SQL to Cloud porting

No. For now I am not considering cloud anymore. At least not aws, s3 and such.

But, if someday someone would make a special app that would take cw desktop app and create application part of the server (webservices) and convert cw app into client app that works with mentioned server app, I would pay really good money for it.

Now THAT would be a winner.

Hi Bostjan - How does that requirement differ from Anyscreen?

Well, Anyscreen is “running” in a web browser, it has server licensing etc

What I meant is that the desktop app remains a desktop app, not just by the looks of it. It would get a “web driver” in a way, “converting” file methods to POSTs and GETs for example.
On the server side there would be webservices and behind them some sql server. Perhaps even based on nettalk, I don’t know.
So it sort of feels more like ip driver situation but thru restful api.

I have seen some companies move their apps to cloud in similar way (not cw apps and these were newly built apps, but still they maintained similar looks to old appa and new ones are still windows desktop apps, just connected to cloud).

It’s probably more or less a dream anyway so… :wink:

Yes, that would be great, RESTful API!

On the Windows clients: running my Application.exe
Somewhere in the cloud: my TPS database which is read/updated with RESTful API by my Application.exe.

You mean like the IP Driver? That’s pretty much exactly what it does.

IP driver is direct tcp connection I think, which also means connection must not drop at any time for the app not to crash. I was thinking proper restful api with “standard” http calls like get, post etc

This is correct - if the connection drops (even for a milisecond) - or the client is on a 4G/5G network, or has CGNAT - you will run into disconnection issues sadly, as the IP Server cannot reconnect automaticlly (we have the same issue and are looking for a solution for this still)

A solution is coming. Please email me directly so I can chat to you about your context.
