MobileFish Tools for Desktop PC
You must run these tools from your local hard drive, or you will get a security error.

  • The Set Prepopulation Tool (CSV --> SDF) lets you specify your set data in advance. It takes a CSV file as input and creates an SDF file (SQL CE Database) for use with the MobileFish Pocket PC client.
  • The Data File Editor (SDF) lets you work with your MobileFish database (SDF file) on your desktop.
  • The Data Replication Tool (SDF <--> MDB) lets you convert the database between SQL Server CE (SDF) and Microsoft Access (MDB) formats. The Information Management team uses this tool to convert the MobileFish 5 data into the old FishSamp schema for input into Oracle.

MobileFish 5 stores the data in an SDF file (a SQL Server CE database) on the Pocket PC. To get the SDF file to/from the Pocket PC, use Microsoft ActiveSync.
