Can you have a database on your phone?

Question

if i wanted to create a website from my phone but needed a database to store info gathered from the website, what would be my best options? is there a free cloudbased database i could use?

Answer 1

Firebase uses a API that you can use in any javascript file...so in theory its possible to setup a firebase database and then code the connections using websockets, its doable i think. Check it out Daniel Shiffman videos about Firebase, he makes a simple game that stores highscore and show it on a html file with node.js, all can be done with CDN (external links) on the js files.

Answer 2

Answer 4

What do you mean by "wanted create a website FROM my phone"?
Anyway, your phone can only host a web site on local network, or private purpose ( need to have device connected and to know dynamic public IP of the device )...

However, if you use your phone for serve web pages, you need a tool for doing that: among the different possibilities, you'll find develop an app with java and you do it on desktop, or use a pre-existing app, or use another tools/language to achieve the same goal ( in example, you can develop a little web server tool based on Python and Bottle )...

Well, in almost cases you'll must find a solution for used database, at least through android APIs to manage SQLite ( I guess you want host the database too on your phone ) ^^ ( for pre-existing app, you need to have features intended inside, at least to use another dedicated app service )

Answer 5

no you can use firebase in the browser to manage databases
