Port to BlackBerry

D

Daniel

Hello,

I'm developing a db and have been recently asked if there was anyway to
connect aspects of it to a blackberry.

For instance the db will track inventory and they would like to be able to
make entries in a simple system on the blackberry and then have it sync up
with the db when they connect to the laptop at the office. Does this make
sense? Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Daniel P

If there are "databases" for the Blackberry, then there are most likely conduits that can move data between the handheld
and the desktop ... if so, then you can certainly move portions of your data from the desktop to the Blackberry. I've
dealt with the Palm platform, and there are a couple of different databases for that platform. None of them are really
"relational", but you can normally work around that by massaging the data as it comes into your desktop system.

You will NOT, however, be able to directly port your Access db to the Blackberry (or at least I've never seen a program
that would do this). You'll have to build your interface in a langauge that's compatible with the Blackberry, then use a
database on the handheld to store info/edits/updates etc, then move that data back to the desktop ...
