This actually might be good for a problem I ran into today. I'm distributing some source code with a large data file, one that we would like to store in a SQL database for ease of use. However, we don't know that the user machines will have MySQL installed. Would it make sense to use SQLLite in this instance? It sounds like you don't have to install it.



You do need to "install" SQLite, but not in the traditional sense. Most likely all you need to do is include a library that knows how to read and write to SQLite files. Worst case, you'll need to ship your code with a small static binary and call out to that.
