The SQL Anywhere installer automatically installs CustDB when it installs the software. The following table lists the location of these files, as well as describes them.
The consolidated database. During installation, an ODBC data source named SQL Anywhere 10 CustDB is created for this database.
The CustDB installation depends on whether you want to use the existing sample or recreate a new file:
For the existing sample: samples-dir\UltraLite\CustDB\custdb.db
Erases changes that were synchronized into the consolidated CustDB.db file, so you have a clean version to work with: samples-dir\UltraLite\CustDB\newdb.bat
For more information about the schema of this file, see Exploring the CustDB Sample for MobiLink.
The remote version of the consolidated database that contains only a subset of the information, depending on which user synchronizes the database.
The file name and location can vary depending on the platform, programming language, or even device.
For AppForge: samples-dir\UltraLiteforAppForge\. You can find a Crossfire or MobileVB specific file version for the device you require. In most cases, the file name is ul_CustDB.udb. However, if you move the Palm version of this file to the desktop, it becomes ul_CustDB.udb.pdb.
For UltraLite.NET: samples-dir\UltraLite.NET\CustDB\Common\
For all other platforms and APIs: samples-dir\UltraLite\CustDB\custdb.udb
The SQL scripts that rebuild a CustDB consolidated database for any one of the supported RDBMSs.
In the samples-dir\MobiLink\CustDB directory, you can find the following files:
For SQL Anywhere: custdb.sql
For Adaptive Server Enterprise: custase.sql
For Microsoft SQL Server: custmss.sql
For Oracle: custora.sql
For IBM DB2: custdb2.sql
For more information about setting up a consolidated database, see Setting up the CustDB consolidated database.
The end-user tools that provide a user-friendly interface to the UltraLite remote database. There is a sample client installed for each supported API.
Each client application also contains a ReadMe.html or ReadMe.txt file. The contents of these files vary. However in some cases they outline the steps required to build and run that sample.
The location the applications and its ReadMe depends on your development environment. See Lesson 1: Building and running the CustDB application.
The SQL statements needed to query and modify information from the UltraLite database and the calls required to start synchronization with the consolidated database.
