But what about a case where ALL you want to do is SELECT. Lets say you have a 'Tour of the Museum of Fine Art', a DB with a couple of entries for title,artist,year,description,style,image (image being a high resolution .jpg). Because of the images the whole lot comes to a couple of GBs so you put it on a DVD. The intention is only to 'view'. Is it possible to save the User the need to clog their HD by leaving the DB on DVD. What about a Hybrid. If the above is possible, then what about an approach where your Rev front end is stored on the Users HD and creates a small DB. The small DB has two entries, notes and a pointer to the read only DVD DB. In this way a user could enter their own notes about each painting in the museum, these notes would be written to the small DB and be remembered, and modifiable as required. NOTE. I appreciate that this is not the 'normal/fastest' way you'd handle this in a DB. I'm simply interested in whether this will work.
