OpenBaseMovil has all the features (in fact we are migrating BaseMovil to sit on top of OpenBaseMovil) but synchronization. We offer synchronization services in a variety of ways and business models, and you can even try them free. Please, contact me for more information: narciso /at/ elondra /dot/ com Regards, Narciso Hi sigma12,

It is quite helpful indeed. Is it possible to access this database created on Symbian phone (S60) 3rd edition and transfer it to a PC? I have a database on PC (server) and I want to create a java module to synchronize it with the database present on symbian device. Do you think it is possible? Thanks in advance for your inputs.

I can't tell you exactly where the S60 emulator places the files. Sun WTK's and emulators based on it by various manufacturers store the rms files in the appdb folder. For WTK 2.2 it was just beneath the root instalation folder of the WTK, for WTK 2.5.2 a folder called j2mewtk is created on the user home folder, and the appdb folder is on it. On the device, usually the rms files are not accessible due to security constraints. But on Symbian phones it is possible to get to them. For 2nd edition devices they are placed in the same folder of the .jar file and it is a single file that can be more or less viewed with an hexadecimal editor. For 3rd edition devices, this was improved and it is more difficult to actually view the contents of the file. In fact, with 2nd edition phones you could move the data file from one device to another and it will work, but that doesn't work for 3rd edition. Of course, you need FExplorer or similar software on Symbian to view the internal filesystem. We will provide in the future a file based storage, but probably only for BlackBerry, since the file storage has many drawbacks in terms of security and API access (applications need to be signed).

I mean at which location the database is created. Will appreciate any pointers.

I've been trying to get around any limitations myself. It's messy right now but kinda works. I didn't touch your code at all, maybe that's why it's a bit messy. As I have to work with that I get from your public functions :P I'll see what I can come up with which may be handy and actually usable ;P I also filed 2 Bug Reports on Sourceforge so you could include the fixes for them in the next release.

Very good news, and thanks for the information. We hope to be able to give you a new storage engine for overriding the limitations. Next week will be a busy one with the 3GSM show, but the next one we'll try to give you an approximate release date. Great!

After getting my code working again I loaded the Application onto my BB and it worked exactly as it was in the simulator. I can now confirm, that the database works on a real device.

Stefan reported the same, but I think that he has tested it on a real BB device. We'll investigate on how to use the prebuilt libraries for BB, but the important thing is that you can use it, no matter how. :-) Hi Sebastian,
