I am working on a project that synchronizes online and offline features due to unstable Internet. I have come up with a possible solution. That is to create 2 similar databases for both online and offline and sync the two. My question is that is this a good method? Or are there better options?
I have researched online on the subject but I haven't come across anything substantive. One useful link I found was on database Replication. But I want the offline version to detect Internet presence and sync accordingly.
Pls can you help me find solutions or clues to solve my problem
I'd suggest you have an online storage for syncing and a local database(browser indexeddb, program sqllite or something similar) and log all your changes in your local database but have a record with what data was entered after last sync.
When you have a connection you sync all new data with the online storage at set intervals(like once every 5 mins or constant stream if you have the bandwidth/cpu capacity)
When the user logs in from a "fresh" location the online database pushes all data to the client who fills the local database with the data and then it resumes normal syncing function.
