Having problems updating records in zoho, getting the following error:
2897The user account I’m using to access the api is the creater/owner of the database. With the same account, I’m able to read values from the database.
Any ideas how I can get around this?
Is it possible to use the API to synchronize data between an Oracle database and a Zoho Creator database? We have certain Creator views that will need to pull from the Oracle database.
Is it possible to write code in things like POWERBASIC 9 to drive these APIs – so an application can be written which can be used on various client PCs to update a database on a server PC ?
I have been using SQLLITENING/SQLITE apps (client/server database apps). May want to integrate web based databases.
