Expert help please !!

Hi, I have a MC9090 scanner where we have deployed an application which uses webservice to connect to database. Now I want my application to connect to database without using webservice. I don't know whether there is any ODBC driver required for that and whether MC9090 provides it. Experts please share your thoughts !! Eagerly waiting for your reply.

Yes it can be done and it can be done with the .net cf. here is how: http://www.devbuzz.com/articles/zinc...erver_pg1.aspx

I will have to advise you not to do this. stick to the webservices. this gives you a unified platform to connect to the database from the device as well as other platforms. what you will be doing is binding yourself to a specific platform/device.

What database?
You can connect to SQLServer using the SQLClient namespace

Hi mebhas,

Thanks for replying, I want to make sure that there is no Oracle or SQL client installed on the scanner and the link which you provided is all about sql, I needed in Oracle i.e. (Oracle connection).
Please do reply.

Hi petevick,

I want to connect to the oracle database server and not SQLServer.
Also there is no oracle or SQL installed on the scanner that's why we are using webservice

Hi,
unless Oracle do a WM Client, you will need to use web services or a 3rd part solution (such as our SqlLinkCE - http://www.gui-innovations.com/html/sqllinkce.html )
