Re: ODBC and Mobile Devices

Well, yeah, you can use a text file...but even for a single table db it is so easy to call "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id = 234" than to manually parse a text file. Also SQLite supports BLOB data easily, a text file would require encoding any binary data manually. To be honest, I am interested in e...

Re: ODBC and Mobile Devices

Will externals be supported in the Android and Mindows Mobile releases at the same time as iOS? Easy local data storage is a MUST.

Re: Version Control

You're preaching to the choir when it comes to modular software design. However, I'm very new when it comes to runrev...having only really played with it in my 'free' time. It is not obvious to me how you split a project up into multiple stacks and actually save them separately. Unfortunately, googl...

Re: Version Control

I would prefer a system agnostic approach (not everyone uses subversion). Frankly, the rev project needs to be broken up into smaller components as well. Otherwise multiple programmers can't easily work on different parts simultaneously. If I were at rev, this sort of thing would be HIGH on my list ...

Re: Version Control

Thanks for the suggestion. I suppose that approach would be a good start to a rev plugin that could be used to generate "source files"....I need to ponder that. Believe me, I feel your pain wrt version control integration. But diffing and checking in/out parts of a stack isn't that difficult. If you...

Re: Version Control

If I knew the structure of the .rev file, I could break out the internals independently and commit them to subversion. Then, I could diff the non-binary parts with whatever tool I like. It seems this is a major stumbling block to rev getting traction in too many large scale products. Even REALBasic ...

Re: Version Control

It's not a question of team size. It's a question of being able to see the code differences between various versions. If a bug shows up in a certain feature, it sure is nice (ie. imperative) to be able to go back and see what has changed since that feature worked. I would like to use subversion...wh...

Version Control

I have Googled and searched the runrev site and forums with no avail :( . Is there no way to save a runrev project in a version control friendly format. That's a really big problem for projects of any size.

Thanks.
