Replication on Handheld devices

  • I have a Windows 2003 server that runs SQL Server 2000. I also have 2 HP iPAQ pocket pc's. They both have Pocket PC 2003 Prem on them.

    What I am trying to do is replicate a database, from the server to the pocket pc's.

    Based on my research, I think my server would be the publisher and the distributor. The pocket pc's would be the subscribers. The type of replication I was thinking of using is merge replication.

    I also think I need to install SQL Server CE on the pocket pc's. Which version of SQL Server CE would I use with Pocket PC 2003 Prem?

    Please let me know if I am on the right track and if I am missing anything.

    Thanks for the help.

  • You are on the right track!

  • SQL CE 2.0 would be your most likely candidate.

    Talks to SQL Server 2000 via the server side setup of SQL CE 2.0.

    Does not require you to apply a different .Net Compact Framework to the device

    You could also use SQL Mobile

    Talks to SQL Server 2000 via the server side install of SQL Mobile

    Does require you to apply a different .Net Compact Framework (2.0) to the device

    Your other assumptions fit with what we do here
