Hi all,
Am just getting familiar with liveCloud and was hoping for some guidance:
1. When creating a record (cdb_create) you specify a target of 'local' or 'cloud'. What is the best practice to ensure 'cloud' data is synced when internet access is interrupted and then restored? Does any cached data survive past quitting and restarting the app?
2. Is it possible to have a local db that syncs with the cloud rather than directly CRUD'ing from the cloud? Cloud access seems very slow (on free version in any case) and i wonder if this may be way to speed things up.
3. On that note, all example I've tried apps are really quite slow - it takes about 10 secs to load the sample app and sync data and in general any data manipulation seems to take relatively long time giving the impression of a hung app. I imagine this is largely for apps storing data in the cloud. Is there a better practice to speed up access?
I haven't yet actually used liveCloud in any projects (currently SQL based) but investigating this for LiveCode based apps - grateful for any advice/guidance,..
