Daybed's built in local storage system is the save stack, works well on all platforms. I am actually fiddling around with using SQLite as a save file as well, just haven't had a lot of free time. You can set things to sync whenever possible rather easily as well. CouchDB does have a local save and

Hello Andre, Mobile Couchbase is a slimmed down small as possible version of CouchBase. It is still written in Erlang. And it still based on Apache CouchDB. I think they are much more like different distros of the same application, then they are different applications. Again, I don't really c

Todd, You are mixing CouchDB Server with Mobile Couchbase. Mobile Couchbase ( http://www.couchbase.com/products-and-services/mobile-couchbase ) is a product that will basically synchronizes your data on your device, it is not a full featured CouchDB server but hey, mobile couchbase is a wonderful

Thanks again for more responses But my interest in couchDB is about getting a database with built in world class synchronization. If it can be embedded in iOS apps and Android apps why can't it be embedded in LiveCode apps. Thanks Todd On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 2:07 PM, Ruslan Zasukhin < ruslan

Todd, You should not try to bundle CouchDB. CouchDB relies on Erlang OTB and friends, it is not something like SQLite that you can embed. If you want some embedable solution look at Googles LiveTable thing or some other key/value store but even so, those embedable solutions will not present you w

Thanks for the responses. I believe there already is a JSON library in Live Code. So that isn't the main issue to me. The main issue is how to get CouchDB bundled into a standalone that runs on Desktops and Mobile devices. That is the part that I have no idea how to do. I am not even sure if i

Todd, CouchDB (or Mongo, Riak, and other NoSQL alternatives) are excellent databases in the right situation. I haven't used on with LC, but have used CouchDB plenty. Their main benefits lie in A) no schema and B) replication. If you have no need of either, then it might be more work to get working

I don't think you can, directly. But if it has a way to access it via a shell, or if it is supported by ODBC then you can do it that way. Bob On May 13, 2011, at 6:53 AM, Todd Geist wrote: > Hello, > > I am curious if anyone has worked with CouchDB and live code? > > It has REST api so I kn
