Plus I would expect additional LiveCode-specific features, such-as an API that can be scripted with LiveCode, Certainly I expect the database to inter-operate with LiveCode. But how much control over them in LiveCloud ?

Hi Alain,

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. Our goal is simple. We want to make a very easy to use database available to everyone. Databases by their nature are complex in their setup, management, and use. The problem is compounded for new developers.

The native LiveCode APIs we have created cover all the CRUDL operations plus a lot of other functions we have found useful for making our products possible.

The local database storage will be free for all to use. The local database will probably be sufficient for a huge number of LiveCode developers. The cloud database is free to use for everyone during our beta phase.

The best I can offer those that are interested is a download link to the LiveCloud Manager: http://livecloud.io/live-code-manager-download-page/

Make a database today and see what it is about. The Canela team is available to answer all questions that come up.
