Pocket RDA is a new application that makes remote database use and administration possible from Pocket PCs. You can reach any ODBC compliant databases using Pocket RDA since the software consists of two components: the Pocket PC application and a server conduit application.
"Pocket RDA from www.gui-innovations.com is a boon for DBA's and support personnel (and anyone else who needs to access data remotely!) everywhere. Sit in a meeting and get the latest sales figures. Pocket RDA will allow you to control ANY database accessible through ODBC or ADO from your Pocket PC. Simply connect to your server, select your database and away you go. Connect using a network card, or a modem into your system. Pocket RDA uses a multi-threaded 'data server' as a middleman, and routes requests to your Pocket PC. From your Pocket PC you can:
• Run queries
• Insert/update/delete data
• Execute stored procedures
• Examine the structure of your databases
• All through our 'friendly' interface"
Pocket RDA is tested with Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, MySql, PostgreSql, Oracle and Image (an HP database). I think it looks nice and seems to be very flexible. Follow the link for more information and screen shots!
