What's Ahead

This chapter has discussed the need for robust data caching and how that need is addressed using SQL Server CE.

This final essential architectural concept will be addressed in the following two chapters, which look at both primitive synchronization using ActiveSync and more complex synchronization using RDA and merge replication.
