Is it possible to access Oracle server from Pocket PC (Windows CE)?
If so what tools I need for?
I'm developing PPC application which one should be able to read from/write to an Oracle server.

Many thanks in advance.

Sounds like an application for Oracle Lite and Replication.

@Everyone: Has anyone ever worked with Oracle Lite and Replication and got it to work?

Upd: Have a look at this reference http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B10044_01/clients.htm#638872 which discusses "Oracle CorporateSync 3.0.2 for Pocket PC".

Thanks a lot, djmartin.
But is there a way for "direct" connection? I don't like the idea of replication.

I expect that you could connect it to a mobile telephone (cell-phone in some vocabularies) and just use the standard web browser or terminal emulator to access your application, whether that be Oracle based using Forms, HTMLDB, VB, or COBOL.
