Valentina for iPhone - Discussion.

[Jochen Peters]

Hi guys!


> I wonder what you guys think about this direction?

Yes - of course. There are several benefits - and we don not have to
consider only the obvious user benefits - there is also a benefit in
becoming more popular - at least more people knows that there is another
database called Valentina...(if we do it the right way)

Yes - technical this is the base we will need - at least 1)

No - i do not think that the iphone will become the storage device for
large amount of data! In fact on iPhone we use smaller db's - maybe
subsets of bigger ones on some central server...

Speed always matters...

Yes - absolutly agree!
LATER we will need syncing (see above) - but first of all we can start
in theses steps:

1) libclient only
2) simple and nice admin for Valentina Servers
3) simple SQL queries

later we can have:
- Forms (maybe they can be developed by vStudio and then pushed to iPhone)
- Syncing
- Reports

My feeling is that we MUST provide something! At least a simple Valentina
Server Admin app - to show people that Valentina is "ahead of the curve.."
