I am working on an application that needs to use a local sql database. The database needs to be encapsulated in a file because they need to be able to easily move the data accross the network, onto a usb stick, burned onto a cd/dvd, etc.
Our older apps all used access, which has worked great for us, but I’d like to use the newer .net tools such as linq, which I believe just leaves sql ce edition (which doesn’t seem to support x64).
How have you dealt with this issue?
SQL Compact, as of 3.5 SP1, does support x64 (and it works well for desktop apps).
