JDBC vs Web Service for Android

Question

Can someone answer on my dilemma which method to use for connecting Android device to mySQL or Postgresql?

I can do it in both ways without any erro

Answer 1

Another option would be to use a database sync tool like SymmetricDS.

This would let you have say a Postgres database on your server, and a SQLite database on your tablet.

SymmetricDS would synchronize the databases over HTTP, when a connection is available. You don't have to sync the whole db of course, just the relevant parts.
