Database choices

[Guest]

1. With Mobile 2003 and VB.NET 2005, what database types a Pocket PC
support? I have used Pocket Access and it seems to be slow.

2. Instead of a local copy of Access database on the Pocket PC, can we have
it remotely on a desktop and still synchronize in real-time?

3. If I use SQLMobile, then do I have to have SQL Server on the server?
Can you do real-time sync with it?

1.. SQL Mobile and SQL Server 2000 are supported out of the box.
Additionally, 3rd parties ADO.Net managed providers are available.
2.. A week is real time for some application, 100 ns for others. Please
define "real time" you need.
3.. No, you do not have to.
Best regards,

Ilya

about your question three, before u do real-time sync with sql server, u have
to install sqlCE in your server and publish your database in sql2000.

Access , i think , it is a local database in your ppc, can not support
real-time sync.
