Hi,
I'm new to this list, and have been given a task to investigate various alternatives for databases on embedded systems. I like what I have seen of sqlite so far!
On the sqlite.org wiki under "when to use sqlite", there is the following:
"# Embedded devices and applications
Because an SQLite database requires little or no administration, SQLite is a good choice for devices or services that must work unattended and without human support. SQLite is a good fit for use in cellphones, PDAs, set-top boxes, and/or appliances. It also works well as an embedded database in downloadable consumer applications."
Based on size, speed, and performance the above claim appears to be true. However, a lot of set-top boxes out there are not running Linux or WinCE, but are instead running vxworks or even vrtx. Has anyone ported/compiled sqlite to run on either of these OSes? Does anyone have a sense as to how hard it might or might not be if it doesn't already exist? Maybe it's not too hard if they're both POSIX compliant?
I know that Berkeley DB from sleepy cat has a vxworks port, but I would really prefer to pursue sqlite.
Any thoughts/hints welcomed! --Brett Granger
