It would be hard to beat SQLite for a small stand-alone single-user RDBMS.

Hi,
I remember that years ago in Delphi I often used Paradox (less
often dBase) to create a small stand-alone database with my Delphi
desktop programs. It had tge advantage of
1. using Delphi database controls,
2. no need for a database server or DBMS to be installed on the
client's machine (= less resources),
3. having the ability to deploy the database (basically the DB
file(s) (I think it was one file per table), a .dll and a setup
file telling the program where the db is stored (and links between
tables?)) all together in a single install file (Installshield
most of the time, sometimes a custom self-extracting file).
I am sure that Lazarus must still be used for these kind of
quick-and-easy small stand-alone desktop applications. But what is
your favourite small/embedded database for this kind of once-off
personal programs these days, and why? Preferably something that
can be used on both Linux and Windows without the need for ODBC or
similar.
Cheers
Chavoux
