Hi all,

I'm currently developing a pocket pc Windows Mobile 5.0 based application, that is client/server based.
I'll have a server with SBS2003 and SQL Server2005 and i've to query very often the database to get/validate some information.

In front of this, i started to have some doughts, resulted from a couple of documents i read before.
What is the best way to access the database ( wifi link) query the data, update or delete it and put the changes back into the DB, having in mind the some trick to avoid lost data, during a possible wifi link lost or battery failure, i have seen webservices applications, i've seen pocketsql applications, i'have seen ppc accessing the server directly with tradicional sql native client and i don't know what's the best way to do my job.

Advantages and disadvantages of using webservices in this case?

I got a little confused about this, someone who had already experienced something in this area, please help me.

Thanks in advance

Teixeira
