I am trying to create a table in SQL CE 3.5 in Visual Studio

  • 0

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.

    Not all data types in SQL Server are supported in SQL Server CE. For
    example, non-Unicode text columns (varchar, char, text) and smallmoney
    are not supported; although nvarchar, nchar, ntext, and money are
    supported.

    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.
