Mobilink Sync - I'd like to setup one table in my publication to be "upload-only". I will set the download_ scripts to be {ml_ignore} and only setup ML scripts for the upload_. This upload-only table will continue to grow in size without download cursors to partition or delete the data. Is there a way to maintain this upload-only table by deleting rows older than 30 days for example (without having those deleted rows upload in the upload_delete sync)? |

I'm pretty sure that the STOP/START SYNCHRONIZATION DELETE command will do exactly what you want. I think the sample on the page even demonstrates deleting records older than a month, which isn't exactly 30 days, but is pretty close. :) Please note the warnings on the page. They are there for a reason. Warning #1: This command can be useful when making corrections to a remote database, but should be used with caution as it effectively disables MobiLink synchronization. You should only stop deletion logging temporarily. Warning #2: The way in which UltraLite traces row states is unique. Be sure you understand the implication of deletes and row states. Reg Perfect! I had never known these STOP/START statements existed for deletes. Thanks!

A good way to think about this feature/statement is that while active it simply prevents the DELETE operations from synchronizing. So, if you have a downloaded row, and delete it while STOP SYNC DELETE is active, it's deleted from the remote but MobiLink won't hear about the delete. If you insert then (normally) delete a row on the remote without synchronizing, nothing will be synchronized for that row, of course. If you insert a row then delete it while STOP SYNC DELETE is active and then synchronize, what happens? The remote will synchronize the insert, only.

Are you asking about maintatining the table at the remote database, or at the consolidated? I suspect remote, but wanted to double check.
Is your remote database a SQL Anywhere database or an UltraLite database?

Good question. Maintaining the remote which is Ultralite in this instance.
