Thread: Pocket PC

How i can use psql (client) on a POCKET PC?

Using psqlodbc if is possibile but also ADO/OLE/DAO and/or any usable
library.

Hi,

I don't know exactly what you're trying to do but... Have you ever consider
implementing

Apache+PHP+PostgreSQl....?

Three years ago I made a little PHP script for a company that uses HP Palm
Pilots in their warehouse. It works very fine and most important it solves
the problem.

All we have to do is :

Buy and acces point suitable fro the palm pilots
install and configure Apache, PHP (postgreSQL was already installed and
running)

I think it's a very effective solution, besides actually there are to many
devices specially designed for palms you'll be surprise...

I hope this could be usefull...

My need is work with MICROSOFT PocketPC :-(
The language desidered is C++ (i known not PHP or ASP).

Hi Antoine,

I suppose you missed Alvaro's point.

He suggests that you create a data-access server that acts as a proxy so
your PDA can access the database with it's web built in browser.

You already have a computer with a running PostgreSQL.
Now you'd need to configure a web-server (like Apache + PHP or another
script language) that can read and write on the Postgres server.
Depending on your situation all this can sit on the same machine.

To access the database you would start IE on your PDA, enter the url of
the db manipulation page and Apache will do the actual talking to the
database. That way you wouldn't use any aditional stuff on the PDA.
You could work with phpPgAdmin to start with.

Provided your application doesn't demand very complex forms, a
web-frontend is no big deal to program in PHP. Complex forms don't fit
well on a tiny PDA screen anyway.
