Database working both locally and on the web

flash data integration:

Hi.
A customer asked me to create a database application in flash or
director, working both on a cd-rom and on the web.
He told me: the database should be SQL based and the application should
be the same for both usage.
Well, I think it is not possible, because working with a SQL db requires
PHP or another server-side language; working locally requires a
file-based db, I think, or SQL-lite or something similar...
Anyone can give some ideas? I see there are xtras for director working
with SQL lite, while flash could work with coldfusion and so on... but
something working also locally, I really don't know...
Many thanks,

your customer has no limits when asking, i hope it'll be the same when
paying!

may be you could develop a main application with 2 different DB
interfaces, local & remote. i guess the best tool would be Director as
there're xtras for connecting to a local DB w/o the hassle of installing
a server on user machine. for the remote interface will be cheaper &
easier a server-side web application using ASP, PHP, ...
i'm assuming the DB will be read-only, i.e. when running fron CD, no
internet connection needed

what about the CD, only Win or cross-platform?

:)) I hope so!!

unfortunately he told me he absolutely wants the application to be done
with flash!
really, so no xtra and no director...
