Light-weight SQL server for Linux/Windows?
database, linux, sqlite, windows
Solution
Give Firebird a try. It's cross platform and lightweight. Databases consist of single files.
Problem
SQLite is fine as a single-access database, but it gets risky when used by more than one user at a time. MySQL, Firebird, PostgreSQL etc. are more difficult to deploy and are simply overkill for my use. Ideally, I'd like a compact, single-EXE server meant to run on low-spec hardware (eg. 128MB RAM, 256MB flash RAM) that would be as easy to work with as SQLite, and is available for Linux (and Windows, so I can use the same code client-side in case customers prefer a regular PC.) Do you know of an application that fits those requirements?
