SQL Anywhere documentation

The SQL Anywhere documentation consists of the following books:

  • SQL Anywhere 11 - Introduction   This book introduces SQL Anywhere 11—a comprehensive package that provides data management and data exchange, enabling the rapid development of database-powered applications for server, desktop, mobile, and remote office environments.

  • SQL Anywhere 11 - Changes and Upgrading   This book describes new features in SQL Anywhere 11 and in previous versions of the software.

  • SQL Anywhere Server - Database Administration   This book describes how to run, manage, and configure SQL Anywhere databases. It describes database connections, the database server, database files, backup procedures, security, high availability, and replication with Replication Server, as well as administration utilities and options.

  • SQL Anywhere Server - Programming   This book describes how to build and deploy database applications using the C, C++, Java, PHP, Perl, Python, and .NET programming languages such as Visual Basic and Visual C#. A variety of programming interfaces such as ADO.NET and ODBC are described.

  • SQL Anywhere Server - SQL Reference   This book provides reference information for system procedures, and the catalog (system tables and views). It also provides an explanation of the SQL Anywhere implementation of the SQL language (search conditions, syntax, data types, and functions).

  • SQL Anywhere Server - SQL Usage   This book describes how to design and create databases; how to import, export, and modify data; how to retrieve data; and how to build stored procedures and triggers.

  • MobiLink - Getting Started   This book introduces MobiLink, a session-based relational-database synchronization system. MobiLink technology allows two-way replication and is well suited to mobile computing environments.

  • MobiLink - Client Administration   This book describes how to set up, configure, and synchronize MobiLink clients. MobiLink clients can be SQL Anywhere or UltraLite databases. This book also describes the Dbmlsync API, which allows you to integrate synchronization seamlessly into your C++ or .NET client applications.

  • MobiLink - Server Administration   This book describes how to set up and administer MobiLink applications.

  • MobiLink - Server-Initiated Synchronization   This book describes MobiLink server-initiated synchronization, a feature of MobiLink that allows you to initiate synchronization or other remote actions from the consolidated database.

  • QAnywhere   This book describes QAnywhere, which is a messaging platform for mobile and wireless clients, as well as traditional desktop and laptop clients.

  • SQL Remote   This book describes the SQL Remote data replication system for mobile computing, which enables sharing of data between a SQL Anywhere consolidated database and many SQL Anywhere remote databases using an indirect link such as email or file transfer.

  • UltraLite - Database Management and Reference   This book introduces the UltraLite database system for small devices.

  • UltraLite - C and C++ Programming   This book describes UltraLite C and C++ programming interfaces. With UltraLite, you can develop and deploy database applications to handheld, mobile, or embedded devices.

  • UltraLite - M-Business Anywhere Programming   This book describes UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere. With UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere you can develop and deploy web-based database applications to handheld, mobile, or embedded devices, running Palm OS, Windows Mobile, or Windows.

  • UltraLite - .NET Programming   This book describes UltraLite.NET. With UltraLite.NET you can develop and deploy database applications to computers, or handheld, mobile, or embedded devices.

  • UltraLiteJ   This book describes UltraLiteJ. With UltraLiteJ, you can develop and deploy database applications in environments that support Java. UltraLiteJ supports BlackBerry smartphones and Java SE environments. UltraLiteJ is based on the iAnywhere UltraLite database product.

  • Error Messages   This book provides a complete listing of SQL Anywhere error messages together with diagnostic information.
