It this a Virus (br0ther.exe) ?

It appeared in my startup and it wasn't there until recently..
br0ther.exe microsoft synchronization manager
the binary for Windows Synchronization manager is mobsync.exe.
A web search on br0ther.exe doesn't give any matches. I'm not sure what it is. I'd rename it to something like br0ther.bak and see what happens

isqlw.exe

Hello,

I notice that the name of the Query Analyzer program (formerly
known as ISQL/W) is still isqlw.exe in SQL Server 2000. I am
curious as to where the name ISQL/W came from.

Feedback welcome,

Best Regards,

Neil,

It's always been my understanding that the "w" in isqlw stood for Windows:
isql was the original command line interface to SQL Server and isqlw was the
GUI "version" of the same concept.

In the begiinning there was Sybase, and their interactive interface to
SQL Server was ISQL - Interacticve SQL.

Microsoft teamed up with Sybase and supplied the Windows version of
SQL Server.

Later Microsoft cancelled the partnership with Sybase and the two
went on to develop SQL Server each on their own. Microsoft augmented
the toolset with a graphical interface and this was named ISQL/W,
where W certainly was for Windows. ISQL/W hung around until 6.5.

For SQL 7, Microsoft developed a new tool, the Query Analyzer with
richer set of functionality and which used ODBC to connect and not
DB-Library. For reasons unknown to me, the executable retained the
name isqlw.exe.

Isqlw for sql server mobile edition (sql ce 3)

In sql ce 2.0 in window ce 2003, I use isqlw20.exe to create database and table. Developed application with eVC++ 4.0

Now I have to use window mobile 5, VS 2005 for native C++ development, sql server mobile edition, but I can't found isqlw for this version of sql. I do not have sql server install in my desktop PC. So how could I create database and table with the pocket pc's database ?

Thanks.

ISQLW30.EXE is available from SQL Mobile 3.0 for Pocket PC and Pocket PC Phone Edition Devices/Emulators.

If you have installed SQL Mobile 3.0 cabs, you should find a shortcut getting created automatically in Start Menu.

Thanks,
