Oracle Lite, once known as Oracle Mobile, is intended for single users who are using wireless/mobile devices. It differs from other members of the Oracle database family in that it doesn’t use the same database engine. Instead, Oracle developed a light- weight engine compatible with the limited memory and storage capacity of hand- held devices. Oracle Lite is described in more detail at the end of this chapter. Because the SQL supported by Oracle Lite is largely the same as the SQL for other Oracle databases, you can run applications developed for those database engines using Oracle Lite.
