Sqlite

[Osteel]

Hey everyone,

A few of us are working on a Flash program that requires a database that can stand alone, in that if we give the program to someone, they can run it on their computer, save and load all through the database.

It was suggested to me to try Sqlite but I just wanted to know if it's recommended by other people, or if there is another mobile database program out there that is capable with Flash.

Thanks alot.

yeah, ive never used sqlite before, but its basically a database in a flat file. which means its standalone and doesnt need a server. i dont know of anything else. i also dont know of any way to exactly have flash directly use it. as far as i know, you can only use it with php or some other serverside language. you might want to look into sqlite.

Hi,

awhile ago I wasfaced with the problem of making something standalone, and one of the design goals was multi platform support.
I ended up with a mini server written in perl, offering a cgi style environment for the application scripts. Perl is a straightforward download and install for old and new windows systems, is available for installation on the mac cd, andis already installed on linux. Now, if sqlite for perl is also readily available (I dont know but would expect it), it could be used in this kind of setup
