Database Files

Database Files

Windows Embedded CE relies on database (.db) files to set up the default object store. The object store is a transaction-based storage mechanism. In other words, it is a repository for databases in RAM that operating system and applications can use for persistent data storage. For example, the operating system uses the object store to manage the stack and memory heap, to compress and decompress files, and to integrate ROM-based applications and RAM-based data. The transaction-oriented nature of the storage mechanism ensures data integrity even in the event of a sudden power loss while data is being written to the object store. When the system restarts, Windows Embedded CE either completes the pending transaction, or reverts to the last known good configuration prior to the interruption. For system files, the last known good configuration can mean that Windows Embedded CE must reload the initial settings from ROM.
