SQL Server Compact Team Coming to your location… (Road Trip)

  • Artigo

As part of our vNext release planning, we're heading out on the road to meet some of our customers.  With the assistance of Jon Box we did this a few weeks ago driving 1,400 miles around Arkansas and Tennessee and we had a blast.

Do you have an interesting usage pattern of SQL Server Compact?  Interested to host us for a few hours to tell us about it providing feedback on what we're considering for our next release? 

The 1-3 hr agenda sort of goes like this, with a 1/3 of the time allocated to each.  We're very flexible, and as long as we're talking to "developers", they've all gotten a lot of value from the meetings thus far.

  • Overview of how your using SQL Server Compact. What works well, what's doesn't.
  • We break into some Demos and conversations on what you could do today to make better use of Compact for any challenges you may be facing, but are already available within the product.
  • Feedback on what we're doing next. Based on the context setup earlier, are we fixing the right issues, enabling the right new scenarios, making your job easier so you could focus on the business tasks of the application?

When: We'll be in Florida for Tech Ed Developers.  We're looking to meet with customers the week of June 9th and will drive/fly to your location  Depending on where each company is located, we're mapping out our "road trip" accordingly. For this trip, we're staying within the US but will travel anyplace within the US.  We'll likely do a European road trip later this year around Tech Ed Europe.

If you're interested, please contact me here and we'll see what we can do to setup a meeting,

Thanks,

Steve

    I've got a very interesting use case pattern, I'd love to use v3.5, but I can't. And the reason I can't is you guys haven't released a platform builder update for it. What's worse is that it doesn't look like you plan to until sp1 for sqlce 3.5. So, since I can't embed it into my OS design, it's like it doesn't even exist. Let me repeat that, SQLCE 3.5 does not exist, its vaporware. I've posted on your forums that someone needs to wake up, start slapping some heads, until you guys get your act together. To not have a platform builder update for sqlce 3.5 a full 6 months after it was released is completely unacceptable. Quite frankly, someone ought to be fired.

    LateLy it's part of everything with none of the catalogue of speciaized tools of Desktop. It'd be nice to see curriculae developed that pepared the student/developer with a core set ofSQL concepts, skills, vocabulary and structure that allowed them to move from one level to another with ease as they grow ever more central

    Jack, I’m not sure what to say to satisfy your comment.  The number of places SQL Server Compact ships is actually quite extensive, and everything we ship has a significant cost.  The steps are extensive, and only included for completeness.  My blog style is to “put it all out there”, and yes, pasting the steps reminded me again of what was required, which is why we are shipping the platform builder in SP1.  The actual work to ship anything isn’t that easy, but I don’t want to make any excuses.  The point is taken, and we are shipping the platform builder.   Again, apologies for any pain this caused, Steve

    Hi Steve   I integrated the sqlce 3.0 into my wince 4.2 and wana using oledb to access db.  All things seem to be ok but when the program wanna create a new database the error occured .  The same program works good with the enviroment(wince 4.2+sqlce 2.0). And the error is "Operating System Does not support encryption". That's really hard to understand because I have no desire and any related code to use the encryption. I set no password on the access to the database!!  I don't know if I missed some modules or take wrong options on the PB 4.2?  And I have to ask you if that is possible to run the sqlce 3.0 on the wince 4.2 by native coding(oledb)?
