SQLite, plain localStorage in the browser, the file system for desktop apps, …?
- stavros 3y agoYou're going to definitely need a schema, so you want a SQL database, which leaves SQLite and Postgres. The only difference between the two is one requires a server. If that's too inconvenient, SQLite is a solid choice.
- SJC_Hacker 3y ago> .The only difference between the two is one requires a server. Lol, no. Postgres has tons of features that SQLite lacks.
- stavros 3y agoExcept we're talking about Postgres being more complex than SQLite, please follow the thread.
- anticlimacus 2y agoRegardless of the context, your statement that the only difference between SQLite and Postgres is that one requires a server is plain wrong. That would be like discussing Emacs being more complex than Vim, and then saying, "The only difference that Emacs has from Vim is that Emacs typically uses a client/server architecture".
