Hiya,
I remember now...
That's why I'm interested in local and remote DBs. A light DB with
recent data which synchronises with the remote.
I have been doing this with Derby and HSQLDB (both can run as client and
server). They're fairly lightweight for client apps, although HSQLDB
worries me a little due to it's laxness on error checking (which makes
it faster).
Now that SQLite can handle larger datasets I might move onto that.
Cheers,
Luis.

Problem I see is the wire (even the one in 'wireless'): Once the wire
is down, so is the app.
Nobody expects a hard disk to fail, but they do. No one wants the
'wire' to fail, but it does.
If the wire fails, your app is not down; your access to the latest and
greatest content is delayed. It doesn't make sense to store an entire
help
system online. The more intelligent system stores a version locally and
updates the local version as needed. If the apps completely relied on
the
wire, then there would be a problem, but the wire simply provides a
means to
keep your local content in synch with the latest version. So yes, your
content is only as recent as the latest net update, but you always have
access to *some* content, though it may not be the version that was
published yesterday.
And even if the wire is not available, you still can't shop anywhere,
regardless of what mechanism is used to drive the store.
