Light-Weight Database System for C++

Question

I need to use light-weight database because i have limited resource for application.

So i'm searching a light-weight database which i can use with C++, which is easy to manage, fast to retrieve data and uses up limited amount of resource.

I have found SqlLite in the internet. But before i start to implement my project, i want to get your recommendation on this topic.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

You've already find your best option in my opinion: SQLite.

You could technically use something even lighter like plain old file system with random file access. But you will miss two key points:

1. Easy creation of indexes on your data
2. An awesome language to get and manipulate data: SQL

SQLite will only add a couple of kilobytes to your executable and it's pretty lightweight. Plus, its API is relatively easy to use.
