Share AA database

Is there any way to share the pdq database among two computers. When I had the trial I worked from my laptop and it ran well except if I was doing a scheduled deployment and I needed to take my laptop with me. Now I have the pro version of both inventory and deploy I moved it to a server. PDQ runs slow over RDP, and doing vnc or remote assistance from within a RDP sessions isn’t good either.
The server is plenty powerful 2 quad core xeons 8 GB ran and pdq inventory is using 445MB of it.
Is there a way to sync the databases? Ideally I could have the server do all the heavy lifting of routine scans and deployments, and my laptop can be used to pull reports, remote assistance, and “oh you need that software, here it is”
Thank you

Dana,
Not yet, no, but it is a high priority feature we're working on. In the mean time, if you're only interested in reading data on your laptop then you can copy the database from the server manually. It's not ideal, but it may give you some of what you're looking for.
Thanks for the advice Adam.
I wrote a bat file to kill the pdq tasks and copy the files, it seems to work good now.
