SQL Server CE to SQL Server CE database conversion

Initial screen shows you that Full Convert will automatically detect your database if you don"t know which one do you have. Of course, if you do know your database, do select it from the list on the left.

We will choose SQL Server Compact Edition from the list of available source database engines. Connecting to SQL CE database is straightforward - we need to type-in or navigate to the database file (SQLCE databases are stored in SDF files) and specify our password, if the database is protected.

List on the left shows all the databases which can be filled with your source database data. Select the one you need and fill-in required parameters.

We will select all source tables for conversion by default. In case you only need some tables, simply deselect the ones you don"t need - or deselect all, then select just the tables you do need.

Here you can see how many tables will be converted. To start conversion right away, click on the Convert! button. To show contents of target database without converting, click on the Explore button. Use that to inspect target database prior to conversion, or to save the conversion project for later before even converting the first time.
