Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Batch updates
Sean, perhaps I am missing something from your question, but this sounds like a job for Oracle Lite (whatever name the marketing folks call it now, it used to be Oracle Lite anyway). I had an environment similar to your scenario.... engineers in the field would use their laptops all day scanning assets, etc. and then upload at night. They had a custom application on their machine and it used the Oracle Lite platform with a small database. This db was then synched over dialup each night with the enterprise DB, then in the morning they dialed up and got the work orders for the day. There were PL/SQL packages to check for integrity, etc. Obviously, the next logical extension to this project could have been using the Oracle Lite DB for Palms. In any case, look at the Oracle Lite product for this functionality... it may be just what you need.
BTW, if you get a chance and have the time (hard to get I know), load the Oracle Lite DB for Palms and play around w/ it.... it is really a neat tool. It even has a little SQL interface to write queries on. Don't know how well it scales but it is fun to mess around with.
