Hello,

I am looking for a portable database. I would like to have a database in which it can be updated/read via a web browser.

I am looking to stay away from MS access because of the IE/ActiveX tie in.

I did a Google search and didn't find anything too promising.

Does anyone know of a database (preferably opensoruce) that would allow me to save the database to a USB disk and update via a web page (also located on the USB disk). The database will only be access by one person on their system.

Thanks for the help,
Bill

so I don't see how you can do this at all.
Java applets or activex would but then permissions would have to be granted to do so.

Database wise I can't think of a solution that wouldn't require .net or activeX

You could do it out of files of course but you still have the access problem.

You would be better off writing an executable .

It calls Nenest, which hosts your data on the web. You have access control to get data security. Its Html/Xml API allows you easily integrate it with your web site or local applications.
