I am trying to create a table in SQL CE 3.5 in Visual Studio 2008 on XP and it only has nchar/nvarchar for column types. (in designer)
The full version is 3.5.5386.0
According to this article the CE 3.5 must support char and varchar : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172424(v=sql.105).aspx
Any ideas?
SQL CE has been Unicode-based for a long time now.
You must have misread the article that you’re linking to. There is no mention of char/varchar only nchar/nvarchar. And you may find this SO post interesting.
