Commercial Aplications

[parsec]

Does anybody know of any comercial grade apllications that LiveCode had been used as a tool of choice? Not games but rather database driven aplications, web aplications of anykind etc.
thank you

I've got two that are weeks away from being ready to go. One is a video training app, the other is a port of an existing app that let's cake makers create & store recipes and create quotes for clients.

I've done a commercially shipping educational product that provides courseware for universities in many different fields of study. It replaces textbooks and contains self-tests, review materials, grade book tracking, and an interface for instructors to monitor student progess and assign grades. It runs on an Amazon services back end.

Another project provides a customer satisfaction survey on iPads to be used in flight by cabin attendants for an airline in Australia. It uploads results to a database after the plane lands.

Another project (not sure if it's still supported but it was sold for some years) was a commercial package for professional inventory specialists. It provided a database of all items in a home or business, images, their value, depreciation information, various sorting and evaluation totals, and so forth for insurance purposes.

In progress is an Android app that notifies staff in group homes when it's time to submit client reports at user-defined intervals. Reports are customized per client and compilations are sent to the administrative office daily over an Internet connection. This is projected to be a commercial product when completed.

All my client work over the last many years has been for projects that provide utility for a specific need. Since most were not for sale to the public I'm not sure if they meet your criteria, but none were games. For example, I recently finished touching up an app that tracks locations of junked cars in a huge junkyard so that machine operators could find them for relocation or disassembly. I've got dozens and dozens of in-house projects like that.

And if free apps still count as commercial, the most recent project is a mobile app for a Hindu monastery. It displays images and quotations from the monastery's guru and allows sharing via email (and soon twitter and Facebook.) It's distributed in both the Google play store and Apple's app store.

Does anyone know if there is a sample database application available with source code, paid or free?

It would be handy to have a real simple starter app that shows how to:

• * Add or edit or delete a record
  * Go Next/Previous/First/Last
  * List
  * Etc.

Something like a "Contacts" application with people's names, addresses and phone numbers.
It would be useful to have something that shows the basic database techniques: Now to add a new person, how to find someone by their telephone number, how to see all people in Boston, etc.

Some of that is covered in the SQLite tutorial included in the install - click "Resources" in the toolbar, then in the Resources window see Tutorials -> Databases -> SQLite.

More Lessons on using databases in LiveCode can be found by searching for "database" on the LiveCode Lessons page:

Some of what you've asked for is specific to SQL, and you'll find countless tutorials on SQL around the web. W3Scools can be a good place to start:

this is will be relatvly easy to do with LiveCode. Let it be know that you will not be able to browse the DB table direcley from LC and you will have to use other tools to browse the tables in the DB that you are working with as this is a lowpoing to this tool and manualy with copy and paste you will have to adress this issue. I am considering investing a supstinial amount of funds for a comercial application that heavely relies on a DB it appears that can only connecto to MSSQL via an ODBC driver that will slow the aplication and will not fully take advange of the native server conections unless you use another server.
any way for me here is a good ex tha has all the things that you want

Thanks for comments so far.

Pity the Book-Library example gives an error after an Edit: "Sorry there was a problem updating that book".
