Android Supports JDBC ODBC Driver for accessing MDB database. If yes then how access MDB database from android application.
You probably will want to build some kind of middleware application (i.e. RESTful web app, etc) to interface between your Android clients, and your backend database.
I suppose you could include a whole bunch of ODBC libraries on Android, but that seems absolutely the wrong way to be doing things.
android,iphone all phones supports light weight DB.
thats y all the phone require the SQLIte Database.
because all the phone application running in light weight process.
So according to me JDBC ODBC will not accessing in mobile phone.

I developed an offline dictionary application in android that has local db built in sqlite shipped with it during installation. But the problem is that how to can I update, delete, add new record in the local db of application whenever it connects to the internet?
Is there any specific protocol, technique, pattern or model?
Android Apps will typically use ReST architecture.
A good library to help you with this is Retrofit.
There isn't really a "universal" solution to your problem.
I want to connect My Android app to Firebird database using JDBC or Jaybird.I am able to connect it with in JAVA but in android i can't able. so please give me suggestion or idea about it.
Is there any additional Api add into Android App?
Thanks In Adavanced.
In general, you should not use JDBC drivers from Android. Using JDBC from an Android device will be slow and insecure. If you want to connect an Android application to a database, you should write a rest service (eg in Java) that talks to your database, and make your Android application talk to that rest service. It will usually perform better, and is easier to secure than direct database access.
There is a separate port for android of the Jaybird JDBC driver. You can find it on http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidjaybird/ However, this port hasn't been updated for a few years and it seems to have been abandoned.
I want to access an oracle database in my android app. I searched through many tutorials but didn't find the proper one. Can someone suggest me some good tutorials to access oracle in android.
You should consider for mobile server, a clear product from Oracle designed specifically mobile devices. It includes a full synchronization engine that can either run stand alone for example or be controlled from inside your app via API.
Check Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g it can help you.
Considering the mobile domain its not wise and most probably not possible to connect mysql or oracle database using JDBC or ODBC driver as they are heavy and not designed to run on mobile OS.
Go for light weight web services like SOAP or RESTful ...
These webservice returns xml or json in response. parse it on android side and use the data.
The best way to do this is to have proxy/application server that is talking to oracle and can deliver the data to android via convenient format like json or xml.
Direct connection to the oracle database server would require:
Steady network connection
Oracle driver, that is quite heavy
It seems most apps are writing custom logic to sync/replicate cloud data, or using a platform locked service like iCloud.
What cross platform data sync solutions are out there besides roll your own? By "solution" I mean well tested combinations of server and client components.
The two I know of are:
CouchBase Mobile (CouchDB on server, CouchDB on device)
Microsoft Sync Framework (SQL Server on server, SQLite on device)
I know these are quite different data stores, but any data solution that is generalized for many problem types could potentially reduce some wheel reinventing. For example I may need NoSQL for one app and relational for another.
Any other options besides these two?
Sybase SQL Anywhere Studio has UltraLite database as a part.
This database has versions running on iOS, Android, Blackberry, and lets you synchronize through HTTP/HTTPS
As i am being an Android developer, and android is supporting SQLite database,
i would like to know that which are the other mobile platforms supports the SQLite Database
so that i can make SQLite database common and can place it at one place,
and thereafter i can make database transaction from different mobile platforms.
"Due to its small size, SQLite is well suited to embedded systems, and is also included in Apple's iOS (where it is used for the SMS/MMS, Calendar, Call history and Contacts storage), Symbian OS, Google's Android, RIM's BlackBerry and Palm's webOS.[20] However, it is also suitable for desktop operating systems; Apple adopted it as an option in Mac OS X's Core Data API from the original implementation in Mac OS X 10.4 onwards."

If I am not wrong, even meego and maemo have support for sql lite database... In-fact sql lite was created for hand held devices, it doesn't provide all the functionalities of full fledged SQL but then you need to consider its being run on a battery powered device!
