United StatesGeneral DB is a general-purpose database app that lets you record information quickly and easily. Try our FREE Private DB app to get a feel for General DB before you buy. For example, if you have a bottle collection, you could make a table with these fields: Date Acquired, Bottle Type, Bottle Origin, Shape, Notes. Then whenever you add a new bottle to your collection, you can add a row to the table describing it. If you want to track visits to different vacation sites, you can make a table with fields for the Date Visited, Location, Description, and Attraction. As you visit the sites, you can add corresponding rows to your table. After you add rows to your tables, they will be: * Searchable * Sortable * Selectable Many apps are too specific to a subject, but General DB is flexible enough to handle many, many needs, such as: - Inventories - Customer info - Membership lists - Tracking Logs - Accounts - and many more ! No database knowledge is required to use this app, but you will pick some up as you go! For power users: General DB allows easy data entry into a full-fledged SQLite database. To do so, it enhances it with field formats. The field formats supported are Text, Number, Date, Time, Duration, Location, Photo, Barcode, Raw, Picker, and Lookup Table. There are convenient buttons next to some fields for easier input. For administrators or IT manager, you can create a master database of reference information that you don't want your users to modify. This master database can be published on the internet and either the Private DB app or General DB can download and view it. Some more powerful features: - Download files from the web or Dropbox - Import text files into tables - Execute SQL files - Extract .zip or .gz files - Manage your image files and create thumbnails - Preview all the lines in a file before importing it - Custom picker types to select values from a list - Add your own image files from you computer using iTunes - SQL Console for executing SQL statements - Mark SQL statements as favorites - See and execute past SQL statements in the History - Built-in web browser to download files from - Save websites in the Bookmarks - Easily create a SQL VIEW (subsets of fields from a table) - JOIN 2 or more tables or views for relational capabilities - Export selected rows from your tables to a file - Email your files to others - Share your database via Email or Dropbox - Create databases - And much more! If you have any questions, or if you need your business database customized for your iPhone or iPad, feel free to contact us on our website.
Capable Database Viewer and Editor
My original mistaken review is below; as can perhaps be seen, the developers wrote back, letting me know I overlooked the option to get the database back out. __________ In limited testing with a small database. . . If you have an older iPad/iOS, this is a good app to view and edit your SQLite database files. Definitely try the free Private DB first to get a feel for how it works. It’s not quite as intuitive as I’d like, none of the icons are labeled, so one must experiment by tapping on them to find out what they do, which is potentially dangerous with databases. Figuring out how to adjust the column widths took longer than I wanted. Updating a record is troublesome when the field is low on the screen, the keyboard entirely covers it, so you can’t see what you’re typing. Moving through the columns isn’t a matter of swiping, as with rows. But the app hasn’t crashed yet. __________ Original Mistaken Subject: Exports/Shares as a text file only, not a .db I mistakenly thought I could get my database back out as a SQLite .db, which is how it got in. But the Share button only allows for sharing selected rows, or exporting the whole db as a .txt file which then can only be imported, apparently through iTunes.
United StatesJust awesome!
I find this app to be perfect. Very easy to use, handy, helpful, powerful and long overdue. Wish I had found this years ago. Love it!
United StatesSupport
I added GeneralDB to my iPadPro and could not make it operate even though I’ve been using this app on my iPhone for years. Once I contacted Tom for a little support, I got a bunch of support; almost instantly. The problem was solved by that afternoon, and a reset of my iPad got me back into the app. +1 for support of this useful tool.
United StatesUsing this to collect field data on an ipad
success!
United Statesthanks for an SQLite DB mgr; on iOS 13 howto ...
How do I turn on ‘dark mode’ for General DB to take advantage of this new iOS feature?
United StatesAwesome App
This app is awesome. The current version resolved a memory leak issue causing import problems with very large files. Customer service has been fantastic! Quick responses and follow ups. Also willing to spend the time in helping me with the import issue. This app allows me to carry large amounts of data that I can easily access. In app searches are very quick.
United StatesGreat App
I have a pretty large database with 8 tables and 10k+ rows - this runs great on my iPad and iPhone 6 sharing with Dropbox. The only thing missing for me is the ability to have the 'picker types' dynamic, For example being able to define a field as a lookup in a related table rather than a static list of picker values. - UPDATE: I found out that the picker values ARE actually stored as hidden tables (view in settings). Now I can use triggers to update these picker values dynamically based on other tables. Very cool - can almost build a complete application now. Simple Form capability would make this app complete for me. Keep up the good work
