Yes, FrontBase does support replication/synchronization, but according to their website it is only available for the top if the line $3000 implementation of the database, which is a little beyond our means for five people in an office.

I'm still surprised there isn't as much support for something as ubiquitous as mySQL seems to be...

Greetings James,

FrontBase has a free development license and a free deployment licenese
named E-Starter. Unless you need online backups, clustering/replication
or other advanced features, you need not pay FrontBase one dime.


Yes, I'll definitely need some form of replication -- our database
needs to be able to run on remote locations and then sync back to a
master database once the portables regain internet access.

That's synchronization, not replication. That's typically handled at the
application-level, as I know of no database which does this
out-of-the-box. Then again, I haven't looked closely at various databases
for this feature, so some may have it and I just haven't noticed.
