Dear all,

I know similar issues have been raised before, but I couldn't find a nice
(and clear-cut) answer...

I wish to develop an application on a HP iPaq PDA running Windows CE,
accessing a Postgres+PostGIS database. What would be the best way 
doing
this?

- Can npgsql be compiled for CF? Or;
- Should I change the PL for my Postgres database (i.e. PL/SQL) and use a
different provider? Or; - Can I use the open source .NET implementation
"Mono" on Windows CE?

All helpfull suggesions are very much appreciated!

Rob

Not doing it? All due respect but PostgreSQL+PostGIS is a very heavy
solution for a very light device ;)

I think you mis-understood...

The think I wish to do is: ACCESSING a Postgres/PostGIS database.

PDAs and Pocket PCs run .NET CF but npgslq Provider doesn't support this 
platform.

Anybody already considered (or even implemented) the following 
option?: wrapping npgslq in a .NET Web Service; adding this as a Web 
Service Reference in the .NET CF application.

Or should I just use a plain ADO.NET interface? Is this possible?
Or would you suggest using JDBC?

Thanks for replyíng y'all!

Rob
