sql server compact edition features

Question

Does anyone know where I can find a list of supported features for SQL Server Compact Edition? I am interested in using the new version with my web app but am trying to determine if it can do what I need? specifically I want to know if it can support views and stored procedures but the microsoft site was futile.

thanks in advance

Edit:

I looked at this SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 but it was not helpful to me.

Are you talking about SQL CE 4 Beta? – Singlecross

Answer 1

SQL Server CE 4 does not support stored procedures, as you can read in this blog post by Scott Guthrie:

SQL CE is an embedded database – which makes it ideal for development and light-usage scenarios. For high-volume sites and applications you’ll probably want to migrate it to use SQL Server Express (which is free), SQL Server or SQL Azure. These servers enable much better scalability, more development features (including features like Stored Procedures – which aren’t supported with SQL CE), as well as more advanced data management capabilities.

This page has a complete list of the difference between CE and SQL Server. It says that both stored procedures and views are not supported by CE.
