Now I’m not talking about those type of databases that keeps datas of a
given website. I’m talking about something similar to it but that can
work offline. Still confused? Here is what I’m talking about.
Let’s say we have a login screen
Source code : Database in ruby? HELP - Pastebin.com
Can I do something like that?
The variable will empty itself and start over after the program is
closed so can I do something so the program can save and retrieve data
from a file anytime?
Let’s revise, all I’m asking for is
Program creates a new file.
Program can add/remove/retrieve data from the file.
Just like a database for a website.
Thanks.
I believe an SQLite DB would serve your purpose. Its file based at the
same
times one can use it as a Database.

Basically any database can be used without a web application. At least
I wouldn’t be aware of any that could not.

Without knowing more about your requirements in terms of types of
data, data volume, access patterns, # of concurrent users etc. it’s
hard to recommend something. You could use
- ASCII files
- Marhsalled data
- PStore
- JSON formatted file
- key value store
- relational database
- of which SQLite is one variant

Please do not associate “database” with “website”. A database is just
that, a persistent (most are but there are also databases for
transient usage) storage for data.
Kind regards
