Using Mobile@Connector for creating mobile applications starting from an existing database:
The user selects a database
Mobile@Connector displays the database objects (tables, views)
The user selects the objects to be included in the application
Mobile@Connector analyzes the metadata structure, fields properties, etc., and uses it for creating:
the metadata structure of the mobile application
rough form design
proper data validation
rough navigation structure
The user modifies/refines the definition, and extends it with additional elements, like business logic, by using built-in wizards - no programming
After the definition is ready, the user starts the installation process - Mobile@Connector creates an application using the definition, and installs it on the server fully automatically
The user connects his device to the given server address using any kind of connection
Mobile@Connector automatically deploys the local part of the application to the user's device
IMPORTANT
Two approaches are possible:
Direct access to a database
Mobile@Connector has to be installed in the same LAN as the database)
Remote access to a database. In such cases Mobile@Connector can access a database even if installed in another location. It makes possible offering it as service:
The database is installed on the customers location
Mobile@Connector supports also so called "adapters concept" which enables creating mobile counterparts of existing "large" (= not mobile) applications in minutes, fully automatic. See more
