Load my DB from ram
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi

i have read that it is possible to upload my db in ram memory and open it from there. When i finished my work to save it at a external drive.

How can i do this ? or where to read ? or sample db ? or better a code ?

thxs

*i know that if i close my db before a save it at the drive , i will lose all the new records.

i have a friend and he bought a program(made by vb).
The program is stored in a usb flash drive and every morning he plug the flash run a small utility which upload the main program at ram. Then he unplug the flash and start working with the program.Everything is being saved at Ram. When he want to leave , plug the flash and run the utility which save the program at the flash.
If he close the program and he hasn't run the utility , he is losing the new entries.

The reason he is doing...
Simple to hide things that he is saving at the program.

So
1)Plug the usb
2)run the utility to upload the app
3)unplug the usb
4)work at the app
5)plug the usb and save data

if someone try to see the app , he is closing it or unplug the pc from electricity.
he will lose only the new data.
Simple

Good for people how want to hide stuff (will taxes)

Never heard of the load/run from RAM process you are asking about.

Why not run the db directly from the USB thumb drive?

The reason is simple:

If i have a db and want to install to a customer to test it, i can to it very simple.
i will not have to put expire or password protection.
it will be delete when the customer close the pc.(it will close some how.)
AND it will be full not demo.

If i want to hide as i said before, it will be easy with a usb
i will have to close the db and unplug.
on the other hand , if i upload the db , i will only have to close it.

i am using now the usb solution but it is not a good idea.
i can not run my db when i have someone in my office.
inside my db i am saving very important information.


solution :
something like RamDisk
Run the program , make an image at the ram , upload db , open it and work.
when you finish, copy the db back to the usb .
and someone come, simple close the program and you will lose only the new entries.


i want to do the same without the ramdisk
