UltraLite new features

UltraLite 7.0.1 introduces several new features:

• Develop UltraLite applications with MobileBuilder    MobileBuilder is a rapid application development tool for small devices. You can use MobileBuilder to develop UltraLite applications, using the UltraLite Database component included with SQL Anywhere 7.0.1.

  For information on this feature, see the separate book Developing UltraLite Applications with MobileBuilder.

• New synchronization stream for Palm Computing Platform    In addition to the current ULPalmDBStream synchronization stream, a new synchronization stream is available for the Palm Computing Platform in this release. The new stream is called ULConduitStream, and in many circumstances this stream can provide dramatic performance improvements for HotSync synchronization.

  This feature superceded  A new conduit-based synchronization stream introduced in version  8.0.0 supercedes both ULPalmDBStream and ULConduitStream.

• Monitoring and canceling synchronization    You can view synchronization status and build the ability to cancel synchronization into your UltraLite applications.

  For more information, see Monitoring and canceling synchronization.

• User authentication in MobiLink    MobiLink synchronization now has its own user authentication scheme. Password fields and methods have been added to the UltraLite synchronization parameters to take advantage of this scheme.

  For more information, see Stream parameters reference.

• New platforms for secure synchronization    You can now use the transport-layer security features for synchronization from a wider range of target platforms, including Windows CE on the Hitachi SH4 chip, and VxWorks on Intel x86 chips and on the Windows VxSim emulator.

  For more information, see the following:

  • SQL Anywhere Studio Supported Platforms.

  • Stream parameters reference.

  • Synchronization on Windows CE.

    VxWorks unsupported in version 9  Support for the VxWorks platform is dropped entirely in version 9.

• Non-synchronizing tables    You can include tables in the reference database that are included in the UltraLite database, but are not synchronized. Other than synchronization, the tables can be used like any other table in the remote database.

  For more information, see Including non-synchronizing tables in UltraLite databases.

• Windows CE emulator support enhancements    You can now run UltraLite applications under Windows CE x86 emulators.

• Synchronization optimization    Client applications can specify that a synchronization includes only uploads, and that no download phase should be attempted. This option lessens the overall synchronization time when only uploads are needed, especially over slow communication links.

  For more information, see Stream parameters reference.

• Automatic HTTP version detection    The MobiLink synchronization server now detects and uses the HTTP version used by each client. This capability renders the version parameter on the MobiLink synchronization server -x option redundant.

  For information on the MobiLink synchronization server command line, see MobiLink Synchronization Server Options.

• Client port specification    You can specify, at a client, a range of ports used by a client during synchronization. This feature can be useful when synchronizing from a client inside a firewall to a MobiLink synchronization server outside.

  For more information, see Stream parameters reference.
