And how do you suppose that we can answer this? We can't possibly teach you programming and program architecture in a forum posting. Especially when we, the complete strangers on the internet, don't know anything at all about your project....

I think it does not much matter whether you use MySQL or SQL Server or some other storage. You might be able to use XML or a text file such as CSV. That depends on the complexity of the data and the volume. When I say complexity, if it would be multiple tables in a database then that is more complex than a single table.

You could write a desktop application that stores the data of course and then it could export the data to a text file or multiple text files. If multiple text files then the application could zip the multiple files into one. Then when they connect to the internet, they just upload the file and then you process it. You might want to have a way to ensure the data is processed once and only once.
