Oracle 8i Lite and Palm, Windows CE and EPOC

This may be a simple question to developers (which I am not), but we have a client who is seeking advice regarding the use of Palm Pilots, Psion or similar devices for field recording of data.
Their database is Oracle 7.3.4 (soon to be upgraded to 8) with development done in Forms 5. I understand that Oracle 8i Lite enables a database of this vintage to be used in conjunction with the handhelds, but I do not understand the process.
Is Oracle 8i Lite loaded onto the handheld? Or is it used to convert the required tables and forms into cut down versions for the limited use by the smaller device?
What is the role of the host PC for the smaller devices?
I guess - how does it work in layman's terms.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks.

We haven't tried 8i Lite on a palmtop. But we are trying to use it over the Internet and we are having some problems. Have you used 8i Lite over the Internet?!?
Thanks..

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Oracle 8i Lite Synchronizatoin Problem--Very Crucial and Urgent

    Currently,we are using Oracle 8i lite Version Release 4.0.1 in
    our project.
    Following is the problem we are facing during Web-To-Go
    Synchronization.
    We have published about 200 snapshots of tables on the Web-to-go
    server.
    After Installing the Web-to-Go Client,
    the first time we went Offline, both the webtogo.odb and the
    user odb got downloaded to the client's machine.
    the size of user odb was about 10.7 MB containing 200
    snapshots,without any data and the application about 15 MB.
    We checked up the odb using plus80 and verified that all the
    tables have been created(200 snapshots+200 snapshot logs).
    Once we went Online , a memory/application error (illegal
    operation,unable to access memory) was displayed.The m1 file
    also remained in the client's machine.
    Basically the synchronization fails from client to server.
    Everytime the synchronization is fine,if the odb needs to be
    created freshly,but once created and synchronized,the same error
    is displayed.
    We tried publishing with a reduced no of tables,and it went on
    fine with both offline and online up to a size 8.28MB,with
    about 152 tables.
    An increase of even 10 KB by an addition of 2 more tables,gives
    out the same error.
    The limit on the no of snapshots is specified as 256 per refresh
    group.
    We are using only 200 as of now and that should be ok.
    Please let us know the possible reasons for such kind of a
    problem.
    Let us know in case of any other clarification regarding the
    problem.
    Is there any limitation or requirement at the client site,w.rt
    memory?
    Pls Help
    Meena.

  • [Oracle 9i Lite] Request for Windows CE 3.0 PowerPC 821 release

    After 10 days, we have unfortunately received no answer to our request mails.
    We try an ultimate post in this forum, hoping that Oracle representatives are watching AND answering.

    Dear Oracle Development Team,
    Hitachi & Cytale are launching a project with the INSEE (National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies), to equip their enquirers with a mobile platform (the Cybook Pro), to update national databases on a daily basis (e.g. the French Consumer Price Index).
    The INSEE considers integrating Oracle 9i Lite solution into their software architecture.
    Before moving developments any further, we need to know:
    - whether you are willing to compile Oracle 9i Lite for our platform;
    - if so, when the release can be expected for tests and development.
    Notes:
    - The Cybook Pro runs Windows 3.0 on a PowerPC 821 (PPC821).
    - The ODBC module of Oracle 9i Lite will be used.
    - If needed, we can provide you with a PPC821 SDK.
    - We (Cytale & INSEE) are willing to help if tests need be done.
    - The INSEE will have their choices finalized by the end of May, feasibility and development tests must be fully completed before that date.
    Companies working on the project are:
    - Hitachi <http://www.hitachi.fr>
    - INSEE <http://www.insee.fr>
    - Cytale <http://www.cytale.com>
    We are looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
    Best regards,

    This is caused by a bug in Oracle's ODBC API for Windows CE in
    the dbaccess.cpp header file. It can be fixed by doing the
    following;
    at (or about) line 155;
    Inside For Loop, before
    'if(::SQLGetData' statement.
    memset(&g_szBuff, 0, sizeof(g_szBuff));
    This will reset the memory for the data column after it has been
    read.
    Oracle would have to implement this fix and then recompile mSQL
    in order for mSQL to display NULL values correctly.
    Cheers,
    Allen.
    >
    Actually the problem is not (only) in mSQL as we are using the
    API to view the data and are seeing the same result. We suspect
    the problem is in the API which mSQL is probably also using to
    access the data.

  • Where can I download Oracle.DataAccess.Lite.dll for Windows CE 5

    Hi,
    I'm starting a project with Visual Studio 2008 and I need to access an Oracle Database.
    After searching a lot, I found this page: Oracle Database Lite 10g Mobile Client Windows Mobile, but it's for Windows Mobile 6, do you know where can I found the DLL for Windows CE 5 ?
    Regards,
    Sandro Herbst

    Developer 6i is no longer available for download (at least not that I can find: it is not available in the usual places [e-Delivery, OTN, My Oracle Support]). The only way I can think of that you can get the version you need for Red Hat is to contact Oracle Support and submit a special request for the software or if you know someone that has a copy of the software - ask them to make you a copy.
    @BelMan, your link at http://www.cedet.dk/ours/otndownloads.html is no longer valid.
    Hope this helps,

  • Separate Palm desktop installs for Palm M505 and its apps and Palm Treo 680 and its apps on same Windows XP computer?

    Hello:
    I'm trying to do a workaround. I've got a Palm M505 that has a terrific keyboard that hooks up to it. This lets me write documents in a very portable way. The Treo 680 never had the equivalent, really full-sized external keyboard made compatible with it. So, I want to create documents on the M505 but otherwise mostly use the Treo 680. 
    Here's the rub. When I tried to sync both devices to my Palm Desktop version 4.1.2 for Windows XP, it didn't work. Hotsync tries to synchronize apps that won't work on the M505. Also, the versions of Documents to Go are very different (5.x versus 8.x).
    I would love to have a separate Palm Desktop installation for each device, so I can have a nice desktop environment for each by launching them separately. But, the Palm Desktop installation "wizard" shuts down and won't give me the opportunity to do a separate Desktop install.
    Any ideas other than buying an ultra-small laptop and dropping this kludgy scheme? For instance, if I were to copy the installed files from one directory to another, would this work, or would it not be set up in the Registry?
    Thanks!
    Post relates to: Treo 680 (Cingular)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Okay. Stubbornness pays off! I was able to beam documents between my Palm M505 and Treo 680, avoiding the need for complicated syncing of both Palms to my laptop machine. I was also able to beam documents from both Palms to my Dell Inspiron M300 laptop, running Windows XP Pro.
    When beaming between Palm devices, the results were better. In the M505, Documents to Go version 5.004 doesn't translate documents into Microsoft Word format but into something it calls Word to Go. The Treo has DTG version 8.003, which is able to read files in Word to Go format and save in native Microsoft Word for Windows format.
    However, even when beaming a Word to Go (old format) document directly onto the Desktop of my Windows XP machine, it gave me a document I could open, with the text I'd input following a bunch of characters Word obviously didn't understand. If I add the file from my desktop to the newer Documents to Go version on my laptop, I expect it will translate it into a Word file when it syncs to the Treo but haven't tested that. In either case, beaming between Palm devices is the easiest solution and completely solves the problem.
    For any readers who are interested, the reason I've so stubbornly tried to solve this problem is that I'm a fast touch typist. My old Palm M505 plugs directly into a wonderful, old Palm Portable Keyboard that is full-sized. Because it's a hard-wired connection, I can type fast. That old keyboard compresses into the same folded footprint as some new foldover external keyboards. It does this even though much bigger by folding in an accordian-like fashion, with four flat surfaces folder together. That keyboard design now exists in some of the keyboards sold by IGo corporation (their old name for it was Sierra Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard). But, they were unable to figure out how to handshake their Bluetooth with the odd Bluetooth configuation in the Treo 680. Why Palm made the Bluetooth library different in the Treo 680 from other Treos is a mystery to me, but enough of this tangent. Some interested in this workaround may be curious for similar reasons.
