Data in Jazz Apps

Local Database

A local database provides a number of capabilities:

  • it allows the user to operate disconnected from the internet.
  • it allows the user to archive data on OneDrive without using data on the Phone or PC, which makes the app faster and hopefully de-clutters the screen.
  • it allows the user to save private information locally (in the event that they share access to their OneDrive).

OneDrive

OneDrive is used for cloud storage.  It is crude in the sense that the data stored on OneDrive is a text file that the user (consciously) uploads or downloads.  We have taken some steps to minimize the user involvement in the synchronization of files.  OneDrive is GREAT in that the user can get heaps of memory FREE.

SQL Database

The SQL (Structured Query Language) Database is a centralized network resource that can store a lot of data and service many users. Unfortunately, not just anyone has direct access to the SQL Database. Rather, the SQL Database is the back-end of applications. Jazz Game Rules is a good example of using a Database where users from phone and websites can access the Rules of the Game.
