I disagree. You can be not the smallest and still be small, etc. Still I think people should not downvote because they disagree. Especially the links in that post are quite valuable!
- notacoward 12y agoYes, it can be small without being the smallest, but such a claim should at least require being smaller than average/median for the category. In that example, it had a much larger footprint than the majority. If not for the inclusion of Brobdingnagian BDB, it would have been the largest. If I want to claim I'm strong, it's not sufficient for there to be only one who is weaker. Among embeddable databases, SQLite has no real claim to be small or fast. Its strengths lie elsewhere.
- erikb 12y agoSeems reasonable. What is its strength if not being small?
