I am developing a web app that will be used by individuals in various locations. There is a relatively small mysql database on my server. The thing is at times the users may not have internet access. Is there some sort of hybrid framework/language that I could use in this case.
To be more clear, the program needs to do some fairly rigorous calculations and it needs to fetch values from my mysql database. I can solve this problem using php and mysql. The problem is what happens when they do not have connectivity?
A fine solution is they could download a local copy of the database in the morning while traveling (what are some good light weight DBMSs in this case?) Then they need a client based program (javascript?).
I’d like to reuse code for both instances which rules out php.
Thank you for any suggestions.
HTML 5 have local storage (like database) and you can use in this case. But not every browser support that now.
