What kind of database

Chris, you seem to have made a good case for No.1
Am I right in thinking that any platform which is likely to run our
app will have at least Java 1.5 - if not now, then soon?

Quick question: have we decided how we are going to store the data?

>1 Traditional relational database: JavaDB (included in Java 1.5 i
>believe, but also shippable as pure java)
>2 Non-relational database (Google App Engine)
>3 A bit of both - relational on the local client and non relational
>on the Web?
>
>Point 1 allows us to adopt the same structure client/server wise.
>Point 2 means we probably want to find something that works on the
>client exactly in the same way as on the internet
>Point 3 creates problems if we want to store master
>copies/downloadable copies of the information to the client.
