Does Oracle Lite do this? I remember attending a seminar where Oracle were talking about running Lite on PDAs to support sales force automation. They could take orders and check inventory on their PDAs, query contacts and itineraries, etc, then it would replicate to real Oracle in one batch when they connected to dial-up every day. There was a mechanism for reconciling conflicts, for example if you had 100 units in stock, salesman A sold 50 and B sold 60, maybe customer A would get 45 units and B 55 until new inventory was ready. That sort of thing.

I'd appreciate hearing from folk what "solutions" there are for the following scenario. Users with laptops want to be able to input data whilst
not connected to database for subsequent upload to database. Apart from developing PL/SQL code to realise this functionality with associated integrity checks etc. are there other possible (3rd party) solutions?

If database was small enough there has been some notion of copying database
to laptop and subsequently re-synchronising when connecting to central database. Are there solutions out there for this?

I've a sneaking suspicion the solution to this is hidden in the caverns of
my memory but it ain't coming out!

Thanx in advance for anyone who takes time to reply :)
