Hi All!
I have a little project that is using SQLite to save user data.
Essentially, each user has their own table created in the database
and it saves records consisting of text content in mutiple fields in
each record. The idea was in a school situation, where multiple
students using the same computer, I could have different users use
the same app and have access to just their data. This seems to work
quite well, and it doesn't require a constant network connection.
this might work better if you have only 2 tables instead of having a
separate table for each user: one table with a list of users and
another linked to it 1:N with actual records with user data. No fuss
with creating and deleting tables.
I was thinking I could query the local database (sqlite) save it,
then do the same on the mysql database in the cloud (on-rev).
However it would seem to be pretty complex; query the mysql db for
the existence of the user table, if not present, create the table
and import all the data into a duplicate database on mysql or if it
is present, update those records with matching ids and create new
records for those records that were not a match.
If you consider using mysql as means of transfer, why not use it to
actually store all data and keep it simple. No fuss with exports,
imports, syncing, etc.
