Keeping performance on a mobile device in mind, what do you think is the best approach with an SQLCE Connection. Keep it open for the duration of the application or let it close whenever a call to the database is needed.
Obviously this depends a little on the nature of your application however I’m curious to hear what the group has implemented and why.
You should definitely watch Steve Lasker’s PDC08 session about SQL Server Compact Edition. There’s a part about performance, best practices and his own benchmarks (~37:00).
In short, keep it open, try to reuse commands, and use SqlCeResultSet for bulk operations.
