SQLite is an embedded database or at least that is how it is primarily used. Both Apple and RealBasic are using SQLite as a part of there latest persistence engines and I'm sure there are more companies solving client side data issue that have done the same. At a recent previous job, we created a web based system that installed both the web server and database on a desktop/laptop. The system requirements for the system needed to be low enough to run on a windows 95 box with 64 MB of RAM. The system was a derivative of another complete system that ran on top of MS SQL and I was able to port it to SQLite with little effort to greatly reduce installation and licensing issues along with system requirements. If you are planning on creating a system that will have low concurrent usage you will be well served by SQLite but if you plan on making something that will be hit hard then you will likely need to move to a bigger database package. -- David Steinbrunner --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
