Not as is, but one can start to learn LINQ and the differences between SQLCE and standard SQL Server.SSCE seems to me like VFP tables used EXCLUSIVE except it's all in one file rather than multiple dbfs and there is a rudimentary security system. Sort of like storing your dbc and dbfs in a Cryptainer volume. The lack of Stored Procedures presumably means people will be exhorting the benefits of SPT, either via LINQ (I hope one day!) or directly via ADO.NET.
I'm not saying anything further until the LINQ piece is provided but I foresee *heaps* of extra work to perform the simplest tasks if you want to store temporary persistent indexable resultsets from a backend in SSCE.
I guess we all need to wait and see, right?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
