There's also a (questionable) trend toward using XML, rather than a CSV, as the intermediate file. A recent online webinar from Sybase iAnywhere and AvantGo featured their M-Server software which can send data between the server and a handheld using XML, either by cradle sync or wireless sync.
Anyone who's seen XML knows it's big. Not only is bandwidth an issue, but on the device side, conversion from XML into a Palm database may be slow process. I do, however, like XML for its portable nature. Perhaps one day, XML may become viable for handhelds. --Mike Y. www.ytechnology.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
