Hi Christos.

Let me try to answer your questions. .
The DB will be hosted at a web hosting company on their network.
The web site will also be located at the web host so that people who want to see the menu and print a txt only version can do so.
All of the DB that is hosted will be updated by the owners of the diner via an application that I wrote for them on their machine. An EXE for example in PB. I was looking at the PB docs and I can see it's possible to use http to communicate with a web server, but I didn't see any exame code. Maybe I just missed it.
Do you happen to know of any example code of how to use PB to communicate with a web server and a database on a web hosts network / internet?
.Thanks so much for the flow chart. I will check it out.
By the way. May I ask. Are you Greek?
Your name is why I ask. 😂👍

Best regards my friend and thank you so much for your input.

Hi
Yes i Greek, the location athens,greece also states that ;-)

So if i understand correctly, you already have an application writen in pb which acts as a dinner organizwr r something similar
Additionally the "restaurant" already has a already inplemented website

What you are looking for in interconection of databases in order to "sync" dinner data today menu is chicken tommorow pasta etc.

In that case i see little use of spiderbasic

You have to check with website admin. If he can retrieve data and upadate dinner from a database , lets say a mysql/sqlite database hosted in you webserver
PB CAN access and alter/upadate databases located anywhere
(Mysql is the optimal solution i believe because is network accessible by definition

PB database library has examples for databases and as said they are network accessible by definition...

It's JS, CSS, and HTML.. No special requirements..

To make multi-user real-time stuff scale you'll have to use websocket push(having users poll the server will not work); that has special server requirements with HTTP server configurations. If you're android or IOS you can use native API for a TCP push infrastructure. Again, this is only when you have to make a project support infinite users in real time without crashing server(s)..
