Your consolidated database holds system objects that are required by MobiLink. Usually, it also holds your application data, but you can hold all or part of your application data in other forms as well.

MobiLink supports consolidated databases for Windows and Linux on 32-bit and 64-bit environments. Your consolidated database can be one of the following ODBC-compliant RDBMSs:

• Adaptive Server Enterprise (no 64-bit Linux support provided)
• IBM DB2 LUW
• Microsoft SQL Server
• MySQL
• Oracle
• SQL Anywhere
• Sybase IQ (not supported by QAnywhere)

For version support information, see  http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1002288.

For information about recommended ODBC drivers for MobiLink, see  http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1011880

Your SQL Anywhere installation includes a MobiLink setup script for each type of RDBMS. You need to run the appropriate setup script to use that RDBMS with MobiLink. The setup script adds tables and stored procedures that are required by MobiLink.

For information about setting up each type of RDBMS as a consolidated database, see Consolidated database setup.

For information about writing synchronization scripts for particular consolidated databases, see RDBMS-dependent synchronization scripts.
