Is there anyway to have a client side small database that syncs with server side database whenever there is a change in data?
So I am looking at writing a javascript program to store a bunch of student application forms. But the internet connection is gonna be unstable as the personnel using it will be moving around campus to collect form data on his tablet.
I have looked at localstorage, but it does not have any database features.
I am really looking for technologies that can do local database entries and make asynchronous syncing easy (like what dropBox did was awesome except that it is not a web application)
I hope my question is clear
Thanks
It depends upon what kind of support you want.
Check out http://diveintohtml5.ep.io/storage.html#future where they talk about the Web SQL Database specification and IndexedDB.
It may work (Web SQL Database that is), since it sounds like a controlled environment.
