I’m writing an application for windows mobile 6 and above that requires a local database.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with database hosting on windows mobile and which database management system would be most suitable for development.
Thanks in advance,
Lloyd
I have used SqlServerCe as a local mini database for a WinMobile 6 application I’ve worked on. It is quite easy to use and gets automatically installed when you include the reference in Visual Studio.
Another option that seems popular is SQLite. For a comparison of the two look at this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/583278/sqlite-vs-sqlce-vs-in-a-mobile-application
This seems to be biased towards SQLite which I have not tried but I was happy with the performance of SqlServerCe for my application and it was sufficient.
