Several benefi ts of using mobile internet includes transmitting data through querying and updating databases, e-commerce transactions and daily business application as well as in education such querying examina- tion results. This paper presents the development of a mobile database application to enable students to access the teaching materials such as lecture notes or tutorials using supported mobile phones or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). Students could also use the system to access class information and check the course work for the enrolled class.
