Hi,

I recently downloaded the demo of Health & Diet Manager for Windows Mobile Pocket PC.

I'm quite impressed.

What I've noticed though is that the database looks very complete (perhaps too full) but is aligned to users in the US.

Is there an easy way for me to drop the database and import one that I can put together that is more aligned to the UK ?

Thanks and regards,

Ian P

Hello Ian,

thank you for your post. At the moment what you are requesting is not easily accomplishable, but we are planning to issue updates to the database to include additional food and nutritional info.

Adriano,

Thankyou for you swift reply.

When you say 'not easily accomplishable' . . . I've been a developer in IT for a number of years and whilst this isn't exactly my field I'm quite comfortable working at a low level on this kind of problem.

Can you tell me what the underlying db is behind Health & Diet Manager for Windows Mobile Pocket PC ?

I'm very likely to buy the product if I can manage the database easily.

Thanks and regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,

we are using SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org/) for which you can find quite a few clients allowing to browse and modify the content of the tables.
