While porting an application from SQL 2005 to SQL Server Compact Edition, I found that I need to port this command:
SELECT TOP 1 Id FROM tblJob WHERE Holder_Id I
SELECT TOP(1) Id FROM tblJob WHERE Holder_Id IS NULL
Need the brackets as far as I know.

addition: likewise, only for version 3.5 onwards
