Sorry to barge in here, but did you ever take a look at Oracle Lite? It has specifically been built to be used in small computers (cell phones, PDA's) that require synchronization.
Pretty easy to set up, and it works between 5.0.1 (aka 9i) and 8.0 as well as 8i (according to
http://download.oracle.com/docs/pdf/A95260_01.pdf).

So why don't you give it a try?
