If you find additional comparision information, please add a link to this page. *: SqliteVersusDerby - A comparision of SQLite and the CloudScape/Derby database recently open-sourced by IBM. *: SqliteVersusDbstar - A comparision of SQLite and the db.* database engine recently open-sourced by ITTIA. *: What about EmbeddedMySQL?: ({link: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/libmysqld_overview.html description}) I don't know enough to do a comparison myself, but it seems to have a lot of overlap.
