If your database structure writes a log or a change history for its rows, you can retrieve that history and replay it to the client.

Thanks for this post. There will almost certainly be some sort of database on the server for keeping the logs of the changes (it may or may not be an RDBMS). At the moment I don't have a need for a DB on the client side. The whole thing does lend itself to being described as "replication" so that's also worth searching the archives for.

In short, I'm unaware of a premade solution to this.

Even a negative is a useful answer - it's shows I'm not missing the blindingly obvious. Thank you.
