In addition, they are generally separated from running Java programs that access the database apart from the necessity for the database server to running. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

For that you'd have to go to their respective sites (use the Apache Derby site for more details on Java DB). Java DB/Derby is an excellent product, very SQL-standard compliant and usable either as a server or embedded. I don't know anything about SQLite. -- Lew

I don't know anything about SQLite. It is a nice little embedded database that works fine in many languages. Most likely you are using it - FireFox, ThunderBird and Skype all use it internally. Arne

JavaDB/Derby can be used in serverless environments as well, but only from Java (in server mode it should be usable from non-Java via ODBC and DB2 client, but even there it is mostly Java only).
