External Data

[RabbitFactoryUK]

Hi All

Ok so I'm pretty new to this iPhone development thing and I have a couple of questions relating to external data.

Ok, So, say for example I have a website listing, erm say, Websites. The data on the Website is stored in a SQL database and uses PHP to grab this information and display it on the webpage.

What I would like to do is basically if the user on the iPhone has internet access, check query the external database to check if there is any new/edited or deleted records. If there has been then update the information stored within the iPhone app.

What would be the best storage method to use?
How would I be able to essentially sync the database with the iPhone?

If any of you know of any good detailed tutorials to help me along, that would be great.

Thanks in Advance

Chris

well, you could do SQLite. I would suggest you get the Date the website was added/edit to the external database, and then just compare the websites gotten from the external with the ones on the phone using the last sync date from the phone.
