UltraLite SYMBIAN_FILE connection parameter

Performs two different functions:

• When creating a database, this parameter names the new database file.

• When opening a connection to an existing database, the parameter identifies the database.

An UltraLite client application that connects to a Symbian device in addition to another platform using the same connection string.

If you are connecting from an UltraLite administration tool, or your connection object only connects to a Symbian OS database, use DBF.

SYMBIAN_FILE=symbian-db

The default depends on what you set:

• If you do not set a value for this connection parameter, then the value for the DBF parameter, if one has been set, is used.

• If you do not set a value for this parameter nor the DBF parameter, then the default value is ulstore.udb.

This parameter takes precedence over the DBF parameter.

The value of SYMBIAN_FILE must meet the file name requirements for Symbian OS platforms.

Any leading or trailing spaces in parameter values are ignored. This connection parameter's value cannot include leading single quotes('), leading double quotes ("), or semi-colons(;).

• Opening UltraLite connections with connection strings
• Specifying file paths in an UltraLite connection parameter
• Precedence of parameters for UltraLite administration tools
• UltraLite DBF connection parameter
• UltraLite for C/C++: Connecting to a database
• UltraLite for C/C++: OpenConnection function
• UltraLite for embedded SQL: Connecting to a database
• UltraLite for AppForge: Connecting to an UltraLite database
• UltraLite for AppForge: OpenConnection method
• UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere: Connecting to an UltraLite database
• UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere: openConnection method
• UltraLite.NET: Connecting to a database
• UltraLite.NET: Open method

The following example creates a new connection and identifies different database files for the desktop, Symbian OS, and Windows CE platforms:

Connection = DatabaseMgr.OpenConnection("UID=JDoe;PWD=ULdb;
NT_FILE=c:\test\MyTestDB.udb;CE_FILE=MyCEdb.udb;SYMBIAN_FILE=MySymbianDB.udb")
