I working on my school project.My project purpose is movie rating application with ionic.When I will present my application on the phone.I need to get data on the internet.So I have to use cloud system for keep in web service and sql database.Oh also I will using sql database.I want to build database and web service on the azure.But its my first time for azure.How can I migrate my sql database to azure and how can I create web service in azure.Im rookie these things.I need a starting point.I searched on the web but cant find a good tutorial :(
If your SQL Database and WebService structure is not a requirement, you can also explore other options such as Mobile Apps. Mobile apps is a workload on Azure specifically built for such scenarios to connect with mobile devices and two way data communication. It uses what is called "Table storage" on Azure. You can start with that and later on move to a no-sql database such as DocumentDB for persistent storage and querying.
You can find a step by step tutorial below on how to create the Mobile apps and connect it to different platform such as Windows Phone, Android or iPhone. The link here is for Android. If you wish to use other platforms you can use the tab to switch to them. It will even give you a sample project that you can download and run directly which can get you started pretty quickly. I also have a blog post around this if you are interested.

I just started creating an application using NativeScript using Angular. I created a database using Azure and SQL. I'm really confused on how to connect the two though and can't find too much on it. Could someone help me out? Thanks!
None of the mobile apps connect to SQL database directly, you will expose REST services which will act as a middle man between your mobile app and database.
If you don't have a backend setup, then other option is to try one of the mobile backend services, Firebase for instance.
I had a engineer design our .net application back in 2009, my guess is that it was coded using visual studio, and all I have is the installer application. We have been using it on our 1 or 2 local client machines very well for the past few years, but now I want to move this front end to the cloud. Instead of installing it as an application on our windows 7 machines.
It is a very simple application used in our small warehouse that keeps track of cargo/shipments etc. It uses Sql Server 2008 Express as a backend which is stored locally.
I know how to get the database in the cloud, their are many options for that, using Amazon or Azure, but how do i get the local client application to the cloud?
I dont have access to the visual studio code, i just have the runtime executable file..
I am sure there is no way to do this, and many of SO users will say i need to re-write the front end.
I have tried to contact the developer and they hav since closed down. Is their anyway i can run this in the cloud?
I welcome all options and solutions!
Thanks.
I believe you have two options for hosting this application:
If you are able to configure the database connection string, you could host the database in the cloud, and distribute the application to your end users. However, you've already stated that you know how to move the database, so I assume this isn't an option.
The only alternative is to run the entire application on a cloud server, and send the user interface to a client using terminal services. This makes it appear as if the application is running locally on the user's computer, while it is actually running on the server.
For an off-the-shelf solution to achieve this, you could consider using Microsoft's RemoteApp Azure service. I'm sure there are other similar offerings available.
I'm trying to develop a WP8 app, and I have a free online sql server (not windows azure).
How can I Access the Database from the phone app?
I tried a local WPF sevice and it worked, but it won't help if I'd like to upload the app to the store.
Thanks for the help!
As far as i'm aware, you can't access the database directly, you need a proxy web service for this, i recommend you to look at OData, REST APIs and also to JSON or XML to transfer your data from the database to your app.
I'm very new to Sync Framework, Still exploring different possibilities. Here is my Scenario.
We need to have an application (SQL Server and ASP.Net) which is hosted on our web server. Users can register and interact with it online. Another Copy of the application will be installed on our Client's Intranet server. Users can be registered over LAN on this server.
A third copy of the Application (SQL Express) will be installed on various laptops and windows 7 tablets. Users will use the application remotely without connectivity to LAN or internet. Once the device is back in network, it will sync data with the LAN server and LAN Server will sync to the Internet server.
I intend to do this using WCF services and Sync Framework for the sake of security, however I'm open for suggestions. Can someone please suggest me the correct way of doing this and point me to some tutorials samples to do this. I've been struggling with samples available online (mainly this one http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Database-SyncSQL-Server-e97d1208) for a while and still have no success ..
Feel free to shoot any questions and I will answer them as best as I can.
have a look at this link and ignore/substitute the Azure specific stuff with SQL Server...it has a good discussion on the WCF specific components... Walkthrough of Windows Azure Sync Service Sample
So I am currently doing some research for creating iPhone and Mac applications for my company and perhaphs other small businesses. I have found god knows loads and loads of books on cocoa and iOS development, but on the side of SQL server things get a little more shady. I have seen all kinds of products online who claim to be the best SQL driver and to be the simplest and performance enhanced way of adding a relational database to your cocoa app. I have currently been and still create desktop applications under windows and we extensively use our databases for almost all applications and reports we build. We have iPads and iPhone all around our company and I could really bring some innovative apps to our table if we could have some of our workflows or reports on the iPhone or iPad. I cannot seem to find a viable SQL driver like using visual studio under widows. Is there a obvious solution that I have missed or do developers just not deal with enterprise projects with relational databases? We as a company have the capabilities to create what ever web or server needed to get such a project underway but before I do I want to make sure I can work with our existing database as I could with visual studio, any ideas or suggestions are welcomed.
I guess this is one of reasons why is there sooo little enterprise-class software on Macs... As a first candidate I would consider FreeTDS to access SQL Servers. It has headers and libraries that can be linked in XCode as far as I know.
As you mentioned in your post and comments, you do have great design in your mind. For having an application to compatible with any mobile device, the best application design would be to have your application running on as cloud service connected to specific cloud DB while application is talking to it over any exposed interface.
With Windows Azure your application can run as Cloud Service while using SQL database. In your cloud service you can have WCF endpoint exposed which can serve connection to your SQL Database and provide specific data you are looking for. This way your cloud application will be able to serve any mobile device as long as you can make connection to secure WCF endpoint and get back the data. In WCF you not only get XML data, you can pass much more complex results and process in the device as if needed.
