The Ultimate Business Machine - ArchivesList of Categories : Database * Technology * Commentary * Singapore * Travel * Thu 02 Feb 2006 Luca and MySQLCategory : Technology/LucaMySQL.txt Hai Hwee's been pretty busy herself these last two weeks. She's got a Universal Binary version of her SQLite Cocoa framework, as well as one now for MySQL. With these, she's able to build a Universal Binary version of Luca Accounting, that will support both MySQL and SQLite databases. What we're trying to do is this : the user starts off using Luca, and entering his accounting data, with the built-in SQLite database. Then when he needs a faster, more scaleable database, with multi-user, concurrent access capabilities, he can go to Luca Preferences, point Luca towards MySQL, wherever he has installed it, and give Luca the rights to create the accounting database, populating it from the SQLite database. Hai Hwee's got the hard part done - building Universal versions of the database access frameworks, as well as an architecture that will allow us to plug in support for other databases, like PostgreSQL, when we learn how to do them. The next thing to do is build the user interface for switching between the databases. If we're still working with 4th Dimension, we would now be able to build our own database plug-ins for 4D. We used to pay a lot of money for things like 4D for Oracle. We've learnt a lot since moving to OS X. |
