgrade a database from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Microsoft Windows CE Edition 2.0 (SQL Server CE) to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition, you receive the following error message:

HRESULT: 0x80040e21

Source: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition OLE DB Provider

Description: The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only. [Required Max Database Size (in MB; 0 if unknown),,,,,]

Database upgrade failed

This problem occurs if the database is larger than 128 megabytes (MB).

Note You receive a similar error message when you upgrade a database from SQL Server CE to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Upgrade.exe file makes a connection to the source database when you run the Upgrade.exe file. Additionally, the Upgrade.exe file specifies a default database size of 128 MB. The Upgrade.exe file does not override this default database size if the database is larger than 128 MB.
