Local copy of the database server running...

I've done it before. Granted, it won't be guaranteed to have the SAME data, but I would think that would be implied...

We have over 350 tables. The disconnected laptop runs the full system with a few things disabled. The full system is a 700 KLOC PowerBuilder app.
