device:DBF=path\db | temp_dir=\Temp

You should use the device connection parameter for UltraLite client applications that use the same connection string to connect to a Microsoft Windows CE or iPhone device.

Colon (:) is considered to be a separator in addition to underscore (_). Options with a prefix take precedence over options without a prefix.

A temp_dir connection parameter is now available. This must name a directory (which already exists). UL will place the temporary file (with name still derived from the database name) in the specified directory, rather than beside the database file (the default and previous behavior). Specifying a temporary directory with faster I/O characteristics can improve the performance of things like temporary tables which are large relative to the cache size. Long-running transactions can also consume noticeable space in the temp file.

The value of device must meet the file name requirements for Windows CE or iPhone. If you include an absolute path to the database, then all directories must exist before setting the path to this file. UltraLite does not create them automatically.

Any leading or trailing spaces in parameter values are ignored. This connection parameter's value cannot include leading single quotes, leading double quotes, or semicolons.

The following example creates a new connection and identifies different database files for the Windows desktop and Windows Mobile platforms:

"desktop:DBF=C:\dir\db.udb; device:DBF=\SD Card\db.udb; device:temp_dir=\Temp; device:cache_size=4M"
