Gecoh - A Windows Mobile repository/package installer

I'll just download the file and interpret it onboard then. It will allow anyone to host a repository list (i.e. the XDA devs repository, the Modaco repository...)

I only have to find a database editing tool now.

Don't forget to send your apps, it's free!

[Mr_Gee]

in that case you need someone to update the "master" file
the user would download that and have all the entries...
why?
having several DB's is not a good option IMHO

If your using firefor you can get an SQLite manager, works pretty well,
also Erel made an SQLite application, it's somewhere on this forum

There will be one master file, but in case someone wants to start its own list, he might make one and then host it. XDA-Developers will probably make one for themselves.

Gotta go, I'll provide details tonight!
Have a good day!

What is the file type for an offline database? That's exactly what I'd need but I can't find any information about it. The .sl3 file in the sample seems to exist only in the sample! There's no info about FL3 files on google

[Mr_Gee]

There is no extention....
have you checked the Manila files, most of them are SQLite DB's

you can use any extention you want
I think in the example the use northwind.sl3, if the file doesn't exist it will be created.. but i'm nopt sure
why don't you give that a go.

Alternatively get the FF plugin I mentioned you can create DB's with that one once created you can copy paste it in your AppPath

I managed to create and use my own SQL DB so things are going extremely well!

Feel free to submit your applications people.

[Mr_Gee]

SInce you are going with multiple DB's I'm assuming you
will also have a txt file where the user can enter his/her repositories
(the url of the different DB's)

[N1c0_ds]

Oh but I understand now!

I even loaded a table with it. I also got the search function completed (fixed case insensitive search).

What I love with SQL is that it can get, say, the entries 101-111 and show them. I'll use this with a scrollbox (more like a finger box actually) and 10 labels so it looks great and doesn't take an awful time to load.

I'll be back tonight with more details, thanks an awful lot for your help!

If you need SQL/PHP help, give me a buzz: it's what I do for a living

[N1c0_ds]

Thanks Girvo!

I got it going pretty well.

As for making the databases, I use LoadCSV and then move that table to an SQL file. It works well!
