SQL Server Compact Release Versions

 

This blog post is meant to give different build version numbers of our SQL Server Compact Releases. This blog post is a living one and gets updated for every release we make.

 

Before getting into the mapping, first you want to know the version you are having.  There are multiple means: 

Registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\*\DesktopRuntimeVersion

File Properties: Check file properties of some SQL CE DLL and check for "File version" the first line of version tab

# re: SQL Server Compact Release Versions

Great to have this list available - very useful. How about adding version 3.0.5214 from SQL Server Mobile Edition 3.0 Device SDK download?

# re: SQL Server Compact Release Versions

Laxmi,

The latest version I can find that's available for download is Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 and Microsoft Synchronization Services for ADO.Net v1.0 for Windows Desktop (v.3.5.5386.0).

What's the availability and download point for SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Beta for ADO.NET Entity Framework Provider Beta (v.3.5.5626)?

Thanks in advance,

# re: SQL Server Compact Release Versions

Thanks for this update!

Do you have any more info on the changes (features, performance, bugs, etc) that are in all these different version of SQLCE?  Or, do these different versions just address interop/connectivity/compatibility issues with different release vehicles?

Thanks again

# re: SQL Server Compact Release Versions

How can I at runtime get the version number of the SQL Server Compact engine my app is using?

# re: SQL Server Compact Release Versions

It would be nice if a date column was also added to the release table.

# re: SQL Server Compact Release Versions

Does anyone know when they will release 3.5SP1 for the SSCE Mobile rather than Desktop?

# re: SQL Server Compact Release Versions

Daniel Smith,

v3.5 SP1 for Devices would release along with v3.5 SP1 Desktop but may be thru different release channels.  

Juan Foegen,

Thanks for the feedback.  I would incorporate your feedback when I get full information on the exact public release dates of different milestones.  Right now, on top of my head I dont remember them all.

Henrik Bach,

You could use SqlCeConnection.ServerVersion to get the runtime/server version.  You could also use FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo .NET API on any of our DLLs to know the version.

Thanks,

Laxmi
