Well, that sounds like a rather silly argument. I thought the whole
idea of "embedded databases" is to get one application to access one
database at one time
i'm (still) trying to figure out why one would have an embedded database
with multiple embedded apps attempting to talk to it... concurrently or
otherwise... i would think that any kind of concurrent multiple access
needs would be better served by a (dedicated?) database server...
i still find it amazing, though, that in today's world, so many opt to
use a sql database of some kind even for smallish projects where a nice
simple self-designed binary data file would suffice... in many cases, it
is akin to swatting a fly with a hydrogen bomb ;)
I would imagine that the project would have to be pretty smallish to not meet
the justification to use something FB emedded given all the extra features you
get since even smallish apps I've personally written sooner or later end up
having more complex data persistence requirements to one degree or another.
The need for just a couple of INI file settings aside of course.
Nice to be able to set a couple of configuration settings and have a full blown
FB server should the need arise. If it doesn't, the only downsize is that I'm
stuck with a very versatile storage mechanism.
Sounds like a win/win to me :-)
