MobiLink and UltraLite new features

Following is a list of changes and additions to the software since version 6.0.2.

New data types Real and double data types are now fully supported.
Character set translation The MobiLink synchronization server now translates all uploaded characters to Unicode and passes them to the consolidated database using the Unicode ODBC API. Conversely, it translates all downloaded characters from Unicode to the character set of your UltraLite application. Character set translation within the consolidated database server can influence the results, but the new system allows more consistent behavior across multiple platforms.

For more information, see Controlling ODBC driver character-set translation.
MobiLink synchronization server runs as a Windows NT service When you run the MobiLink synchronization server as a service, you can configure it to continue running when you log off the Windows NT workstation.

For more information, see Running MobiLink Outside the Current Session.
DB2 setup scripts provided To make it easier to use IBM DB2 as a consolidated database, a DB2 setup script has been added to the available set scripts.

For a list of setup scripts, see Setting up a consolidated database.
