Browse and edit data in Microsoft SQL CE databases
I’ve been working on a little project that requires Microsoft SQL CE databases and couldn’t find anything that did quite what I wanted. SQL Server Management Studio allows for design of CE databases but not for browsing/editing data easily.
Sql CE Browser v1.1, updated (download now for free, 2,283 KB) allows you to browse and edit data in SQL CE databases.
Features:
- Open regular and encrypted/passworded databases for viewing or editing
- Write and work with any number of queries at once via tabs
- SQL syntax highlighting and SQL syntax verification
- Explore columns, keys, and indexes

Nice tool – I have created a SSMS(X) 2008 add-in, that adds the following missing features:
- Browse/Edit data
- Script tables
- Script data
- Import CSV

Erik, that’s pretty cool and it’s a SSMS plugin too! I’ll definitely have to check it out.
