Just if you need to be able to take it with you.

The whole point of a database is that you leave it where it is though

I think the OP is trying to talk about SQLite, so yeah, he could really be talking about carrying it on his phone.

But it's just such a weird word to use there that I can't really be sure.

Or portable like on a USB stick that you can put in any computer instead of installed on a single system.
