I agree with using the follow. MySQL/MariaDB with php serverside Or MS SQL with ASP.Net serverside.
Concept being running a webserver that has php/asp.net as the scripted middle man. Your application makes a http/https call to the web page. The php/asp.net deals with any user security and then retrieves the requested info from the database. It returns the data as part of the server response. There are also other solutions such as running other server side apps java/cf/... -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Tintin [mailto:1955.mille.mig...@googlemail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 2:44 AM To: users@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: Simple Database Architecture Suggestions Please Thanks Scott for your thoughts. Searching the web I am surprised how little there is on connecting a Flex application to a database. I thought it would be a very well trodden path. There are plenty of articles from 6 years ago or so but very little contemporary support. One option appears to be to create a relational XML database and keep it very simple with no server requirements at all. PHP and MySQL appears to be an option and possibly MongoDB which you suggest. Can anyone else suggest a really good relational database for connecting a Flex application to? -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Simple-Database-Architecture-Suggestions-Please-tp7726p7764.html Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
