This property does not guarantee that all text returned to the consumer will be translated according to the LCID. If no LCID is specified during database creation, SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition (SQL Server Compact Edition) will use the system LCID by default. By default, previous versions of SQL Server Compact Edition used a value of 1033.

  • Notes: Valid values are "Read Only", "Read Write", "Exclusive", and "Shared Read". "Read Only" mode will let you open a read only file and will prevent any changes to the database file. "Read Write" is the default mode and will permit multiple processes to work with the database normally. "Exclusive" will prevent any other processes from opening the database and will permit the current process to work normally. "Shared Read" will let other processes open the database in read only mode but will let the current process work normally.
