Windows CE enhancements

  • Dynamic cache sizing supported on Windows CE   Windows CE now supports dynamic cache sizing. Like Windows and Unix, on Windows CE the size of the database server cache increases and decreases depending on the load on the database server and the other demands on system memory. This feature removes the need for choosing an explicit cache size under in many circumstances, and can also boost performance.

  • Creating proxy ports for Windows CE   In previous releases of the software, you had to modify entries in the registry to configure ActiveSync to use a proxy port for connecting to a database on Windows CE devices. The Connect window for Interactive SQL, Sybase Central, and the SQL Anywhere Console utility now includes a Setup Windows CE Proxy Port tool that allows you to create proxy ports for connecting to databases on Windows CE devices without editing the registry.

  • Ability to rebuild databases on Windows CE   You can now rebuild your database on Windows CE using a two step process whereby you unload your database to file and then reload it into a new database using the dbunload utility. See Database rebuilding on Windows Mobile.

  • dbrunsql utility   The Script Execution utility (dbrunsql) allows you to type SQL statements or run script files on Windows CE. See Script Execution utility (dbrunsql).

  • Signed .cab files for Windows Mobile 5   The SQL Anywhere installation includes pre-built .cab files that are signed by Verisign. When you use these .cab files, you do not receive an unknown publisher warning.
