Microsoft says a beta version of its SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition will be available to customers for testing on 30 June. The product is upwardly compatible with all other editions of SQL Server and is designed to make it extremely easy for corporations to build and deploy next-generation mobile and embedded solutions.
Enabling a broad range of applications in retail, medicine, trucking, manufacturing, utilities, consumer electronics and the military, SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition supports wireless and Web-based communications and performance with high levels of security.
It is designed so that developers can build applications quickly and easily. SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition also supports all Windows CE platforms including Pocket PC, Handheld PC (H/PC) and embedded systems running the Windows CE 2.11 operating system.
"The new digital economy challenges companies to distribute information throughout an organisation and with customers across the Web," says Marie Huwe, SQL Server group product manager at Microsoft in the US.
"To succeed, enterprises must create new mobile applications that can be easily deployed in the hands of everyone from salespeople and shop-floor employees to customers. SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition helps businesses gain a competitive advantage by enabling them to easily use next-generation devices and the Web."
