Query A SQL Server Compact Table While Querying A SQL 2005 Server Table

Hi there,

I'm trying to run a query on a SQL Server 2005 table which has a WHERE clause that requires a query from my SQL Compact table.



SELECT * from RemoteDB.TESTDB.dbo.Objects

WHERE Last_Updated > '2008-05-21 10:51:00'

AND Object_PARENT IN (select Object_CODE from LocalDB.PDADB.dbo.Objects)


Basicallly on a linked system, this query would find all new objects in my main database where the same objects exist in my local database. This would work just perfectly, no problems.

Now, the local database is actually on a PDA running SQL Server Compact Edition. There is currently no support for creating a linked environment. I have the option of pulling the table off the local db and pushing it to the remote db and then running the above query from within the single db and then retrieving the list of new entries and pulling them down to the local db but that is a HUGE amount of bandwidth, even if I just used the single primary key column.

Would anyone maybe have a little advice for me on how I could possibly achieve the above result on SQL Server Compact please?


Thanks in advance
