Oracle 9i Lite and Satellite Forms on the Palm
I would like to use Oracle 9i Lite 5.0.1with Satellite Forms EE 4.1 on the Palm
The docmentation from each company refers to the other company's documentation and no instructions seem to
exist. I am begining to suspect that to abilty to use Satellite Forms and Oracle Lite on the Palm does not actually
exist and that one must develop applications in C using Code Warrior or other tools.
I would like to use a Satellite Forms application on the Palm running with the RDK to access and store tables
stored in an Oracle Lite database on the Palm. I would then use the MSYNC to move data from the palm to
my Oracle 8.1.7 database server
Satellite Forms appears to store each of its tables as a separate pdb but oracle uses a single pdb for a database
containing multiple tables. There is a check box for Oracle compatible tables but not method to associate
satellite forms tables with an Oracle Lite database except for a link to an ODBC database. The Oracle ODBC drivers
point either to the Oracle database server or to an Oracle Lite database on a PC but not on a Palm.
I can move Satelittle Forms tables from the Palm to Oracle 8.1.7 using ODBC on the PC when I do a Palm Hot Sync
using the Satellite Form conduit
I can move Oracle tables from the Palm to 8.1.7 using MSYNC, the Oracle Mobile Server, and the Oracle Lite
http conduit
I do not know how to move Satellite Forms tables on the Palm to Oracle Lite tables on the Palm.
The only way to use Satellite Forms appears to be to move Satellite Forms tables on the Palm to Oracle Lite tables
on the PC and then use Oracle Lite Msync on the PC to move the data to the Oracle server. This seems to have no
advantage over going from Satellite Forms directly to the Oracle Server via ODBC
Does anyone have any additional information about current or future capabilities. There may have been something that
worked with older versions of Oracle 8iLite 4.0 and Satellite Forms 3.5, but I do not see anything that works now
