Using protocol buffers for a comprehensive data strategy for Windows Mobile devices
- by Steve
I have started reading some of the posts related to protocol buffers. The serialization method seems very appropriate for the transfer of data to and from web servers. Has anyone considered using a method like this to save and retrieve data on the mobile device itself? (i.e. a replacement for a traditional database / orm layer)
Where would the data be persisted?
How would the data be queried?
Would it make sense to store the data in a traditional database (SqlCE or SqlLite) with a few "searchable" columns and then one column for the serialized data?
Thoughts? Am I out on a limb here?
Thank you!
