Sybase ASA (Adaptive Server Anywhere) 8.02 and later is one. You can choose between the pretty much full-featured ASA server (supports stored procs etc...) or the lighter-footprint UltraLite engine (which I *think* is even available for free, but you'd have to confirm that by going to their web site.

I don't know if Oracle have released any .NET CF functionality yet..

You could use
Sybase Adaptive Server Anywher
Oracle Lite

Anyway SqlServer Ce is free as long as you don't connect to Sql Server. You could syncronize your data using a webservice with any ODBC, OLE compilant database. More if you do a search in this newsgroup you will find a Compact Framework class to connect to a MySql server so you could syncronize your data directly Mysql.
 
Boris,

IMHO SQLCE is the premiere free database engine... There is always the
pocket db (CDB) format which is native to the device. If your data is
simple - a text file could be used as well. If you can develop in AppForge
there are some cool alternatives that are worth looking at.

I have to agree with Boris in that the SQLCE is a premiere database
engine for the PPC. I have only started to use this just recently after
having restriction with the use of xml files. The benefits are that you
can synch up with a SQL Server and develop in line with your desktop
apps.

Terry et al,

The benefits of SQL CE will become ever so much more apparent with the next
release of 3.0. The connectivity with SQL Server from CE devices is being
heavily leveraged... and will ship with some SUPER COOL tools (rubs hands
with anticipation).

:-) I'm not searching - i was posting that there's "db4o" available.

Just talk to the company and make a good deal. It's not that expensive and
it depends on what you are doing ... just tell them what you like to do and
i'm sure they will offer you something really good.

GREAT Support too!
