Does anyone know where I can find a list of supported features for SQL

  • 0

Does anyone know where I can find a list of supported features for SQL Server Compact Edition? I am interested in using the new version with my web app but am trying to determine if it can do what I need? specifically I want to know if it can support views and stored procedures but the microsoft site was futile.

thanks in advance

Edit:

I looked at this SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 but it was not helpful to me.

    SQL Server CE 4 does not support stored procedures, as you can read in this blog post by Scott Guthrie:

    SQL CE is an embedded database – which
    makes it ideal for development and
    light-usage scenarios. For
    high-volume sites and applications
    you’ll probably want to migrate it to
    use SQL Server Express (which is
    free), SQL Server or SQL Azure. These
    servers enable much better
    scalability, more development features
    (including features like Stored
    Procedures – which aren’t supported
    with SQL CE    ), as well as more advanced
    data management capabilities.

    This page has a complete list of the difference between CE and SQL Server. It says that both stored procedures and views are not supported by CE.
