SQL Server as Main DB Engine for Devices in the Field

  • Hi, I am currently in the process of rolling out vending machines in the field which are controlled by Android tablets. The tablets are connected to wireless networks which will then connect to our internal network. I would like the stats from the vending machines to be fed to my SQL server through our network. What would this entail?

  • In short, a lot.

    You will need a set of Web Services that will deal with the database on the back end.

    You will need an Android app collecting the data, that will talk to those Web Services via the wireless network.

    You will need a security schema that will prevent hacking of the system.

    SQL Server is an important but only small part of the overall picture, so this forum is not the best one to ask for help when you need experts who understand the overall architecture and ramifications of the compromises you will have to make.

  • But, you might be able to get a team together from here that can help, if you are willing to work with geographically dispersed individuals.

    The marvels of modern technology.
