Today I just learned that Adobe Air has a local SQL database, which is great; however, we had been creating XML and JSON files to handle mostly everything. Rather than re-architect our application to gain a few new features, it would seem useful to simply index our existing data files, using an embedded document-oriented DB.
So the question is: what’s the easiest way to get an embedded documented-oriented DB running in the Adobe Air runtime?
Try using the DB as a key/value store. Then, if you need to index a field, add a corresponding field in your key/value table and store a (very denormalized) copy of the data in there.
I think the local DB that Air uses is SQLite — if so, you can install triggers to keep your denormalized indexed fields synchronized.
I’ve done the key/value thing before to store serialized JSON trees. Not nearly as good as using CouchDB, but it works.
