I have created program that uses SQL Server database to store data. After a while (and lots of stored data) I have realized I don't need database on the server, local database running without server could do the job.
Now I need some advice how to export, convert or whatever, SQL Server database to local (sdf) database? I'm using VS 2010 and SQL Server 2008, I also have SQL Server Management Studio.
Check out the SQL Server to SQL Server Compact Edition Copy Tool available on CodeProject in C# source code:
Should do just what you need: copy data from SQL Server to a SQL Server Compact Edition .sdf file.
Use the Export database tool? If you are using MS Windows OS then you can access is through the JET interface.
Use my Export2sqlce.exe command line utility: http://erikej.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-to-use-exportsqlce-to-migrate-from.html
