Hi Don,

A flash drive is for all intents and purposes equivalent to a hard drive. So 
for DP it can be used in the same way as you would use a disk drive.

However it sounds like there might be more to this that just the flash drive. 
it sounds like you want to have the data of an application access by multiple 
people in an offline fashion, and perhaps later synchronise the changes they 
have made. If this is the case, then you will need to work out how to create 
replicas and perhaps synchronise data, and depending on the complexity of the 
application could be quite a challenging job, as DP does not have an 
understanding of this built into it.   

But if it is just storage and an accessing a program, then the flash drive does 
not itself introduce any greater complexity. 

Regards
Brian

  Subject: [Dataperf] Putting application on a flash drive


  Does anyone have any experience working on an application from a flash drive? 
I have a project come up very suddenly where my client might want to distribute 
a database of about 900,000 items to multiple teams of people who will be 
examining some related data and marking many of the items with a "yes" or "no" 
mark. Does the flash drive serve the purpose of DP's temporary drive?
