Life is too short to deal with all the flaws in his arguments.

did.
In my analysis I stated the circumstances that Oracle Lite would be
beneficial over MobiLink and visa versa. Even an ex-Sybase now Oracle
employee came to the same conclusion that I did in that you have to do
your homework and find the best fit for your solution. If your
solution falls under certain circumstances one product is better then
the other.
The only real argument that I have seen against Oracle Lite is
performance. In most cases, performance has little to do with Oracle
Lite, in the same way that performance has little to do with
MobiLink. If your database is not tuned properly, or your SQL is not
efficient, both products would suffer the same issues. Breck, I have
read your posts on performance, so you know exactly what I am talking
about.
My findings in favour of MobiLink were:
1. Your enterprise database is something other then Oracle.
2. Lots of resources on the net. Web casts and other information
available.
MobiLink definitely has more resources then Oracle Lite. Probably
plays a big part into why MobiLink may be chosen over Oracle Lite.
Does that mean that MobiLink is the hands down winner in ever
scenario? No. Same goes for Oracle Lite. For example, Oracle Lite
comes bundled with OC4J synchronizing a full blown J2EE application
with minimal development effort. MobiLink does not have that
capability out of the box. So if a customer wanted to deploy a web
based application, I would have to say that Oracle Lite is the product
of choice. Or how about a customer that already had an Oracle based
application and all their SQL was Oracle SQL and they wanted to
mobilize this same application? Which sync solution would cost them
less? It's not the one that they would have to convert all their
Oracle SQL code.
I know you are a Sybase consultant and obviously your are going to
recommend Sybase products at all costs. But at the same time, it is
okay to admit that Oracle Lite does some things better.
