I could get rid of Compact Edition and learn the full edition, but my
program uses Compact Edition. Learning the full edition will only help me
sure, but Compact Edition is what will be used for the next couple of
applications. This is for the end user. I don't want to distribute Sql
Server Express along with the application, size is too big. Plus, I don't
need a Porsche to go across the street in record time. Compact Edition is
faster than Access but slower than Sql Server Express. Perfect for a small
distribution of my applications, with 0 price tag, small footprint, no
Jet/MDAC worries (deprecation/x64/distribution), etc..
