I can open a SQL Server CE 4.0 .sdf file in Visual Studio 2012 and it appears in the Server Explorer. All good.

But as far as I can tell it only shows the regular tables, not system tables.

Is there a way to show system tables?

No, in order to see them, you must type for example:

SELECT *  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES

Which also means you must know the name in advance (the command above lists all available tables by the way)
