Continuing a thread I have posted somewhere around here (but could not find it), why do people usually say a smart client is able to work offline, and a thin client only works if connected to Internet. I consider this not true, since a thin client may be connected to a local Intranet. Then, it does not need to be in Internet, the connection will only need to be accessing the local BD inside the network, right

Thin client and smart client

The point is that a thin client needs a connection to work (it doesn't matter if it is an intranet or internet)
Smart clients can be made to work offline (i.e. you need to work for that to happen) - so that when they are disconnected from a server the user still has the ability to continue work on a local copy of the data as well as queue requests for the backend for later

Hi,
The easiest way to think of a smart client is that it must always be available, even in a plane in the middle of the Pacific.
For more information on thin versus smart clients consult the excellent Smart Client Architecture and Design Guide:
