Sqlite is far more portable than Access. There is also an ODBC
interface available so that you can use the standard SQL/CLI API.
Just be wary of the fact that Sqlite does not have a server like
PostgreSQL so you may run into some locking situations if you have your
database distributed across machines.

Hi,
After successfully using SQLite on an embedded device, we are now thinking of
using SQLite in a PC application.
This would be used in place of an MS Access database on a local/network disk. I
believe that SQLite should be quicker for both transactions and queries than
Access. The one draw back that comes to mind maybe portability (i.e. accessing
data outside of the application), although the data would be portable across
machines (PC, Mac, Unix, etc) should we ever need it to be in the future.
Is there any webpage, or does anyone have any information comparing the
benefits of the two. I can only find comparisons between MySQL and PostgreSQL.
This information would aid us greatly in deciding whether to use SQLite or
stick with Access.
Any help/advice will be gratefully received.
Mark
