I’ve been working extensively on enterprise mobility projects lately. These applications integrate into large SAP based systems and when testing the system it can get very tedious to set up some temporary data from the backend. I’m also working with some not-so-technical testers that get intimidated by the Visual Studio or the SQL Server Management Studio. This led me to writing an open source project called SQL Compact Query Analyzer

Here’s some details I pulled directly off the CodePlex site

Project Description
SQL Server Compact Edition Database Query Analyzer

Features:
- Execute SQL Queries against a SQL Server Compact Edition database
- Table Data Editor to easily edit the contents of the database
- Supports SQLCE 3.0, 3.1, 3.5 and 4.0
- Execute multiple SQL queries (delimited by a semi colon ;)
- Display query result as XML
- Shrink and Compact Databases
- SDF file association with SQL Compact Query Analyzer for launching directly by opening the SDF in Windows Explorer
- Generate Schema and Data Scripts
- Display database and schema information
- Support for password protected databases

Coming Soon:
- Purge database content
- Create new database
- Create, edit, and drop tables
- Create, edit, and delete table references and indexes
- Support for SQL Server Compact Edition 2.0

More than a year ago, I published a project on CodePlex called SQL CE Code Generator. Unfortunately, I never managed to find the time to do some work on it and the project was set on a very long hold. A year after I suddenly really needed such a tool and decided that I should put in some hours on the project.

I'm currently working on a large enterprise project where changes to the database schema is done rather frequently, to avoid the pain of updating my data layer after every change I decided to use my code generator.

Here's some details I pulled directly off the CodePlex site.

Project Description
Contains a stand alone GUI application and a Visual Studio Custom Tool for automatically generating a .NET data access layer code for objects in a SQL Server Compact Edition database.

Features:
- Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 Custom Tool Support
- Creates entity classes for each table in the database
- Generates data access code that implements the Repository Pattern
- Generates methods for Create, Read, Update and Delete operations
- Generates SelectBy methods for every column in every table
- Generates a Purge method for every table to delete all records
- Generates Count() method for retrieving the number of records in each table
- Generates CreateDatabase() method for re-creating the database
- Generates xml-doc code comments for entities and data access methods
- Generates Entity Unit Tests
- Generates Data Access Unit Tests
- Generates .NET Compact and Full Framework compatible code

Coming Soon:
- Generate database maintenance code (clear database, shrink/compress database)
- Support for multiple versions of SQL Server Compact Edition (3.0, 3.1 3.5, 3.5 SP1, 3.5 SP2, 4.0)
- Generate unit tests for multiple unit test frameworks
- VB.NET Code Support
