Question

I want to create an android application that can run SQL Query to my SQL Server Database.
Here is my basic idea:

1. I create an android application with 1 textbox and 1 button.
2. Users can write the query that they want (e.g. INSERT INTO..,
   UPDATE.., DELETE.., or EXEC [store procedure]) in the textbox.
3. Then users press the button to execute that query to run in my SQL
   Server Database.

What I’ve made so far is an Android Application using phonegap + jQuery Mobile and I can get some data from my WCF Service with JSON that connect to my SQL Server, but now I want to run some query that I write from android application and run it to my database. Is it possible? Can you tell me the recommendation tutorials? Thanks 🙂

Answer 1

It can be done.

1. Create an Android application with an EditText and a Button.

2. Users can type the query to run (e.g. INSERT INTO.., UPDATE.., DELETE.., or EXEC [store procedure]) into the EditText.

You could do this like below to make it more user friendly.

1. Give users some options for Insert/Update/Delete via buttons.

2. Add a Spinner with all the table names.

3. If the user select a table name, show some _EditText_s for all the columns you need to get a value from the user.

Also you can make separate methods to call accordingly, with required inputs. It will be less complex more user friendly.

I don’t know if it Is makes any sense.
