Which database to use for flex standalone application?

Question

I am planning to develop a standalone application, which infact will be used for personal purposes. So only single user access may be there. I want to develop it in Flex. Just want some opinions from the gurus over here :

1. Whether i should use Flex or AIR (I know only Flex, AIR i need to start learning)
2. Which database i should use? SQLLite or HSQLDB or some other.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Happy Coding

Answer 1

For a standalone application you will need to use Air, FLEX is a framework so you can use it into your Air application.

Air come with SQLLite ready to use, if you dont want to use SQLLite you will have to find a way to communicate with your database : a gateway server (php, java, ...) or found a ready to use socket driver, or write it yourself.

Edit: Here a starter page where you can found for example Air sample and tutorial

In this one, an example of using an SQLite database. You can download the code of the sample application
