Creating databases for Windows CE 

You can create databases for Windows CE by copying an Adaptive Server Anywhere database file to the device.

Sybase Central has features to make database creation easy for Windows CE databases. If you have Windows CE services installed on your Windows or Windows NT desktop, you have the option to create a Windows CE database when you create a database from Sybase Central. Sybase Central enforces the requirements for Windows CE databases, and optionally copies the resulting database file to your Windows CE machine.
