I googled here. Is it true that there is no xamarin under linux? And for some reason I thought that it was cross-platform ... And also monodevelop (IDE) is somehow connected with xamarin or are they completely different things? Is it possible to do mobile development on the mono framework? Will the apps be cross-platform?
ps In general, the most cross-platform library that I know is Qt, but I have never heard that it was written for mobile platforms ...
By the way, another question arose: I heard that under ios and macos, you must have a working mac to make applications. Is it true? Or is it still possible to compile in Windows or Linux? To be honest, I have never used any apple device in my life ...

I can't recommend but I would look at Angular2, namely along with :
- NativeScript for mobile ( https://www.nativescript.org/showcases)
- Electron for desktop ( electron.atom.io/apps/)
I use these Pieces have not been used yet. And I am delighted with Angular2, a very logical and correct framework comes out, as for me. I have been writing on it for almost half a year now.

Kivy is quite cross-platform like python,
but python requires an environment for its work, but it can be assembled into ready-made applications with all dependencies for any OS, it will weigh 20+ MB, as it drags a lot of libraries with it.

Mobile applications are not so rarely written on Qt, vacancies also appear from time to time. https://www.google.ru/search?q=qml+vacancy+mobile
ios and macos require a poppy, or at least a virtual machine with a poppy, that's true. But in QML, applications without platform-specific functions can be written even on the desktop, and run after recompilation everywhere.

Yes, there is no official release of Xamarin for Linux. Xamarin Studio is a Monodevelop implementation, which makes it possible to install it and install Xamarin. All this is not so easy to do, you can’t do without a tambourine, but if you really need it, then visit the site ( www.monodevelop.com/download/). Once upon a time (about a year ago) I set it myself, it worked on Ubuntu 14. I don’t know how it is now, but I think it should still work.

You described everything in a vague way. Where did you get the table3.name field from in your query ? It was not in the description above. Can you write a script to create tables with test data?
