Hello,

I’m new to MobiOne and so far it’s great! However, I can’t seem to find any posts regarding the use of MobiOne to connect (ODBC) to an existing database. My goal is to put together an iPhone app based on a database file used in my workplace. I can export the data in varying formats. (SQL, .mdb, .csv, .dbf, etc.) The data (300 records) is specific to the Town that I work in and the data would be “Read Only”. I need the data to be stored on the device. (Standalone) SQLite3 seems to be the obvious choice for the iPhone platform but I’ve read that the SQLite3 data source is limited. Is MobiOne capable of connecting to a database, via JavaScript or some other process? If so, which database would be allowed? Is there a previous post that you can direct me to regarding this issue.

I hope I’ve been clear in what I’m asking. One last example would be back years ago when I would use Visual Basic as a frontend and then connect to a Datasource. Code the buttons for navigation, searches, and reports etc.

Thanks in advance for any assistance or direction. Walter

Hi WalterCo,

as far as I know, you can not directly thrpugh JS to a remote DB. I did write something how I do it in this post.
