Hi

I am looking to develop an application that provides decision support
through various graphs and charts using a mysql backend. My problem is
between the data collection and data represenation. I would have a
handheld device with a database application on it to collect data, this
data (in a csv file most probably) would be transferred wirelessly to a
pc, which then would need to be uploaded online and loaded into the
correct mysql table so that any graphs would update their
representation of the data.

I am pretty new to this stuff so please bear with me but I guess the
first step would be to have a script to detect the creation or
modification of a file by the name xxx. However what would happen next?

How would the file be uploaded online and how would it be automatically
loaded into a particular mysql table?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Shahram
