Sqlcompactdb is local database file. yes with out using sql server we can use for insert,update,delete for any commands we can use this file.but one drawback is there in local database it is not possible to use stored procedures.here we can write joins quaries.yes you can use as client database.

what is drawback of this db and how to control this

PIEBALDconsult 28-Mar-16 10:04am

Limited datatypes.
Not scalable to many users.

Member 12415621 28-Mar-16 10:35am

there is no chance to use joins in stores procedures or use stored procedures in locadb.you need to write full query

PIEBALDconsult 28-Mar-16 19:19pm

Which is what I do anyway.

SQL CE is "in deprecation state". Meaning that there will be no new versions and support will end within the next few years. For new projects that should be maintained for several years it's probably not a good choice (any more).
