I have seen articles and screen shots suggesting that the visual tools (as
opposed to action queries) in Management Studio Express can be used to
create and manage SQLS 2005 CE databases? My version of MSE (SP!) doesn't
have these features.

Ginny,
I've installed all SDK, CE3.1, Server Tools for SQLServer 2005 SP1
I've reset the path to my C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact
Edition\v3.1 but there isn't a sqlcesa30.dll file in that directory.  Do you

Hi again,
apparently I was able to install compact edition successfully. However,
when I try to connect from VS2005, and from SQL Server Management Studio it

I'm using RDA to grab data from a SQL Server 2005 database.  Apparently, at

at all?
Or if it's Sql Server 2000 I have to use SQL CE 2?

Is the new SQL Server Everywhere now available? I think it may be
called SQL Server Compact now?
Basically want to know (1) How to get it? (I have VS 2005 installed
with the new SP1 service pack), and (2) Can this new version now be

I've got a Pocket PC app with a sqlce database and a desktop app with
an Access database.  I heard the new SQL Server Mobile edition
automatically syncs between the PPC and desktop.
1.  Is this true?

I can't seem to get an answer here, are there at least other blogs or NGs
where I can get help with RDA and SQL Server CE 3?
TIA

sometimes using the sql ce replication on pda we get the native error
280037. Sometimes everything works fine just on restarting the replication,
sometimes it needs a pda reset, sometimes it seems to be definitely broken.
Does anybody know something about this error, or had a ...

I would like to write to a BLOB column inside my SQL Mobile database but I
have a problem getting the right number of columns from my table which I
think affects my call to "SetData"
I have this:

Sorry for asking so many questions in a row! :)
I am trying to write to a BLOB column in one of my SQL Mobile tables. The
table is really simple; It does not have a primary key, foreign key, indexes
or anything and is of the form:
