I would advise moving to MSDE (SQL Server personal) or SQL Server on the
server and then SQL CE on the model device (would have to be PocketPC
device). You can then use the built in capability of sync from SQL Server
(ie, replication).
Otherwise, your best bet is to add a timestamp column to every table in the
database. You can then add newer rows from the PDA and download newer master
rows based on the last time synced. This way, you are not comparing every bit
of data. This may end up with major re-architecture, depending on your app(s).
