I have an application that has login screen and it will get user name and password first then whenever application will start, username and password will be checked from data base and after that i need some data to be fetched from database and display in iphone application. So how to integrate mysql data base with iphone app?
you can go through the tutorial for this
raywenderlich provided a great tutorial for this.
Check this
http://dblog.com.au/iphone-development-tutorials/iphone-sdk-tutorial-reading-data-from-a-sqlite-database/
tutorial for connectivity with sqlite.
You will not be able to connect to MySQL directly from the iPhone. You must use some intermediate layer such as a Web application with PHP.
So, you will have something like this:
iPhone POSTING a request to the WebServer using HTTP Web Server connecting to the MySQL database Web Server returning data to the iPhone (XML, plain text) iPhone processing the data You can use this technique to query and insert/update/delete data.
Once i found this library

for mysql, and i dont aware how it works.

How to connect pouchDB with ionic framework.
Please suggest me.
Within mobile apps, it's best practise not to directly connect your phone to the database. This creates a lot more data traffic, which you don't want on a mobile device.
Best practise is creating a rest api which returns the data you want from the database to your app. Most of the time this is a php page, which you can call from within the app with a html request, and then returns the data from the database as JSON.
However, if you really want to use SQLite, you can use sql.js.
I want to create such a application in which my iPhone will have the UI for entering the data for the employees. After clicking on the post button data should be saved on the sqlite database and I also want to retrieve the data on button click from the database. I want to use node.js for communicating between my iOS app and the database. Since I have never used node.js before, please give me some links where I can study the sample applications.
I am not an iOS developer but I would make a REST service in Node.js that can sit between your Iphone app and your database. You most likely are going to want to have some form of authentication on the service.
Also does it have to be sqlite? There are databases that can understand HTTP. If you use CouchDB (there are others) you can let your app talk directly to your database. That means you can leave out Node.js completely. You can go even further and use a service that will provide a back-end for you. Something like parse.com (there are others) will do this for you.
I own a JSP website for listing books stored in my own database in the same website. I'm planning to develop an iPhone app to access this database and display book list and book details.
My questions are:
If I have to use web services, where
should I start to develop these web
services using eclipse.
How to access these data and display
them in a list.
I want to cache data extracted and
store it locally in iPhone, so when
no Internet connectivity available
the user can view these data
offline. Is there a database engine
embedded in iPhone to sotre such
relational data.
Thanks you all,
Develop the webservice with what you know. PHP, Python, asp.net, java.
Access the data using HTTP GET POST methods. Many application are using the json-framework.
iPhone as the sqlite3 database embed in it operating system. You can find plenty of tutorial on the internet.
1 & 2 Define the services you are going to provided from you website, choose a web service protocol, JSON is generally easy to use, so does xmlrpc.
3 Use core data to cache it locally, if no internet connection, you can fetch the data from core data
i simply want to make an iphone application with a remote database. For exemple facebook iphone application, they have all access to a huge database. Are they using Mysql ? Because i heard that mysql is not secure through iphone and app store may reject it. Can someone help me figure out whats the best to use.
What all those apps are probably using is a RESTful web service endpoint that is in turn backed by a large database. There are a lot of libraries for creating web services regarding of what application stack you're using.
If you're using MySQL, you'd write a Python/Ruby/Whatever-you-choose backend component which actually connects to a MySQL instance, then reformat the results as a web-service endpoint. SOAP can work if need be, or (in my opinion) a better option would be to write a simple JSON service that your iPhone app can parse. There are lots of JSON/WS iOS libraries that are a google query away.
Apple will not be bothered what database you are use remotely (will be accessed through defined API's).
I am currently working on an iPhone app that will have a user log in, enter a workorder or building, and the app will display workorder/building information. The user will then be able to edit some of the data and submit it to the server. The backend database is a MySQL server. What is the best web service to use for this situation? I've been reading about SOAP, JSON, etc. but I honestly haven't found a good description of the pros/cons of each and how well they work with an iPhone app. Any and all help (or links to useful reading) would be greatly appreciated!
Ruby On Rails or PHP is your best bet for the web services layer that goes between the phone and the MySQL and go for JSON as that is the most commonly IPhone Web service data format as it is the one that requires the least amount of data upload by the phone. Touch JSON is commonly used IPhone framework for this.The RoR or PHP web services layer serves up JSON data based on URL requests by the IPhone. There's loads of stuff on this if you google which I did when faced with a similar problem.
