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.
