Windows Mobile database creation

You can create a SQL Anywhere database for your Windows Mobile device:

  • With the Sybase Central Create Database Wizard to create a database that can be copied directly to your Windows Mobile device.

  • With the dbinit utility to create a database that can be copied manually to your Windows Mobile device.

  • With the CREATE DATABASE statement in Interactive SQL to create a database that can be copied manually to your Windows Mobile device.

Note

If you want the Create Database Wizard to automatically copy a new database to your Windows Mobile device, then Sybase Central must be the same bitness as ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (32-bit or 64-bit). For Windows XP and earlier, only 32-bit software is supported.

For information about decisions you need to make creating a Windows Mobile database, see:

Note

When you run a database on Windows Mobile, the database server automatically turns on write checksums. This behavior helps to provide early detection if the database file becomes corrupt. See Corruption detection using checksums.
