I have some questions about SQL Server Compact Edition.
Now we are using SQL Server 2008 and developing in Visual Studio 2008 C#.net
and linq for connect database.
My questions are:
Is it possible to change our database to SQL Server Compact Edition?
What is the differece between both of this?
Is there any limitions when using SQL Server CE, for eg. database size, data size?
Can CE version support all data type from SQL Server 2008?
best regards,
Indi

I need to convert a SQL Server Compact database file to SQL Server, so I think generate script is the best way, but I can't find anything in SQL Server CE Toolbox 3.5
Is there a workaround?
Is it possible to generate scripts from SQL Server 2008 that can then be used in SQL Server Express editions or is it not possible. I read it is not possible, but is there another way.
Sure - what are you trying to do??
SQL Server and the Express editions are binary compatible - you could even just create a backup on your "full" SQL Server and restore it on your Express version....
unless you are using features that are in Enterprise Edition and up (like data compression, partitioning, etc etc) the scripts should be fine to run on Express edition
Can SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition be installed in the same server environment as SQL Server 2005?
Thank you!
Indeed they can. SQL Server CE is an embeddable database that runs inside your application process. It does not interact with other processes. You can even have multiple SQL CE applications running on the same machine.
I have management studio 2005 and 2008, can the 2008 version be setup to connect to 2005? I understand there are new features in 2008 that I wouldn't be able to use, but I mainly use the software to graphical create new tables and assign relationships.
Yes, Sql Server Management Studio 2008 works with Sql Server 2005. However, it does not work with Sql Server 2000.
I incorrectly stated that it doesn't work with Sql Server 2000, while in fact it does. However, having said that, it's probably not going to give you a whole lot usability options if you're connecting to Sql Server 2000.

Hi
I have been using SQL server 2000 for a few years but now have access to SQL server 2008 for development.
Apart from the obvious things like the new management studio and intellisense what are the main features and benefits of SQL server 2008?
What is the general consensus on the performance of the management studio compared to the out dated SQL 2000 enterprise manager and query analyzer applications?
Thanks
Check out this question. Granted the title is for advantages of 2008 over 2005, I think the feature list is quite comprehensive and will show you all that 2000 isn't offering.
SQL Server Management Studio is a lot nicer than Enterprise Manager. It is a little different since SSMS uses more of a Visual Studio interface. But there are lot more features in SSMS easily available.
