Creating databases for Windows CE

You can create databases for Windows CE by copying a SQL Anywhere database file to the device.

Sybase Central has features to make database creation easy for Windows CE databases. If you have Windows CE services installed on your Windows desktop, you have the option to create a Windows CE database when you create a database from Sybase Central. Sybase Central omits some features for Windows CE databases, and optionally copies the resulting database file to your Windows CE device.

Enable checksums for Windows CE databases When creating a database that will be deployed to Windows CE, you should enable checksums. This helps to provide early detection if the database file becomes corrupt.
