[DUG] Suitable Database for XE2 Pro

[John Bird]

Can argue over “Real”, but SQLLite is likely the widest used Database

The list at 

http://www.sqlite.org/famous.html

is an interesting read – Skype, Microsoft, GE, Mozilla (Firefox bookmarks and history), Adobe, Airbus (used in flight systems), Apple (iOS, Apple Mail and Safari),  Google Android (database services layer), Blackberry

Obviously lightweight and robust enough as well as free.  The list of uses on mainly on growing market devices implies it has a major future.

Some good points on the architecture – highly concurrent reads, ACID transactions, high volume automated tests.

Firebird embedded is probably one of the few comparable in size – has anyone in Firebird tried to make it a competitor to SQLLite?

There is of course SQLLite but that is not a client server database by any stretch. A very useful DB for particular uses and quite widely used, but not a "real" DB by most terms.
