The "Familiar" (Linux on Handhelds) PIM suite uses sqlite as the underlying mechanism for storing the PIM data. They may have a mechanism worked out by now, for synchronization.

Microsoft recently released their compiler and toolchain for free download: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ Check the license! It is not really fair! Don't use this toolchain. Oops, I hadn't read the license (nor used the software). The licensing restrictions are rather agressive towards all Open Source software. Read especially section 3.2.

I would prefer this option. In addition it should be possible to remove the COPY-Command by a compiletime switch.

I have a similar problem; for the synchronization step of my software, the database is dumped to a text format sorting on an object id and version column, and then I use diff to produce a patch that I then simply upload. I then use rsync to download updates. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
