FoneDB 2.3

FoneDB allows individuals to easily create, publish, and synchronize a wide range of personal databases for Smartphone devices. Best of all, no programming is required. Want to locate an Italian restaurant for a last-minute dinner with the in-laws? Need to keep track of expenses? FoneDB combines the power of instant access to data with the broad reach of mobile phones.
- Compatible with all Microsoft Windows-powered Smartphone devices
- Create forms with a flexible set of controls: labels, edit boxes, check boxes, drop-down lists, and Radio Buttons
- Format data as text, integer, floating point, or currency
- Use calculated fields (+, -, *, /) to find new values
- Quickly sort through data with filters
- Access data locally, no network connection required
- Synchronize data with your desktop PC
- Create read-only or modifiable applications
- No digital signing required
Creating FoneDB databases is easy. Forms are designed and maintained on a desktop computer. Simply specify the controls you need, such as edit box or drop-down list, and the types of data (e.g. text, integer). Records can be viewed or edited on either the desktop system or the Smartphone device.
Easy Synchronization
Once created, each FoneDB form is a compact application that can store and retrieve data locally without a network connection. The databases can be read-only or modifiable. After the data is collected, you can synchronize your Smartphone with your desktop PC. You can also read data from any ODBC-enabled database, including Microsoft Access, Sybase, or SQL Server. When working with ODBC-enabled applications, you can read or write data in a FoneDB database.
FoneDB applications are intuitive and simple-to-use. Data can be viewed in list mode (one line per record), view mode (single record, read-only), or edit mode (single record, read/write). Selection boxes can be manipulated intuitively with up/down and left/right buttons.
Quick and Easy Access to Data
FoneDBs calculated fields are a great time-saver. They allow you to automatically apply mathematical operations to values in fields. Operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (+, -, *, /). For instance, a 15% tip can be calculated based on an expense value.
Data can be searched and filter operations help you sort through large, cumbersome lists. These filters allow you to narrow your view of the data to just those records that meet particular criteria. For example, you can find only those records with invoices that are over $500. Or you can find the antique shows that will be in Boston during the month of April.
No Digital Signing Required
SYWARE is committed to simplifying the database development process through the use of intuitive tools and technologies. With FoneDB that means individual applications do not have to be digitally signed before they can be run on a Smartphone. This saves you the costly and time-consuming task of securing a digital signature before you deploy your FoneDB application.
In the download section you will also find:
Smartphone Expense Tracker - This is a sample expenses application created using FoneDB. To install this on your Smartphone, email FDBDEMO.cab to your Smartphone (as an attachment) and then open the attachment on your Smartphone.
The FoneDB Desktop Runtime System - The runtime system allows end-users to run FoneDB applications on any Windows-based desktop PC. It also inlcudes an ODBC driver which allows desktop ODBC enabled applications to access FoneDB databases. Create a great application, and then let users sample it on the desktop.
