Question

I am making an iPhone application and Website simultaneously and I want a shared database between the two. I know about some of the options although none of them seem to work perfectly. Like Core Data which will be very nice on the iPhone side, although I havent found a way to access the same information in something other than Obj-c. SQLite is another option, I might not be right, but it supposedly does not work well for servers and being accessed simultaneously from different places. Or I could do XML which seems easy on both sides but it seems like thats the slowest option and will have a huge drag on performance if im going to be reading it from a server all the time.

Any help would be appreciated, and if you know of any other solutions I will be glad to give them a try.
Thanks in advance,
Jordan

Answer 1

Have you thought of using a MySQL backend on your server, and then providing your mobile application with an API?

This takes the hassle out of data synchronisation and also provides you with a good level of sustainability and scalability.

I hope this helps.
