Blackberry or Android problem
-
I want to create a simple application for my club,which will enable users search details of other members on their BB , Android phone or any java enabled phone. Is it better to embed the database in the app or have it hosted elsewhere ? I'd prefer embedded in case phone not configured for internet access , but what are the practical considerations, including in the development and use ? Thanks

It all depends on your connectivity level (always online, offline), network availability and how much data you will be transferring. For a case like yours I would presume low data transfer, and always online would do so don't make your life difficult by embedding the database.

The problem with embedded only is how does the database update? New members etc. You could use an embedded database and provide access to a server to update when online. My phone doesn't have 3G but there are plenty of Wi-Fi connections I use, so I'm regularly connected. After all they need to be connected or sync'd at some stage to install the app.
