Hi

I am kicking around the idea of using PostgreSQL as a web based service. Access to the site will be through a separate application/interface.

The user's interface will install the database on entry to the website. When the user exits the site, the database will be dumped to the user's computer and eliminated from the website. It seems to me that it is possible to make this dump and restore invisible, or mostly invisible, to the user.

Can someone tell me what criteria I need to look at in order to determine how many clients can be using the website, each with their own database, at one time??

If you see any other challenges to this plan, I would appreciate it if you would please let me know.

Bob Pawley
