Hi All,

What are all the database supported for Smart Device application other
than Pocket Access and SQL?

Would you please suggest me databses other than Access and SQL to use
with Smart Device application?

Thanks

Nana.
 
Nana,

The main ones people use are SQL CE for CF 1.0 apps and SQL Mobile for CF
2.0 apps. There are also database products from companies other than
Microsoft but I don't know of a complete list.
 
iAnywhere has both their UltraLite and Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA)
databases that both work on the PPC. UltraLite has a 60,000 row limit per
table, but both have an ADO.NET provider. The synchronization technology is
quite granular and very customizable, but has a pretty long learning curve,
and requires a fair amount of coding. You can, however implement very basic
synchronization almost out of the box. The pricing is quite attractive also.
Very responsive support on their newsgroups from their engineers.
