What is DB2 Everyplace?

DB2 Everyplace is part of IBM's solution for pervasive computing. With DB2 Everyplace, mobile professionals (such as sales people, inspectors, auditors, field service technicians, doctors, realtors, and insurance claim adjusters) can keep in touch with vital data that they need when away from the office.

Organizations are now able to deliver their DB2 enterprise data to mobile and embedded devices. With DB2 Everyplace, you can access and perform updates to a database on your mobile device. With DB2 Everyplace Sync Server, you can synchronize data from the mobile device to other data sources in your enterprise. The File Adapter capability enables you to distribute files and applications to mobile users.

The DB2 Everyplace database is a relational database that resides on your mobile device. To access data on the mobile device, you can write applications using rapid application development tools, the supported set of DB2 Call Level Interface (CLI) functions, Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) methods, or ADO.NET methods.
