UltraLite Database User's Guide
  Tutorial: Walking Through a Sample UltraLite Application
    Introduction

The CustDB sample application

Versions of the CustDB application are supplied for each supported interface, including complete source control. This tutorial uses the compiled version of the application for Windows NT/2000/XP.

When running the sample application, you are acting as an order taker or sales manager. The application allows you to view outstanding orders, approve or deny orders, and add new orders.

You can carry out the following tasks with the sample application.

• View lists of customers and products.

• Add new customers.

• Add or delete orders.

• Scroll through the list of outstanding orders.

• Accept or deny orders.

• Synchronize changes with the consolidated database.

When you run the CustDB UltraLite application, you are working on a single remote database, and synchronizing your changes with a consolidated database.

In a typical UltraLite installation, there will be many remote databases, each running on a handheld device, and each containing a small subset of the data from the consolidated database.
