The package costs around $300, upgrades are cheaper.
UltraLite is not a small component within it.
In order to generate an UltraLite database, it is modelled from an
Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA) database (called the reference
database). This allows proper performance tuning to happen. If your
application is using SQL statements (select, update, delete),
generally these statements must be optimized. The engine has to use
the correct indicies to make lookups as fast as possible.
Since UltraLite can exchange data (via HotSync, Serial and TCPIP) with
Microsoft, Oracle, DB2 and Sybase, the package also include MobiLink
Synchronization Server. This is where all the work takes place. You
define where the data goes and where and what data is exchanged with
the UltraLite database.
If you are developing an application that will never synchronize with
any enterprise database, you still require the ASA reference to
generate access plans for the UltraLite database.
UltraLite is very much integerated in the SQL Anywhere Studio package.
