A parts database is perhaps a good example of the situation, but add in an inventory table that's FK'd on the parts table or something like that. I need to be able to push out updates to the parts table (the application data) on without affecting the user generated data (ie. the inventory data). | |

I assumed you were talking about a db server, but not it sounds like we're talking about a desktop application. What specific dbms are you using? Are we talking something like a parts database thats used in a desktop app? | |
