SQL CE database running on a Server?

[wiredless]

Hi,

I know Sybase's database can be run on a pocket pc device and on the server.
However, with SQL CE the database doesn't run on the server if i copy it
from a pocket pc to a server.

Is there *anyway* that the SQL CE database file can be made to work on the
server after directly copied to the server? I don't want to use SQL
replication. All I want to do is copy the file to the server and do whatever
is needed so I can use it on the server.

Also, is it posible to simply copy the file to the server then have SQL
server replication syncronize the copied file with the main database while
both on the server? Can SQL server be setup to do this?

There's no way any of that can be done (not to count writing your own SQL
CE engine for desktop).
SQL CE 3.0 will support both features for development purposes only.

Best regards,

Ilya
