>>I had the name wrong: SQLite was the one. With it in place, disconnected data is a snap, as much as disconnected data can be a snap. Without it, you are back in the dark ages.
Amazing, really: Dr Dave "got" the need for local data over 20 years ago when mainstream vendors were still wed to terminals (and lets face it, a data-less browser is just a prettied-up terminal...) Seems to me that the phone is where the PC was in those good old days when IT really was changing business rather than coming up with self-indulgently clever/complicated ways to do the same things over again.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
