DDH Software introduced a version of its <A HREF="http://www.ddhsoftware.com/news.html?sub=HanDBase&view=release&num=33">HanDBase relational database application for BlackBerry smartphones</A> from Research In Motion, including the popular BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry 8800 Series handsets.
The HanDBase platform allows users to create their own databases and download databases from others over the Internet. Select editions of HanDBase for BlackBerry smartphones even synchronize with corporate databases from Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Sybase, Oracle, MySQL and other ODBC sources. All versions of HanDBase for BlackBerry include the popular Windows desktop version that enables users to create, import, and manage their information before transferring the data to their BlackBerry smartphone for anytime/anywhere access and data entry. Additionally each version ships with a two way synchronization conduit to synchronize changes made on both the desktop and BlackBerry smartphone. Multiple BlackBerry smartphones can share a single database, merging changes in one of several different configurations.
