Installing SQL Anywhere on a Windows Mobile device

Requirements

A computer running a supported Windows operating system
- For Windows Vista and later: Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 or later
- For Windows XP or earlier: Microsoft ActiveSync 3.5 or later
A Windows Mobile device supported by SQL Anywhere

For a list of Windows Mobile devices supported by SQL Anywhere, see http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1002288.

The location of your SQL Anywhere install on Windows Mobile depends on the type of device and location you are installing to. No subdirectories are created. All DLLs are installed in the \Windows directory.

Location	Installation directory
Storage card	\storage-card\Sybase SQL Anywhere 12
Storage card	\storage-card\SQLAny12
Main memory	\Program Files\SQLAny12

Caution

It is recommended that you do not install SQL Anywhere on a storage card, such as an SD card.

When the Windows Mobile device resumes from being suspended, all open files, including executables and DLLs, located on a removable device may be closed by the operating system. The operating system itself loses access to the executables and DLLs that were in use by programs that were running when the device was suspended. In this case, the operating system may silently remove the process (such as the SQL Anywhere database server) from the system without an error message.
