Replication Frame for Mono

Question

We are considering using MonoTouch and MonoDroid to create an application for cross-platform applications.

This application will process the local database, which must be synchronized with the main database (only for one replication).

The only project remotely similar to what we are looking for: http://www.blackdogfoundry.com/home . However, we are not satisfied that we are running it as a service (as well as for Objective-C and Java, and not for Mono).

Synchronizing central databases with local SQLite on a device seems to be a very common issue. It is strange that there is no framework for this (paid or open source).

Rhomobile offers RhoConnect for this. Still not suitable for us.

BTW: I know that we can create it using web services and timestamp columns. I just wanted to avoid having to do this, if possible.

So, the question arises: do you know about any structure / library or the like that can be used by MonoTouch and / or MonoDroid to synchronize a local database with a central database?

Thanks.

Try siaqodb , it fully supports MonoDroid and MonoTouch and has a SyncFramework provider, which you can keep local Sync-ed db with SQLServer from the server side.
