What's the "best" database for embedded? [closed]
Also SQLite is the Database chosen by virtually all mobile operating systems. Android, Iphone OS and Symbian ship with SQLite which makes me think that manpower was spent to optimize it for the processor in those phones (nearly always ARM).
I would stick with SQLite, it's widely supported and pretty rich in features.
Firebird (previously Interbase) claims to work well embedded.
HypersonicQL (HQL) is small and fast and also claims to be suitable for embedded use.
Alas, I have no personal experience to back up either claim.
