Pocket PC + Informix
A poster asked how to build small PocketPC applications that sync data back and forth with an existing Informix database, and where to start. The thread drifted into off-topic banter about the poster's TV-character pseudonym, but two concrete suggestions were offered: use IBM Cloudscape (noted as still alive and being embedded in products like WebSphere, with a 60-day evaluation download available) or IBM DB2 Everyplace, with links to both product pages. No detailed sync method or confirmed solution was reported by the original poster.

Hello everybody We currently have an application running on an informix DB. I have been asked to write small applications for PocketPC and sync some info back and forth between the pocket PC and the DB. Any suggestion on how to do that ? Where-how to start ? Thank you for all your help , comments and pointers. Regards.

Wasn't Lord Brett Sinclair a character in The Persuaders, played by Roger Moore? Tony Curtis was in it too. And that Ralph Ember-type bloke who owned The Winchester Club in Minder .... It used to be on on Sunday afternoons after The Big Match.
