A lot of the apps I'm looking at have requirements to constant access
to a fairly large amount of data. As an example, think about an
online shared contact database for some kinds of agents, maybe real
estate or sales people of some sort - they need to share and
coordinate data online but where apollo would come in handy is
allowing them to access their data and add to it while they're on the
road. Creating new contacts and storing them until connectivity is
available for syncing is ok, but they'd still need to be able to
lookup someone they know is in the database.
I can see using xml files or some equivalent as temporary storage, it
just seems to me that if we're talking about real, useful offline
apps with "sometimes" connectivity then some kind of db system more
efficient than file storage would seem to make sense. I'm not sure
i'm comfortable with the idea of cramming in an entire SQL engine or
webserver, but at least something that can store data in an efficient
format, that doesn't require line by line reading etc.

Yeah, I know about those, but you're talking about creating files
and reading them back - just seems like more work - so perhaps
writing something like an XML file out and reading it back would
have to do. I was thinking of something more native that didn't
require as much serialization.
