Database application on Windows CE Pocket PC

Hello,

I have a Pocket PC with windows CE 2003. I have downloaded all the SDK
and C++.
I would like to develop a small database application which can be run
from my pocket PC. I would like to have a small database on the pocket
pc with an application which can retrieve information from the
database. It also has to write back to the database.

Can anyone advice or give me some examples of code so that I can start
from there. Ideally I'd like to use VB or Java, but I don't know if I
can use that on a Pocket PC.

Many thanks in advance,

Allan

Do I even need to mention that you are in the wrong newsgroup?

Please visit microsoft.public.pocketpc where you are more likely to find

See [url]www.xdb1.com[/url] for a small database for Pocket PCs.

For "simple" database operations there are several "ready-made"
applications you can use. Data On The Run is the one I have selected
for my h2215.
For Palm devices, there are a greater number of much better
applications. HandBase, Jfile-5 are two of note. There is also
ThinkBD, which I also use.
If you are "bent" on writing your own application, I would really like
to see a database program "clone" of the one found on the hp200lx
series of palmtops.
Good luck with what ever you do, and post a "notice" if you create
something the rest of us might be interested in. :)
