Ruby on Rails

Currently, I have a rails application and a SQL Server database that it connects to for my production database.  While they're connected to the site (online) a user can lookup certain people and then fill out a report evaluation on them.  I would like to allow them to be able to still look up a person and write a report if they are offline.  From reading it seems like I'd need to store them information in HTML 5 local storage, and then when it gets the connection back it would upload the data from local storage back to the SQL Server database.  If I've read up on this correctly...  does that answer the question?

You have said you want them to lookup people in the db when offline,
and later push them to server db when online.  Are there two
databases?  If so what is the relationship between them?
