|
16 on Symbian platform. The information stored in the Comms Database |
|
17 is used to configure components in the comms stack. Information such as connection |
|
18 preferences, account settings and some of the linkage between components can |
|
19 be set in the comms stack. The configuration data is stored in records in |
|
20 database tables. The data also has data schema to define the tables. For more |
|
21 information and a full list of the settings in the Comms Database, see the <xref href="GUID-58089281-9DD0-502D-8DFD-831E7BAA931E.dita">Reference</xref></p><p>The |
