SQL Server Compact Edition Connection Manager
A SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition connection manager enables a package to connect to a SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database. The SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition destination that SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) includes uses this connection manager to load data into a table in a SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database.
When you add a SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition connection manager to a package, Integration Services creates a connection manager that will resolve to a SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition connection at run time, sets the connection manager properties, and adds the connection manager to the Connections collection on the package.
The ConnectionManagerType property of the connection manager is set to SQLMOBILE.
You can configure the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition connection manager in the following ways:
- Provide a connection string that specifies the location of the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database.
- Provide a password for a password-protected database.
- Specify the server on which the database is stored.
- Indicate whether the connection that is created from the connection manager is retained at run time.
Configuring the SQL Server Compact Edition Connection Manager
You can set properties through SSIS Designer or programmatically.
