Project Idea

[mconniffe]

Im thinking of doing the following project for college and im looking for as much help as possible.
1. Im going to create a program for a palm top which will allow data to be entered into a database.
2. This info will then be uploaded to a central database.
3. Then create a program(GUI) to query this database.

*So im looking for tips on how to create programs for a palmtop - languages to use.
*How to create a database for the palmtop and a central database - again languages to use and any tutorials.
*How to create a suitable program for querying the database - again best languages to use.

I have good Java and C experience and I have also experience of using SQL.

What is the best way of hosting the central database aswell.

There is a good bit there so any help would be much appreciated thanks!

What OS do you plan to target ?
What is the method of uploading the data to the server ?
What is the GUI to query the db running on ( what OS )?

I plan on using windows as the OS for querying the DB.I was hoping to simply use a USB for uploading that the Palm top would be like an external hard drive

Looks to me that you are going to have the database in the central server. Obviously you have to have this in the server.

Then the better way to implement this app is to have the application that deals with create, update operations on the server itself. The palmtop aplication should only use the interface provided by this server app. This way you can keep the palmtop app as small as possible.

J2ME would be a good choice for palmtop.
