5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Raju Vegesna, 'Zoho evangelist' said: "We spent quite a bit of time and effort making a highly functional, complex database and reporting application that's online and simple to use." He added: What excites me even further is that it brings other integration possibilities with existing Zoho apps to the table." (The lack of this functionality was one criticism voiced by early users). Features claimed for Zoho DB include: - Spreadsheet-like user interface for simple data manipulation and navigation; - Support for data import/export from a variety of spreadsheet formats, including .xls, .csv, and .tsv files; - Drag and drop-based reporting and visual analysis, with support for creating charts, pivot tables, summary views, and table views; - Full-fledged SQL-based querying of databases for powerful and flexible reporting; - Understanding of SQL queries/dialects from multiple databases — Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Informix, and ANSI SQL; - Databases, tables and views can be shared in read-only or read-write modes for collaborative development and analysis; - Professional looking reports can be created and embedded into a Website with simple copy/paste of code. |
