Customizing Locking

Although Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 implements locking automatically, it is possible to customize locking in applications by:

Handling deadlocks.
Setting the lock time-out duration.
Setting the transaction isolation level.
Using table-level locking hints with the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.
