iPhone for the Enterprise

Category : Commentary/iPhoneForTheEnterprise.txt

Out of curiosity, I was wondering if I could embed our SQL frameworks into an iPhone application and use that to access a SQLite database, or a MySQL or PostgreSQL database anywhere on the Internet.

I'm glad to say it all worked beautifully. Here's a demo iPhone app accessing our (live, production) MySQL database across the Internet, basically re-using the SQL frameworks (shown in the red box below) that we had built for Luca:

What it means is that we can do version of Luca for the iPhone, if that makes sense. Or any number of database-centred, enterprise-friendly applications.

Just imagine the possibilities...
