Hi,
we are looking for build an mobile/web interfaces for our management software. The software in this moment it's only a desktop application, based on VFP language, and on a database (ms sql or mysql).
We don't want rewrite all software for web/mobile, but only an interfaces for read some data.
We read about Appery.io provides back-end services, and found this information http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b..., but we don't understand if we can put data from our desktop software in Appery.io Db (without users interaction, and, if it'possible, how we can do this...)

Thanks for attentions

Hi,

Using the API described in the document you specified, you can implement work with our backend for adding entries to the collection at one or creating the desired CSV or JSON-files only once manually load the data into our database. Software interface to import or export large amounts of data is not provided.

Do you want to regularly import large volumes of records to the database?
We don't have the information of the possibility to implement such an API.

Maybe you just want a one time import your data via the web interface form and then your application will run in standard mode of individual queries.

If you still need an interface for importing data programmatically and you plan to do this regularly then perhaps you need Enterprise plan where this is possible to implement specific features.

Thanks again (replay are very clear and complete)
Off course, first time we need to import all data in Appery.io DB, after, from mobile and destop software we need to manage data (create, update, delete and query)

But, desktop software need to manage record, so without odbc connection or socket connection, we can't...
