How to build NET Compact Framework and PostgeSQL 9.4 link?

Question

PostgreSQL

There is a server with PostgeSQL 9.4 and a device on wince7 ( https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/inte... )
In this case, I have access to the NET Compact Framework 3.5 and the sdk of the device, which regulates only access to the scanner.
It is necessary that the client on the device sends a request to PostgeSQL and receives a response. As I understand there are no data providers for the Compact Framework and I cannot send a request directly (?) I need some kind of intermediary on the server, such as restfull api.
How to implement it in this case? This is my first time working in this area.

Answer 1

If you need to get from the device to an external database, then directly "do not go through". In your case, you need to make SOAP or REST web services (I did SOAP), and use them to get the necessary data.
