Does anyone know if I can use SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 on mono?
I'm hoping they are written as managed assemblies and will work ok..does anyone have any experience?
All of the SQL Compact (except System.Data.SqlCe.dll obviously) are native libraries, so no they won't work under non-Windows platforms.
Pretty replacement for SQL CE is SQLite
SQLite ADO.NET Provider is portable and exists on Microsoft.NET and Mono
http://www.mono-project.com/SQLite
native components is exists for most major platforms and source code also available
(By 'on mono' I assume you mean running on Mono in Linux?)
No. I'm pretty sure none of the SQL Server versions are built on managed assemblies.
