Redwood Shores, CA, Jan. 10, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) today announced the latest version of its Oracle Database Lite - 10g, which lets enterprises transfer database applications between servers and mobile devices.

Oracle Database Lite 10g enables mobile users to operate while in areas where network coverage is unavailable, unreliable or unsecured, according to Oracle. Using a bi-directional synchronization server with a publication and subscription-based model, Oracle Database Lite 10g enables mobile users to synchronize data between their corporate database and mobile device at regular intervals. Data transfer is possible over any connection medium including LAN, wireless, satellite or radio. In case of a network failure, Oracle Database Lite 10g's advanced recovery systems enable users to resume activity from point in time checkpoints where they left off.

The Mobile Manager in Oracle Database Lite 10g allows customers to administer and monitor their mobile chain from a Web-based console. Mobile Manager console features include complete application lifecycle management to develop, provision and deploy mobile applications; advanced client device, diagnostics, configuration and lockdown facilities; and centralized user provisioning and identity management.

Oracle Database Lite 10g development environments include support for Java and .NET tools such as Oracle JDeveloper 10g and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. Oracle Database 10g Lite also supports the Microsoft ADO.NET interface. Applications can be built using several programming languages such as Java, C/C++ and Visual Studio for platforms including Linux, Microsoft Windows CE/NT/2000/XP/2003, Palm OS, and Pocket PC.
