I’m trying to script the changes to a SQL Server Compact Edition database running on windows mobile 6 and could really use:
EXECUTE sp_rename 'MyTable.SomeColumn', 'BrandNewName', 'COLUMN' What other system stored procedures are available?
What are the differences to the non compact version?
Edit: There ARE system stored procedures in ce, sp_rename is an example although it only seems to work against tables not columns.
I don’t believe there are any stored procedures available in SqlCe. My solution has been to create a class that contains a SqlCeEngine and expose my own methods like RenameColumn, and do the work internally.
EDIT 1: Now, that’s very interesting (the existence of sp_rename). Considering the documentation out there that states there are no stored procedures in SQL CE, I don’t think it’s really fair to downvote anyone for that assumption.
EDIT 2: I’ve come across this link from MSDN that indicates at least one other proc: sp_show_statistics. I’m assuming you’re using SQL CE 3.5 SP1.
