Hello All,
I have an odd question. I play a game called Shadowfist, it's a collectable card game like Magic the gathering, or Pokemon.anyway. One of the sites that I visit has a 4 mb file that contains all of the card info, in an SQL file. He has made the SQL file freely downloadable, so that we can use it as we see fit.ok. Here is where it gets interesting. I am not a programmer, I do
know a little about databases and such, but the basic thing I want is to be able to access the data from that SQL file on my palm. I have a Clie, with a memory stick so the size is not a major concern, and since this is a static database, I do not need the ability to add more data to it from the palm side. I also don't need to be able to sync it to any form of external database as the info is pretty much static. Any idea's on how I can simply view, and maybe search and sort this file on my palm easily? If you are the
slightest bit interested in helping, the file and its online interface can be viewed from the site http://www.shadowfisthub.com it's the card database and deck database.
I guess since I am not a programmer, I may not know just how complex the task is.but it seems to me that the hard part is already done. The info has been entered and it is in sql format. Please, let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanx folks.. and take care.
