High-Performance Database

Engine
SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition
offers full relational database
functionality in the small footprint
necessary for the memory limitations of
todays devices. Developers familiar
with Microsoft SQL Server will
appreciate the robust feature set, which
includes:
Full referential integrity with

cascading deletes and updates


A wide range of data-types, including:

TINYINT, SMALLINT, INTEGER,


BIGINT

REAL, NUMERIC, FLOAT DOUBLE

Product Highlights
Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Windows CE Edition extends
the SQL Server product family
to new devices, such as the
Microsoft Windows-powered
Pocket PC, while providing a
consistent programming model
for rapid application
development. It delivers
essential relational database
functionality in a small
footprint, a robust data store,
and an optimizing query
processor. It also offers
reliable, scalable, and bidirectional merge replication
capabilities.
Rapid Application
Development
SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition
makes application development easy,
while providing a consistent
development model and API set. Visual
Basic developers can rapidly develop
Windows CE applications using
embedded Visual Basic and Active Data
Objects for Windows CE (ADOCE). C+
+ developers can use their existing skills
to build sophisticated Windows CEbased database applications that target
mobile and embedded solutions for sales
force automation, service dispatch,
point-of-sale, and shop floor
management using embedded Visual C+

BIT, BINARY, VARBINARY

+ and ADOCE or OLE DB for


Windows CE.

UNICODE character data types


NATIONAL CHARACTER,
NATIONAL CHARACTER VARYING,
NTEXT

IMAGE, MONEY, DATETIME


UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, IDENTITY
32 indexes per table, multicolumn

indexes
NULL support
Nested transactions
128-bit file level encryption
DDL Create/alter databases,

referential integrity, default values


DML INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
SELECT SET Functions

sub-select, GROUP BY/HAVING

Scrollable and forward-only cursors

Merge Replication
Merge replication in SQL Server 2000
Windows CE Edition is based upon SQL
Server 2000 merge replication and is
ideally suited to portable devices,
because it enables data to be updated
independently on the portable device and
the server. The data on the device and the
server can later be synchronized when
the device is connected to the server.
Usage scenarios for merge replication
include: read-only replication; data
capture and upload; and replicate,
update, and synchronize. Most
applications will use these replication
alternatives in combination. For
example, a sales support application
might use read-only replication to
download a price list to a device while
relying on data capture and upload to
capture new orders on the device and
easily upload them to a server. This same
application might use replicate, update,
and synchronize to download customer
information, enabling information to be
updated on the device. The resulting data
could then be uploaded to the server.
The database administrator can use both
horizontal and vertical filters to define
and maintain unique subsets of data for
different clients or groups or clients.
Horizontal filters can be used to replicate
a subset of rows in a published table.
Vertical filters can be used to replicate a
subset of the columns in a published
table.

General Stages to Merge


Replication

1. The database administrator creates


a publication containing SQL Server
data that is eligible for replication. A
publication is simply a collection of
articles. An article is simply a table that
is eligible for replication.
2. Once the database administrator
defines the publication, a Windows CE
application can subscribe to the
publication by invoking the Replication
Object. The published data is then
downloaded to the SQL Server database
on the Windows CE device.
3. The data in the database can then be

updated by applications running on


the Windows CE device.
4. The Windows CE application
invokes the Replication Object to
trigger synchronization. For example,
the application may choose to perform
synchronization at the users request or
when the device first connects to the
server. When synchronization is
performed, the updates made to the
replica are sent to the publisher where
they are merged into the publishers
database. Similarly, changes made at
the publisher since the initial download
or most recent merge are sent to the
Windows CE device where they are
merged into the database.

Message-Based Internet
Replication
SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition
performs synchronization by establishing
an HTTP connection to SQL Server
through Microsoft Internet Information
Server (IIS). It uses the authentication,
authorization, and encryption services of
IIS and can communicate with a SQL
Server system located behind a firewall
or proxy server. Replication can be
performed over wired and wireless local
area networks (LANs) and wide area
networks (WANs). The communication
protocol is well suited for wireless
transports. Compression reduces the
amount of transmitted data and
encryption safeguards sensitive user
data. Following a communication
failure, transmissions resume from the
last successful transmission.

Remote Data Access (RDA)


RDA provides a simple way for a
Windows CE application to access SQL
Server data located in a remote SQL
Server 6.5, SQL Server 7.0, or SQL
Server 2000 database. RDA can be used
whether the Windows CE device is
continuously connected or intermittently
connected to the SQL Server system.
Applications use RDA when they do not
need the full functionally of merge
replication. You can use RDA without
configuring SQL Server replication or
creating publications.
Applications can use RDA in two ways.
The application can submit a SQL Data
Manipulation Language (DML)
statement that is simply forwarded to the
SQL Server system for execution.
Alternatively, the application can submit
a SQL query that returns a row set. The
resulting row set is transmitted to the
Windows CE device where it is stored in
a table. All changes made by the
application will be tracked, and at the
request of the application, the updated
rows will be sent back to the server
where they are applied to the SQL Server
database.
RDA uses the authentication,
authorization, and encryption services of
IIS. It supports anonymous and basic
authentication as well as SSL
encryption.

Support for all Windows CE


platforms
SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition
runs on Windows CEP/PCs (palm-size
PC and Pocket PC), H/PCs (Handheld),
and

embedded systems running Windows


CE version 2.11 and later operating

systems. It runs on all Windows CE


2.11-supported CPUs including SH3/4,
