PureBasic Forum

For a customer we have developed a Windows application with Delphi and a local database.
They would like to have a Windows and Mac version (latest versions) of a similar application.

Therefore I am interested in developing these applications in Purebasic.

I have a few questions:
- Is it possible to use a local database (similar as Access) which is available for Windows and Mac machines? Maybe SQlite can used for this purpose?
- Are BLOBs supported (documents, images etc. need to be stored in the database) in the database?
- Is there good TCP and particular HTTP(S) support for posting data, upload and download to/from webserver for Windows and Mac applications?
- The applications need to run on a USB stick. How can the Mac application be deployed and run directly from the USB stick?

Thanks in advance!

yes, SQLite is a good choice for this!is supported in PB

For the other question, i can't answer, i have no experience on mac
