database dev opinion needed

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I’m especially interested in database type Applications. So far I was using B4A which is an excellent tool and it is growing fast. Tons of libraries, demos samples and great support forum. The only downside is that B4A can makes Apps for Android only. At this point I need to create Apps for multiple platforms, so I’m looking at the CORONA.
My concern is working with SQLite and being able to create professional grids/forms. I have seen some examples here and there but so far the best I could see was editable grid, which is not enough for me to select CORONA. I’m looking for grids which can implement features like: sorting, filtering, sums, grouping etc. Moreover I need forms which allow Master/Detail (Parent/Child) related tables displayed. Of course due to the mobile limitation it is fine to show Master/Detail on separate screens (Tabs for example) but this functionality is crucial for me.

I would appreciate any professional input. By professionall I mean input from some one who did that, not from some one who hopes it works.
Thank you very much for any suggestions.

In my experience, Corona has only rudimentary support for what one might refer to as “business apps”. It’s primarily oriented towards graphical things like games. The features you mention - sorting, filtering and grouping in a grid, master/detail tables, etc, are not included out of the box; you would have to buy them somewhere, or roll your own.
