I am creating an iPhone application using xcode 4.2. I have a local SQLite database that I have created and it works fine on the simulator.
I want to move this database to a remote server so that others with this application can access the data and it can be updated.
Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this? Or point me in the direction of some good tutorials?
I am pretty new to the whole iPhone programming so any help would be appreciated.

If you mean you want to "serve" the database from a remote host, vs having the DB resident on the phone, the best way to do this is with a REST protocol between phone and server.

can anyone please provide some information like how to connect my iPhone app to the local sql server 2005. I tried searching in google but i was not able to find a solution, any url or link will be very useful.
Thanks in Advance.
one thing that you can not directly connect your iphone app to any data base except sqlite for other data base you have to create a webservice and can communicate to database whatever it may be hope this helps
Hi I am a student with little knowledge about iPhone application and its database.
However, I am tasked to develop an iPhone application for a company. This application must require users to do registering as member and reflecting their member points.
Currently, the company is using MySQL as their database for their current ongoing. Whereas, after the implementation of the iPhone application which database should I use?
I am aware that iPhone only supports SQLite but how can I fetch the data from their current MySQL and make a linkage so it would be centralized and not having 2 individual database?
It sounds like your bosses threw you into very deep water without knowing how to swim, first.
There are a number of ways to answer your question, and I found a few related questions on various sites that might help you.

You might want to start with just writing a small, non-database-using iPhone app to start with and then once you get the hang of it, then reach out into wild world of talking to remote databases.
hope this helps!
I am working on an iOS app and have been stumped for the last few days trying to figure out how to set up a server to receive and serve data to the app. I have no experience with servers, which is making it difficult. I need to simply be able to upload and download NSData or plists (XML files). I looked into Google App Engine but got stumped.
Could anyone provide some direction? I would truly appreciate it. This is the last major obstacle to completing the app I am working on.
Thank you
I would recommend looking into Amazon S3. It is a simple file server that uses HTTP. Can't get much simpler than that, and does not require you to build anything server side.
How do you suggest to a noob (in Obj c and ROR haha, I got some apps on both going but not very complex..)
to go about getting my next project to synchronise,
I have an app in the iphone that uses coredata to store the info (using one to many relationship), working,
but I need to sync it to a ROR web app, so the user can send data from iphone to ROR and viceverza, and that if the user is offline (not connected to server,) when goes back again online, the data created or modified can be updated to or from the server,,,
I've checked the objective resource group, but to my dismay, is still a bit difficult (I have it running connected to the server but not stand alone)
what other option can I use?
is there a project that is on to this?? (high hopes!!)
thank you so much!
Try RestKit, it supports integration of Rails, Core Data and Three20, It hase many other features. A nice tutorial can be found here.
I am in iPhone Application Development since last few months only..
So, I have working with some applications, and in all of the applications i used to follow the SOAP web service methods to get the data in my applications.
I have heard something on SQLite, but have lots of confusion regarding important of it.
So, if anybody can explain or just give me a hint regarding on SQLite will highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
SQLite is a database if you want to have data stored you can use it. You use web service because the data is not stored locally. SQLite allows you to store data locally.

In a nutshell SQLite is a library used to provide local database access to your iPhone app.
