Not as lightweight as sqllite. But I always wonder why firebird embedded-able server[0] does not get more love? The 32-bit so library just under 7MB and then you have a full rdbms available to your application.

- lwf 9y agoWell, for one, SQLite's 32-bit dll is only 858KiB :)
- oneweekwonder 9y agoFeature richness comparable to oracle, mysql, postgres, comes at a price. Another perspective; embeddable py 10MB, electron app 50MB[0], free pascal exe 1.5MB. So 7MB for a RDBMS seems reasonable, but not comparable to SQLite as you pointed out.

- jug 9y agoPoorly advertised? With a lack of marketing/funding I can understand it though. But as for me, I had heard of Firebird but not the embeddable, and of course of SQLite everywhere. Maybe it's also in part because the OSS space has limited room for this niche and SQLite kind of happened to grab the largest share.
