- SQL Server Integration Services
Runs in-process, not as a service
Stored in .sdf file, max size 4GB, can create
temporary DB (.tmp) for internal use

Supports transactions, referential integrity,
encryption and password protection, query
optimalizer
Doesnt support stored procedures, triggers,
views, user defined functions, full text, CLR
integration, DISTINCT in aggregates

VS (2005 and higher) can work with SQL CE
up to version 3.5
SQL CE 4.0 requires .NET 4, VS 2010 SP1and
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Tools for
SQL Server Compact 4.0 (maybe not required
for Ultimate, Premium and Professional
version)

SQL Server Compact Toolbox - add-in for
Visual studio

Data source
Password
Encrypt
Max buffer size (default 640kB)
Max database size (default 128MB)
Mode (Read Write, Read Only, Exclusive, Shared read)
Default lock timeout
Default lock escalation
Flush interval (default 10s)
Autoshrink threshold (default 60%)
Temp path
Temp file max size (default 128MB)
Locale identifier
Case sensitive (default false)

3 Isolations levels
Read commited (default)
Repeatable read
Serializable

Locks are managed internally by SQL CE
Following resources can be locked:
Rows
4kB data or index pages
Table schemas
Tables
Databases

Locking granularity can be changed
Default lock escalation is 100, can be changed - SET LOCK_ESCALATION 1000;
(affects all tables)
Maximum number of locks per session 262143
sys.lock_information view

Does not have deadlock detection, handled by lock timeout (but does not roll back
or cancel any transaction that contains the statement) - SET LOCK_TIMEOUT 2000;


Explicit transactions
BEGIN TRANSACTION, COMMIT/ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
ADO.NET: BeginTransaction(), Commit(), Rollback()

Works in autocommit mode until BEGIN
TRANSACTION starts explicit transaction

SQL CE does not process statements in batches
CREATE TABLE t (col int);
INSERT INTO t VALUES (1);
INSERTT INTO t VALUES (1);

SQL Server - Syntax error
SQL CE - 2 executed queries, syntax error in third
statement

System.Transactions.TransactionScope (.NET 2.0 and higher)

using (TransactionScope transScope = new TransactionScope())
{
using (SqlCeConnection conn = new SqlCeConnection(connStr))
{
/* Opening conn automatically enlists it in the
TransactionScope as a lightweight transaction. */
conn.Open();

// Do work in the connection...
}

// The Complete method commits the transaction.
transScope.Complete();
}

Distributed transactions are not supported in SQL CE
System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine

Methods
CreateDatabase
Update
Shrink
Repair
Verify


string connStr = @"Data Source = Test.sdf; Password =
<password>";

SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine(connStr);
engine.CreateDatabase();
engine.Dispose();
Server explorer -> connect to selected database
-> right click -> Database properties -> Shrink
and repair

Shrink delete free pages
Compact reclaims empty space in pages
Verify checks all DB pages checksums (every
page is checked when is readed)
Repair repair corrupted pages


Autoflush
Backup/restore/drop copy/delete .sdf file

Server explorer (VS) -> Data connections ->
Add connection -> Select data source and
database file-> complete wizzard
Install SQL CE runtime on desktop with MSI
installer

ClickOnce deployment
Solution explorer -> right click on selected project
-> Properties -> Publish -> Prerequisites -> add
SQL CE -> continue with ClickOnce
Microsoft Sync Framework
SqlCeClientSyncProvider

To migrate data in Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Create a new Web application in Visual Studio.
Connect to Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 through a
database connection.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the project, and then click
Properties.
On the Properties page, click the Package/Publish SQL tab.
On the Package/Publish SQL tab, click Import from Web.config.
Visual Studio reads the application Web.config file to find
connection strings. For each connection string in the Web.config
file, Visual Studio creates a row in the Database Entries grid. By
default, the name in the Database Entries grid is the connection
string name plus a -Deployment suffix.
The ApplicationServices-Deployment row is created in the
Database Entries.
You can also create your own SQL Server Script that will run
during deployment.

An improved SQL Server Express

triggers
