Hi Guys/gals, we want to connect our emulator to an external database server (like MySql).Is this kind of  a connection supported by the emulator.We are using the Series60 FeaturePack2 sdk version 2.0. Can we do it by using the Ethernet Plug-in?

Are you asking about connecting to and executing SQL statements from the device to external database servers? I am also interested in this but I don't think it is available yet, someone needs to do all the hard work.

Hi AK
ya AK, u r right. i wanted to do just that but today i discovered that series 60 doesn't support external database like MySql.It is supported in Series 80 onwards. for taht we need a DALP(Database  Access Library for Pda's) object to connect.
