database

[Grunt]

for my program, i need to be able to read from a database for windows CE

where is the component for that?

SQL Server CE. Use ADO.NET for the connection. This makes for a pretty robust and versatile PDA data store.

SQL Server CE is the standard for the .NET CF, and you will have a hard time NOT including it, so this won't take much effort. I have never had to directly include it, it appears to be a default component.
