ITTIA DB SQL Delivers Secure Data Distribution for Android

August 30, 2012 — Bellevue, WA — With Android’s worldwide smart device market dominance, and thanks to inexpensive high-capacity SD Cards and comprehensive software development kit, it is easier than ever for software developers to build a distributed network of data-driven applications. While Android includes SQLite, a built-in database, applications handling mission critical data require capabilities not available in SQLite.

Important features where support is weak or non-existent in SQLite include:

  • Security
  • Data replication
  • Data synchronization-Concurrent shared access
  • Flexible storage
  • Performance

Eventually, such problems make migrating … Read More → "ITTIA DB SQL Delivers Secure Data Distribution for Android"
