Microsoft just released final version of SQL Server CE 2.0, and and Beta 2 of .NET Compact Framework. I am really surprised that the SQL Server CE team decided released now. I believed that they would wait until the release of the .NET Compact Framework. Of course, the release of SQL Server CE 2.0 is very welcome, not only because of the new features, both on the server as well on the device side, but also because it means that the .NET Compact Framework is getting really close to release too!
"Microsoft Corp. today announced SQL Server (TM) 2000 Windows® CE Edition 2.0 (SQL Server CE 2.0) and the second beta release of the Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework and Visual Studio® .NET smart device programming features, which constitute the most complete solution for building and deploying mobile .NET applications. SQL Server CE 2.0 is the next version of the compact database that extends enterprise data management capabilities to smart devices. The .NET Compact Framework and Visual Studio .NET are Microsoft’s developer platform and tools that bring the benefits of .NET application development, including full support for XML Web services, to smart mobile devices.
SQL Server CE 2.0, available today for download, is the compact database for rapidly developing applications that extend enterprise data management capabilities to devices. Version 2.0 integrates with the .NET Compact Framework through Visual Studio .NET smart device features, providing application users, developers and database administrators with a highly flexible, easy-to-use platform for mobile applications. With SQL Server CE 2.0, users have the ability to store rich data locally on smart devices for offline use when there is no connectivity to the back-end database server. This version includes performance improvements as well as new features, such as a connectivity wizard, intrinsic functions and an enhanced on-device query tool, that allow for easy deployment. SQL Server 2000, with SQL Server CE 2.0, offers an end-to-end solution that enables enterprises to extend their data out to smart devices in new ways to enhance their business and productivity. Microsoft is seeing tremendous support for SQL Server CE 2.0 from customers such as Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Eagle Rock Distributing Co., and Kraft Foods North America - Nabisco Biscuit and Snacks Group."
