I have an app with a database full of information. The user never changes or adds anything to this database. I would like to update the database myself and store it on the web. Then everytime the app loads, it will check the web for a new version. If there is one, it would simply download it and replace it. What is the best way of doing this?
Someone else will have to tell ya the best way to initiate the actual download, but this blog post may be helpful in figuring out how to install the database once downloaded.
Also, you may find this question I posted earlier useful in determining database versions, basically I’m just parsing the file name to determine version. I’m sure there’s an easier way for you though if you’re communicating with a server.
