SQL Mobile Compatibility Matrix

[Nathan]

Is there one?

I'm looking for these answers:
Is it possible to call SQL Mobile with CF 1.0?

What devices will SQL Mobile run on?

Is it possible to write an app that will adapt to what version of SQL
CE is available (SQL CE 2.0 or SQL Mobile) or does that sound extremely
difficult or unlikely?

SQL Mobile runs on all the platforms on which .NETCF v2.0 is supported -
Pocket PC 2003, Windows Mobile 5.0 (Pocket PC and Smartphone) and Windows CE
5.0
If you were to write your code with .NETCF v1.0 you could rebuild the
project against v2.0 to use SQL Mobile since the interface is a superset -
still uses the System.Data.SqlServerCe namespace, but adds some new features
such as SqlResultSet. AFAIK there isn't any way to run a v1.0 app against
Sql Mobile since the managed providers are changed and are built against the
respective framework versions.

Ok. So it seems SQL Mobile and CF 2.0 are a packaged deal as I suspected.
