Re: devcon 2022 recap

Well I downloaded the Appli app. The starting level is $45 / month, and storage is pretty sparse, which I can pay more for later. Doesn't look cost effective for me when I could just create my own web portal. Bob S > On Apr 28, 2022, at 13:58 , Richard Gaskin via use-livecode > wrote: > >

Re: devcon 2022 recap

Richard, I've been pounding the pulpit on this one for some time. Besides the default datagrid behavior, I have a whole library of handlers that I use for my datagrids that I need to access. To do this, I need my library to be inserted *between* the datagrid and the default behavior. This is not

That looked really interesing to me. The ability to create a no code web app was especially intriguing. I was not able to find the app on the Apple Store though. Where do I get the 45 day demo?? Bob S > On Apr 28, 2022, at 12:02 , Mike Kerner via use-livecode > wrote: > > * The whole low-co

Re: Advantages of Memory based sqLite databases

So I tested this when I got in the shop this morning. The memory database is roughly 450:1 over an sqLite database on the LAN. That is incredibly significant, if the goal is to start with a certain dataset, then query it over and over. Bob S > On Apr 21, 2022, at 19:52 , Bob Sneidar via

Re: Advantages of Memory based sqLite databases

I made a client server proof of concept which encrypted messages before sending and decrypted them on the other end. The upshot was that I can send an encrypted query string from the client to the server, the server which handles the database connection stuff performs the query, then returns the

Advantages of Memory based sqLite databases

Hi all. Just an exercise in semi-futility here. I was curious about the actual difference in performance between querying a memory based sqLite database, as opposed to querying a mySQL database over a slow (iPhone hotspot) connection. I expected it to be significant, but HOW significant I had
