I have the following criteria

  • Database should be protected with a username and password. It should not be possible to copy the database file and use it else were like MS Access.

  • There will be no central database server. Each machine will run their own database server locally and user will initiate synchronization. Concept is inspired from distributed version control system like Git. So it should have good replication support.

  • Strong consistency is not needed. Users will synchronize each other database when they need. In case of conflicts it should be possible to find the conflict and present it (from application) to the user for fixing it.

  • Revisions of data if available it will be good. e.g. Entire history of change to a invoice.

  • I explored document oriented database and inclined towards the same. But I dont know what to choose.

  • Database is small it will not reach even 1GB in the next few years (say 3 years).

Please feel free to suggest any database which you think might be suitable. Any pointers is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    Following is the one which I am looking for:

    From official site: CouchDB is a peer-based distributed
    database system, it allows for users
    and servers to access and update the
    same shared data while disconnected
    and then bi-directionally replicate
    those changes later.

    The CouchDB document storage, view and
    security models are designed to work
    together to make true bi-directional
    replication efficient and reliable.
    Both documents and designs can
    replicate, allowing full database
    applications (including application
    design, logic and data) to be
    replicated to laptops for offline use,
    or replicated to servers in remote
    offices where slow or unreliable
    connections make sharing data
    difficult.

    Any idea how the couchDB data can be protected using user accounts? e.g. Mysql needs user to login to use the data. I am looking only for a simple authentication, not for something fool proof. I just do not want the data to be open for editing. Encrypting the file system seems to be an overkill.
