Best way to send document to Bluetooth printer? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hey all,
Quick question. My employer wants me to write a mobile application for service men to use that will access info from a MySQL database and print a form to a Bluetooth printer.
Is this even possible in .NET CF? Also, is there a way within PIE or Opera Mobile to use printing if I wanted to do a web-interface?
I appreciate the advice. Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
David

Live mobile link to office??

Hi folks, i have been searching for a while but to no avail and was hoping for some advice.
I dont really know much when it comes to mobile devices and networking etc, but what i would like to know is that if it was possible to be able to have a link to my office computers/network via a mobile device such as a pda? Also would this be a "live" link that if i was on the road, i would be able to access info in the office computer and download/upload to and from it?
Any info on this would be very much appreciated and also if this was possible then what kinda hardware/software would i have to get for it to all work.
Thanks for any help

Thanks for the reply chris.
How would you connect to the office network and access the files if i'm not at the office?
Thanks again
You need to install the client for either of these on your office machine (if your IT bods havent totally locked down your machine) and then access the web interface from home via your mobile or home PC.
You wont actually be connecting to your office network - just a local web connection to your PC which of course must be left on.
You might have issues with your corporate firewall - so try them all. GOTOMYPC is not free however.
PM me if you need more help.

Android SQL Client

Hi All,
Does anyone know of a SQL client for Android? Just something for running basic queries when I need to check on a system and can't be arsed waiting for a computer to boot up. The databases I use are MS SQL Server.
I've searched about and can't find anything. I've also had a look at the dev docs for Android and it looks like it should be straight forward using the java.sql class but unfortunately Java isn't in my skill set at the moment and the day job & life in general doesn't leave me with much time to learn it.
If there isn't a program does anyone have any plans to write one ;-)
Cheers
Keith
Anyone ???
It'd be pretty darn insecure to open up your databases to use a remote client like that, why not just use something like phpmyadmin for it? It runs fine in the android browser and theres tons of alternatives that probably have iphone themes that would work great. Alternatively you could get debian set up and grab one of the hundreds of apps to do it in the repository
I need this as well. I'm constantly on SQL Enterprise Manager on my PC and when mobile, I have to teamviewer to my desktop and run queries there, which is such a torture.
I've bought RemoteDB, which I can't seem to get to work properly, I can't switch databases and the connection registry is very confusing.
Anybody?!
Also interested
I'm also interested in this topic.
As far as opening your db's up to the internet, that's a bogus argument. Anyone remotely managing enterprise databases will be using a vpn tunnel, and not the open web.
Having an Android app to connect to Microsoft SQL and Oracle would be extremely helpful. I've been trying to figure out how to mod Oracle's SQLDeveloper to do just that but without any success so far.

SQL Client
Hi Guys
I looked for something like this for a while as well, and couldn't find anything that did what I wanted, so I made one myself
Key features I wanted are the following
Be able to connect directly to a db server. I used the jdts jdbc driver for Java to get this right
Be able to connect to any SQL Server db. I'll add support for Postgres and MySQL if this gains any popularity
List of all databases on the server (excluding system dbs) and allow you to quickly switch between them
List tables in the currently selected db, and generate Select statements for them
List stored procedures in the currently selected db, and pull the code for them so you can change it
Use a tabbed interface for the different sql queries, to allow you to run many queries at once
This is all done and works really well. Large queries take longer to run than they would on a pc, but they run nonetheless.
Let me know what you think, and feel free to suggest features. If enough people like it and use it, I'll bite the bullet and buy the developer so I can publish it on the Play store
I hope you enjoy it
ps. The installer is signed with the standard testing key, so you will need to go into your settings and allow applications from unknown sources
pps. I ask for internet access to get access to the network sockets, but dont actually connect to the internet.

I've downloaded it and played with it a bit - looks good. One feature I'd suggest off the top is storing the connection info. It's a pain having to enter the server address and username each time.
If you are still looking for a SQL client I had written one as well.
It should cover most of the popular databases and works well with tablets and phones.

I'm also open to suggestions and questions if anyone decides to give it a try.

so, this one does BOTH MySQL and MS SQL, and, your other one *just* MySQL ?
thanks, anyone

Correct. The pro version will handle MySQL, MS SQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase, and Oracle up to version 10.1.
The MySQL version is strictly MySQL.

thanks for reply (and for nice app!)
nice, looks good... even better, seems to work well....connected to remote MySQL OK
suggestion: please auto-suggest correct ports for relevant SQLs
so, editing can only be done via queries ? (time to learn SQL syntax..?)
next, I'll try connecting to MS SQL, whilst I know a tiny bit about MySQL, I know nothing about MS, might be asking for help...
Nic,
need some help, if you can:
having issues with MS SQL, MS SQL is on a cloud server, for all I know, port could be blocked..
I've setup definition with port 1433, get 'failed to connect'
how to t/s outside of the app ?
should "telnet host 1433 " work ?
I'm getting
# telnet mssql2008.xx.yy 1433
Trying 202.111.22.33...
telnet: connect to address 202.111.22.33: Connection timed out
what else can I try ?
thanks for any pointers!

Hinting a default port is a good idea. I will see about adding in an upcoming release.
Yes right now anything beyond a simple select or delete must be done with a custom query. My goal is to make it more like the desktop editors, but since I am the only developer it might take a while. But I am not saying it won't happen.
If telnet is failing to connect then there is a firewall rule blocking your IP. Three things could fix this.
1. Add your IP to the database allow list (talk to the DBA)
2. If you can connect to the network the DB is on via VPN then you should. The db might be restricted to local IP
3. Use the SSH features of SQLTool to connect to a server on the databases allow list
You were smart to try the telnet. I would have done the same thing.
Feel free to contact me here or through the tools site. I'm happy to help

forgot to specify sql type...... ooops
suggestion: don't allow save unless all req. stuff filled in...
OK, I seem to be in.
can I dump/backup with this app ?
thanks.
decent app, well done, wish you success in further development, if I can help in any way, happy to try

Nice catch on the SQL Type. I will work to correct that.
For dump / backup are you referring to data or structure or both? Right now I have exporting DDL on my things to do list, but if you're referring to something else I'd like to hear it.
Thanks for the compliments on my app. I definitely want to hear more suggestions if you have them. Also please don't forget to rate well when you get a chance

Got a new tp2 and been searching for a mobile Microsoft Office Access app, to view my company customer data base. Its a 45meg database, MS Access file.
Did a search here for access, office access, Microsoft Office Access, and no results.
Anyone know of a Access viewer or app that will work well?

APP Request : printing

Hello, the more I use my PDA to emulate a PC experience, the more i deplore the missing print function in all applications.
Often I find myself in need to print an email, its attachment or any other file.
Does anyone feel like me we need to be able to print anywhere ? (like on the new Nokia's for instance)
yea here too, this is something we used to have in the old pocket pc & windows ce but not sure if there is anything available for windows 6.x.
anyone have any info??
How about JetCet Print?
Jetcet and a BT equipped Canon I80 printer works great with winmobile 6.1. Prints email or files including pictures and pdf
HP ePrint
Hi all,
Try the newest HP ePrint enabled printers: from any device you can just send an email with the document attached (picture, MS Office document, web page) directly to the printer's email address. Both message's body and attachement are automatically printed by the printer connected to internet.
No software is needed on device and works from any phone/OS.
Regards,
Radu
