Now that Umbraco 4.6.1 supports Sql CE 4.0 it would be great if Tea Commerce did as well. I just tried using Sql CE but it didnt work due to this use of SqlConnection. There were also a few circular DB references that need to be removed. More details here: http://erikej.blogspot.com/2010/07/getting-started-with-sql-server-compact.html
Thanks for the idea and we will look into it. What I could read from the blog post it's not possible to use LINQ to SQL when using Sql CE 4.0? Do you by chance have exactly what circular references that are in the DB - table and columns?
Not sure about Linq to Sql but as it's no longer being developed I would think you'd be better off with the entity framework anyway. The entity framework definately is supported by Sql CE 4.0
Thanks for the info. If we need to change from "LINQ to SQL" til Entity Framework it will be a little time before we can do that - but ofcourse we need to support SQL CE as well. I will keep you informed when we have a release with SQL CE support.

Hi Zac

Appreciate your help

The constraints I had issues with were:
- FK_TeaCommerce_Country_PaymentMethodId
- FK_TeaCommerce_Country_ShippingMethodId
I'm not sure how much of an issue these really are, but when I tried to convert my Sql Express DB to Sql CE I had to remove them.
