This workshop: Explore an SQL database front end
We know how important database access is to many of our users, so we're
pleased to bring you this workshop focusing on how to get started with
Revolution's database capabilities.
By now, you've had an opportunity to use the world's easiest programming language to produce stunning multimedia, analyze text and access information on the Internet. With these skills you're well placed to process and present.
Many applications require accessing information stored in databases. Whether you're writing a desktop application to interact with a web service, a customer records database, a corporate employee information system or a web content management system the chances are you'll want to create or interact with a database.
Exploring Revolution: Work with Databases
Revolution allows you to access data stored in most databases and supports the industry standard Structured Query Language (SQL). Better yet, you can combine your data access with any look you choose: integrate rich media or blend with the OS. Your data application can be delivered as a native application on any platform Revolution supports.
In this workshop we show you how to create your own simple database front end. The example covers using etiher a local SQLite database, or a MySQL database located on a server. The techniques can easily be adapted to other SQL databases. You will learn how to display and update both text and binary data, as well as how to create a SQLite database by code.
