If I have a large amount of data in memory, what is the best way to copy it into a SQL CE table? The current technology stack is C#, ADO.net, and SQL CE. My initial idea was to do one INSERT statement for each row of data, but this is time-consuming. Is there an easier way? The first thing that popped into my head was to do a sync/merge with a desktop or server database, though that doesn't sound like it really fits your needs. So here is my second thought: BULK INSERT table_name FROM data_file I am not sure if it is supported in your version of SQL CE (though it appears to be supported in 3.5

Background - If I am building a WPF desktop application (VS2010 & .NET 4) and would like a lightweight database to use but without having to have a separate installation. SQLite would be OK from what I read however I was thinking it would be good to stick with the Microsoft bits and try to use SQL Server CE. Question - Does SQL Server CE require an "installation" separate to my WPF application's installation?

I've built an app that uses SQL Server CE 4.0 by default, but can also use a separate SQL Server (SQL Server Express). I've deployed it to about 10 computers around the office and it works fine except on 2 of them: the VP and a QA guy, of course :-/ On these computers, the database accesses are taking around 30 seconds each! If I install SQL Server Express 2008 R2, and tell my app to use it instead, then it runs very fast. Both problem machines are WinXP SP3, but most of the working PCs are XP also.
