Hi!

I have read the Dropbox tutorial and i had an idea...
can i upload & download a DB-file from the dropbox account instead of using MySQL?
i mean that if i have a program that using SQLite and now i want the database to be in online-state, can i use dropbox (assuming i have an account) to replace the DB-file every time it changed? what about the security risks?...

Thank you very much!
Gal

Bad idea, how you are going to cotrol multiple access?¿

The normal way is:

a) using a local db file in the path of the app
b) use mysql and php to getting works

can you tell me with what should i start?
Ive been using VB for years, i realy dont know nothing about php and online databases (you can see that my idea tried to pass that...). Thanks!

You can also consider Parse.com as an alternative to a remote database: Parse library (beta) - simple backend solution - Page 2
