resources like a Pocket PC, I would think that a programming language
connecting straight to the datasource would be better for conserving
battery life and such. It may require learning a new language or
something, but 3 tiers seems like it'd mean 3 times the resource hit and
also 3 points of possible failure. I've never ventured into this sort
of development, so I'm speaking from complete ignorance, but those would
be my fears of doing the 3-tier approach vs. the 2 tier. If you did 2
tier, it seems you could even simplify things and use XML or something
like that to store the data as opposed to a database. I guess it
depends on the size of the data, etc.

Good info, thanks. Hmm, if I want to use either Access .mdb file or SQL
CE database, what language would seem most convenient, say, the CE has a
web server, ASP? btw, could your pocket PC install a web server?
App-wise, personally I like the three-tiered datasource or native
database call,web server and client approach vs. datasource and a
programming language.
