What database do mobile apps use?

Unfortunately the iPhone app is not going to be able to connect directly to our MySQL database . What we need is to create a middle-man that will facilitate the database operations. This is where the PHP web service comes in.

Popular Mobile App Databases MySQL : An open source, multi-threaded, and easy to use SQL database. PostgreSQL: A powerful, open source object-based, relational-database that is highly customizable. Redis: An open source, low maintenance, key/value store that is used for data caching in mobile applications.

Swift is a robust and intuitive programming language created by Apple for building apps for iOS, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. It’s designed to give developers more freedom than ever. Swift is easy to use and open source, so anyone with an idea can create something incredible.

The database that can be used by apps in iOS (and also used by iOS) is called SQLite, and it’s a relational database . It is contained in a C-library that is embedded to the app that is about to use it. … SQLite is not as powerful as other DMBSs, such as MySQL or SQL Server, as it does not include all of their features.
