Private DB for iPhone

Private DB: Load and View Databases on Your Mobile Devices

Private DB is a free iPhone application developed by Portable Databases. It falls under the category of Business & Productivity and is an excellent tool for loading and viewing databases on your mobile devices. With Private DB, you can easily import CSV or tab-delimited text files from various sources such as the web, email, Dropbox, or iTunes and convert them into tables within your database.

Although this app allows you to view, sort, and search tables, it does not provide the functionality to add, edit, or delete rows. For such tasks, General DB is recommended. However, Private DB offers several useful features that make it an ideal choice for IT managers and publishers of reference data tables.

Private DB ensures that your rows are easily searchable, sortable, and selectable. This is particularly beneficial for IT managers who need to distribute company data in table form without worrying about unauthorized modifications by users. Additionally, it is an excellent tool for publishers of reference data tables who want to prevent their users from tampering with the data.

The app offers a range of capabilities, including the ability to download and import tab-delimited or CSV text files, import files from the Mail app, download and execute SQL files, switch to SQLite databases, sort on up to three fields, search on any field, execute SQL commands in the SQL Console, and create views on tables to reorder or select a subset of fields.

Private DB provides a convenient and efficient way to load and view databases on your iPhone. Its user-friendly interface and powerful features make it a valuable tool for managing and accessing data on the go.
