CBL .Net 4.5 :: Can anyone of you suggest a guide to setup the sync gateway and try to do a minimal syncing?

Hello,

Can anyone of you suggest a guide to setup the sync gateway and try to do a minimal syncing?

I want to try Sync Gateway how it works.

You can kick the tires of Sync Gateway by downloading it and just running "./sync_gateway" with no arguments. This will start up a little in-memory database and serve it at http://localhost:4985/sync_gateway/ .

Then you can build a minimal Couchbase Lite demo app like Grocery Sync, set the remote db URL to the above, and try it out.

(The more complex demo apps require a sync function to be configured in the gateway; these apps should come with a JSON file for configuring the gateway. You can set up the gateway for these by editing the config file and changing the "server": definition to

      "server": "walrus:",

(to make it use the simple in-memory db instead of Couchbase Server) and then starting sync_gateway with the config file as the argument.

Ok Thanks Jens

Can you also tell whether there is some windows desktop application which can open .cblite file? Something like CouuchbaseLite viewer for MacOs?

I don't think so. Not unless someone's written one without telling us. (A cross-platform Java one would be nice to have, hint hint.)

A cross-platform .NET one would be even better! ;)

Sherry, it’s just a sqlite file, so you could just use Visual Studio’s database explorer to connect to it to browse the tables.  Make sure you have an ADO.NET SQLite provider, and use the right connection string (for help, see http://www.connectionstrings.com/sqlite/). You’ll want to focus on the `revs` table.

Alternatively, you can also replicate against a local Sync Gateway running Walrus instead of Couchbase Server, and then open up the admin UI (http://localhost:4985/_admin/) to select your database and browse the documents.

Unfortunately the revs table uses a custom collator for one of its columns, so if you open it with a different client, SQLite will refuse to run some types of queries because it won't know how to search that column.
