Been in embedded for 20 years, and SQL sucks
so what's a good alternative for low footprint embedded these days? i'd rather use json files and jq than sql tbh.
- joezydeco 5y agoAre you on 64-bit ARM? Maybe MongoDB.
- catsareok 5y agoYeah mostly Nvidia Jetson parts, so that'd prob work. Mongo seems to be a massive fav - I should dig in. What do people think of CockroachDB? Thanks.
- aliasEli 5y agoWhat are your requirements? It seems like you don't need ACID transactions or joins.
- catsareok 5y agoI want to avoid joins at all costs. I’ve encountered far too many of them for purposes of “it would be fun to use a join,”. Basic requirements are storage of ints and strings, and mutex. Doesn’t need to be lighting fast, or have complex caching.
- airbreather 5y agosql light, source available, in c. Don't know if it would fit your platform, but if it doesn't you could argue it doesn't need it, or maybe the database is off board?
- catsareok 5y agoSqlite3 blows. Worked it for years. It has caching and flash burn issues and also is just the worst “language” when it comes to schema updates and general use.
- airbreather 5y agoSeems very popular for something so problematic.
