Good day to all!
I'm pretty new on ODK, I started using this amazing app last year - setup
my own host server using Apache and MySQL.
On my new project, I tried using Google App Engine and it found quiet
convenient as compared to managing server. But as practiced before I was
able to access ODK Tables in MySQL since I also have worksheets/dashboard
getting data directly to MySQL databases using ODBC connection.
My question is, is there a way I can connect directly to the database if my
ODK is being deployed to Google App Engine? It is very convenient for me to
design a dynamic worksheets that continuously refreshes data from ODK.
Hoping to get responses and ideas from the experts here, on how can I
manage my data using direct connection.
Thank you so much!!
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Welcome to the ODK community!
Google App Engine does not give you easy access to the underlying
database. And even if it did, I'm not sure it'd work with OBDC because
the data store is a proprietary NoSQL DB (no JOINs!)
If you need this functionality, I'd recommend you use a VPS (e.g., AWS
EC2/RDS, Google Compute Engine, Digital Ocean) which enable you to run
a Tomcat/MySQL container in the cloud.
Alternatively, you can send data from Aggregate to other services
(e.g., Google Spreadsheets) and do your reporting there.
https://opendatakit.org/use/aggregate/data-transfer/ describes some of
the other data transfer options.
Hope that helps,
Yaw

Jonathan,
Glad I could help! And if you want to migrate the data, I find ODK
Briefcase (https://opendatakit.org/use/briefcase) is the easiest way.
