Used DB2 Everyplace in second year college class -
students created a 'store' that can be accessed from a Palm
device to order or check order status

Use DB2 Everyplace on Palm OS; Sync Server on NT

"We were amazed that DB2 Everyplace was a full function
database, yet had a small footprint and ran on an handheld
device...And the Mobile Appplication Builder was fantastic -
led students through a point and click programming process
and automatically created the C code for the Palm..."
