eSQL for Microsoft Smartphone released - FREE full blown SQL engine for both Windows Mobile platforms
September 11, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R.
By now only Syware company was offering an overpriced and lame database for Microsoft Smartphone called "Visual CE" and it was the one and only database engine for Microsoft Smartphone. That Syware's database was falsely overpopularized because Syware was paying to websites to popularize it. Now we have free (for personal use) SQL engine for Microsoft Smarthone: eSQL is a small, fast, portable and powerful embedded relational SQL database for Windows Mobile devices.
Around Summer 2005 first Smartphone 2005 devices, powered by Windows CE 5 core, will be released, and they will feature built-in "SQL Mobile" engine by Microsoft itself. But in meantime you can enjoy this FREE and superb SQL database engine:
Based on excellent database engine sqlite, eSQL provides rich features including:
- A complete database is stored in a single cross-platform file.
- No setup or administration needed.
- Implements most of SQL92 standard, such as multiple tables, multiple indexes, transactions with atomic commit/ rollback, subqueries, compound queries, views, triggers.
- Support for in-memory database.
- Support database size up to 2 terabytes.
- Very small memory footprint and faster than most popular database.
- Compression for compacting database.
- AES 256-bit encryption for securing data.
- Native C/C++ or standard ODBC API is simple and easy to use.
- A cross-platform graphical database manager can be used to administer an eSQL database.
- An interactive SQL command line tool is provided as an example of how to use eSQL in your application.
