best portable db for ColdFusion
I'd keep 'daynotes' with me when I move from computer to computer. Currently it's all text files but I'd like to move it to a database that I can move with me. MS Access is an option but is there something better? Derby? SQLite?

My current government contract blocks evernote (among other things). I'll look at thesecretweapon site a little later...when I can access evernote...maybe. :) Thanks On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 2:44 PM, Cameron Childress camer...@gmail.comwrote: On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 2:30 PM, Michael Dinowitz wrote: I'd keep 'daynotes' with me when I move from computer to computer.

Re: best portable db for ColdFusion
Yeah Evernote is fantastic for this. If you really wanted to make it yourself and you want a portable DB, I like Derby, just for the fact that it's file-based and works really well with CF. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [about.me/nathanstrutz] On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 11:44 AM, Cameron Childress camer...@gmail.comwrote: On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 2:30 PM, Michael Dinowitz wrote: I'd keep 'daynotes' with me when I move from computer to computer.

I may not be fully understanding your needs, but it seems like a spreadsheet would accomplish this purpose. Portable, customizable, and easy to import/export data if you want to query something.

What about a local copy of mysql? Yeah...it's a bit overkill for something small...but it is free and easy to set up.

Re: best portable db for ColdFusion
SQLite is pretty freakin sweet. SQLite Expert has a free GUI for personal use http://www.sqliteexpert.com/ Uniform Server has a portable version of MySQL 5.0 http://sourceforge.net/projects/miniserver/files/MiniServer/MiniServer_%20MySQL%205.0.67%20Portable/ And HeidiSQL has a portable version of it's MySQL GUI http://www.heidisql.com/download.php I do the same thing. I keep a cheat sheet on Google docs that syncs up on multiple machines as well as my Android phone. Google docs also has version control which is pretty freakin slick, not to mention useful. HTH G!

Re: best portable db for ColdFusion
If you are OK with not building it yourself, I'll put in another vote for Evernote. I put it on every device I have (home desktop, office desktop, laptop, phone and tablet). I can update my grocery list on my tablet while sitting on the couch and when I get to the store, my shopping list is right there on my phone as I walk the aisles. One nice feature is marking items as 'offline' so they are stored locally on each device. Handy if I have no connectivity; I don't lose my ability to view or edit my notes.

Re: best portable db for ColdFusion
There are many apps that you can run off a usb memory stick which you could usr forv taking notes. Or you could run sqlite3 However wouldn't it be easier to use something like google docs/ drive which runs in a browser and can be used from your smart phone.
