Wrap Sqlmobile in a server process

B

Brandon

We are running out of VM in our main application, and among other things, I
am considering how we might break functionalities across groups of native
dll's that have to load for those functionalities. An obvious break line
involves sqlmobile (3.x). I threw together a quick proof of concept for
basically creating a database engine process that would perform all sqlmobile
access, with a TCP interface for issuing commands and getting results wrapped
in XML (we already do something similar in a process that performs all of our
replication - conceivably, this process would grow up to be a sqlmobile
engine that handles both queries and replication). I know that there may be
something we can do that will be more efficient than XML, but our result sets
are generally small - probably the biggest one is 18 rows by about 30
columns. Hopefully an added benefit would be that we might even be able to
put together an algorithm for caching a few query plans...we have been unable
to do this for some time, due to VM constraints.

I can't imagine that this is as avenue that has not been explored, and am
just wondering if anyone has any comments on the approach - is this a bad
idea? It seems like if this were a viable option, that it would already
exist out there somewhere, probably even provided by Microsoft. Maybe they
were just afraid people would try to use it in a more robust way than it was
intended...?
