Starting with Raspberry Pi 3 with Windows 10 IOT and access db engine

You can run .NET apps on Win IOT but there are some restrictions as Windows 10 IoT Core only supports a subset of the Win32 and .Net APIs.  When you build an app for IOT it gets transferred to the Pi as part of the build process.

I've not tried it out yet but it should all be explained here https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot

You are a bit limited for database options on Windows IOT although SQLite does seem to be supported Using SQLite in Windows 10 IoT Core – Chris Briggs' Blog

alternatively store your data remotely.

hi andy,

Thanks for te answer.

While the complete system is already build around access databases, It is a big job to start using another db-system. This is a problem. Crazy.. A windows 10 versions (although IOT) that can not handle an access db......

What do you mean with store your data remotely? Than I still have to comunicate with the access db in order to store my data in that?

Access is effectively a desktop solution so it's not surprising that it does not work on an embedded platform such as IOT. I was a little surprised that Access was still supported on any platform, I had to double check that before answering.

By remotely I mean having another machine that can accept calls to save the data, typically we use SQL Server but MySQL or Azure DB would also work. Access would not work in this fashion on IOT as it would still require the Microsoft Jet Database Engine to access the file.

that is completely dissapointing. So they basically made a useless os based on a useless system. The Access database has huge advantages over  mysql systems etc but they can not be used. So all developments can better be done normally and we use small pc's like atom etc. The only thing we need for that above the useless raspberry pi is that it has no GIO ports....

I bought 1 for test before introducing them into my system but that was a waste f money. Yes, i know, my own fault. I should have asked this question before buying but I finally that there was something usefull in the market.

EDIT:

Thanks for the info..
