Hi,

Our product is using MS SQL Compact Edition on a Windows machine (laptop). It's basically a metadata index for files we have on the filesystem. Recently we have seen databases getting corrupted.

This happens when the machine is very busy moving files around and has to do a tiny bit of database changes at the same time.

I was somewhat shocked that was at all possible. It was my expectation that the database would stay coherent whatever the circumstances.

Of course we are doing something wrong. Things we have checked so far are:

Use of only one db connection per thread
specify the maximum size when opening the database

The database is accessed only by one application, a .net based windows service. Are there other gotcha's?
