I have a few questions regarding sql server in android.

Essentially, I am tring to create an app that communicates to a SQL server, runs queries, creates new tables, rows, etc. I have been doing a lot of research recently about getting a connection to a SQL server in android. I’ve seen the tutorial on using a php file and it seems that isn’t quite what I am looking for.

My questions:

  1. Is it possible to create an app like the one I described above?
  2. Do I need to do it using a php file? (like the tutorials)
  3. Is there another way to do what I am looking to do?
  4. Should I create a webservice to do the database portion of it? If so, are there any tutorials out there about that?

I apologize for my noob-y questions. Thanks for your help

    You should definitely create a webservice, because otherwise any malicious user who has access to your app (downloads it) could easily trash your DB. But allowing insertion and creation privileges to users seems like a bad idea already.

    If your users need a personal db, why don’t you use sqlite which is stored locally and has no access delays, and no internet connection requirements? Why do you want a single db that is completely exposed to everyone?
