I want to access Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition databases from Java. How can I do that? I searched for JDBC driver for SQLCE, but I didn't find any.
According to a newsgroup post sent this Tuesday (2008-12-09) by Jimmy Wu@Mircrosoft:
The Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver does not support connecting to SQL Server Compact. At this time there isn't a scheduled JDBC support for SQL Server Compact edition. Thank-you for your continuing support of SQL Server.
Sincerely, Jimmy Wu
According to MSDN, there isn't one and there aren't any plans neither.
While I'm not familiar with SQL Server CE, I presume that MS provides an ODBC driver for it. Although it is not recommended for production use, you can use the JDBC-ODBC bridge to make your connection.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:<yourODBC_DSN>");
To reiterate, the JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver provided with JDBC is recommended only for development and testing, or when no other alternative is available.
Search for the SqlJDBC4 library. I know a coworker uses it.
Good tutorial sqljdbc-tut
Latest driver (in tech preview) is sqljdbc-jars
