I have a SQL server database. I wanna use the same database in sql

  • 0

I have a SQL server database. I wanna use the same database in sql compact edition. Actually I’ve been searching for it and found that there is something like sql scripting. (Task->Generate Script) So I created a script file(script.sql) but I don’t know how to import this script in sql compact. The purpose is to have a .sdf database and be able to manage the database via SQL Server Compact.

I have tested softwares like primeworks(DataPort Wizard) before but it doesn’t give the result because my database is too large for it.

Any suggestion to convert SQL database(.mdf) to SQL Compact(.sdf) by using script file or by another way is greatly appreciated.

    1) Data Portal Wizard is the best tool available. Since you have a verge large DB, you can convert in small units. Like for ex : use Task->Generate Script -> tables
    Generate Script -> Stored procedure
    and so on.
    Don’t convert everything in a single go.

    Let me know if this was helpful to you. Else we will think of something else.
