My application uses a large SQL CE database. If this file is placed in the
My Documents folder, it seems to break Files synchronisation in ActiveSync,
by virtue of its size.

I would like to be able to exclude this file from synchronisation. There is
an option that purports to do just this, but all it actually does is to
delete the file in question.

Can I place the database outside of My Documents (say in the installation
folder)? Am I breaking any standards, or is there any other fallout?

You can put the SQLCE database file anywhere you like, even on a storage
card.

What's in My Documents on the Pocket PC is what is synced with the Files
option. There are no exceptions except for CDB files (the Files sync
provider ignores those).
