Re: [Dataperf] Android database

[Michael Iannantuoni]

Hi Bruce, Although I am using the DOSBox Turbo and Hacker's Keyboard option to view my DP database on my phone, I have had a play with your demos and can see that it might, in the long run, be a better option. I have an old version of Serif WebPlus(X6) so will, when I have some spare time (!), explore further and get back to you if I get stuck if that is OK with you. Thanks again.

Michael, here is a very brief demo to let you see what is involved in using DP to generate HTML pages https://b1conrad.github.io/dp-html/ . This shows how to produce a very bare-bones page that contains the data from one panel, with one paragraph per record. Just looked at the result on my phone and it's readable ( https://b1conrad.github.io/dp-html/DEMO.HTM ) although not at all pretty. If this is the kind of thing you need, I'll be happy to be your coach and mentor as you go through the learning curve.

I would only need to browse the data and not update anything on the phone but would like to do look-ups, or something similar, from more than one field.

This is what I would do, assuming by "access" you mean read-only on the Android, with infrequent updates. Write a report in the database to produce an HTML presentation, which would likely consist of many web pages, one per venue perhaps, and also a "home" page with links to the various venue pages. From your phone, using the in-built browser, visit the home page and from click on link/button of the venue you need to see. If you have staff at a database computer, you can have them run the report whenever important changes are made to the database panels. If this overall scenario works in your case, I can help you flesh out the process (as there is a missing link or two).

Sales is linked to Venue/Date by venue & date and to Titles by a reference number. I sometimes need to access this information on my somewhat aged smartphone while out & about at craft fairs but know nothing of Android databases. Failing an Android version of DataPerfect, can anyone suggest a suitable database please.
