Question

My iPhone app is required to work offline, so I need te retrieve the db from the server into the devise.
The database contains about 10 tables with a few dozen lines each.
What is the recommended way for doing so?
Is it the sqlite3?if so, how can I build the sqlite tables from the DB?

Thanks,
Asaf

You have multiple options:

• download a sqlite database file from webserver, store it in your app’s document or temp folder
• create the database and tables dynamically by code, set up an XML or JSON interface on your webserver, download the data from web and insert to the new database

Take a look here for a beginning with SQLite on iOS.

And yes, it is sqlite3 on iOS.
