:) Good catch!

I guess it makes sense to give a little more power in some areas to
compensate for others. There are some sides of the Compact Edition that make
it very attractive (in particular situations). I like that it has a very
small footprint (only 7 DLLs) and it can be installed via copying the DLLs
to the application directory (that way no administrative privileges
required). Also, supports the ADO.NET Sync Framework, allows to have the
database file on a network share, and to some degree higher safety (since it
does not support T-SQL procedural code). And if the OLE DB provider is used
then no need to install the .NET 2.0 Framework. So, a good addition to the
family...
