Speedy1 - Application Internal Memory SQL-Database

 

Speedy1 is a SQL-database which is fully integrated into the application program. So you can build applications based on SQL-databases without the need for the user to install and maintain a database. The user does not even see that a database is used. Speedy1 is small, fast and simple to use. So linking the database to the application does not make the program much bigger.

 

If you have a small application which requires to systematically manage some data I think you should test Speedy1. At least it is a small download and can be installed quickly (and also de-installed - if ever needed).

 

You can get Speedy1 for Linux and Windows.

 

Main Features

 

*   End-user does not need to install, administrate, maintain database

*   Multiple simultaneous connects to the database from different applications

*   Multiple databases are supported

*   Transactions are supported

*   (Unique) Indices

*   High stability and efficient memory handling

*   Small number of source-code-lines (and small libraries)

*   "Secure" tables keep contents even if severe errors occur

 

Main Restrictions

 

*   Database must fit into virtual memory

*   Query optimisation has to be done manually

*   SQL-language not fully implemented (e.g. privileges, views, alter-table)
