How can I query a MS SQL Compact Server 3.5 database in C++ not using the OLE DB API?

Question

I have the dlls and the include files of MS SQL Compact Server 3.5. How can I use it without OLE DB? I just want to load the dlls and invoke the necessary methods myself, no COM

I do not think that is possible - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms174579(v=SQL.90).aspx - an OLEDB sample is available here: http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlce/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=3808
