0. OVERVIEW

  BookstoreDb example application demonstrates using DBMS APIs. The example
  includes a bookstore database engine and a simple Avkon GUI for testing the
  engine.

  The example complements the "Symbian OS: Using DBMS APIs v1.0"
  document.

  Relevant part is the CBookstoreDb database engine in DBEngine.h. It
  demonstrates following DBMS features:
  
  - Creating, opening and removing a database
  - Creating and dropping a table; creating an index
  - Retrieving, updating, removing and adding books using both 
    CPP API and SQL.
  - Querying and modifying database structure
  - Incremental operations both synchronously and asynchronously
  

1. COMPATIBILITY
  
  Series 60 Platform 2.0
  Tested on the Nokia 6600 mobile phone

  
2. BUILDING

  To run the example in the emulator, the project must be built
  from the following directory:
  - .\group 

  In the Visual Studio environment, create the ABLD.bat and build result 
  directories by typing
     >bldmake bldfiles
  Then build the project to debug emulator by
     >abld build wins udeb

  If having CodeWarrior or Borland environment, refer to their build 
  instructions.


3. INSTALLATION TO DEVICE

  The project provides a package definition file (*.pkg), which can be used 
  to generate required SIS installation package. 

  Notes:
  - The pkg file expect that ARMI build is done.
  - IMPORTANT:
    The file paths within pkg files must be modified to reflect system setup.
    They assume the local files are relative to 
        \Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\Epoc32

  There is also ready-to-use SIS file for quick try on a device.
