DB2 Everyplace

DB2 Everyplace is a tiny “fingerprint” database of about 100K. It is designed for low-cost, low-power, small form-factor devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld personal computers (HPCs), or embedded devices. DB2 Everyplace runs on devices that use the Palm Computing^® Platform, Windows CE, the EPOC operating system, and the QNX Neutrino. DB2 Everyplace provides a local data store on the mobile or embedded device for storing relational data from elsewhere in the enterprise. Relational data can be synchronized to the handheld device from other DB2 data sources such as DB2 UDB for UNIX, Windows, z-Series, and i-Series.

DB2 Everyplace with IBM Mobile Connect will also synchronize data from other ODBC-compliant data sources such as Oracle and Microsoft. The DB2 Everyplace Sync Server mobilizes professionals with e-business information anywhere, anytime. It extends the power of DB2 to a wide range of handheld devices, such as those running the Palm Pilot.

The DB2 Everyplace Personal Application Builder supports building applications for small handheld devices that access DB2 Everyplace databases. Some of its capabilities include:

• Support for visual construction of forms for different devices.

• Support for the lightweight DB2 Everywhere database on the device.

• Scripting capabilities for user-defined logic.

• Integration with other tools for application testing and debugging.
