Thanks for the reply. Are you sure Oracle is available for PDAs ? I
saw that there is a Oracle Calendar Sync but am not sure if that will
serve the purpose...


Absolutely; a co-worker is using it. Maybe it's only for WM5, but there
is.

I will not be having the PPCs connected to a PC via a cable. Instead I
will have an adhoc wireless network in which the devices should
communicate with each other. In such a case can we still use Active
Sync ?


Wireless networks and ActiveSync are mutually exclusive.

But the good thing is, as soon as you have established a network, you can
use your PPC just like any other computer within a network. Setting it up
can be tricky, though - that's the part I always leave to our company's
network specialist as I tend to overlook some crucial detail ;-)

Also the data transfer can be both ways: i.e. each PPC can transfer
data to the centralized database (desktop) and the database can also
transfer information to the PPCs. In such a scenario do you have any
suggestions how to proceed or do you think I need to refer to a
networking expert ? Thanks once again...

Hi!

The easy part first - Oracle _is_ available for Windows Mobile, so
best stick with one database everywhere.

Now for the data trasfer part... If you have your PPCs connected to a
PC via cable and ActiveSync, you can use a RAPI application running
on your Desktop PC (or laptop) to get the data over. Maybe you can
even configure ActiveSync to do that work for you, but I'm not so apt
with ActiveSync. If you don't connect, well, then you have to ring up
your server essentially, and if you get your according configurations
(please ask a network guru) you have a kind of virtual network where
you can work with your PPC file explorer and just copy your data to
the server.

Greetings,

Kerstin

Hi

I am developing a distributed application which will involve
desktops, laptops, tablet pcs and pocket pcs. I will be setting up
an adhoc network so that these devices can communicate with each
other. In lieu of this I have some doubts:

1. What is the best way to enable data transfer to/from pocket pcs ?
Laptops/Desktops can transfer data by going to file explorer and
typing %\\computer_name% and then we can copy and paste the files.
Though not the best method it works. Does somebody have any
suggestions how this can be done with Pocket PCs ? Does an alternate
solution exist to enable data transfer in this network ?

2. Each of these devices in the network will be required to maintain
a database which will then communicate the respective information to
the centralized database (on a desktop). The centralized database is
in Oracle. I dont think we can install Oracle on Pocket PCs .. Right
? What would be the best database system to install on the pocket
pcs which will enable easy interaction with the Oracle centralized
database ?

Any help/hints would be really appreciated. Thanks...
