MobiLink Synchronization User's Guide
Writing Synchronization Scripts
Adding and deleting scripts in your consolidated database
In most cases, it is recommended that you use stored procedures or Sybase Central to insert scripts into the system tables. However, in some rare cases you may need to use an INSERT statement to directly insert the scripts. For example, older versions of some DBMSs may have length limitations that make it difficult to use stored procedures.
For a complete description of the MobiLink system tables, see MobiLink System Tables.
The format of the INSERT statements that are required to directly insert scripts can be found in the source code for the ml_add_connection_script and ml_add_table_script stored procedures. The source code for these stored procedures is located in the MobiLink setup scripts. There is a different setup script for each supported RDBMS. The setup scripts are:
| Consolidated database | Setup file |
|---|---|
| Adaptive Server Anywhere | scripts\syncasa.sql |
| Oracle | MobiLink\setup\syncora.sql |
| IBM DB2 version 6 and later | MobiLink\setup\syncdb2long.sql |
| IBM DB2 prior to version 6 | MobiLink\setup\syncdb2.sql |
| Microsoft SQL Server | MobiLink\setup\syncmss.sql |
| Adaptive Server Enterprise version 12.5 and later | MobiLink\setup\syncase125.sql |
| Adaptive Server Enterprise prior to version 12.5 | MobiLink\setup\syncase.sql |
Note: IBM DB2 prior to version 6 only supports column names and other identifiers of 18 characters or less, and so the names are truncated. For example, ml_add_connection_script is shortened to ml_add_connection_.
