<p>2 revision(s)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Attendance==<br /> Nick, Mark, Christof, Gerald<br /> <br /> ==Discussion==<br /> * We discussed more about Google Gears and the SQLite DB it has.<br /> ** Synchronisation support for files<br /> *** Consistency during this updating process<br /> &lt;br/&gt;<br /> * It appears that Gears does not really support the functionality we want, as there is no support for online/offline synchronisation.<br /> * The idea of a a &quot;thick client&quot; with the DB server, application/web server and application/web interface is becoming more attractive.<br /> ** The technology necessary for this is synchronisation of the local and remote databases<br /> &lt;br/&gt;<br /> TODO: Research DBs that offer synchronisation, open-source tools for DB merging, DB replication etc<br /> &lt;br/&gt;<br /> A tool that was reusable and could merge/detect conflicts in updating DB tables with the same schema would be a worthwhile contribution to the community and a good secondary goal for the project.</div>
