title: How can I query a MS SQL Compact Server 3.5 database in C++ not using the OLE DB API?
body: <p>I have the dlls and the include files of MS SQL Compact Server 3.5. How can I use it without OLE DB? I just want to load the dlls and invoke the necessary methods myself, no COM please.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know the API?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>If this is not possible is there a fully functional example in C++ demonstrating accessing a database using the MSSQL Compact Server edition? </p>
