Local Database Storage

L

Lee W

Hi,

I am trying to develop a very simple application(non-commericial) that
needs to have database-style access locally, without the use of a server
/network.

I came across the Berkley DB from sleepycat.com which seems to fit the
bill, however they only supply the source code and I don't have access
to a suitable C compiler on my Windows box.

Does anyone know anywhere that pre-compiled classes are available for
Berkley DB or can possibly suggest an alternative system? Fitting in
with the ethos of Java I would like them to be as cross-platform as
possible.

Thanks in advance for any advise.

Regards

Lee

Yes you do! There is probably a port of gcc which runs on windows but,
if not, there is Cygwin (http://cygwin.com/). I'm sure you can buy a
CD somewhere if you don't have a fast internet connection.

I am currently on a similar quest and discovered HSQL
(http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/web/hsqlDocsFrame.html). It can be used
"in-process" so that only your program has access to the database or
in client/server mode which they suggest for debugging even if you
intend to deploy the in-process version. It is Java based and even
supports stored procedures written in Java. The documentation, SQL
language implementation and other features, while not up to
PostgreSQL, are remarkably good for a small, free database.

I have not tried it so I would be interested in any comments from the
group.
