It was a fixed length file format. It had a header that ended in an eof,
followed by lines that were in length the sum total of all the columns +1. The
+1 was the deleted flag at the beginning of the record. There were no variable
length columns. Everything was padded with spaces. Even numerica
Peter,
then you should probably stay away from any of the NoSQL engines, lol.
Many of the features you mention are part of many modern DBMS's, but not
all. I'm still nursing a DBMS that is well over 30 years old and it is
most certainly not ACID compliant, and it does not provide for data
integri
Hmmm, I'm afraid I have to disagree with almost all of that :-)
Arrays, cards, csv files, spreadsheets - none of them are databases other
than in the sense that they store data. They have no structure, no data
integrity enforcement, no inter table relatioships, no ACID compliance, nor
any of the o
Hi, Dan. The following info will hopefully help, or at least give you
some ideas. I wrote a 'draw something' style app at the beginning of
the year and although it's never been released, it's delivered thousands
of push notifications on the test service. The scripts run on an on-rev
server.
If you've ever used an array or set up a background so that you can store
records in a stack, you have used a database. I'm sure you already know
that. If you've ever used a spreadsheet, you have used a database. If you
have ever created a delimited file to store data, you have used a database.
Hi Mike,
I guess I've just never dug deep enough into databases... so they aren't quite
"stupid-easy" for me, yet...
If I have readily available hosting on a LAMP server, and some basic network
communication skills, can you (or anyone else here) suggest a specific LC
database library to help me
Databases are so stupid-easy that I am using a DB. I've tried both an
angry hard-core DBMS and LC connected to . Both work great. If
you are scared of/inexperienced with databases, then there are several LC
database libraries that will make that problem go away.
I think you guys are overthinkin
I am also interested in how others are accomplishing this. Like Dan,
I think I am over-thinking this whole procedure and it is probably
more simple than I am making it out to be.

Mike,
THANK YOU for the information. I am wondering what you use to log the Tokens?
Do you have the app fire a PHP script on your server that writes it down? What
are you using to store the data? Flat files, like XML? Or a database?
Thanks for the advise!

The other thing is that by "server" we're not talking about an expensive
piece of gear. A cheapo PC will do it unless you are slamming tons of
messages and volume through the pipe then you may want to consider either
using a) Urban Airship or b) a little more infrastructure on your end.

Nope, you aren't crazy. There is a reason you have to do this - because
you have to know who wants to receive push and who does not - and since
different users may have different settings, you need to be able to
customize those messages.
Think about a weather app that uses push - the users are fr
Question: How are you saving Device Tokens?
I am working on adding Push Notifications to my app. I am able to create, send
and receive the push notification (as a test) without issue. However, I can
see that I am going to have to store the Device Tokens of all that use my app –
thousands, pot
