Yes - because
o I want to be able to query the PDA from outside. If I wander into
my wireless lan I'd like the main machines to be able to query the
database, sync it and feed stuff without me even pushing buttons.
o It trades a very slight performance lost for easy to implement
notifications.
o It reduces memory footprint - data is cached once.
o It means we can be a lot smarter about writeback, delaying
writebacks when appropriate, without worrying about another db
instance falling over us.
Equally we want to wrap the sql interface very cleanly so we can change
dbase later. Which in practical terms means we don't care yet
