Thoughts? Great stuff, btw. And I'm VERY impressed with the development tools and skill set you folks have at SurgeWorks. Kind regards, John Per your discussion above on using Menial and/or CoreData Managed Objects in setting up a SQLite database, do you suggest I use Menial to create the tables, relationship et. al, and to populate the database with the data I want to display, or should I use CoreData to create the schema and then somehow (perhaps you can explain) attach to the data that I put into the database using Menial?

Thoughts?

Great stuff, btw. And I’m VERY impressed with the development tools and skill set you folks have at SurgeWorks.

So if it work in the simulator, it will work on the device too. If you haven't implemented too much of your data logic yet, you might want to consider using CoreData. It provides an easy (visual) way to define your models and you can chose the backed storage method from SQLite, XML or binary files. Regarding the remote server, if you want to push data from the device to the server, you will need a database on the server and some sort of webservice (you can create it using RubyOnRails or PHP) to write to the database.

The best option which I thought was using SQLite. I would like to know the steps for adding the sqlite database to the iphone, as its working fine on the simulator. Similarly I would like to transfer the same data to remote server. Whats the best option for the second process. Regards, CP Kataray. Dear all,

I am creating an iPhone application, I need to store the details in the iPhone. The best option which I thought was using SQLite.

I would like to know the steps for adding the sqlite database to the iphone, as its working fine on the simulator.

Similarly I would like to transfer the same data to remote server. Whats the best option for the second process.
